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

Mandy Voluptuous and the Vikings head to Chicago for a big divisional matchup against 7-3 Chicago, to get above .500!
 
Browns beat the Steelers 21-14. Went up 21-0 early but he chipped away at the lead and had me terrified the whole fourth quarter. TJ Ward had a huge interception late in the game in his first game back from his injury. Brady had three touchdowns. Ben Watson had 2 catches for 12 yards, both touchdowns.
 
[quote name='KasterDB']Was up 31-7 midway thru the 3rd, connection craps out between pitfall and I; playing the CPU now.[/QUOTE]

So many interceptions. My guy would be WIDE open, and I'd throw it, thinking that it was the safest pass in the world, and then here would come a white blaze and snatch the ball out of the air. Yeesh.

Also, is the challenge system completely broken this year? Every time I pause and want to challenge a play, there's no option to choose. Sometimes, the little "Press LT to challenge" thing will pop up, and I press it and nothing happens, but then a second later it'll go to a booth review like it was inside of two minutes.

I think they implemented the NFL rule of auto-reviewing turnovers, but I guess they refuse to let you user challenge on turnovers

The way I've found it to work is that pressing LT won't work until you've picked your play. It's kind of dumb, but if you select a play, then immediately press LT, it should throw the challenge flag.
 
[quote name='Dark Rider']I was looking at free agents toady, and he is definitely there. Although, he is only a 76OVR, I was looking at him for the off season.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, he definitely isn't the best available WR, but I know he's doing well for the real life Rams so that's the only reason why I wanted to try to grab him next FA period. It's not like he wouldn't be an upgrade for me at #2 or #3 anyway. I can't even name a WR who isn't Steve Smith 2.

That's not if I can pick him up first. Hold on to smith he actually catches the ball unlike Gibson you'll get pissed with him. Lol Amdeola makes some good plays sometimes.
 
[quote name='Chetty12']Falcons Vs Buccaneers
Seahawks Vs Dolphins- Tentatively scheduled for tomorrow late afternoon

Well, the Bucs owner was the one who said he was quitting. But I also haven't seen Aft3rSh0ck post in here in awhile. I'll boot the Bucs owner today so he can play the CPU, assuming that he's aware of what's going on.

As for Panthers - Eagles, I know nothing about that one.
 
[quote name='GpNinja']I forgot who am playing but were shooting for tonight if we advance early enough.[/QUOTE]

Just so you know, I don't usually advance the league at night. I'm not able to get on my Xbox past 11 PM EST. So...if there are any games yet to be played, I usually give it till the next morning just to accomodate people who are only available to play late at night. If all games are completed though, I'll try to get us advanced before then.
 
Haven't heard back from the Seahawks since Sunday. Hopefully ill hear back before I get done work at 4:30 so I can update everyone. It looks like we are waiting for aftershock to play the CPU and my game to get played

It would be awesome if these could get played in time for n8 to advance us tonight, then I could get my game in.
 
After this week, I'm planning to do a playoff picture update similar to Doom in the other league, for those of you who know how he does it.

Awesome! Looking forward to it.
 
[quote name='pitfallharry219']I'm not sure I want to see it. I had a nice lead last time I looked a few weeks ago, but I know I've been playing like dog shit lately.[/QUOTE]

:lol: you're still in control of the North... For now ;)
 
Seahawks here--'My Actions' are showing checkmarks for practice, season game, AND ready. I hit 'Simulate' a couple weeks ago before the bye since I couldn't play one of my games but had the time to get on and auto-pilot. Does that only go week by week or did I auto-pilot myself through this week too somehow?

Ack. Chetty may be playing the CPU when he gets home. The game has NOT played, so it's only on my end.

It SHOULD only be week to week. However, if you did it on the website, God only knows what it actually did, lol. I don't trust EA to do anything right concerning website integration. Having said that, I'd definitely pop the game in and see what your status looks like in game. It's possible the website is just screwed up. I don't remember seeing you on auto pilot when I went through the list. But yeah, if you somehow chose "simulate" for this week's game as well, there's no going back from that. At worst, hopefully it's cleared up for next week.

I was on auto-pilot, but thankfully was able to shut it off and play the game.

Dolphins beat the Hawks, 19-14. Once again a good performance by the D and shitty O. Story of my life! Good game, Chetty.
 
Dolphins defense continues to bail out the offense. 19-14 was the final and 16 of my 19 points resulted from defensive scores. Good game gumbill.

Only game left is Tampa vs Atlanta

Yeah your secondary really shut anything downfield down, had to settle for short passes and never could get my running game going. 90 total yards was tough to swallow.
 
Anybody want to PM Aft3rSh0ck to let him know about this game? I would but I'm about to eat dinner and watch some TV with my wife. I thought DVO knew him too. It would be nice if someone could get in touch with him.

just got off the phone with aftershock hes on his way to GA and cant play the game. he said he tried to set it up with cbarb or whatever his name is but after a few times of trying to setup he said that he told him he was quitting the league and by that time he had to leave town and forgot to post it up in the league that it could be simmed and that he sorry for the two recent sims but he said that last week they just couldnt make times match up and this time the other guy wasnt showing up on time and kept switching the time back over and over again until the point came that he had to leave town.

So assuming we advance in the next few minutes, is everyone okay with me playing the CPU, since the Bucs don't have an owner? I don't have to, but I would love to get the game in tonight.

Either way won't hurt my feelings, just let me know what you guys are thinking.

My friend did this once before and peopel got pissed(in the other league). I suggest to wait cause i think theres peopel on the waiting list that could possibly join and get a game in.

There are a couple people on the waiting list so i'm guessing that N8 would have you wait for him to try and contact them, but you'd have to ask N8 what he plans on doing about that situation.

When the Ravens were open though one guy didn't respond and the other guy didn't have the game. So unless he wants to try the first guy again there's not a lot of options.

Well, there needs to be a reason for why you'd need to play it tonight. And just "loving to" isn't really enough. If you were going out of town tomorrow morning or something and this was your only chance to play the game this week, of course I'd say go ahead. But if there's no actual reason to do it, then it makes more sense to wait and see if an owner can be found.

Woah, no need to get accusatory. I am happy to wait, but if there was no chance of getting another owner this week, I was going to go ahead and play it. I will just wait till the deadline, and if there isn't an owner, then I will go ahead and play the CPU, with the league's permission of course.

Edit: After rereading this, I just wanted to be clear that I didn't intend it to be bitter. I am not bitter, I just wanted opinions.
 
We have advanced to Week 13! Division races are definitely heating up with some big games this week. We'll also do another round of free agency this week, and I'll probably have the groups posted tomorrow morning (going to do bigger groups this time...probably just 4 groups of 8).
