CP,you dropped out of the ESPN league last year if I recall,so please,quit talking as if you have a spotless record.And didn't you attempt to be in the Madden stuff last year and drop out?I finished every Madden season last year that I started,so enough with the non sense.

At least I stayed in the ESPN league until we got someone to take over my team for me. I didn't leave everyone with a team and no owner.

Also, I didn't signup for any Madden leagues last year, though I was planning on it. 2 months free XBL sub ran out and I was busy with school.



Edit: NCAA isn't half as bad as the problems 2K5 had either IMO. We could have almost been done with this league already if people stopped crying and finished their games.

Though I came out on the winning end of my first league game, I just had one thing to note:

We call this Madden 2005.5, so is pulling your lineman off the line or spreading the line going to be allowed? It still has the same effect as in 2005 since there is no slide protection to help out.

no ck. no one should be using those cheesy tactics. i think i've played almost everyone in the league and no one has done it yet that i've seen

So no spreading the line? I don't think I've seen this in the games I've played, but I thought it was legit to stop the sweep. Either way, I don't use that feature (as my defensive stats show).
 
you can stunt the line to spread. but to physically move them (L trigger + Up on the D-pad) is pretty cheesy. perhaps it will be acceptable in madden 2006 because you can adjust your offensive lines blocking schemes, but it should be avoided in ncaa.

I had no choice but to quit,I played like 6 games and couldn't get any of them to report :lol

So what's the word chum(p)s, who is still in the league and who is out? My march to glory began yesterday, and I wouldn't want to deny a rightful ass-whoopin to all challengers.

(Also, I want to sell the game soon after the league is done [Not that it's a bad game, just that there are better games coming up], so let's get our games in fellas!)

By the way, my playbook is pass heavy, but I do run a lot, so plz don't complain about me being cheap and doing 4 wide options, I have exactly three formations that aren't four wide. :lol

Still in for the most part. I have to beat you at least once CK, to match my 1 victory over you in Madden.

That game last night could have really gone either way. If you didn't chuck up that bomb at the end of the first half that I inted and returned for the TD, you would have waltzed to victory.

Well, it could have, and should have, went the other way. What was up with your kicks? Not even mentioning the 2 consecutive kickoff out of bounds try (seriously, WTF happened there?), but on almost any other kick you tried, you shanked it, even that missed FG from inside the 20. Make that FG, and give me regular KO's, and I'd have to say I'd loose pretty badly. You were killing my D, especially on 3rd down conversions.

But yeah, that INT at the end of the 1st half shouldn't have happened. Seriously was thinking before it "I should just let the clock go out, let the clock run out"

Been playing too much Madden. The timing is crazy in comparison.

Damn, just lost 28-7 to lone, and now I am beating HG 16-0. The game almost feels predetermined. There's always one guy who just can't do shit on offense.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

:lol I know! I can't imagine that shit. For one thing, if I was playing I wouldn't have the time or be able to play at 100% if I was running over to the computer during the game, and since we never pause I have no clue how they find the time.....plus if I beat someone who was chatting I'd feel like I was beating someone who wasn't giving their all! :lol

I guess I am 2-1. 1-1 to Lone, 1-0 to HG.

Matrix, check your PMs.

yeah gg wellie. I could tell you were doing something because on some of my offensive possesions you ran out of time to call a play.

when I had that 97 yeard run for a TD and I looked at the score I was like "holy shit Im only down 3!"

couple of real obvious drops on my side but overall I think it went pretty well. I still hate the kicking.

I like kicking in this game more than madden. I've yet to miss a kick! True would be proud!

Ok, I'll look you up.

GG HG. There score didn't reflect the game at all. That fumble before the end of the 1st was BS, I didn't even use the strip button. Also, there were a couple of times where I would hit you from an angle, and your RB did some odd animation I've never seen (the one where he almost completely stops and then slowly picks up speed again). Should've ended closer.

Mother ass! I don't even need to play newsguy. :lol

It's cool, these are the new rules

if you are having scheduling problems or people in your division are flakes/quitters, fill in games with whoever you can find that's around.

There was no one else around.
