the *NEW* Official Madden Xbox League Thread Season I: F U EA (Now with poll!)

Do you want 5 minute quarters, or 6 minute quarters?


Results are only viewable after voting.
it will be a rule in season 2. if there is under 2 mins left, and the opposing team has no timeouts, kneel the ball or run the clock out with some up the middle runs.

i know when i play gunstar or dm or whoever, and the game is close in the end im always throwing passes to give them a chance but i never score on purpose. now i see this is wrong. hey, if you earned the victory (whether it was by luck or whatever) just take it. let the other person bitch about how the game screwed him instead of you trying to run up the score. us late-game passers mean right, but from now on just take the knee and the victory.

Good clutch win Bob, GL in the playoffs. Slo we can play tomorrow if you'd like but my schedule is exactly the same as today. What I can do is bring the Xbox to work and play our game around 8pm.

Hah, no one in the NFC has any momentum going into the playoffs, it's funny.

Just played a game against DJ and Tiki had 3 fumbles, Eli threw two weird as fuck ints. My offense continues to give the other team more points than my defense.
 
no one has any momentum!?

i beat you, gunstar and truelize! all tough games i needed to win as i was not only in danger of losing my division title, not only in danger of losing my 1st round bye, but in danger of missing the playoffs! alex smith is a hero!

Newsguy, my AIM is NateCantDance. I'll be awake up until about 11:00 Central. Much past that and I doubt I'll be up. I really have no motivation to play this game other than to finally have this league over with. :-\ Let me know.
 
shhh! alex will hear you if you bad mouth the niners....

I should be the 4 seed as I beat KC head to head. I don't know who outseeds who between myself and Chicago, but look at week 1. No way am I the 6th seed. At worst I am the 5th seed while KC is 6th seed.
 
problem is that, per NFL rules, when 3 or more teams have the same record it can no longer default to head to head, it goes to record among common opponents. he beats both you and bob in that category.

trust me, the site calcuates it automatically.

Just makes no sense that the site ranked me #4 all this time then all of a sudden I am lower than Chicago and a KC team that I already beat. Do division opponents count as common opponents? If they do he is 4-3 against common opponents and I am 4-2. If they don't count we are both 2-1 and I own a 2 game advantage over him in conference games which is the next step :lol

Oh well, EA servers have been down forever so I've just been running practice mode against KC because thats what the site said my ranking would have me play. Guess I'll just get owned.

Cloudy, when do you want to get the last game in? I'll be around for another 20 minutes or so, and I "should" be open for most of tomorrow, until Lost comes on.

GG, Cold. Man that was close. We went to overtime and he was nearly in FG range when Nick Barnett intercepts the pass and runs it back for a TD.

P.S. - Only person with a top five opponent record to make the playoffs. :D

Oh my bad I didn't notice you were one of them sorry :)

I don't care if im ranked 2nd or not I'll be able to get those 2 games done tommorow.
I'll have a bye week anyway right? So you guys don't have to worry about me lagging the playoffs.

Good stuff. Anyway, I hope you win at least one (you most likely will) just because I don't feel like sorting out yet another tiebreaker!

Hey I apologize for not making our game time at 9:45pm but I was pretty much told at the last second I had to work an extra hour and that's why I wasn't on live. I just got home and I'm eating dinner. Can you play in 25 minutes? (11pm)

Hey Slo, I'm still at work. I'll bring the xbox to work tomorrow and we can play at 8:00. It has to be exactly at that time though cause it's in between the shows we do.

newsguy, you may still have a shot at the playoffs.

Whoa how in the heck would newsguy make it in? Not that I wouldnt want him in,stand up guy,but this is getting bizzare.


Also DM telling me he has a chance at making it in with his bleh record is just a big wtf moment,the NFC should be ashamed of themselves:p,well except CK and FMT.
 
alright, i have it figured out and things are staying as they are.

reason being is the new nfl rules, which were instituted when the league switched formats, doesn't fit our league because we don't have 4 divisions. this would make the divisional elimination of weakest contender pointless.


so what i'm doing is saying ando beat malley, malley beat bob, bob beat newsguy. simple as that. playoffs will move forward as i have them.

i'm sorry to get your hopes up newsguy, this shit is confusing. i'm sure leaguedaddy had it correct anyways, but i haven't gotten a response from glenn (owner).

playball ladies!
