When are you good to play, Dan?

Ha, thanks, but I'm the Bears in the regular one, thought I'd get bored playing the same schedule and seeing the same uniforms twice. Figured I'd go with someone I don't use ever and i a division with a couple of other user teams. Although if Halo pulls the same bullshit as usual, I'm out. Let's set the record straight about our game. You threw five interceptions and completed 45% of your passes, no doubt in large part because of lag since it was really bad. A big example of the lag is Matt Forte running for 90 yards on 11 carries which wouldn't of happened otherwise no matter what you dispute. But you also didn't play well at all either regardless of lag. Big indicator of that? 42 pass plays and 11 runs with a 12th run done by Cutler. Certainly not a winning strategy and you can point out that you were always "behind the 8 ball", but you weren't like that until the second half. And you were never balanced or ever used the clock to your advantage no matter what. I had a perfect game with Aaron Rodgers, I played quite frankly one of the best games I have played as a QB in Madden. The yards may have been slightly inflated because of the lag, or some really awesome mismatches for me with Greg Jennings fast as fuck in this game and blowing past everyone could be it as well, but there's absolutely nothing illegal or even close to disputable about how I played that game offensively. You only had a total of four plays where you stopped me for a loss all game and I'm betting all of them were running plays too. On top of this I held the ball over 2 to 1 on you and you not once all game tried to properly run the clock. You didn't have the patience to let the clock run down to at least 20 to 25 seconds each time which majorly hurt you and put your defense on an even worse playing field against my offense. And, amazingly so, I had a really good game with Cedric Benson - in large part due to the lag definitely - and I had a perfect ratio of runs to passes with 26 passes, 26 runs. Defensively the only thing I did that could even be possibly construed as not fair is my movement of my linebackers pre-snap, but it wasn't nanoblitzing. If you thought it was I'm sorry you feel that way, but it wasn't. There was one play all game where my guys got to one of yours within a second and that was AL anyway, so how that is my fault I don't know. If anyone wants a game with me outside of the league for me to prove my play then I will. I've already played DYSI outside of the league just to see if there was anything actually wrong with my play. And I haven't since done any movement with my linebackers since DYSI said that was the only thing playing wise that could be considered not good, even though I really don't think anything I did was illegal anyway. I played him again in the actual league after that and beat his Colts, sans any linebacker movement, and the only reason I even did that was because he threw 4 interceptions. Which is also why I could score 45 points against him. If you want the reason for my success: Charles Woodson has 9 picks and my next best guy has 6. Clay Matthews has 11 sacks. And I barely control them, especially not Woodson or Williams. It's turnovers and sacks, which inflates the scores and makes it almost impossible for me not to score 50+ a game with an average of 3-4 turnovers a game. I'm not cheating, I mean seriously what's the point? I only do this for some competition otherwise I just stick to my offline franchise.

I had to google it to find out what it even meant and in the game you never moved protection or seemed to change it at all from my perspective, so you must've been lagging really bad because at some points you'd turn with Matt Forte and it would look like he should've broken his legs with the way he moved/looked like a massive glitch and I should've been able to tackle him & it took you forever every play it seems to start the plays. I'm not even sure what this means for game protocol though. Does that mean I'm not allowed any movement with my linebackers until the snap, or what? Because from what Maxx described I don't think I was doing that - at least not regularly - very possible I did that a few times unknowingly because I was just looking for opening's to run in for a sack or run-stop but that wasn't intentional. I wasn't even blitzing every down or even close to it - by the second half I zone-packaged everything or put people in man coverage. And the Packers have at least a dozen different plays with two different guys going across the middle if not more, that's what they're playbook mostly consists of. I'd loft them, throw them over the shoulder even a few times, Aaron Rodgers is a beast. Same with Greg Jennings. And your defense had no speed to catch really anyone.

...Isn't that the point of a blitz? I'm either running around the blockers with my faster players or running through them, both of which I did during the game, particularly with Matthews on the outside (since he acts like a defensive end with the Packers defensive package) and more so with Bishop running inside through the running lanes. I didn't know it was a glitch, I just blitz often. I also spy, a lot, with my middle linebacker - especially with the screen passes that were burning me. I'm completely confused as to how that's illegal either - am I suppose to wait to the snap to anticipate a play and not motion my linebacker in particular directions or prepare them for an obvious blitz by not having them at the line?

My shit was just as laggy - hence why Forte had like 100+ yards on like 9 carries & a screen pass ended up getting like a 70 yard score. I used spy, zone & blitz packages most of the game and controlled my middle linebacker Bishop the entire time, and also did the same with Matthews from time to time. Is there something wrong with that? I've never played online before for Madden, besides a few off-handed games. & I just used the Packers playbook, no special schemes.

I never got it, or I missed it, but I'll accept it as soon as I see it.

I'm free now for the next few hours, or I'm free this weekend. Up to you.

Just did, didn't know you had set it to auto yet, so I'm good to go.

Ready for the season too. Also agree with Mystikz on the taking off injuries for the Preseason.

I think it's almost too realistic with the interceptions because it seems anytime the defense can get their hands on it, they can intercept it. And that seems to be almost every play.

Packers for me (bran45452).

Just rewatched the Pilot and it's amazing how far the show has come since the first season, but something I wanted to point out from the beginning of the second episode.

Which could lead to...

Resident Evil 6 Archives & Anthology look worthwhile if they actually did completely alter the graphics on all the previous games and made them appear, at least visually, almost brand new. I'm disappointed that the 360 didn't get RE1, 2, or 3 in its package deal - most disappointed about 3. One of my favorite games ever and won't get to relive it just because I own a 360, and it is probably more difficult to convert considering they were never on the original XBox. The trailers look promising though for the actual RE6, one of the few games I'm definitely getting this year besides Madden (for once).

I am, and the commercial was really great.
