It is as simple as that. Give him the email/pass and he can just log on his xbox and play for you.

That's always in the back of my mind at the end of a game (though really, an injury could happen just as easily on the first play of the game). If I lost CJ, my offense would be largely destroyed. I've put a lot of points into his toughness rating for that reason (I think he only started out at like a 68...but I've got him up in the 80s now). Part of my problem is that I never learned how to quick sub players, and I'm too lazy to pause the game and bring in back ups. I've been mostly just relying on my auto sub settings to take him out when he's winded and hope that that's good enough.

Would an NFL defender ever run out of bounds or kneel on the ball when caught an easy Interception for 6 near the end of the game? I don't think so, those guys are so glad just to get the ball in there hands, they would always take the TD that is in front of them.

If your down alot, decide to continue passing, and throw it back for 6, I think you lose your right to complain about the score. (No offense Uber)

But if you have the ball on offense, and are up by a few TD's, you gotta run and kneel. It would be too easy to rack up XP otherwise. I know I have left more than a few TD's on the field to end a game, and that's how it should be.


I think a DB going the distance because no one can tacke him, VS. running offensive plays when the game is clearly over. Are very different circumstances XPwise.

I remember that time in college when his defensive lineman picked off a tipped ball near the opponent's redzone and Reed ripped the ball out of his own teammate's hands and took it back all the way for a score. That's still one of the best returns I've ever seen.

edit - I found the video of it. Shit, I remember watching it like it was yesterday. That Miami team was ing stacked.

I hate when I burn my timeouts late in the 3rd quarter or early in the 4th, I run up the middle and get nowhere specifically to get them to just run the clock out. Then my opponent still drives down the field and keeps scoring. I obviously gave up I can't stop the clock just slowly make you way down field and end the game. I think some people just need constant action on the field. If I am up 30+ going into the 4th I try my best not to score unless they start scoring multiple touchdowns. Of course I don't think I have been in that position in this league.

I can understand throwing picks, but it should be pretty obvious when someone has given up and just wants the game over.

I know this isn't exactly the point you're making, but when the interception effectively ends the game, guys almost always fall on it and don't try to run it back. This happens all the time in the NFL. Not sure what league you're watching.

falcons vs saints round 2

Blade 3D, where are you? We were supposed to play 20 minutes ago.

like when we played bv and newman had that pick6, there was like 3 or 4 minutes left in the game and i couldnt make up my mind whether to run it back or dive n run the clock out.

i say we draw a line and if you cross that line you get a strike. for instance if u run back a pick 6 up 21 points with less than 2 minutes left, strike.

That's not true Pitt vs Baltimore AFC championship troy ran it bac.....the only way they tend to fall on the ground is when they don't have any running room so they default to going down....chetty's point is when getting blown out and a out route gets jumped they always return those they never slide.

Originally Posted by sprice8688 i cant picture givin strikes for this

why not? thats how you stop people from doing shit theyre not supposed to. draw a line and if u cross it you get a strike. or a warning i mean there are some pick 6's that are unavoidable. i donno who it was but earlier in the year i picked off a screen play inside the 5, i mean i was basically in the endzone as i caught it. if some shit like that happens then fine. but if ur up big inside of two minutes and u pick it off just slide. and anything outside of 2 minutes is fair game. i donno just an idea....

I think we are trying to tell people how to play. I think what sprice said if your getting blown concede the lost. If you throw a int you can't expect for someone to slide its not running up the score its just apart of the game...

It is absolutely true. Guys deliberately go down on picks all the time when the interception can finish the game. I never said it happened every single time, but I was just responding to LV saying that he can't imagine NFL players doing it. They do it frequently.

falcons 27 saints 7

well to start this game off brees throwing a pick then matt ryan's first play was a pick as well. so as you can tell defense came to play this game.

Matt Ryan 6 for 17 with 94 yards and 2 picks
Green Ellis- 16 carries 80 yards 1 fumble 99 carry my ass lol
Taiwan Jones 7 carries 51 yards
My wideouts number not worth mentioning at all

Defense had 7 picks 3 for TDs 3 sacks 1 forced fumble
Dunta robinson had 2 pick 6's 1 forced fumble 1 tackles aka DPOW

GG neworlbush25 im glad we had a good game and that there is no problem this time our divison rival is going to be a great amount of fun for me in this league from this season on. good luck the rest of the season.

also to note if he had sproles this game wouldnt look like this at all i prolly would have lost i had no answer for him last game just got lucky he wasnt in there this one

If there are a few minutes left up big and your opponent is still throwing and you get a pick, I don't have any issue taking it back for 6.

If there are under two minutes left and you can end the game with kneeldowns, I think it's respectful not to take it to the house. Not only does it not run up the score, but it prevents the opportunity for players to get injured.

As n8 pointed out earlier though, the onus to end the game in a respectful and sportsmanlike fashion isn't 100% on the winning team. I think a team trailing by 30 points with under two minutes left shouldn't be calling timeouts to stop the clock when their opponent is trying to run it out, especially if they're taking knees. If you can't possibly win the game, there's really no point in prolonging it.

It's okay. I wasn't mad or anything. I just got on my PS3 to play a different game. I should have PM'ed you, so I'll do that now.
