Seahawks defeat Cowboys 24-10 in the rematch. Two early picks by Cutler set the tone early, both were nearly returned for pick 6's and the TDs came on the next play, both times.

Hauschka missed TWO field goals after being perfect all year. First one I didn't compensate for the wind enough, second one I think I was just lopsided on the stick and missed badly. I'm glad the missed kicks didn't end up affecting the outcome, I would have been pretty angry at myself.

Seahawks are 8-6 going into a CPU game vs. the Rams.

Well, managed to lose to the CPU Jags. At least I got another kick return for TD I guess, heh.

Benglas are 1 win from clinching a wildcard spot and possibly the division

I really hate fumbles in this game. They're not realistic...and they add nothing to the experience. I'd seriously rather turn them off (not possible...but if you want to measure true competition, they should be. Otherwise we're just playing "Random Bullshit Bowl 5000"). They have nothing to do with skill and just ruin what would otherwise have been a fair game. Titans fumble 3 times, one of them being basically a clean strip while I'm holding the right bumper that the Texans player just started running with the opposite direction. Meanwhile, the Titans DBs are dropping INTs with no one around them. Why do I play this ing game? I basically didn't make one mistake the entire game...and still lost. doc played very well...but every break went his way, so he won. His last pass to set up the game winning field goal also had no business being completed. My MLB was right there and fanned on it. Just seriously... this game, man. I'm so over it.

I will give him the game winning catch to set up the FG WAS total bs! The strip was clean an user controlled but it was weird how is just went straight to my guys left hand! Haha

Thanks for the kudos n8 awesome mistake free game on both our parts! JJ WATT with 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles which were recovered by the Titans sadly so luckily for N8 not everything entirely went my way!

CJ went off against me as he usually does our second game of the year!

Were all those fumbles by CJ? Did you not recover any of them?

It was worse because I was covering the ball...but your super LB just took it from Washington. Also, the 2nd fumble (on back to back plays) caused by Watt, Locker's arm was clearly going forward...but yeah, EA has no clue that that's a rule. Just two different teams, man. You were getting pressure rushing 3. I rush 5 and get nothing. I don't how the people get results with crappy teams in this game. It has to be that there are just "money" plays and adjustments...akin to nanos that people know to do to get the results they want.

There is no way in hell that people just straight up play the game and call plays, and make real life sensible moves, and win. It's just leveraging one video game-ism against another video game-ism (not saying that's what you did...your team is just clearly better than mine). In terms of skill, that was probably one of the most even games I've had...as we basically matched each other drive for drive.

But your guys made big plays when they needed to (both offensively and defensively)...and mine didn't. I just can't make sense of it, and trying to drives me nuts, man. I halfway want to leave my copy of Madden outside my apartment for a couple hours and hope somebody takes it. I need to go back to playing Dust now. At least that game makes sense.

No, two by Locker...that came on back to back plays with Houston rushing 3. Second one, as I said...was clearly a "Madden doesn't know arm moving forward isn't a fumble" though. The big one was on Nate Washington. After catching a pass to pick up a key 1st down, I just held RB and moved up waiting for him to be tackled. But he was kind of mobbed and held up, and then the LB just took the ball. It was a really weird animation...almost looked like an INT it was such a clean transfer of possession.

Either way N8 GG man! Best and closest game I had all year! More stress and fun then I've had in while! I would have Rage broken my controller on that last catch!

Yeah, gg. Like I said, you pretty much did everything right...and both offenses were very tactical, which made playing defense difficult. My close wins from the beginning of the season are all coming back to beat the shit out of me now. 2-5 in my last 7. I feel like I could easily be 3-11 at this point though. Really frustrating to feel like you've taken a step backward after investing so much time in the game.

everytime i fumble this is my exact thought


lol favorite show ever cant wait till they make the movie

It's not about outsmarting you opponent, it's about outsmarting Madden. Sad, but the truth behind it.

DVO's fumble GIF is how I feel everytime I throw an INT.

Bucs get creamed by the Packers 34-10, Freeman threw 5 INTs in this one and looked absolutely awful. I swear everytime I throw with him its either a drop by the WR's or the D is swarming them and get an easy INT, while my defense lollygags around the field giving WR's a ton of separation.

Nate, you wanna start an "EA s us over on a weekly basis" club?

You're late to the party. That club has been meeting on Fridays for the past 5 years (and I'm actually not joking about this...it's called the CAG Hockey Team, lol). I feel like we need to have a CAG Festivus in EA's (dis)honor. We'll start with the airing of grievances.

I think if we ever aired all of our grievances, it would be the following Friday again.

it would be really nice for EA to lose the rights to the nfl and for 2ksports to get it for a while or if the 2 companies worked together as one and made an amazing game.

Me too I have nfl 2k5 still and they have so many features on that game that maddens calls "new". For example they have refs on the field and aswell as a bunch of presentation they do way better on that game than this one and that game is from 05.

Sent a pm to colts owner either yesterday morning or Sunday (I deleted most of my sent pms so I don't know exact time I sent it), no response. He can play my CPU at this point, I can't play anymore. Or it can be simmed, either way.
