CAGiversary!
All right. We have advanced to Week 16. Getting close to playoff time! The deadline for this week will be 11/19 at 11:59PM ET.
Absolutely, man! We could use new members this year more than any other. Just familiar yourself with the rules and policies in the first post of this thread, and post your info whenever your system/game comes in. Welcome!Hey all, I Just ordered an XB1 and madden 16 which should both be here in a week or so. I'm down to join if you guys will still be playing after your championship round. Good luck to those in the playoffs!

Whoever played your CPU in the wild card game beat them. We just advanced to conference championships.Oh man Pittsburgh made the playoffs! Shit
Am I still alive? Cause I will find a way to get that game in tonight if need be. My broken thumb is healed up.
The biggest thing that bothered me was I was trying to not do the "lose my shit, rage quit, and come to the thread to freak out" thing (we've all been there, lol).Sorry you had to deal with the dumb stit, some people only care about winning not about the love of football. I just like the idea of the league. If people don't want to honor the code or rules there are plenty of other leagues that they can play in. I have been in a few different leagues but they all seem to fall apart.
I'm not sure how the league being on a total hiatus for 10 days would sit with people...but if nobody else wants it, then it's yours. I don't want to screw people over. I'm just not enjoying this game and I'm tired of making accommodations to make it less shitty. And if I'm being really honest, being a fan of a bad football team doesn't help. Football season ended for me in early October.I'll take over as commish but the offseason would need to start Dec 16.
Let me know what I have to do N8
I'm just exhausted with the thought process of "how can I trick the game into doing what I want it to do?" I can't run man defense to save my life. Maybe my DBs are just the worst...but every time I run man, somebody runs some kind of crossing pattern over the middle of the field and it murders my defense. So, then I try to find some magical combination between Cover 2 and Cover 3 that might put people in the proper places to break up this "money play". Then, that's when the HB screens start coming out.I didn't have any complaints about Energy Penguin spefifically, but a lot of this echoes the stuff I told Nate right after our regular season finale. Despite going 13-3, this has easily been the least fun I've ever had with Madden and playing just 1 game every 4 days has felt like a chore. The game is poorly designed. EA has done the unthinkable and really turned me off from sports games in general after multiple decades of playing them.
Oh, definitely. I mean...in a way, that goes hand in hand. Not caring if you win is a key component to avoiding "win at all costs" behavior. I just don't get it. I've never had a problem with Energy Penguin before. He's never gotten a strike. But he can't keep the game paused and talk through it with me? I even thought "Maybe he'll pause the game himself after he saw I sent him another message." Nope...just kept on playing. Winning was that important, I guess.I definitely agree with some of those points. I think I don't let it bother me as much because I really just don't care if I win. I like the whole managing a team concept more than playing but I just enjoy the gentleman style of play that you guys offer.
Also I can Commish the league until LV gets back. I have a very open schedule. Just let me know.
Me? No, that's not fair to everybody else. Wait till you've been commish for a while and everybody starts thinking you're trying to rig things in your favor, lol. I don't want anything to give appearances of me throwing a hissy fit just to get my way. And at the end of the day, my enjoyment of Madden is what it is.Maybe you should just play the CPU. Making the Super Bowl and possibly winning it may sway your opinion toward the league.
In the 100+ league games I've played, no one has ever mentioned that I "quick snap" I don't even know what to do with that criticism. So I started giving you 10 secs per play to adjust your D.
I wasn't being cheap, that's how I've always played and, again, no complaints. You were not giving much time at the line either.
I have also never played with someone that pauses so much. Just play the game.
Why are you pausing to ask what play I called? It was the most straight forward play in the book. Watch the nfl, many teams, Eagles and Pats included, run shotgun near the goal line. Not cheap.
Then you rage quit. Fine. I've got too much other stuff going on to play in a league with a commissioner like that. You were getting beat. It happens to all of us. No need to to rage out about it. I expect that in online head-to-head not league games. Either way, it became obvious that this is not the league for me. I am a fair player and have never heard complaints in the other leagues I have played in or anyone I have played in this league. Sorry if you felt it was cheap. I was just playing. Have you ever wondered why this league is so dead?
Anyway best of luck to all of you with this league.
(I'm going to put this in spoiler tags because it's lengthy and I'm sure there are many who don't give a shit and don't want to see it. But dare I say...it's good bathroom reading )Furthermore, you threw two picks in less than a half, which I capitalized on. You losing had more to do with your poor play than anything else. You calling me exploitative is disingenuous. And every extra point I kicked you got a false start for running your guy half way down the field. Even the first one. That's just unsportsmanlike and, frankly, immature.
