THE REAL TSM Madden 10 Official Online Franchise

[Agent_Bond34]

However you guys see fit to handle this thing, I'm all for it.

 

[Vitamin X]

Just a note for everyone, I'm around quite a bit this week- I don't have school and I only have to work on Friday afternoon, so I'm pretty free if I have to play anyone. I'm leaning towards the idea of a 2 week holiday break since some of us might not be around as much then. Other than that, I was considering giving the commish spot to Broward but again the problem with that is that I can't play during that time anyways (and I don't want to see simmed games in this league if we can help it) and I know a couple of you guys may have trouble getting games together during that time as well.

 

[Smues]

I'm fine with that break since I'll be gone next week. But I have a vs human game in week 17 and if it cant happen before probably Friday night I'm not likely to be available for it for another week.

BTW just finished my week 16 game. Raiders beat the Browns, and yes ladies and gentlemen, the SHITTY Raiders led by the SHITTY Madden player Smues are going to the playoffs, even after a 2-6 start.

I see that there are zero human vs human matches this week, so if everyone could get in their games in as soon as possible we could get to the awful week of THREE human vs human matches.

WOOOOO

Another Bills loss.

 

[Broward83]

Texans win in Miami during what appears to be monsoon season. Miami dominated Houston statistically but three INTs and two fumbles (one of which came with :01 in the first half which then lead to a 53yd TD bomb to 'Dre) doomed the 'Phins.

Dre had a pedestrian 142yds with two TDs while Schaub threw for 223 on 16 of 24.

Will you be serious?

 

[oldskool]

Feel free to win your next one so you can rest your starters when we play in the last week!

But since I'd still get crushed, I think you have Pittsburgh next, and them losing is also good for me.

Good news for you: Ravens win 13-10, putting Pittsburgh at 8-7 and giving you the inside track to the #5 wild card seed
Bad news for you: Ravens win 13-10, so you're the only thing between me & 16-0. No rested starters for you!

You're in the playoffs regardless as long as either you win one of two (better beat 2-12 Cleveland this week) or if Denver loses either of its last two, if I read the standings right.

 

[Smues]

I beat cleveland, and since I beat pitt earlier I think i'm locked into the 5 seed. so I look forward to getting owned in week 17!

 

[oldskool]

Oakland before Pittsburgh, so via the alphabet you win the #5 seed. Clearly you've nothing to play for so you should either rest your everybody or go to the real NFL thread & play the JaMarcus Drinking Game during our battle.

 

[Smues]

I was considering resting people, but I'd be better off playing Russell and hoping he gets hurt.

 

[Smues]

Looks like we're just waiting on VX and PK to smash their opponents before we can advance.

 

[KingPK]

And smash I did, beating Jacksonville 52-10. This sets up the Battle for the Bye next week with Broward. Anyone want to set an over/under for that game?

Actually, if the Ravens lose and I win, I get the #1 seed because they completely ignore tiebreakers and do it alphabetically, right? That would mean Broward has no shot at the #1 seed even if he wins.

 

[Broward83]

FUCK YOU PK...I HATE THE ALPHABET

 

[Smues]

Does it seriously just go alphabetical for tie-breakers? Wow that is beyond retarded. Because the x-box 360 just doesn't have the processing power to use the real tie-breaker system I guess.

Is this just an on-line or does it do the same thing in solo dynasty mode?

 

[Broward83]

No clue, but its not a 360 / ps3 thing, its EA being fucktardingly lazy in putting in the resources available to them to make Madden more realistic.

So yeah, Pats / Texans. Again, I lose out on the #1 seed.

 

[Smues]

Well yeah that was a joke, obviously the system could calculate the tie-breaker. The NES could have done it.

 

[Broward83]

Honestly though...the PS3 rep at my job would tell you its the truth. The PS3's processor speed plus its use of blu-ray discs allow for a richer processing process and larger amount of data to be processed.

 

[Vitamin X]

Good news everyone!

I'm postponing my trip until Christmas morning, so there'll be a shorter holiday break and it will start a little later. That gives us all about a week from today to finish up the season, which will consist of Weeks 16 and 17, then the playoffs, which will obviously be much shorter. Both leagues should be in the offseason for the break, and since both leagues haven't gotten there yet, maybe it won't be such a bad thing.

 

[Broward83]

....so, are we movin on to week 17 or no?

I kinda need to beat PK for pride since it won't fuckin matter in the grand scheme of things.

 

[Smues]

Last I looked we just needed VX to play his game. If I'm really lucky we'll advance by tomorrow and I can hook up with oldskool and get our game out of the game. First round of the playoffs will have me against the CPU I think so I'll be able to play that while out of town (I think.)

 

[Broward83]

Yeah, was hoping VX was done because I could play PK tomorrow night after I get home from work and that'd clear another hum vs hum match off the list.

 

[Smues]

Looks like we've advanced. If you thought the Raiders sucked normally just wait until my line-up of 2nd and 3rd stringers takes the field, it's going to be a blood bath.

Oldskool, what timezone are you in and what time(s) on Friday would be good for you if any?

 

[Broward83]

PK, what's a good time for you? I should be home 'round 10:30pm CST.

 

[bps21]

Would anyone be angry if I chose to just tank the last game since I'm the only human not making the playoffs?

Cause I'm gonna

 

[Broward83]

..and you wouldn't trade me Poz or anyone else why again?

 

[bps21]

Hey I made a run at it until the refs screwed me out of the Chiefs game.

 

[bps21]

I decided to just run to keep the clock moving and let the chips fall where they may.

Lynch fumbled twice in scoring range and that was that.

 

[fazzle]

So...I'm pretty sure I have VX this week, right? After I get off work today, I'm laid off for 2 weeks (fuckin job, making me take 2 weeks UNPAID time off. Merry Christmas!) so I'm basically good any time after 4 PM or so.

Oldskool, what timezone are you in and what time(s) on Friday would be good for you if any?

East Coast...and technically any time from now until about 3am EST Saturday morning. Just fire me a PM, it'll send me an email and so long as I'm in the room I'll see it.

 

[KingPK]

PK, what's a good time for you? I should be home 'round 10:30pm CST.

I'll be around by then.
