CAG League Sports: Madden 12 "JV League" - We Finished 3 Seasons! Thanks Everybody!!!

[quote name='Yanksfan']Great way to kick off the playoffs guys. If Carolina wins, then I will face them. If GB wins, then we get a rematch Blade. I am not looking forward to that.

I hope some of the other games can be played today. I am pumped to see how they play out.[/QUOTE]

At this point I am worried about whoever I have to face, I been making adjustments, and hopefully have improved some though. I am excited about this playoff race, and glad I made it to the next round!

Yea, it seems as if you have developed your passing game quite a bit from the start of the year. Got a top notch run game and a passing game to help take pressure off of it.
 
[quote name='Matt Young']Kaster, it looks like we do battle in round #1. It'll be nice to play something with you again.[/QUOTE]

I'm scheduled to play the Colts, apparently. Although since I lost to the Pats, I should be playing you. Oh, Madden, how sensible thou art.

EDIT: Can someone either PM G33 or can Nate assign a sub for Indy? I'm on my phone and I've got class late tonight.

[quote name='pitfallharry219']I'll say this right now: I've put a lot of effort into improving and playing well this season. I will be PISSED if I lose due to some bullshit cheesing from a guy who doesn't even deserve to be in the playoffs.[/QUOTE]

I guess the bullshit cheeser is me the one that got shut out last week you should send a pm to n8 and ask him what plays he called because they worked. Also as for the i didnt deserve because I had 3 sim wins people forget that I had 4 sim/games I didnt have the team loses.

Anyways you have a pm about what times we can play.

I don't see how the Broncos were always ahead of me, I had a better record then them, and I beat them. I just wanted to break into the top 5 lol.

I know. That's why I wanted to address it personally...since I was the one who had issues with your play style in the past. As we've discussed several times in this thread though, the only reason scrambling QB's could be thought of as "cheap" is because of how the AI reacts to them (taking bad angles, getting pulled out of coverage, etc). Even you have to admit, if I had just straight up called plays without making any pre-snap adjustments, Newton would have had a field day. That was the difference between our first and second game. I've learned the controls for pre-snap adjustments.

As for the simmed games, it is what it is. But there's no reason for people to be missing 2-3 games next season. In all honesty, the Steelers are another team who benefited from a few sim wins and might have made the playoffs because of it. Maybe, maybe not. But next season, I don't want us to have to question it either way. I think the 3 game policy is fair, and I really don't know why anyone would be concerned about it unless they were planning on disappearing for 3 games. Like I said, if people play their games, the rule will be a non-issue.

Please?

It's probably up to Nate who takes over the Colts here, but I'm available tonight after 11:30 EST (possibly earlier depending on when my class lets out... I'm playing my official league game at 10:30) and tomorrow night after 10 or so. I'm not available Saturday at all. So if we could please straighten this out ASAP, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Might as well let Dark Rider sub, I guess. I doubt G33 would mind since it's his secondary team and he's leaving the league anyway.
 
i know its playoff time but just got a few questions about the draft how long will the rounds be so we can plan how long to talk about who we want in the draft on traded picks and also when are we allowed to start posting trades for next season for the guys that arent in the playoffs would u prefer after the super bowl or post them now and get the offical word after the superbowl or however u want to do it
 
DocB and I would like to get opinions on a pick trade, if everyone approves just lock it in for the draft.

Lions (10-6) send 1st and 5th round picks for Texans (5-11) 2 2nd round picks (Texans and Lions).

DocB and i also have a trade
cowboys send Foster back to the texans
for
texans first round pick and the cowboys first round pick back to them
 
Ok guys, THE CHIEFS WILL BE BACK AND ABLE TO PLAY LATE SUNDAY PST

Depending on who I play that may not be possible for them.

So, WHOEVER PLAYS THE CHIEFS AFTER THE FIRST PLAYOFF WEEK, don't freak out if you can't contact me. I'll be available on CAG during the whole day monday and can play all night after 4:30 pm PST Monday.

Thanks guys, and good luck in the playoffs!

This seems a tad silly, but I guess it evens out?

I never saw the original trade

I also recomend anyone posting Draft Pick for Draft Pick trades add the team's records,

For example Chiefs (11-5) trade their first round pick to Oakland (?-?) for its 2nd 3rd and 4th

Because that's the biggest determining factor in those kind of trades. A random 2nd and 2nd for a random 1st and fifth doesn't do much in the way of explaining the trade. Unless everyone has every team's record memorized?

I honestly hope that no one in this thread considers scrambling quarterbacks "Cheesing". It's a time honored Madden tradition and is so easliy countered that it is laughable to think anyone could consider it unfair.

Ok, caught up for the day. Hope I didn't bury my playoff post too much.

For almost every offensive play call there is a defensive counter....i said most* referring to glitches.
 
Kind of funny, I thought I quoted n8 not Widow, o yea I DID.

No idea what you are refering to above patty

Careful not to misread my post. I said the ONLY reason it could be considered cheesing is due to how EA programs the AI to react (and they're terrible...I'm sorry, they just are). But that same statement could be made about a lot of things in the game. If you're going to tell someone not to scramble with their QB, you might as well disallow HB screens, ballhawking LBs, etc.

My opinion is just that those are plays that require more than a base knowledge of Madden to be able to stop because stopping them is more about what you do and not what the game does. It becomes more than just calling the right play, but reading formations, hot routing, audibling, etc. And those are skills that take a lot of time and practice to get comfortable with. And once you're good enough at it, even if something IS "cheesy", you can stop it anyway. That's all I was saying.

The trade ORIGINALLY OFFERED was the Cowboys wanted to give Dez Bryan (ovr 81, A) and a 2nd round pick to the Texans for Arrion Foster. The league would only approve the trade for a First round pick. DVO reluctantly went through with the trade.

Now he is offering Foster back to the Texans who have 2 first round picks (Texans and Cowboys). So he gets his pick back plus mine for Foster who is a 94 and an A.
 
[quote name='KasterDB']Hey Dark Rider, you free tonight or tomorrow night?[/QUOTE]

I am free anytime tonight. Why?

Edit: just looked back and saw that Comish wants me to play the IND game. I guess this is fine, but isnt that G33's team?

Gotcha n8. And yea, I agree with this.

If you're okay with this, of course.
 
[quote name='Dark Rider']Yeah I am fine. When do you want to play?[/QUOTE]

Well, that depends. My other league game is 10:30 est tonight, so depending on when class ends I could do it before. Otherwise it'd have to be afterwards, or tomorrow night.

I don't want to play later then 10:30. So if we could get it done earlier that would be great. If not, I am available almost all of tomorrow.

Looks fine to me. I have no idea what the trade approval process is like in this league, but if it's majority, I give it the thumbs up.
 
[quote name='CAGLeagueSports']In the wild AFC North, the Steelers ended up coming out on top. And with 4 straight wins to end the season, the Colts stole the AFC South from Jacksonville...so uh, G33, we still need you, man.[/QUOTE]

That division must be terrible or secondary sims are too strong, seeing as how I won one game all season as the Colts. Too much trying new things when I had a lead, and then snowballing the wrong way. I'd offer them to someone to play as them since they are a sub, but it looks like that's already done.
 
BrownWing with 5 wins as Tennessee, but beat me all three times he subbed against me. I dunno. Dude is my kryptonite, haha.

Indeed. I just won with them.

20 - Colts
10 - Broncos

Great game Kaster. I feel really bad about being a sub and knocking you out of the playoffs, but great game. Both teams had a great game, but I think it just came down to possession time.

So on that note, would anyone have any problems with me finishing the playoffs with the Colts?
 
No problem for me. Sucks for Kaster, who had a great season. It will be interesting to see if DR can pull off a Giants type run here.
 
The only person who should care if you play as the Colts for the rest of the playoffs is their secondary owner, and I'm fine with you taking over for them.

The only reason they were offered up is because you had already said you were leaving the league and Kaster needed to get the game in soon. I think most everybody expected the Jags to win that division, but I guess teh Colts 4 straight wins at the end put them on top. Hope there's no hard feelings. Like I said, just wanted to make sure Kaster had time to get the game played.

Great! Thanks for letting me have your team. I only took the sub because I thought you were quitting the league, but I do hope you come back.

Also, just wanted to apologized for exploding a few weeks ago. It was not directed at you. It was much more of the fact that I had built up so much tension after repeated losses that I had to let some out.

I am looking forward to playing more with the Colts. And Yanksfan, I hope I don't make a Super Bowl run, I don't deserve a SB run if I didn't acctually make the playoffs. Hovever, I will play my best football and we will see where that leads me.

If you beat all the playoff teams in front of you..hard to say you don't deserve it. ;)
 
Well, I was hoping to get my game played this morning. Tanabeo sent me a PM about a time I could work around his crazy schedule. I told him I could play this morning, and I've heard nothing back. I saw he was on Live playing a game a little bit ago. I sent him a message, but he's not answered.

edit - Now I see why he didn't answer. The 360 says he's been away for 5 hours. That didn't show up on xbox.com.

Yeah, let's not fly off at the handle here. You can't really just assume sarcasm on a message board. I wasn't 100% sure about the tone of his post, but that's why I just asked. No reason for anybody to be upset here. Moving on.
