No, looking back at how I worded it I can see how you came to that conclusion. No problem man.

That PS4 shit they announced where you can stream what you're playing to your friends, that sounds like what we need for Madden games.

I don't want anyone else to see how I play Madden. It's bad enough already

Bengals and Browns game will be played friday 530 central.

if the bengals win out the rest of the season they would win a wildcard spot also possibly win there division my last 4 games 3 of them being division games. i just hope if i do make the playoffs i dont face the titans last time didnt go so well for the bengals.

Ravens vs 49ers scheduled for Thursday at 6:30 EST.

Unless he was winning 20-3, and then you scored in the 4th (at which point, he'd be fine to up the pressure again), this game really isn't similar to the situation we just had. I definitely appreciate the report that you felt the game was respectfully played, but we should be careful comparing two different situations so we don't end up confusing people even more.

Yeah, sorry, I should have clarified. It was 20-3 for a good chunk of the 4th, I scored a TD with a little over a minute left.

i think a 21 point lead in the fourth is pretty solid lead in the 4th quarter and is time to run the ball only unless of course of a 3rd and long (3rd down 6 yards or more). if i was in the position of a 3rd and long then i would pass and only go for the first down and only the first down once i get the first down dive and then continue to run. the reason i would consider it ok to pass in that situation in my own opinion is because i want the first down to run the clock out more. but even on a 3rd and long and the right situation i might even come out and run depending on the defense's setup and my trust in making a 3rd and long.

That's how i've always played and i've had 7 seasons in the official league and i believe 5 seasons in this league and i have never had a complaint on me that i know of on my playing style or anything like that. which i hope i never do becuz i try my hardest to play good clean game of madden with every person i play.

Lets not do this...because that is not the policy. I'm not saying it would be a horrible offence in that specific instance, but the problem is people start applying it more liberally and it gets out of hand, and is near impossible to separate a "really bad offence" from a "kind of bad offence". It's easier to just say "Hey...being forced to punt with a 21 point lead and less than 5 minutes to play isn't the end of the world". When it turns into "I just wanted to keep the clock moving", it gets really, really messy...and I'm not interested in sifting through that.

Not to mention if you don't complete the pass...you've now just stopped the clock with a 21 point lead (which is dumb on your part). And if you do break a big play and then dive on the field to avoid scoring...it's just making the game even more awkward. Punting the ball is not that distasteful. I'm starting to feel like I need to be a kindergarten teacher about it. "Ok, class. We're going to play a game. If you have a 3 score lead in the 4th quarter, lets see if you can finish the game without passing the ball! Ooooooooh!!! I bet you can't do it!" Just think of it as defensive practice. If your opponent scores, then guess what...you get to throw again. It's not that complicated.

lol i loved the kindergarten comment. but i can see ur point and that my situation i used is more of a grey area u dont want to bother with and keep it black and white which makes complete sense. by running the ball u either kill the clock or they call timeouts and if u end up with the ball again then u just get the kill the clock the next time again.

Yup. That's basically the only way I can see to keep it cut and dry. Otherwise, it's "This person did this." and "Well, he did that." and "Stop pulling your sister's hair." and all that.

hey i just wanted to make a post about my game against the redskins. I stopped the redskins on the goal line, I understand why he went with it, just wanted to let him know that you should always pause and let them know that your going for it.I knew the second that field goal didn't popup right away that he would go for it. I ran it out to the 5 yard line. Since it was under two minutes I quickly went to the no huddle (down by 4 at this point in the game) and did the quick audible to quick pass. and it did a play action pass....Has anyone else had this happen? why they would default to a PA when im sitting there in my end zone is beyond me. My plan was to try a quick pass, if it fails then go with a power/counter/iso to drain down more clock and most likely punt. Just was curious if anyone else found this ( i could have selected the wrong thing, wouldnt have been the first time) and also to warn anyone else about it! Joey definitely earned that win but that safety was super frustrating and definitely was the turning point in the game (resulted in 9 extra points before half)

The quick pass audible in a goal line formation is a PA

depending on the formation the only pass play might have been play action.

Ravens beat 49ers 31-7. I really didn't expect this at all seeing Blades defensive stats. Last I saw he had allowed a ridiculously low number of points on defense this season. I got out to a quick start with Newton throwing an interception to Ed Reed on the first drive of the game. That led to a nice scoring drive and it was mostly all Ravens the rest of the way. I played it safe this game and didn't make any stupid throws like I've made the past 2 weeks. Only had 1 turnover and it was on a fumble by my running back in the 4th quarter. I tried my best to control the clock and it payed off with a 12:14 possession time. I can't say for sure, but I would guess playing from behind threw off Blade's game a bit and never really got into a rhythm. Good game despite what the score shows.

Also wanted to say that my 4th quarter score was on a toss play to Stephens-Howling that I took 80 yards for the score. For some reason Madden decided to count it as a pass. Pretty sure I didn't attempt a single pass in the 4th quarter.

Yeah. I am pretty sure there are no goal line pass plays that don't include play action. If you want a goal line play that isn't play action, you have to hot route your running back.

Great game, that pick in the red zone on my first drive really set the game. Your defense was playing really well, and I couldn't stop your passing game. I couldn't set up any form of a running game, and I feel like that made a big difference. I felt like my defense really didn't even show up, they made horrible plays. I rely a lot of my defense getting the ball back or stopping the drive, and that just didn't happen at all. I also hate when you hit Y as a defensive player to set up a pick or blocked pass, and instead they just stop dead in there tracks. That happened on the majority of the big plays you had which was really pissing me off. Also, I was making a good drive down the field and threw a pick again right before the 2nd half. Every time I attempted a deep pass INT not even a blocked pass, though I was trying not to throw them much.

I'm trying to decipher this, but it's not terribly easy. He went for a 4th and inches at the goalline late in the 2nd quarter and you stopped him? Why does he need to pause and tell you? If you hadn't already picked your defensive play...you would know he was going for it. Sounds like you were just rushing a bit at the end of the half.

Man the AFC is looking like the strong conference right now.

Yeah, I saw your defensive player just stop after you took control on a short touchdown pass early in the game. That's happened to me too many times. I mostly stay away from trying to take control of a guy so he can get a big hit or maybe a pick. I get burned too often and a user player can be tricked by moves that the CPU rarely falls for. My secondary played well and actually dropped a number of picks late in the game. They were probably on a hot streak after a good performance against Cleveland last week and having to abandon your run game didn't help your chances against them.
