Madden 09 League-Congratulations Soodmeg!

[quote name='Azumangaman']Sure. Are you Boston Dynasty on XBL by any chance? You may want to edit your post saying your XBL name. Just wondering because a guy by that name tried to contact me on XBL today but I was playing Gregbales.
We were slaughtered by 5 disconnects. The last one was the fucking EA servers. It was going sooooo smoothly too.[/quote]

Yeah, sorry. My XBL account is BostonDynasty. I tried to contact you to see if it was alright if I joined. Hopefully I can get in touch with Gregbales tonight to get that game done.
 
I think N8 might want to join this league commish so I would hold his spot open since Jagged's league seems all but dead.
 
Can I play my week 3 game? Who ever is the Buccs please message me and lets get a game. Sorry commish. But its a 3 day weekend and I havent heard from my Carolina opponent yet. Though he has contacted me we couldnt meet up the one day he could play last week.


This is the down fall of not having a flex schedule. I hate waiting for people and getting stuck on one week for 6 or 7 days.
 
If you want to play your week 3 games, go nuts.
HOWEVER, I'm not putting up the schedule yet, so:
1) Make sure you have the right opponent
2) Don't post the results here until Week 3 is active.
3) I mean, you can play ANY of your games, because I can't really stop you. Just keep record of them and make sure you don't post it in here until the week comes up.
4) I think it keeps the fun if you do it weekly though.

Also, for N8, since I'm sure he'll be 100% legit, I'll personally hand him whatever spot opens next.

[quote name='popemogoth']Im 4 Obama we are gonna have to pick up and play that game when I get back. I scored early in the 3rd and TO got hurt making that TD catch and the connection was lost. We can either start a new game from scratch or we can play 2 quarters with the score starting @ 14-7.
Im not sure about this idea but we might have to check in with the League Comissioner 1st regarding disconnected games.[/quote]
As long as both of you are fine with playing 2 quarters and pretending its 14-7 at the beginning, its fine with me.
If either of you has a problem with it, just start fresh.
 
Reminder:
Last Day for Week 1!
Ok, so theres only 1 game left and neither of them can be booted because they're too new. Deadline for them is Thursday, the 4th...but you still have to play yo Week 2 games by the deadline.

Np dude, just hollar at me whenever you see me on
 
A bit under the weather this whole weekend Azumanga...I should be able to play Wednesday early evening if you're available. I'll PM you here or on XBL when I figure out a more specific window.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']Wednesday early evening...is my brothers birthday, so probably not...
Unless we're talking 4-5:30 EST, that might work.[/quote]Yeah, I could probably do late afternoon on Wednesday. I'll let you know on Tuesday though.

Sounds good.
If you feel up for a game tonight, just PM me here if I'm online or msg me on XBL.
 
[quote name='pHi ||']Haven't Heard from frankysox for week 2. So Rock88 if you wanna play your week three game against the bills let me know.[/quote]

I got HW this whole week. I should be available on Thursday afternoon or anytime Fri,Sat,Sun if you wanna play.

Let's do Sunday morning or afternoon your call. I am on the east coast, so there will be a 3 hr difference between the two of us. So let me know when is a good time.

K, 1 pm PST/4 pm EST sound good for you?
 
[quote name='pHi ||']Franky (Jaguars) hasn't been on either[/QUOTE]

He's on for at least a few hours every single day. What time do you get on? You should PM him.

I just PM'ed my opponent attempting to set up a time for tonight or tomorrow. We were supposed to play earlier this week, but our schedules haven't matched up. He's been very good about keeping in touch, though. He's just busy with work and moving into a new place.
 
Yeah. And to DJSteel, from what I know GregBales is legit.
Deadline is moved to Sunday, (Friday to Sunday sound good?) and Week 3 will start tomorrow.
 
fuck this.
So SteveMcQ and I disconnected approximately 5 or 6 times and I'm so pissed its not even funny. Mostly because my record is now 1/11 after disconnects from Me vs. Gregbales and Me Vs. SteveMcQ.
Both their records are untouched.
I don't fucking get it. My NAT is open and everything...
Argh.
FWIW, I told him I just couldn't take it anymore.
We never even made it to the end of the 1st (less than a minute to go twice). The only thing that ever happened was 7-0 me.
That was awful.
If that was all me, my apologies for wasting your time SteveMcQ!

That's weird. Between all that and our inability to connect, and your NAT being open, I'd say maybe you need a new ISP. I'm not sure how ti is in Canada, but I had horrible service with Time Warner cable. Verizon DSL is great, though.
 
AndJuan and I got in our week two game. Falcons Vs Bucs, Falcons 14 and Bucs 7. I ended up with a touchdown after fumbled punt return that was the deciding factor. Pretty good matchup overall.
 
I need to play gregthomas77 for our second week. To be honest I dont see us getting it done. Its hard to coordinate with a guy who only post 1 time on the entire site a day.

And only twice in this actually thread.

It's weird that it counted the disconnects against you though. There was a menu that came up after each disconnect and it said whether to continue vs. CPU or quit. I'd quit and select the option not to count any of the stats in the game so I assumed that didn't count the disconnect against you. Sorry if I chose the wrong option. I thought it was something about the server though considering it was around 9pm EST when we played. I checked my NAT settings too a minute before we started and it was set to "Open".
 
Ha. I am not dissing anything but this league is falling apart around us.

Disconnects, lag, ghosting, just another day at the madden league!

Ah well I will be around to the very end I suppose.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']Yeah, I need to do that for sure.
Great that you played but...um...who won? DJSteel?[/QUOTE]

Yeah I did...
 
Week 3 schedule is up!
I think I've just had a couple bad runs with connections.
@SteveMcQ: Does Sunday morning before 1 work for you? 12:00pm EST is good for me. I'll be watching the FIRST FREAKING WEEK OF THE NFL alll day.
I may be home Saturday night as well.
 
Look I havent heard from the panthers guy in at least a week in a half so I am skipping it.

Tampa Bay owner lets work out a time.

Panthers guy here. Want to play?
 
Good game greg a couple things didnt go your way but if you would have had more time I think you could have come back.


Bears out last Panthers is Euro Opener.



The Panthers host the 2nd annual euro game to the Bears and we have all of the action in cased you missed the 10:00 am American start time.

We apologize for the lack of information for today game as our Euro feed went down.
AKA Madden fucking froze on the end game screen so I couldnt access any stats.fucking EA

The weather was a factor as winds were reported to be up to 14 mph with heavy rain fall. Stand out return man Devin Hester said before the game, "I love this type of weather. It makes it easier to break ankles and get free." And it didnt take him long to show why you always need a podiatrist on hand when vsing the Bears. On the opening drive he makes a fool of 2 Panthers defensive man breaking out of one tackle then spinning past the other on his way to a 51 yard TD reception early in the first quarter.

Through the 2nd the Panther managed to double up with 2 TD passes from QB Jake Delhomme while the Bears only manage a FG score after 2 is Bears 10- Panthers 14. Later in the 3rd Bears shutout Carolinas offense while manging to score via the running game which piled up over 140 through out the contest.

Bears defense sailed the rest of the way as they shut out the Panthers in both the 3rd and 4th quarter including a goal line stand to close out the game.

Bears win 25 to 14.
 
[quote name='pHi ||']I tried Pming franky, and friending him on XBL... so I don't know what else to do[/QUOTE]
