TSM Madden NFL 10 League- Play your WEEK 2 games by 11:59 P.M. 9/1/09

Hearing about stuff like that is why I wish I had someone in my division. The way Leo plays, it sounds like Week... 9? Whatever. It sounds like it'll be a barnburner.

For me, divisional matchups vs. Loaded Glove will probably end like 35-10 Vikings. I suck at this game on All-Pro.

I started to play my game yesterday but had to quit. It was only in the first quarter, but I just wanted everyone to know in case they were to question why my game will have been started twice.

I think the time limit should be done on a week by week basis. More human vs human games there are, the longer the time limit should be.

I like this idea. What do the rest of you think?

We only have 2 head to head games this week, and 1 is already done.

Fuck me... I can't catch a break. I was leading the Bengals in a defensive struggle 9-3, and with 30 seconds left, I missed a field goal which they returned for a TD. Bengals 10, Packers 9. All-Pro is so cheap it's not even funny.

Plus, your pressure was putting Shaun Hill on his ass, which was well done on your part.
My return game was giving me some damn good field position to begin drives. That helped out a lot because I'd be starting drives near the 40.
I have to mention this, but on that last drive, or I think it was the FG you made, I totally flubbed the kick because the lag took some time to adjust to for online games, and that hurts a LOT when kicking. I had one that I fucked up completely because even though I kicked it at what I'm used to being the right time, online it lags a second or two and messes it up.
I also need to run the ball more myself, because if I have an all-pro RB, so he definitely needs more carries as the season goes on.
Yup. Frank Gore is a beast in this game. He is hard as hell to bring down. The gang tackles are pretty awesome to watch here, I think there were a few runs you had where Gore was dragging like 4 or 5 of my guys.
The number of dropped INTs on this game is really frustrating too.
Yeah, that's a Madden trademark by now.

I'm hyper-competitive, so go figure. Also, I had a habit of absolutely dominating everyone I played in Madden from high school on through about Madden 04, at least in real life. Then I switched to NFL2k5 the following year and then didn't have a video game system until last year so I missed out on 06, 07, and 08. So I'm just recently getting my Madden skills back, I think, something which is a lot more fun with this year's edition than last year's, which was poorly made and a step above NFL Blitz in arcadey-ness.

Also, we play in Week 8, so you've almost got the right idea!

I think it should be okay if you have to start your game twice, and offer an explanation if it's more than that, which there shouldn't be. Sometimes you start playing games on Madden and shit happens so you have to play the game out another time, ya know? Also,

Come on, man! Don't embarrass my Packers like that! The Bengals???

I'll be willing to make a wager with you for Green Bay in Week 16 when we play. You lose, I take Green Bay. I lose, I'll send you a decent amount of MS Points. Let me know what you think of that.

Yeah, the second delay in online kicking is really irritating to me, because you have to flick the stick back up a second earlier than you normally would when playing offline. I feel your pain.

It often times messes up my timing, as well.

I won a hell of a game.....sort of.

I scored on my first drive, a 40-yard TD reception by Hewyard-Bey (which I think is a good omen in my fantasy football league). Held off the Chiefs the rest of the game, a 7-0 lead, until they broke a tackle after a reception from their own 30, a game-tying TD with just over a minute left. Flustered, I threw a pick on my first play of the following drive, giving them what should have been the game. I had all my timeouts remaining, so they kneeled twice, then threw the ball for some reason on 3rd and 12. Picked and returned for a 14-7 win.

Except for the fact I was disconnected from the servers shortly after the second half began. I really didn't know what to do, so I kept playing.

I'd be willing to consider it, but I don't even know if I, as the commissioner, can leave without deleting the league. I'd have to leave to rejoin as another team.

Man, like I said, All-Pro and higher difficulties are cheap (proven fact; not an opinion) and I just cannot catch a break.

What we probably should've done is looked for a slider set possibly.

And if all goes well, oldskool and the Falcons Guy will play to see if who will keep their winning streak alive.

You should check your commissioner options to see if it will let you change teams without having to leave/delete the league.

If I take him up on the wager, yeah. Also, Kageho, there is no option for sliders in online franchise, just as there is not option to turn off the shitty fight for the fumble.

All's not going well, Falcons guy hasn't accepted my friend request and he was only on for about 10 minutes in the last week before he disappeared again, leaving me to camp the online franchise homepage.

Took a miracle tackle with 1 second left to even get you that field goal at the end of regulation, you gambler you.

I gambled for the win, because I thought you wouldn't get back there. You were awesome in passing coverage, until I went to no huddle. Then the wheels came off.

Honestly people this game was so stolen its not even funny. Hell, I tried running a pass play, called a run play and tried making it a pass play at the end of the first half, that I should've lost this one.

Kasay kicked the first game's field goal after I screwed up and let Williams run for like 80 yards on the very first play. I kept the rushing in check the rest of the game, but that was terrible.

The second half went more his way when I gave up a touchdown to Muhammad when he was triple covered! I was laughing my ass off because I figured this was such a lost game. I still trudged on. I also tried the above running play at the end of the half instead of kicking a field goal.

But the best part of the game and that got me refocused was Owens' recovery of that fumble for 24 yards. You do realize oldskool if you had challenged that it would've been down by contact. It wasn't a real fumble.

In the third, I finally got close to him with a short turned into bomb TD pass by Jerious Norwood. I'm almost thinking of converting the guy to WR for good. At least gives me a speedy threat.

Then I managed to hold him off near my end at the end of the fourth with 2 minutes left. I decided to go no huddle and boy did that work out better than I expected. Though I really should've just kicked the field goal with 6 left, I was on the 2 I figured I could punch it in. Thank god I got the timeout in at 1 second left. Rapid button mashing for the tied field goal!

Got the coin toss in OT, and did what any sensible coach would do. Run a nearly perfect no huddle drill and get the winning field goal!

I'm so psyched! Now with this shitty game out of the way, maybe I'll play good against real opponents.

Carolina doesn't have the pass coverage capabilities to cover Gonzales, White & Norwood during a no-huddle. They can't cover them regardless of how much huddle you use, really, we have no speed in the secondary (seriously, I think Harris the SS has speed in the mid-70s, and he was the one trying to run down 95+ speed Norwood)

And I did see the Jarrett fumble would've been down by contact in the post-game replays. I wasn't sure at the time...couldn't justify the challenge, figured the defense would continue to hold well enough to make it irrelevant.

Hell, I tried running a pass play, called a run play and tried making it a pass play at the end of the first half, that I should've lost this one.
I wondered what the fuck you were doing calling a FB draw play with 6 seconds left in the half, in field goal range, with no timeouts.

What I took away from this game is that I need to edit my defensive audibles. No variety in there at all, I couldn't do anything and for whatever reason I decided to not call any timeouts ever.

That makes all the user games played, so I will advance the schedule in a few minutes. Games will need to be played by 11:59 P.M. Pacific time on Friday night. And just so you guys know, the next week will likely be 7 days to account for the Labor Day weekend.

We have 3 head to head games this week:

Falcons vs. Patriots
49ers vs. Vikings
Panthers vs. Cowboys

Also, watch as I trek toward an 0-16 record!

TSM Madden NFL 10 League- Play your WEEK 3 games by 11:59 P.M. Friday, 9/4/09

I managed to, in the same span of four quarters, win a game I absolutely should have, and win a game I had no business winning.

KC and I had a great game going. I get the ball at half and quickly tie the game up at 7, force a three-and-out, and control the ball for most of the rest of the second half.

With two minutes to play, I'm at their eleven-yard line, with all kinds of momentum. I throw a quick pass to Run DMC on first and ten, who catches it for two then eats up some yard. I dive to get the first...and fumble. I still have all my timeouts, so, even though KC storms upfield, I manage to get the ball back with about a minute left. The game's still tied, because they miss a twenty-five yard field goal. I go three and out, punt, but on first down, Larry Johnson breaks for about 50 yards, and they're back down to a thirty-yard field goal. They wind the clock down to three seconds, call time, make the kick with no time left on the clock, but get penalized on the play, and we're off to OT.

They won the flip, but I forced a three-and-out and won with a field goal, even converting a third-and-ten from my 35 to keep the drive going.

Bills move on to 3-0 with a 31-17 defeat of the Saints.

Trent Edwards was just 7/11 for 103 yards, with 1 TD and 1 INT.
Lynch ran for 141 yards on 17 carries, with 1 score.
Drew Brees, meanwhile, threw 3 picks for the game, 2 to McGee, one of which was returned for a score.
Roscoe Parrish got the other Bills TD on a punt return.
Pierre Thomas also got shut the fuck down, just 16 yards on 15 carries.

Well I was up 14-0 and doing whatever I wanted to the Bengals and they just returned a kick for a TD breaking roughly 30 tackles in a display of how sometimes video games are ridiculous.

Steelers win 35-14. Their Offense never scored and their Defense never stopped me from scoring.

Roethlisberger 14-20 128yds
Parker 31 carries for 139 yds 3 TDs and a 2 pt conversion
Polamalu had a pick 6 after their second Kick return for a TD...and I yelled at Palmer to lick his nuts as he ran by his diving tackle attempt.
