[quote name='SoulReaver']Week 6 finished for me.

Eagles- 28
Panthers- 7


Nice try man, I started getting worried when I kept throwing picks.[/QUOTE]


Couldnt get anything going. Good defense.
 
I have a question, n8.
Me and matt young were supposed to play last week and never got to it.
You gave him the gimme win, so can we play this week to get a real result?
 
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is allowed. You and I were in contact but couldn't manage to get on at the same time since we both had stuff to do, so I'm all for making up the game.

Azu PM'ed me and suggested a Thursday game, so hopefully he and I can get that done, too.
 
Well, I'm possibly playing Azu and a guy in the NBA 2K9 league that night, but haven't scheduled anything definite yet. When would you be available? I can play till 8 Eastern time (starting the game) or after midnight Eastern.
 
Steelers - 21
Raiders - 10

That has got to be the worse collapse I have possibly endured. Threw an INT with 3min left in the 4th quarter when I had the lead. Steelers make a drive, score a TD with about :39 to go. Kickoff, Higgins returns... fumbles, REED! (the KICKER) picks it up and scores. WTF

GG... fuck QB sneaks.

honestly i was so pissed at myself when i threw i think it was my 2nd pick right before half and couldnt get another score in. then i fumble on a 25yrd play mounting a drive, so pissed again. the kickoff at the end was ridiculous with reed picking it up.

gg though
 
[quote name='neworlbush25']I will be available at 7 est on thursday[/QUOTE]

Okay. I should be able to play then. If not, 8 Eastern at the latest for sure.

I was pissed. I didn't want to run because both of our run D's were friggin stacked, but I dunno what happened. I thought my guy was going to run a different route and it ended up in your hands. arhhgahskgrh My picks were cllleeaaan, and that fumble was awesome. It looked like you threw it to your TE only because I was covering him. He caught it, but then got owned with a MAD hit stick. Haha. My receivers had too many drop balls. I would see them wide open on a slant or post, and they'd drop it. Whenever Big Ben rolled out of the pocket, I swear, those catches were just omgwtflucky. That pissed me off too. I got lucky, you got lucky. mehhh, turned out to be a solid game. =p
 
Week 6
Packers - 28
Titans - 14

gg to IvanHood. The game was MUCH closer than the final score showed. He was actually up 14-0 to start off after I threw a pick 6, but I managed to get my defense in check and played solid the rest of the game. I tacked on a TD in garbage time but it was extremely close until the very end.

Yeah, that's totally fine (it's actually addressed under the "Gimme Wins" section of the OP too for future reference). The main reason I'm assigning wins is just in case anybody gets lazy, the rest of the league won't suffer. Records will always be up to date with the current week, but it is in the best interest of BOTH teams to make up the game.
 
WEEK 6

PATRIOTS - 24
COLTS - 14

Good game, jlarlee. Indy couldn't stop the run for anything. There was a TD pass to Moss in the 2nd qtr that was a result of me switching to the wrong defensive player during the play and not realizing it until Moss was wide open. I meant to switch to one of the blitzers, but that didn't work out right. It was 17-7 at the start of the 4th. I scored to make it 17-14, and then stopped him on his next drive. With a little under 3:00 minutes left, I was driving down the field when a tipped pass got intercepted. It was pretty much over after that.

Colts are 3-3 now.
 
Week 6 Pats/Colts

24-14 Pats
Extremely Close game I was up 17-14 and Pit was driving on me he had his offense going nice. Than the Madden gods handed me the game. Adalious Thomas made a ridiculous one handed back hand interception and I had a clear field for 6. No turnovers until that point I just lucked out good game Pitfall just as easily could have been me losing. Also I think they upgraded Cassell I have never see him throw a nice deep ball like he did twice in this game.

Yea I threw that cause the safety blitzed.We have all made the switching mistake it sux.They should have two different switching button or something. Although to be honest I think Moss catches that anyway I like his chances one on one. ALthough you may have tackled me which would have ran the clock out

Man, sounds like you guys had an awesome game. I HATE the switching problem in this game. How difficult is it to have you switch to the man closest to the ball? You'd think that woudl be a no brainer. I've had my DB dive out of bounds at nobody because of that stupid crap, lol. I guess the scary part of it is, it forces you to trust your AI teammates to make plays until you're certain it'll switch you to the right guy.
 
Packers 28 - Titans 14

BigAT and I had a good game. Like he said, I had a pretty good game going during the first half. Then he really got it together, I made some really stupid decisions, and the rest is CAG Madden history!
 
Azumangaman- We were supposed to play at 7 Eastern. If we don't start soon I won't have time to play before my game with neworlbush25.
 
I messed up. I was busy working away then I saw the clock.
I'll be on XBL for a bit, if we don't play tonight + don't play by the deadline, give Matt the gimmie win until we play.
 
[quote name='neworlbush25']Its alright if me and matt cant play because I got gears of war 2 that I am dieing to put in my xbox.[/QUOTE]

Well, shit. I wish I would have known this earlier. I went from playing both my unplayed games tonight to none. I am not sure when I'll be available over the next 3 days due to it ebing the weekend, so if the games aren't played, don't hold it against me, Nate.
 
I could have still played but you didnt accept my friend request nor respond to my message on xbox.
I was just saying if you and azu played, then i knew that you couldnt play again tonight so i would play gears.
Sorry about this
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']Its true.
Hold it against me 100%.
Sorry again Matt.
If you can play late tonight, PM me.[/QUOTE]

No, I didn't mean it like that. It's just that you either forgot or got preoccupied, and then neworlbush canceled saying he was going to play Gears but wasn't even on Xbox Live at all. That, combined with an irritating phone conversation unrelated to gaming, got me very frustrated.

Azu didn't show up at 7 Eastern. I waited and then got off Live at 7:20 Eastern. He messaged me about 10-15 minutes after that on CAG, but I didn't get back on CAG until 8 Eastern when I was scheduled to play you. That's when I saw your post which I replied to.

I saw your message on Xbox Live (which was sent around 7:45 Eastern) after responding to your post here so I didn't think it was necessary to respond on Live as well. You weren't online anyway. I stayed on playing Saints Row 2 until 9 Eastern. I checked your profile every 5 minutes or so. You never signed on to Live. It's not possible to send me a friend request since my list is full.
 
well
1. I wasent going to get on live if you werent on, and i didnt have a way of knowing. I was checking my xbox.com profile messages about every 5 minutes or so, so in can you messaged me.
2. You have been saying over the past couple days that you couldnt play after 8 or 8:15, so I wasent expecting you on.

If you have any free time this weekend we can get our game in. Ill be avaiable mostly saturday, and early Sunday
 
[quote name='neworlbush25']well

2. You have been saying over the past couple days that you couldnt play after 8 or 8:15, so I wasent expecting you on.

[/QUOTE]

I know that. What I said was that the reason you gave for canceling our game that was scheduled for 8 Eastern was that you wanted to play Gears of War 2. I was on from 8-9 Eastern and you weren't on playing Gears, meaning you could have played our game at the scheduled time.
 
Sadly, our thread has drifted to the 2nd page of the 360 forum, so it's a good thing I'm bumping it with the upcoming schedule for this week. HOWEVER, only half the games for this past week have been played. Come on guys. This is a really poor showing. I know why a couple of the games didn't get played, but some of you still don't seem to be putting forth much effort. I need you to pick it up.

This doesn't even speak for the games from past weeks that still need to be played. If you let it pile up, it's going to become even harder to catch up, and then we'll have the same problem Azu's league, and Jagged's before that, had. This is football. Show me some hussle guys!
 
n8rockerasu, wanderlai, I still haven't got my 360 back from repair yet and they haven't given me an estimate on the return date. Stupid 360 repair centers.

You can check your repair status online. When I sent mine in about a month ago I think it took about 10 days roundtrip. They should keep you fairly up to date. You'll get an email with UPS tracking when they send it back out.
 
Good to know, the group at the 1-800 number never told me about any of that. Still havent received the UPS information yet so it hasn't been sent back.
 
Vikings 7
Packers 14

Terrific game!
Easily my best yet. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to tying. A stupid penalty cost me the game I *should've* won. BigAT = CAN'T WAIT FOR OUR REMATCH!

Yep, very fun game. Closer than I would've hoped, but I managed to juke my way to victory.

Oh yes, BigAT is the JUKEMASTER OF DEATH.
Just so everybody is aware.
 
Alright guys sorry i have been falling behind a little bit, football was taking over my life. But that weight was recently lifted off my shoudler, we lost 27-21 in the sectional final in a heartbreaker. Too bad, but it was getting tiring.

So from now on I will be available from like 3pm est on every night.

Matt Young and intslin we need to play games
 
Bumping this thread to let everybody know I'm officially done with this game. I'm sick of playing every game in the snow. I'm sick of being the victim of kickoff fumbles. I'm sick of button lag sacks. I'm sick of having a good game going, then getting disconnected, and then getting IMMEDIATELY fucked over on the restart. I haven't enjoyed a game in over 3 weeks. I'm just done.

I've got a couple games on pre-order this week, and I'd rather have the $30 trade in credit, and be rid of this pile of junk. The only reason I play this game anymore is because of these leagues, and that's not even a good enough reason now. Again, sorry to everybody involved, but I need the money, and I have truly grown to hate this game down to its core. If you guys want, keep playing. Let somebody else take over the league. I just don't have the patience or energy for this shit anymore.

Best of luck
N8
 
[quote name='jp0213']That really sucks man, but I do understand the frustration.[/quote]

Like I said, you guys keep playing. You don't need me. I just seriously feel my blood pressure shoot up every time I play this game. It's ridiculous that it bothers me this much, but it does. Most of the time, I don't even feel like I lose because the other person is awesome or because I did something stupid. Most of the time, it's stuff I have no control over (ie. weather, fumbles, injuries). It's just not fun anymore.

You gotta stop using the bills. Edwards is horrible
 
[quote name='jlarlee']You gotta stop using the bills. Edwards is horrible[/quote]

Edwards didn't fumble on the kickoff. I promise you, if the game hadn't started lagging like a bitch that first time, I would have scored. I had a nice little groove going, and then Madden just happens to me (I'm forever replacing the word "shit" with "Madden" in my vocabulary now. Ex: "I ate some Taco Bell earlier, and now I have to take a huge Madden").

There's just too much bad luck in this game. Too many external factors that take away from who is better than who. I understand this stuff happens in real life, but nowhere near at the frequency at which it does in this game. You told me yourself you think it makes the game more "exciting". Do you know what the basis of "exciting" sports games is? Arcade style. I want a straight simulation. Simple as that. In my opinion, this is the least realistic Madden in years.

So that whole dedication and commitment thing you pushed so hard early on...was that expected from everyone that signed up but you?
 
[quote name='BigAT']So that whole dedication and commitment thing you pushed so hard early on...was that expected from everyone that signed up but you?[/quote]

Yeah, let's look at how that's gone. Go look at how many unplayed games there are, and then get back to me. I've busted my ass and begged people to play all their games, and I just don't have the energy to do it anymore...not for a game I don't even enjoy anyway. And like I said, I need the money. You wanna send me $40? I'll keep running the league. Or better yet, why don't you run it?

So Mr high and mighty calls me a punk for trading in my copy......wow...at least I didn't start a league......

EDIT - No,you know what...it's not worth saying it. I'm relegating myself to being a CAG lurker. It's not worth being involved anymore. I've got more important things going on in my real life to deal with. I don't have to explain myself.
 
Hey guys, please don't turn this into a "bash n8rockerasu" thread. I'm not trying to take any sides, either, because the people bashing him, I either don't even know (BigAT) so I have no problem with, or am acquainted with and like (moonknight). But Nate's a good guy. It sucks that the league is folding, but there's no need for fighting.
