Yeah, they need to tone down the running back moves. Happens every time they implement a new feature. I can't believe they have a ratings "czar" and don't get that a tiny running back cannot mow down a defensive lineman, even if they had a running start.

[Tits McGee]

Tell that to MJD and Ray Rice

[Your Mom]

For my diary my running back is the shortest and lightest possible and I am still running over guys sometimes and breaking tackles I probably have no business breaking

Those guys are built like cannonballs. Dragsy is likely referencing the Darren Sproles type backs.

Perhaps but then again Lars isn't a dick deliberately exploiting it. He's just using his best player because the rest of his team sucks. When's his first user game? That will give us a better insight.

Week 5, vs me (Baltimore).

[Monkey D. Lars]

That Jackson from the Falcons just can't be tackled by anyone. He just knocks everyone back.

I played my game last night before I went to bed. The 2-0 Houston Texans came to Baltimore to face the 2-0 Ravens. It wasn't a walk in the park or anything, I won 27-17. It seemed like I couldn't get a good rhythm going against a stiff Texans defense. Luckily, Lardarius Webb stepped up with a crucial 90 yard pick six and Justin Tucker bailed me out a couple of times.

[Tits McGee]

any chance you can play today DYSI?

[DYSI]

I'll be on for a couple hours in a minute. If not then tomorrow I could be around at the same time.

[Rocketbusta]

I should be available in the morning to get our game in tomorrow Dragsy, about 6:30am my time (which would be about 12:30 there if the converter I'm using is correct) or after 10 am my time, until about 4 pm... so tomorrow should be alright to get our game done.

Bingo. They seem too overpowered, the stiff arms drag guys along for 5-10 yards in some cases.

Sounds good to me. I just popped on and saw you online, but I'm too tired to concentrate properly right now.

[Rocketbusta]

It's cool, the wife is watching some Netflix. Can't have her being unhappy, then I'll be unhappy.

[DYSI]

It looks like my 360 is pretty much dead, atleast I think it is. I was playing a CC game yesterday when it just froze towards the end. Didn't think much of it and didn't touch it since then until today and it won't get past the startup. It red ringed once before so I don't think this is a good sign.

I'll give it another day or so but I'm thinking it's a goner. Not sure if it's worth buying a new one with the PS4 coming out in a couple months but it'll be a waste of a Madden, plus I have GTA5 on pre-order.

[Your Mom]

[LL!]

Damnit, DYSI! Of course it's worth getting a new one! Madden 25! GTA V! Fix it! FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT!

[Rocketbusta]

Ridiculously high scoring game between Dragsy and I... over 1,000 yards on offense, with another 500 from kick returns (mostly Dragsy getting those Kick return yards)... 72-52 was the final score.

[Tits McGee]

hmmm let me know if it gets fixed somehow today

Maybe get a cheap second hand one just to tide you over a few months? Sell the broken one for parts on ebay? If worst comes to worst and you leave, I can take over as commish again if need be.

Yeah, that game really fucked me off. Not your fault, as I said on XBL, just couldn't believe I was so powerless against a back up rookie QB and Jonathan bloody Dwyer. I'd have thrown the console out the window if it hadn't been for Michale Bush's similarly absurd performance. The worst thing about those sorts of games is they skew your team stats for the whole season. And Hester's gonna be out a while with a broken collarbone. Shouldn't seem to matter though, Weems did pretty well in relief

At least I got an achievement for Cutler being a "new breed" QB (1 rush TD, 1 pass TD).

[The Heartbreak Kid]

You hear that, LL? They tried to top our Week 1 master piece.

But 7 TDs with Landry Jones?! Good lord.

[Rocketbusta]

Yeah, means next game he'll toss 5-6 INTs.

Seriously though, I can only think its because user v user games cause the D to be less skilled overall. Took me some time to adjust to kicking user v user.

I netted the Verizon MVP achievement which makes me feel dirty in a way.
