This game is 100 kinds of bull shit. I seriously almost went full Wellie on this game and almost broke my controller.

yeah i said in the chat everything was just going my way. every scramble/pass was right on the money from kap, my guys held onto the ball for the most part, your guys dropped every pass in traffic and my D was all over the place. the only bad thing that happened was the strip/recovery on the kap read option play.
for some reason (maybe speed drop and i actually have a receiver with speed against him instead of boldin?) sherman isn't nearly as dominant this season.

Nothing I do matters. Any time a guy looked open either your dudes recovered to hit them and they dropped it, your guys recovered and made a pick, Russell threw it to your guy instead of the receiver. Meanwhile I have 3 dudes in the vicinity and Boldin catches and tip toes out of bounds. I try to run with Wilson and I get sacked.
Kaep scrambles on every third down for 15+ yards despite me being in QB contain.
My kicker hits the fucking upright on a 23 yard FG.
Every crossing route is covered and if I throw elsewhere its picked.
If I call play action I'm sacked or Russell over throws it.
Honestly my last two games have just been so awful and un fun it makes me question why I bother. I can't remotely compete with players like you and LJ even after all these years.

you swept me last year! and you won the division!
as for kaps scrambling, most of the damage i did was up the middle. that is the key to scrambling. the only way you can get outside is if the end/lb gets pancked and it doesn't happen too often.
another thing is you tried to throw some of those passes going into 12 mph wind, which i cant stress enough its a crapshoot doing that. most of my success passing came when i had the wind at my back, and i tried to keep things VERY short otherwise.
i sympathize on the missed FG. did the same thing a few times, including the play-in game against LJ last season (missed 2 chip shots like that in the stupid SF wind). on some of the deep passes i left your guys 1 on 1 over the top. if you see that, sometimes you just need to chuck it up there and live with the results, i had a few one on one against your guys where i couldn't come down with it but normally 1 on 1 doesn't get picked in that scenario (especially against so so CB's)
sometimes luck is on your side in the game and i had it this game

Also punting into 10 mph wind with the shitty fucking kick meter this year can eat a fat fucking dick. When you can't get more than 75% kick power it almost makes no sense to punt for that whopping 20 yard change in field position.
FMT the one on one chuck it deep does t work for me because my receivers are slow, can't beat the press and my Oline doesn't pass block well enough for me to wait. Every time you brought pressure I got sacked.

your offensive line is better than mine at basically every position (maybe not LT, but it's close)
maybe im just used to the meter but i dont have much of a problem getting full meter most of the time. just press it early and you're fine. snap, give it a beat, and the press up
as for your receivers, they are slow!? here are your receivers speed ratings in no order: 89, 87, 94, 92, 82, 86. you have catch ratings of 89, 91, 87, 89, 81, 83 and catch in traffic rating (going up for the ball amongst multiple defenders) of 92, 93, 82, 77, 83, 73. you also have kearse rated a 92 jumping richardson a 90 and baldwin an 89. route running is pretty decent amongst them as well. the key is when you are in the pocket, dont move your QB right before you throw it'll cause accuracy issues. and as i said earlier, don't always automatically bail out to the outuside on scrambles, sometimes the best scrambles are picking your way through the open holes in the middle. because tiburon can't program properly, they've programmed to basically have the oline "release" the ends if you break contain. then you're fucked

The one time Baldwin got behind a corner the corner jumped and picked it off. Which, I guess I should've lobbed it or something but ugh. I tried everything I could thing of in that game and ended up with sub 40% completions and less than 150 yards of offense.

Look at this asshole pretending he doesn't have a history of throwing controllers.

Holy crap first time ever in Madden 16 that a Giants player gets POW. My rookie FS had a top tier game. I was able to switch to him and get a user pick while the ball was in the air.
I've been doing a lot better as well with throwing picks. "Only" 7 thrown in 6 games!

Yes bruh.
Steam refund? I think 2 hours will be enough to gauge how well it runs.

Anno is really fun but the new one is fairly dumbed down. I enjoyed it a lot but completely stopped playing it after a week. Way too easy to get rich and coast.

Did you seriously expect anything different
When his deep ball rating is 63 and his short ball rating is 80, yes, I expect him to be more accurate than throwing the ball 5 yards to the right of the target
That's true to life
Closest thing I found is this:

Thanksgiving sale starts today? I'm definitely getting Anno 2205 if there is a decent discount.
Spent my entire morning working from the Country Club. Answered emails all morning from the course and now am finalizing my 2016 budget in excel, all from a "tablet." Fuck this thing is awesome. And the keyboard is legit as fuck (outside of smelling like shit).
Girls in the office will be happy because I'm going to be going in way less often now. Fuck just answering emails, I can do all my work from this thing and it is way less annoying than a big laptop and more functional than a netbook. SO GOOD.

Does it play Dota?
Yup! Better than the massive laptop I had been using, too.
Which model did you get? Thinking of getting one with my year end bonus.
Go for the I5 128gb model at the very least.

What's the latest you could play tonight?
Lately I've been getting home around 9:30 EST but I'm expecting tonight to be a little later.

You lost your soul in florida dude lol.
There is always a chance, but the answer is the same as every week. I don't know that I can play any later than 9 without a doubt. Doesn't mean I can't play, but before 9 I could play for sure. After, I don't know until I know.
He's too busy saving up for his next vape rig to buy a PC.
I'll keep you updated.
If you're for some reason home before 3EST I could play then too.
