CAGLS: Madden 13 Gentlemen's League - We Finished! Thanks for Playing!

[quote name='bvharris']Ask them to wait for the offseason I guess. You can still change your playbook prior to a game, so the only thing completely switching it would allow you to do was practice with the new playbook.[/QUOTE]

Well, except that injuries are supposed to span from one season into the next. My God, what a clusterfuck, lol.
 
[quote name='Docb9110']So I take it NO ONE is interested in Arian Foster?[/QUOTE]

I am but I don't know if I have what you'd be looking for.
 
[quote name='shotgunshine']Sent GibsonGamer a message yesterday and still nothing.[/QUOTE]

PM Flyersfan and see if he can play today or tomorrow. Whoever gets back to you first gets it, lol.
 
i just had a game online i was the vikings and he was the cowboys i ran for 266 yards with 10 att safe to say thats the best i every ran the ball.
 
The current CCM roster has a healthy Revis on it, but the Eagles would lose Jason Peters and the Patriots would lose Jeff Demps (actually, maybe restarting is a good idea lmao)
 
I sent Flyersfan a pm.


Can anyone here answer my question I asked the other day. When i'm doing connected careers mode(offline only) the camera is set at zoom or whatever the default one is. I'll switch it to wide, then after the play is done it defaults back to zoom. It does this every single time. I'm assuming its just one of the many bugs in this game but wanted to make sure.

I don't know. It would suck to force anybody to lose a player..especially when the alternative is people GAINING players. I'm hoping that once we get this GibsonGamer issue straightened out, we wont be having people drop for awhile. We'd have no one on the waiting list...so as I said before, even if people aren't able to play every game, just don't drop, and we'll be ok. Or at the very least, only replace people between seasons. I just really hate not being able to control pre-existing injuries. Such a botch job on EA's part.

If Demps is no big loss my trade interest still stands ;)

pm me what you would give up for him then.
 
[quote name='jza1218']No, that's what you'd give up to have EA make competent games.[/QUOTE]

Both nuts
 
[quote name='shotgunshine']What are you looking for?[/QUOTE]

JZA and Shogun,

Sorry guys! I just got back to reading this morning! I have had a few offers so far. In the original post I said thatI simply just feel clunky and awkward running with Foster. I like to have a back with alot of speed and elusiveness. I cant pound the ball like some of you guys can and Foster while he is fast, I can never get a good run with him. Best run so far is I think like 4 yards. Im looking for A potential for A potential so I we both get immediate returns on the trade. Not something down the road and I didnt really make that clear out of the gate! All the offers I have gotten so far seem fair

3 offers so far, willing to hear more!
 
I got back to Shotgunshine Nate so do you need to invite me or is this like NHL where I have to ask to join? I know you're moving so I'm not even sure if you are still the commish or if someone is the acting commish until you're settled in.
 
Me and Flyersfan are scheduled to play at 10pm E.T. I know your busy Nate so if you can't add him before then, just let me know and I can play the cpu.

I should be able to invite you in a couple hours. We've just been going back and forth between the two apartments today moving small stuff and getting things ready for the movers tomorrow. I'm hoping I'll get a bit of time this evening to relax and catch up with league stuff though. Fortunately, I poured enough coffee into my skull this morning to handle all of this, lol.

Take your time man, I know the moving game all too well.

There are no more "potentials"...
 
[quote name='hammurabi1337']Cardinals Seahawks just wrapped up.

24-14 Seattle, that score makes it look a lot closer than it was.[/QUOTE]

Seahawks won solely on turnovers. I had ~200yds of offense, only put together good drives when I had great field position, but it turned out just fine. A couple of late TDs did bring the score closer.

I can't run at all :( Oh well. Lucked out this time with the turnovers, so few yards won't work next time!

GG.
 
[quote name='Lexxon']I can't run at all :( Oh well. Lucked out this time with the turnovers, so few yards won't work next time![/QUOTE]

It took me a lot of games to learn how to run the ball effectively. Obviously, it helps if you have a fast running back. But it also seems like there are certain plays that just work better than others. To me, that seems like the main factor in determining how well your o-line plays...rather than their actual ability.

But that's assuming that you play the game right...and don't just use a speed back to run laterally/backward around defenders who are completely unblocked because they're stupid and take poor angles. But yeah, learning to run the ball like a real football team takes a good amount of practice and tinkering.

[/QUOTE]

And that's not even counting the five fumbles I got back. Skelton is being replaced as soon as possible.
 
[quote name='lyric706']Can't get a definite time from Lions owner. If you are reading the thread, I can do late tonight. If not, can anyone sub?[/QUOTE]

No more subbing. People would have to retire their coach to do it...and it also triggers a glitch that resets all injuries (not an issue right now since we just had to replace an owner, but the first point still applies). Speak up if you need him switched to auto pilot.
 
[quote name='lyric706']Ahhh. What's protocol then? CPU?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, whoever has made the effort to get the game played needs to let me know so I can put the other person on auto pilot. You can't play the CPU unless I do that (or if your opponent does it himself).
 
And I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but I've sent invites and he's gone offline or disappeared. But I've got a job and need to be up at 5:30-6am every morning, I'm not going to screw up my real life because the earliest time he can play thus far is 11pm. That's just ridiculous.

If you wait till 10 am tomorrow or noon to advance it, maybe he'll be able to get on in the morning since its the weekend but I just don't expect anything other than another late night offer.

Guess it will have to be simmed then. 4 days is plenty to get a game played. If you're both going to point the finger at each other, then there's nothing I can do. For anyone who has bothered to follow the thread, I'm moving this weekend, so I won't be available to advance the league tomorrow. Imagine, people have real life things going on in the midst of playing or even running a league? That's just kooky!
 
I've been waiting a half hour for the Colts owner to show up for our 9:30 game. Just sim it, I guess. I don't feel like sitting around on a Friday night hoping someone will show up.

I get it. You're new in the league, but you've really got to step up your communication skills. I sent you a PM on Tuesday asking when you were available. You never answered me. You just announced to the thread that you'd play your game "tomorrow". Then, out of the blue, you pm me at 12:01 am yesterday saying you were ready to play. I pm'ed you back later yesterday to actually set a time, which we agreed on 9:30, and now you've not shown up for that.
 
I have a job, as well. And a wife. And two toddlers. I also just bought a second home and am renting out my first. So yes, everyone has real life priorities. I have been the proactive one in scheduling this match. Heck, you even admitted you thought you were matched up with someone else when I first contacted you! I played all three seasons in this league last year, an I think those players will tell you I always have been proactive in getting games scheduled and played.

All that said, just sim it.
 
And there are several players on here who need to schedule these games. You can't just go, "Let's play now!" and expect the other guy to be available.
 
Good game Flyersfan.


The San Diego Chargers win there season opener against the Oakland Raiders 28-13

Phillip Rivers was 4-6, 74 yards, with one touchdown

Ryan Matthews had 96 yards on 13 carries with one touchdown

Quentin Jammer and Shaun Phillips each got an interception that was returned for a touchdown.

Orenthal Ransofaraway is your new Oakland Raiders coach.

GG shotgun. maybe I'm not used to it since that was my first game, but I had a lot of dropped passes. Is that an issue this year or was I doing something like running before the ball was securely catched?

Yeah, that happens sometimes when im playing my offline connected career. That one you had I think late in the second was brutal...nobody was near you it was a guaranteed touchdown and your guy just dropped it.
 
Panthers 35 Bucs 17. I threw 4 picks with Freeman, 2 of them pick 6's. Not a great first start but at least we got our game in (very minimal lag this time!).
