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

3 games left.

Cowboys vs Eagles- Was suppose to be played last night, not sure what happened. Any update?
Vikings vs Packers- They are trying to replay it tonight(11/17) from what i understand of the situation.
Lions vs Colts- No response from the Colts, Lions seem like they have been actively trying to get a time scheduled.

Hey guys, I just thought I would let everyone know that I am going to go ahead and play the CPU this morning. It doesn't appear that we are going to get an owner today, and I will be gone most of this evening, so a late game won't be possible.

I would much prefer to play a real person, (as the CPU cheats sometimes), but I will just get my game over with.

Edit: It's done. Broncos 31-10. Now I will be gone most of the day. So I will see all of you when we advance!

I wasnt jumping on you for anything.... calm down... I was simply dissapointed with what Kaster saying not being 100% true. He scheduled a do over, which he cancelled, and told me to wait until the following day to play. I messaged him now asking what time today works and that I am pretty much open.

Yes I was down 21 pts, but driving, and there was still plenty of game to be played. Granted I still probly would have lost.

[quote name='n8rockerasu']Yeah, ya know, it's ridiculous the shit people jump on me for in here. I don't think it's possible to be any more reasonable than what I posted above. All I have to go on is what people tell me.

1. Kaster posted that after his connection dropped, he sent a PM to schedule a do-over, but hadn't heard anything (allegedly). He asked about playing the CPU right then.

2. I told him to wait because it wasn't a pressing issue yet since we still had an entire day to get it worked out.

3. I acknowledged that in another 24 hours, if he still hadn't heard anything (allegedly), it would then be appropriate for him to play the CPU...not only because he was winning by a sizeable margin, reasonably late in the game, but because by that point, it would have been 2 days since any contact had been made (according to him).

4. Even after recognizing him playing the CPU as a possibility, I expressed my hope that it wouldn't come to that, and that a new time to play could be scheduled.

Seriously! How the hell can anybody have a problem with that? Exactly what is there to be pissed off about? If you're responding to say that his claim that you didn't answer his PM isn't true, then just say that. Don't jump on me like it's my fault. When somebody comes in here and says something, I naturally just assume they're not making shit up. If they are, don't bitch at me. Call them out on it.[/QUOTE]
 
I'm still waiting to hear back from the colts. No response in live or in pm's on this board. Kinda pisses me off because I hate leaving games up to madden to chance a win or loss, especially when one party obviously isn't trying to get the game in.

My apologies Steggy, I should have been more patient. I'm wide open today, hopefully we can get this in.

You don't have to leave it to chance, man. If he's not responding to you by today, I'll put him on auto pilot and you can play the CPU. The game definitely doesn't have to be simmed.

[quote name='DVO21']hey n8 do we have a timetable of advancement[/QUOTE]

When the games are done.
 
Browns defeated Raiders 21-14. Just barely escaped with the win. Darren Mcfadden had a huge run against me for a TD. 86 yards or something like that.

Was a very good game tho and now we have a nice little lead in the division. Tough matchup against the Chiefs next week tho.
 
cowboys/eagles was not able to be played last night due to cowboys being stuck at work. will try and get it in tonight if not simming is fine. Both of us have pretty much opposite work schedule so both games have been hard to schedule and get done
 
Packers Vikings are in the books... Packers win by 3. Was glad to complete the game without Adrian Petterson injuring my defense.
 
All right, we have advanced to Week 14! Here are your award winners from last week.

NFC Offensive PotW: Adrian Peterson, MIN - 16 att, 83 yds, 2 TDs, 4 rec, 162 yds, 1 TD

AFC Offensive PotW - Ronnie Hillman, DEN - 23 att, 263 yds, 3 TDs

Since the bucs are open and theyre my week 14 opponent, can i just play the CPU? I'd like to get the week done as soon as possible since i've had some trouble getting games scheduled and want to make sure i'd be able to get the last weeks scheduled for sure.

Again, unless there's a valid reason to play the game right away, no, you should wait. I completely understand your scheduling concerns, but if you end up having to play the CPU anyway, there won't be anything to schedule. If there's not an owner by the day of the deadline...or the latest time you can play the game (or if a new owner takes over the team with not enough time to schedule the game), then you'll be allowed to play the CPU.
 
My apologies to scrub and the Eagles. We just couldn't get a time to play.


But me and dvo played our game. Very defensive oriented. We had successful running games but a big TO by Foster in the 4th led to a Written TD on the next drive. Then as he was driving for a potential win,, Mana Silva had the game sealing pick 6.



Question. I had a 4th and 1, 4th quarter, about less then two minutes left. He had just used his last timeout. I went for the 51 yd FG. If I had made the FG I would have gone up by 5 and he would have had to go for a TD on his drive but if I punted he would have won with a FG of his own. I believe I made the right decision. I just don't want to get any flack for it if anyone thought it wasn't very "gentlemen" like.

To me, that's not a question of "gentlemanly" at all. It's a close game, points help you win. To me, it's more a question of how confident you are in your kicker's ability to hit a 51 yard field goal, and if you want to risk the field position you're giving up if you don't make it. You were at his 34 yard line right? I don't think any coach would punt from there. Personally, I think the decision is kicking the field goal or just going for it on 4th.

As I've mentioned many times, in my opinion, that area of the field is no man's land. If you punt, you might only gain 14 yards. If you miss the field goal, he's got the ball at his 41. If you go for it and don't pick up the 1st down, he's got the ball at his 34. Kinda hard to say what the "right" call is there. With a strong legged kicker, I think most coaches would kick the field goal. But I don't think going for it is even that hard of a sell.
 
i prolly would have went for it in ur position but my kicker has a strong leg so if it was my team i would have kicked but if i had a weak kicker i prolly would have pa pass or ran it up the middle. i wouldnt have held it against u at all
 
[quote name='Blade3D']Super Bowl Preview? Maybe

49ers vs Dolphins going down right now[/QUOTE]

One might reason that when you're at the point that you feel comfortable enough picking yourself to go to the Super Bowl, maybe you've outgrown this league. Sure doesn't speak very highly of your NFC competition.
 
also n8 the offical league is going thru the offseason as we speak its pretty rough shit i dont think it would be a bad idea once we get to the playoffs if u and i and a few other set up a fake league and run a test thru the off season seeing how it all works and everything like that esp doing a mock draft with seeing how the draft trades work if they even do and all that stuff it would really help this league nto suffer as bad as the other one did

Yet I am horrible in the other league. I think it's more that I have one of the better teams in the game. Not to call Chetty out but I'm not playing with the Dolphins. I was only saying that because we are the number 1 and 2 teams and have been for a few weeks. I think everyone in contention wants to pick themselves for the Super Bowl. I also didn't declare that it was a Super Bowl matchup but just possibly. Just like you could say of anyone in the running for the playoffs. I was just trying to emphasis it was a big game.

Haha, j/k. I just don't think most people would annoint themselves as a Super Bowl team. Call it superstition or whatever, but I really don't even see people in the other league doing that. Just kinda comes off as tooting your own horn, I guess. Not to mention, it gives people even more motivation to take you out, lol. ;)

Haha funny you mention that because we were hanging out earlier today and I was watching his game and the redskins just won in real life and I was like good I'm glad RG3 won he's a good guy in genera! And blade said yea I think he's better than Cam. My response was simple Cam newton is a dick!

I doubt you'll find someone who disagrees with that statement.
 
Seahawks win 27-3 carried by another good D performance (6 ints), along with a lucky long TD pass and a punt return TD very close together to make the score 17-3 in the 3rd. GG cards.

If we can manage to win out (long shot!), 9-6-1 may potentially be good enough for a wildcard spot. We shall see...

The Seahawks D is good
 
Was play the patriots and the game disconnected in the late 3rd. I've never had a connection problem but Hemingway was in control all the way. I was down by three touchdowns. I gave him the option to play the CPU for the easy win as he would have won out game but in a gentlemanly move he wants to play me again tomorrow night.

GG 3/4 game bro! You definitely had me! Looks like tomorrow around 630est/530cst is when we are rescheduling.

Haha I was thinking I'd make it through the season without any network disconnections on madden! You messed up my streak dude! Haha
 
[quote name='Blade3D']The Seahawks D is good[/QUOTE]

I hung 20 on them. *flexes*

But seriously, most of those came from turnovers and Madden screwjobs that put me in good field position. We had a good game the other night.

ahah yeh my bad i think it was my connection so even though i was up 3 scores there was still time left so i think its only fair we play again. so see you tomorrow. i hope it doesnt come back to kick my self in the ass lol
 
Big matchup(for me) coming up today. Browns vs. Chiefs. I get to see how I stack up against one of the leagues true elite teams.


Hopefully Brady and co. can get the job done. Gotta contain Jamaal Charles too.
 
man i dont know wut i need to do about these damn bengals 5-8 i thought i would do better than this but the way it looks i wont even be 8-8 which is my coaches team goal for the season and now i have to win out just to make that happen.
once the offseason hits looks like im going to need to trade up into the first round and make something happen with a player
