You should have seen the game I had against DM,I'm up 10-0 and my DB's,etc are playing great and then all the sudden they decide they dont want to play any longer and they just let the receivers run right by them like usual...I swear I replayed one for Dm where my guy just stood in place while his receiver took off.
Then I have a game next vs Stooge where they play like Supermen and swat and intercept everything,this game is fucking bizzare.

This is funny, when we mention this on IRC or something of the sort, others say that we're complaining about things 'cause we suck, but the problems are pretty damned apparent.

Hey remember last game I think I had 300 replays...you even had to accept that message so we could continue playing,I'm right next to you in the bitching department.

DM, I can't play tonight. How about tomorrow night around 9pm mountain time?
THIS IS A TRAVESTY! I beat Stooge (who played a good game, but got bad breaks) 63-33
Nice guy that I am or not, I want those freaking stats. I want them if it's a 3-0 game....It's a league, right? THE GAME FROZE ON THE "Reporting game results" screen after the game ended. I took a knee, waited for it to end. I didn't run up the score like a jackass, but then I get screwed out of that game because ESPN is pathetic.
It's like giving birth to a child. Watching him win the nobel peace prize and then settling for a normal child after a time-warp causes a distortion in the world.
Thanks Visual CONSHITS.

hey FMT our game posted but without stats. did you do that or did it happen on its own?
Im glad to see some of you completed games and got stats in. its not a total loss I guess but itll be hard to continue to play games knowing the servers may or may not work right at any given time.
i just read in that madden thread that maddennation.com is reporting leagues for EA premium services or some shit like that. looks like VC is giving them all the firepower they need to be able to charge for league play.
I predict in the next couple years there wont even be a Sega/Visual Concepts football game on the market. its a shame really but I will not buy their game next year.

no, i did it HG. i gave you the win by default, but no stats. it sucks but oh well.
from now on dudes, if you finish a game and it doesn't report, if the winner wants the default victory no problem. if both parties are cool with playing the game over, that's fine. but, if the game is at half time, and you're up by only a couple scores, i can't just give you the forefit if it disconnects you because a comeback is possible. however, if you are COMPLETELY dominating the game at half time, and your opponent admits it and says theres no way a comeback would have happened, i'll give the forefit.
but, if at all possible, TRY to replay the games to get the stats in. i know there will be hard fought victories that wont register stats, and in those cases just take the victory, but half the fun is the stat tracking so i'd like to get as much of it as possible.
also, check out the official league Power Rankings page (at the top and bottom of the league page). the link is here: http://mesmerized.org/jeff/powerrankings2.htm
i'll be updating them every week that goes by in the league to keep the rankings current. lots of thanks go out to konex for designing the sweet layout!

Fifty, it really sucks because the total points for is the tie breaker in this leauge.. we both would have had a healthy score going for us there, but now have a goosegg. Im gussing that the leauges went down at some point during the middle of our game, thats what happened last time I played in a tourny game.
In any case, our game was seriously screwed up... I think you threw 2 or 3 picks, and I threw about 4 or 5 plus the fumble... some were legit, but others seemed really off. On my pick that McKenzie took for a TD he was supposed to be dropped back into a zone a solid 5 yards behind the pass that he picked, but he went superhuman and came out of nowhere to jump that route... on one of the ones I threw, Driver was on a comeback route where he turned outside, and your CB jumped the route to the inside, and for some reason the ball got thrown there instead of where Driver turned... ugg.
Anyway, I let the game get way out of hand.. I got pretty fumed and started doing stupid shit in the middle of the 3rd quarter... the way I saw the game was I was down 2 scores (at that point) and was showing no signs of stopping you at all.. Im guessing if I had kept up with the run and punted the ball more I would have probably lost by a closer margin, but whatever.
Also, I nearly broke my controller when KGB got hurt. I was sure with my luck he was gone for the year

Fucking A so now we have to pay for leagues in Madden. Anyhow as far as no VC/SEGA sports games I say good ridence to bad rubbish. They should have pulled a 989/MS and not released tthis years and concentrated on next years game. This game isn't even worth 20 bucks. I guess you get what you pay for.

You're a good sport
I noted in the first half that our DBs were playing like all stars out there, when they usually have their heads up their asses. I wish this game was consistant!Cerebral Palsy

90% of this league is full of cry babies. I'd rather you throw your 2K5 discs in the garbage than listen to all of this crying.
p.s. If a game doesn't count you should have to replay it.

give me a break dude. you want people to NOT complain about legit problems? that's ridiculous. this game is broken in a million ways and you want people to "stop crying about it"? what a fucking joke. you're just mad because madden is going to outshine espn hardcore, even though everyone leading up to it said "twice as good and half the price!" sorry VC, you just can't win this fight
