careful slo, azyuma is 10-1 online in madden. not sure who that 1 loss was to... :D

I wasn't being sarcastic, I was being genuine. I'm not really where I want to be with Madden yet. :-\

Good luck Azy.

GG dskillz, and by GG I mean what an ugly piece of shit game. (We both have under 30 yards at the half!!!) I'm sure you're dissapointed, since OT losses suck. That lag was so bizarre....I would have guessed it was my new router but I've played over 30 games with it and none of them have had any lag so I'm guessing it was on your side. You did an incredible job stopping me all game...until I realized you were in zone and I motioned Heap.

Actually, I was in a TE Corner defense most of the time. That is why there were two people around Heap when he caught the ball, lol. Also, that is why when you ran to the right, a LB was right there to stop Lewis. When your returner fumbled, and my guys acted like they had no idea what to do, I figured I was about to lose this one. gg

The lag is on my end. It is getting better as it seems to just strike every now and then. My ISP is actually doing some upgrades over here and promises things will be ok. I can't complain too much as they cut my bill in half for my troubles, but hopefully it is worked out soon.

Good game man, as you can tell I don't have control of the cone yet. Good luck in the tournament.

Good game, I feel so bad winning that way. :( You totally deserved it.

I got so frustrated at the end of the first half when I thought I was gonna spike the ball but it was just the normal hurry up back to the same play. Couldn't even get a FG out of that drive. Then I couldn't concentrate and I hit the kickoff out of bounds then shanked a punt. :(

I thought you played really well, asside from those couple kicks. And that pains me to say that to a Packer fan. :)

cp, is tomorrow around 7-10 central good for you? The earlier the better. My aim name is drey1082.

I just got home. I can play within the next couple of hours. I think tomorrow around then should be fine also.

Holy shit I just barely edged out Malley in what had to have been the closest game of all time. I still have butterflies in my stomach.
 

Malleymal

You now belong to FMT.
GG Wells... my dumb ass clicked on Knight who was supposed to cover that zone.... i take total blame for that botched D, but that was definately a classic...

GG man. there were at least 3 points in the game where you got screwed. The one that stands out was that WIDE OPEN pass on 3rd and 7 (to your fullback, TE?) where he simply didn't catch the ball. That' was a sure TD. I thought you played well though, you ran all over me.

That play was beyond fucked up,but I'm used to that happening in this years version,last year I wouldnt have dropped a wide open TE slant.Running is the only thing my team can do :| Last year I would be lucky to get 20 yards on the ground.

Ice, I am on the East Coast so 2 AM EST is a little too late for me. I can pretty much play tonight, Monday, or Tuesday between the hours of 7 PM - 12 PM EST. I believe we have 3 days for each round, if we don't play we both lose automatically.

Well Ice, I waited as long as I could for you, 1:30 AM EST but I have to goto work in the morning and you aren't answering your AIM. I can play on Monday between the hours of 7 PM - 12 PM EST.
 
Wow, just our luck, I work during the hours your home (3pm-11pm) and you work when Im home...well ill be on aim and accept your friend request to see when we can play...

Tonight would be good. I work so I really can't play that late. Anytime before 10 central would be great.

Okay, well IM me (FredEx KC) when you got home from work then. My router died, so if I'm not connected to IM I'm most likely on XBL.

Well I have Panthers now since my 2 called choices were taken (Broncos/Raiders)
Last team left is the Jaguars.
Oh yea, what if I accidently signed up for GAF A tourny?

PS: how the hell can you like Broncos AND the Raiders?

Alright, I've played against three random people online. Can someone see if I have this right? I've never played Madden online so bear with me if some of this is old.

I had two people quit on me so far. There were three options, keep playing CPU, quit mercy, and quit no mercy. I chose quit no mercy the first time, but I never got the win. So I assume that it just gives my opponent the loss, but I don't get the win? Today when someone quit on me, I kept playing the CPU and got the win. Did he get the loss? Say the CPU comes back and beats me, would he get the win? Would I get the loss?

Also, can someone explain how the online league works (that apparently isn't set up yet?), what advantages would an online league have to something we could organize here?


edit---How do I leave feedback? Do I have to remember the user name on my own? I don't mind playing random people as I know what I'm getting into, but I fully intend on leaving feedback for the pricks.

Thanks for the game FMT, and the lessons! That was really fun and I learned a lot. Good win and good luck in the rest of the tourney!

No prob, good game overall...very tight...i didn't think i would get out of the first round.

gg Guileless. I think I've finally got my running game down with Portis. 200+ yds! Now if only I could get Ramsey in gear..... -7 Passing Yards! :/

After a controversial win I move onto the second round to meet Lonestar.

How the heck did you score that much man? What was it? 38 points? That's sick. I'm scared.
 

Lonestar

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
Everything was running on all fours, everything worked in my favor. Talk to Ror, and he'd tell you that streak is over. Lost 6-3, but I had to hold onto him getting only 2 FG, and I couldn't do crap when it counted.

Well we got like 11 hours to get round 1 done and ShadowRedz is a complete no show so far. Anyone know him? I will be up for a few hours if he can play.
 
shadowred was supposed to forefit his game or withdraw since he was going on vacation. i'm going to be pretty pissed if he didn't doesn't do it/didn't do it before he left
 

Lonestar

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
uh oh, I've figured out Motion!

Not in that I didn't know how, but now comes mixing up the Defense to fit my goals.

Formation Shifts are allowed? I don't think that bug is still in the game.

Merry Christmas Ice, I withdraw from tourney. No reason for both of us to DQed. Good luck.
 
Does that mean I move up to round 2 in the tourny?
Thanks anyway, but you didn't have to do that, I would have withdrawn if you wanted.
