I have a pretty fast connection with comcast (50 mbps package) but I still get laggy games on occasion.
I think the degree of lag is the thing. I do think EA runs its servers under a "as cheap as we can get away with" policy. So, getting games with a little bit of lag is probably their fault. But when you run into those games with the crippling lag where it's not recognizing button presses and is stuttering all over the place, I think that's an individual connection thing.I have a pretty fast connection with comcast (50 mbps package) but I still get laggy games on occasion.
Yeah, this didn't happen. I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well, Matt. But you've gotta play your games, man. If it was just this game, I really wouldn't say anything because, of course, we all get sick. But isn't this the 3rd or 4th game you've missed? You were given the Packers over another fan, who is playing as a team he didn't even want right now.. I get that everybody has stuff going on. But at least be fair to that other Cheesehead and play your games.I play the CPU, so I'll have my game done before the deadline. Just haven't been feeling well lately and the gaming has been kept to a minimum for the past few days.
1:45 AM EST and this didn't happen either.I'll get my game in with the CPU around 11 tonight.
Sounds like a guy I played in NHL HUT the other day... I was up 6-0 5 minutes into the 2nd period. He started taking delay of game penalties on purpose and instead of running up the score which probably wouldn't have been too hard, I decided to go work on my D to D passing behind my net. With a minute left in the game he quit.LMAO...man, I love the dummies who inhabit that world known as "Xbox Live Ranked Play". I just played a guy, who I'm about to beat...up 21-14, and picked up a 1st down, so I can just kneel the ball and let the clock run out (he's got one timeout left). The clock ticks down to :02...he uses his timeout, pauses the game, and then quits. WTF? He couldn't wait 2 more seconds, and would rather get a Quit added to his record. Derp.
LMAO...well if that isn't a perfect picture of the arcadeyness of this game. "I don't care is he's ever played football before." lol. I thought I saw Usain Bolt in the free agent list.Anyone have any fast running backs available for trade? He doesn't have to have a high overall. DeAngelo just isn't cutting it.
Well, your first game of the season against the 49ers (when they had an owner) had an issue as well. This is the tale of the Packers so far this year::I have Fios, but I try to make sure nothing is downloading or anything like that during Madden games. It'll be the same way during NHL league games. I only seem to have problems with EA games most of the time.
And I'm sorry I didn't play my game vs. the CPU. I was pretty much bedridden from Monday night until this morning. I'm fine now, though.
EDIT: Just saw Nate's last post. I don't think I missed any games against other users except for the game with Pitfall that disconnected in the 1st and I did not replay. I think I missed one other CPU game.
Looks like Packers vs. 49ers is going down tonight.
I was unable to make our scheduled time on Thursday night, but KingOfOldSchool hasn't responded to me since then. Not sure what's up.
Yeah sorry, didn't get on until last night so I didn't see your messages until then, but was in a foul mood after the game yesterday and didn't feel like doing anything but try to finally play a bit of GTA V.
Pitfallharry, if you happen to read the thread, I will only be waiting for another 10, maybe 15 minutes (it's been 10 already) to play our game. If you're not on Live by then, I'll be playing my opponent from the other league.
Yeah, we were scheduled for 6:30 and I fell asleep and missed our start time. We're rescheduled for tonight at 9:30 EST.
As pitfallharry said, we're scheduled to play in a few hours. He actually PMed me maybe an hour after I posted that last night, but I didn't receive an email notification and didn't see the PM til later last night. But he's been communicating with me the whole time.
We were tied at 7 in the the second quarter when we disconnected. I've sent Matt a couple invitations but he hasn't responded.
I've been waiting for more than 30 minutes. I'm about to shut it down and watch the rest of the baseball game. Sim it, I guess.
I will explain what happened with our game to you and Nate via PM.
No, no actions necessary. Just wanted to address it and express hope that you improve on that. Honestly, with respect to HooRox (the other Packers fan), I'm sure he'd feel better about you being more active with your games as well. I know he accepted his fate with the Jets, but I doubt he wants to see his favorite team get neglected either. As long as we're all on the same page here, I'm good.Understood. I wasn't trying to dispute what you were saying or make excuses. If you need to take any action, I'm not going to take it personally.
LOL...with as many members as we've lost lately, I think most of us are just happy to have a fun opponent to play against. At least that's the way I look at it. I appreciate the people here for participating and for being here for the right reasons.Yes, I think we are on the same page. Although, in regards to HooRox, he'd probably feel better if I wasn't putting up such horrible numbers whenever I have played.
Sorry, fiancé called me from her work and had me pick up her parents at the airport because their neighbors who were supposed to pick them up had some type of family emergency. I always set a reminder on my phones calendar for an hour before my game and another 10 minutes before and got them while I was driving them home... 2 hours away.1:45 AM EST and this didn't happen either.
The Chiefs also didn't play his game against the CPU...the Seahawks owner hasn't checked in in weeks (has missed his last 4 games and isn't even reading CAG messages)....annnnnnd I think the Vikings owner left without saying anything, lol. Damn!
No, any CPU games you can play immediately. He left without saying anything. I doubt he intends to come back.I don't have to wait til the last day to play the CPU Vikings, do I? I'm going to be out of town Saturday and Sunday at wrestling shows.
I don't see anything on the ring, not even a scratch.Check the inner ring of your game and make sure there's no crack in it. Several of us have seen that happen before.
Trade ApprovedI have decided that I would like to try to make the Richardson deal with the CPU Browns. Same deal as real life, first rounder for Richardson.
Colts 2014 1st round pick (would be 23rd overall right now)
for
Trent Richardson - 3 years remaining at 4.4, 4.73, and 5.16 million. Total bonus 13.2 million.
Attributes
Speed - 90
Acceleration - 94
Elusiveness - 77
Carry - 91
If the trade is approved I would be dropping my lowest rated HB to free agency to get to the 53 man limit. This would be Kerwynn Williams.
Haha, go figure. I kind of expected to CPU to be pretty stingy anyway. It would be nice if they'd give you a counter offer though...that way you could see what it would take to get the deal done. They'd probably ask for Luck and Mathis too though, haha.Signing on to try it now.
Edit - Rejected. Oh well it was worth a shot.
Wow, that's awesome. Glad to hear it. You have not been removed, so you'll be good to go.Not sure if I have been removed yet or not, but Amazon has agreed (shockingly, damn I love amazon) to send me another copy of Madden. I should have it tomorrow, so if it works I wont' have to drop out.
I had a 4th and 6 from your 49 yard line with a 4 pt lead. The reason I went for it was because Drew Brees was throwing all over my D. This game was gonna be whoever had the ball last was gonna win. I knew you'd score if I punted the ball to you. You would've had 3 minutes left and 2 timeouts. I don't think it was shitty at all. I think a lot of coaches in the NFL would've done the same thing. But regardless it was a good back and forth game the whole way and you had to quit with 3 minutes left because you didn't stop me. That was pretty childish if you ask me. And I gave you 6 or 7 seconds to call a timeout but you didn't. What did u expect me to do?Dude just went for it on 4th and 6 on the 50 up by more than a FG. Wouldn't let me call a timeout an he called the play before I could change my formation. Cool.
I quit because he just wasted an hour of my time. I'm in the middle of dinner and a fantasy basketball draft. Boot me if you want but that's a shit move.
He also stupidly went for 4th and 1 going into the half down 3.
And yeah, I did go for it on 4th and goal from the half-yard line as time expired in the first half. It wasn't a conservative play call, but I just gave away 10 points in the last minute of the quarter. I tried to get 7 of em back. I could tell what kind of game this was gonna be so I thought I needed the 7 points. You stuffed my run attempt so I don't even see why you're complaining about that.He also stupidly went for 4th and 1 going into the half down 3.
There was no pressure from my D line, Brees was 15 yards away from ANYBODY. Also, the previous play was an incomplete pass. You could've called a timeout.It's called moving the pocket. I did it maybe 2-3 times. And most of it was based on your pass rush. Next time I will just take the sack...
I couldn't call a timeout because I just did to stop the clock. Once I figured that out I tried to change my coverage and that's when you snapped the ball. However, "cheesy" you think passing the ball out of the pocket is, nothing touched that level of bullshit.
After picking up the first down I would've ran 3 plays straight up the middle and kicked a FG on fourth down. I felt way more comfortable with a 7 point lead and making you go 80 yards in less than 2 minutes with no timeouts just to TIE, as opposed to giving you the ball with a 4 point lead and making you go 80 yards in 3 minutes with 2 timeouts and the 2 minute warning for the WIN.So your excuse for going for it was that I would have the last possession and win the game. (Side note: my offense was moving but I also threw 2 or 3 picks. I wasn't playing that well.)
And now you say I should've stuck around because I had plenty of time to get the ball back. Wouldn't you have that same time if I somehow scored and put myself up by 2 points? In that case, you'd have 1-2 minutes left and just need a FG.
I don't know what to tell you. You had two super questionable calls. One which failed miserably and one which only worked because you snapped it as my special teamers were running into formation.
I called a pass play to pick up the 1st down on 3rd and 6 which was incomplete. He did not call a timeout on the previous play. But otherwise, yes that is true.Ok, let's slow down. Seems like a lot of extra info is getting thrown around and it's creating more confusion. Let's stick to the facts, faced with a 4th and 6 at the Jets 49 yard line, Twick says that he took a good 20 seconds to pick his play. However, if uber had already selected his play (not a great thing to do...but yeah, not the first time someone has made an assumption), which I'm guessing was a punt return, that wouldn't matter. And if he had already called a timeout to stop the clock (ie. to force what he assumed would be a punt), yeah, the game wouldn't let him call another one on the field. Is that what happened so far?
Good grief, this is going to turn into a huge mess if people can't even remember what actually happened. I'm pretty sure if an incomplete pass was thrown on 3rd down, he could have called a timeout once he saw you weren't punting. So, something isn't adding up there. But as for not "knowing" he was in a punt return formation, that's also sketchy as hell. How do you not see one single player standing in his own endzone? You guys gotta get your stories straight here.I called a pass play to pick up the 1st down on 3rd and 6 which was incomplete. He did not call a timeout on the previous play. But otherwise, yes that is true.
EDIT: I don't know if he was in punt return formation, but from the way he lined up I thought he was in man coverage. Also, the score was 35-31 with both qb's closing in on 400 yards passing.
Like I said before, I gave you 6-7 seconds to call a timeout and you chose not to.Dude, I literally audibled and then you hiked it. You have no clue what the play was. I was doing it quickly so it was the first play (man with safety zone).
It wouldn't let me... What aren't you getting about that part? I'm not 100% sure your incomplete story checks out. I don't recall the exact play but I just called the timeout so I wasn't surprised when it wouldn't let me call another.Like I said before, I gave you 6-7 seconds to call a timeout and you chose not to.
?? Dude, explain to me how my story is incomplete?? You clearly didn't call a timeout because u wanted to save it for your offense for when u (presumably) stopped me on fourth down...It wouldn't let me... What aren't you getting about that part? I'm not 100% sure your incomplete story checks out. I don't recall the exact play but I just called the timeout so I wasn't surprised when it wouldn't let me call another.
I don't know why you'd hike it as soon as you saw me start to audible. Clearly you were trying to exploit the situation. There's no getting around that regardless of the 3rd down play.
I think you guys should drop it because these arguments are making less and less sense. If he was in a punt formation, he obviously wasn't expecting to need to stop you on 4th down...and I really doubt he had much confidence in his audibled special teamers stopping you on 4th down in a game that you were already winning.??
