I am not sure if everyone's practice teams are the same, but that 99SPD, high release wide receiver always gets me. It's not too bad though, I won my last one 65-9.

my practice squad always has a beast RB but the QB is a bum he sucks

On top of that, my starting OLB Erin Henderson got hurt for the year. I do have a question about onside kicks though. How early in the 4th is too early for one? I was down 21-3 and scored a TD, converted the 2 to make it 21-11 with a little over 3 minutes left. I was really tempted to go for the on-side kick to try and keep momentum but didnt wanna come across as a dick. Was that too early or would I have been right to try for one there?

Well, since you were down by 2 scores, I don't think the onside kick would have been uncalled for there. It would basically just be "going for broke" right away. But alternatively, you'd be kicking it deep, trusting your defense to get the stop, and using your timeouts to keep as much time on the clock as possible. Then, when you get the ball back, you have to score (TD or FG) and THEN go for an onside kick. I don't know that you made the WRONG call, as the onside kick could have just as easily backfired. It seems it just didn't work out for you.

Lions Vikings going down at 5 EST 4 CST.

Yeah, that was basically the thought. I was hoping ultimately that the D could keep Turner in check as they had done for the game until that drive, but it didn't work out. not doing the onside kick definitely wasn't the reason I lost but I wanted to ask for future situations as well.

I thought the practice squad was your team, they have the same jersey numbers as your own players.

Maybe a scaled down version but definitely not your exact team

Troy I'm gonna be like five minutes late.

Ok I'll be waiting.

I'm tired of this cocksucking bullshit game.

Oh, and lagging out of the first game where it looked even and now it's just all him.

Hey champ, I know you've got a thin 28 point lead, so passing it with 3:30 left in the game just so you can convert a crucial third down in my territory is totally awesome.

Oh hey, he caught a pass in the open field that should've gone for a touchdown, but oh happy day he ran out of bounds at the one so he could run it in with his running back! What a great player!!!11

Past two games I've played have been the exact same way. So frustrating.

45-10 DET final. I am beyond disgusted right now.

I was running the clock down (my time of possession was 15+ minutes)...you bet me by 30 last season I wasnt trying to run it up, that's why my time of possession was so much more than yours I'm sorry if I offended you. I know how lethal you are in this game as I got whooped twice by you and multiple times in scrimmages...

You certainly got shafted by madden but I really wasn't trying to do anything rude. You played a good game things just didn't go your way.

Technically, yes, you ran some clock. But running the play clock down to one on a play doesn't mean you get to pass it on the next one.

You were passing the ball with less than three minutes left. Less than two minutes left. Less than one minute left.

After passing it down to the one yard line with 30 seconds left, I sent you a message saying "ARE YOU KIDDING ME", which was sent at roughly the same time you sent me a message saying "care if i score?"

Now. I cannot presume to speak for anyone else, but I'd imagine when most people send a message saying ARE YOU KIDDING ME after a play like that they'd like you to not score.

So when you run it in anyway, I'm not going to sit here and let you patronize me. Who gives two shits if I'm "lethal"? You're leading by 28 points with 3 minutes left, run the god damn clock.

28 point lead, 3:30 left in the game, passing is not acceptable. Strike. That's your warning.
