Yeah, I meant to play it last night, but I got busy with other stuff. At this point in the season, playing CPU games ain't too high on the list of shit to do. LOL.You weren't the only one. pitfallharry didn't play his CPU game either. And Kaster checked out a long time ago, lol. There's really not that many people left.
Sorry, I totally forgot what today's date was. I just advanced us now.Just wondering when we might be advancing? Curious to see if I sneak into the playoffs or not.
I thought about that...but in addition to the disparity in skill level, I would wager that most of the people from that league that aren't just done with the game wouldn't be terribly interested in the prospect of being assigned a team or adhering to the strict rules that we have here. I think at this point, it probably makes more sense to just ride things out and then see where everybody ends up next year.I said before that if there would he a season 3, I'd play. I wonder, with the other league shutting down, if there's anyone who'd be interested in coming to this league assuming anyone is eligible. Probably not.
Scratch that. Forgot what thread I was in, haha. Yeah...for once, if Madden had done things like NHL and made it where commissioners had to approve trades, you could see if the CPU would do it first. But in this game, once you offer them the trade, if they like it, it just goes through.Quick question about trades with the CPU. Do I need to present it to the committee first, or see if the CPU will accept first? I presume the former.
Yeah, that's probably the best thing. I mean...if you're busy, you're busy. Coming back for the playoffs kind of sets a bad precedent.Nate if you're on the fence about it, then never mind. I believe I stopped playing after week 10 or week 11 but I missed at least 2 games over that first stretch. Darktower, feel free to play against my CPU. Hopefully by the time we get to season 3 I'll be less busy and more excited to play madden
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Broncos do too. I'll try to get to that tonight.n8, the Browns need put on auto whenever you have the time.
If I had to guess, I'd say he didn't want his starters to get hurt in games he had no intention of playing. Though, as I expressed to him many times, the only game he was suspended for was this one. But basically, as I expected, he didn't play another game after his punishment was handed out. With people already questioning his character, this could have been an opportunity to step up and prove that he was here for more than just running up stats and to be an active part of the community. Instead, things like this amount to pouting.What the is the point of the Browns putting all their best players way down the depth chart? It's a bitch move and just bad sportsmanship, though I guess I can't be surprised by who it's coming from.
I blame Kaster's college internet. I realize he's not playing...but still, lol.Awesome, just had my internet cycle in the middle of my wildcard game. Was tied 7-7 in the second as I was driving. Just a heads up to explain the restarted game.
He doesn't appear to have been on CAG since 2/2/14, so I'm guessing he won't even see this. Might as well just boot him from the league and move on IMO.WTF...no, seriously...WTF...the Rams owner apparently just decided he wanted to participate again and played his playoff game? Didn't even post in here or anything. Come on, man. Do you really think that's ok? We JUST finished having a discussion about whether it should be ok for an owner to miss half the season and still play in the playoffs. The Broncos owner (KasterDB) wasn't allowed to play his playoff game because of this. But you play yours without even saying anything? Really?
I lost to the CPU Vikings lol. Couldn't stop AP or their QB. I'm pretty sure the game was out to get me for the first 3 QTRs. I had a chance to come back down 3 in the 4th but threw a pick.I'll be playing my game either later tonight or sometime tomorrow.
Well, the 19th was our standard 4 day cycle. I guess we can wait an extra day though. I doubt anybody would be too up in arms at this point.Nate, I'm on travel. I am coming back late on the 19th, so I could have played on the 20th. I was hoping the deadline would be Thursday.
That would be awesome. Do you know who I play?Well, the 19th was our standard 4 day cycle. I guess we can wait an extra day though. I doubt anybody would be too up in arms at this point.
Yeah, it was a great game. I can't even complain about getting Maddened because I know I was outplayed. I think this might be the first time you've ever beaten me. You'd gotten pretty close the first few times, so I figured it would happen eventually. You've definitely improved over the course of this year.Nate, thx for holding the advance for me. Just played the game vs pitfallharry. Good game, Bengals!
Bengals - 30
Jets - 38
Back and forth game in the first half. Tied at 7 after 1st qtr. Jets scored two TD in 2nd qtr and held Bengals to one FG to take a 21-10 lead into the locker room at halftime. Back to back turnovers late in 2nd qtr. Jets intercepted Johnson, then on the next play, Geno had a nice QB run of 17 yds, then fumbled. Ha ha.
Bengals had only score in 3rd qtr with a TD, but failed on the 2-pt conversion when Milliner intercepted Johnson. Bengals stopped the Jets on 3rd down with a sack to end the 3rd qtr. But with the wind at his back, Buehler opened the 4th qtr with a 58 yd FG to open an 8 pt lead for the Jets at 24-16. The Jets forced a fumble on the Bengals next drive and that led to another Jets TD, making the score 31-16. The Bengals scored on a TD pass to AJ Green midway through the 4th qtr to close back to an 8 pt game at 31-23. The Jets recovered the onside kick and eventually scored a TD on a 31 yd run by Goodson to make the score 38-23. The Bengals got a late TD run to again close the game to an 8 pt spread at 38-30, but failed to recover the onside kick and the Jets ran out the clock to seal the victory.
Several players on both sides had very good games. Bengals had huge numbers in the passing game with 396 yds through the air, but only 60 on the ground. Jets had a balanced attack with 208 yds passing and 167 yds rushing. Jets won the turnover battle with one INT (two if you count the 2-pt conversion) and one fumble recovery, while the Bengals had one fumble recovery.
Stat highlights for the Jets:
Geno Smith was 11-11(!) for 208 yds and 2 TD and completed passes to 7 different receivers
Mike Goodson had 19 carries for 151 yds and 3 TD and one rec for 35 yds
Stephen Hill had 4 rec for 76 yds and one TD
Stat highlights for the Bengals:
Josh Johnson was 20-31 for 396 yds with 2 TD and one INT and completed passes to 6 different receivers
Gio Bernard had 7 carries for 26 yds, but did have 2 TD
AJ Green had 7 rec for 184 yds(!) and 2 TD
Thanks, man, really. That means a lot. Yes, this is the first time I beat you in three tries with the current Madden release. The other two were pretty close at the end, but I could never get that stop when I needed it or you did get the stop when you needed it. This game was definitely in the balance after 3 quarters. On that last play of the 3rd quarter, I had a 3rd and long, but wasn't sure about passing it because if it was incomplete, I didn't think I could hit a FG into that wind. But even though that sack pushed me back a bit, it allowed the clock to run out so I could attempt the long FG with the wind. The 4th qtr definitely went my way, but with your insane passing game, I knew I had to keep pushing. If one of those onside kicks went your way, that might have turned things around.Yeah, it was a great game. I can't even complain about getting Maddened because I know I was outplayed. I think this might be the first time you've ever beaten me. You'd gotten pretty close the first few times, so I figured it would happen eventually. You've definitely improved over the course of this year.
There are two plays I wish I could take back. The read option play when I was down 8 at 24-16 where Bernard got nailed and fumbled was a huge mistake. That was the first time I'd ever run that play all season and it bit me in the ass. I only switched to that playbook because I thought maybe I could run more with Josh Johnson.
I also regret the first onside kick. I think I had 2 timeouts left and the two minute warning coming. I should've just kicked it deep, but I was giving up first downs like it was job. I thought that might've been my only shot.
After playing with Johnson these past few weeks, I really wish I hadn't given Dalton that fat new contract. Johnson can make pretty much any throw Dalton can, and he's more mobile.
