Madden 09 League-Congratulations Soodmeg!

Cowboys - 6
Packers - 3

Frustrating loss for me in the snow of Green Bay, couldn't get anything going on offense.
 
(This story will feature emoticons to try to make for a more enjoyable reading experience :whistle2:s)

Yeah, so I'm switching to the Saints :cool:, lol. phi || and I attempted to play our Broncos - Redskins game earlier today. And by attempted, I mean the Broncos ATTEMPTED to not appear completely retarded...at which they failed miserably. :dunce:

At a rain-soaked Invesco Field, the Broncos received the opening kick...for about one second! FUMBLE!!!:whee: Washington picks up the ball and returns for a touchdown. :cry: That took about 10 seconds. Redskins kickoff again. This time it's pretty deep into the endzone, so I just let it bounce out for a touchback. :whistle2:k First play from scrimmage, I ran a stupid out pattern, DB steps right infront...easy pick 6 :wall:(that pick was totally my fault. It was just truly a stupid throw). Washington's offense has yet to receive the ball, but has a 14-0 lead, with 4:15 left to play in the 1ST QUARTER!!! :shock:

Redskins kick off again. I think I actually tried running the ball :), but got stuffed :cry:. So then, I tried another pass. This one was less my fault. Although there was some coverage, the receiver didn't even make an attempt for the ball. Why is it that receivers in this game play like they're high? "Hey...it looks like that guy is going to step infront of me and catch the ball. Whoa dude...he did, haha." #-o Amazingly, that one wasn't a pick 6, but within 3-4 plays, Washington had scored again, and it was 20-0, still in the 1st quarter.

I then just quit the game :shame:, and apologized to phi || but explained that taking a beating was not at the top of my list of "things to do" today. :boxing: He graciously allowed me to switch teams if I wanted to :bow: and we're going to try it again later. I think I just hate weather in this game. I don't know why, but I'm a night and day player in terms of the presence of bad weather. :hot::cold:

So, that's why I want the Saints! fuck you mother nature, I'm playing inside! :bouncy: I hope this doesn't piss anybody off, but I just can't take Jay Cutler's bullshit anymore. If I ever meet him, I'm going to punch him in the testicle.:fridge:

THE END :D
 
n8 = cool dude.

Sure man, as long as pHi || is cool with it, they're all yours. I'll make the switch now. Do you want to play a game for fun after the Vikings/Packers game n8? We can play with our new teams to see which one of us fails more ;)

Haha, that sounds like an outstanding idea man! I could use a test run with NO. Your Xbox Live friends list is full, but just PM me on here when you're ready.
 
Redskins (phi ||) 7, 14, 20, etc.
Saints (n8rocker-suckmyballs) 0, 0, 0, 0, (if I threw a fucking 1 in there, I'd have the binary code for "I SUCK ASS!!!")

god dammit I hate this game. I don't even know why I bothered against phi ||. Our attempt to play tonight was marred by lag...which I'm sure is the only reason the game was even close. He led 7-0 with about 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter. I stopped him on a big 3rd and short play at midfield, and he opted to go for it on 4th down. I expected a QB sneak, so naturally, I was going to try the only chance of stopping it in this game: aka "field goal block".

But because of the fucking lag, it made me choose fucking "2 man punt return" or some shit. I tried to audible to something else, but didn't have much time because I'm sure as soon as phi || saw my coverage, he probably nutted on himself with delight (and I was out of timeouts). He ended up gaining like 8 fucking yards on the sneak, and that was it for me.

I just can't take bullshit from this game. I will not tolerate it. I'm this fucking close to trading it in. Seriously. I'm not even having fun anymore...and I'm not a guy who minds losing. I'd just like it to blatantly be my fault. But EA has reached deep into the pits of hell to discover new ways to fuck people with this game. The fact that I bought the "Collector's Edition" makes me want to throw up on myself :puke: (that's for you Azu, haha)

EDIT - I do want to add, this is nothing at all against you, phi ||. You were more than accomodating throughout all this. I'm honestly sorry I wasted your time "replaying" this game tonight...especially with the early disconnect and horrible lag thrown in for good measure. You obviously know the game well. I just feel like everything in this game is exagerrated. Bad weather, injuries, turnovers, QB sneaks, etc. It stopped feeling like real football a long time ago.

haha, can you tell I'm competitive. I feel gay as a tapdancing fairie bitching about a video game, but come on. I mean, seriously, lol. Maybe this Thanksgiving, Madden will choke on his turducken...as opposed to every other day of the year...when he just chokes his "turducken". You see what I did there? ;)

On that note:

Sorry to threadcrap. I'm bored, lol.
 
Tourney game results.

Carolina 17 49ers 14

Quan plays some mean D. I eeked out a last second FG for the win. I think both offenses were under 100 total yards.
 
Well, as I said in my last post, I was "this" close to trading this game in. The next game I played pushed me past that level. I apologize to Azu and everybody in this league, but I'm out. I'm trading this piece of shit in tomorrow when I go to pick up my Mirror's Edge pre-order. Even if that game only lasts 6 hours, I can guarantee it will be more enjoyable than this pile of garbage. I would give my reasons, but there's no way to make it not sound like a rant. So, again, I apologize. I just can't subject myself to this anymore. Madden makes me want to run over small children with my car...and I don't like myself when I'm like that.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']I understand n8. Its not too big a deal, I'll just give whoever is supposed to play you next round a Win, eliminating you.[/quote]

Yeah, I figured I'd lose anyway. I held out as long as I possibly could. It was either this, or set a church on fire. Thanks for understanding.
 
now wait a minute n8..... what kind of church are we talking about here? If it's a scientology church, then I would recommend going with the arson. But all jokes aside, was fun playing with you. peace
 
Hey guys, I have 4 more days of work and then I am back. Just 4 more days man, Sunday is my last day before I get like a 3 week break so I will catch up with everyone then.

Can you say hi-lar-ious?

Way to go Mr. 100% effort.

RECAP
Falcons(shinryu) @ Giants(ivanctorres)
Giants win a close game 10-7.

This was a tightly contested game. I thought the game was locked up as the Giant D was playing well but with 3:25 left in the 4th quarter and with the Giants ahead 10-0, Ryan throws a strike to Roddy White running a post pattern in the middle of the field after evading a sack from Justin Tuck.
Giants get the ball back and try to run for a first down but are not able to and pass on 3rd down. Lawyer Milloy steps in front of a pass intended to Burress giving the Falcons the ball at the NYG 48 with plenty of time to get a tying field goal.

Giants D stiffens and forces a 4th and 13 at the Giant 40, which would be a 57 yard FG for all you following @ home, which is practically impossible. Falcons have to go for it and fall about 2 yards short of the first down and turn the ball over on downs.
 
Good game. I really had no chance. Like our last game (which was a long time ago), it took me awhile to stop your offense. I don't know why I tried for the long ball on 3rd and 13. I forgot that I could at least make some room for a FG or a 4th and short, but, I guess I wasn't thinking. My Oline kept getting killed. It was nasty. Even if I assigned my TE and tailbacks to protect the pocket, I think Tuck would somehow manage to get in.

I was reading a novel during this game, lol. Ugh, so much homework..
 
I added the Bracket Letters to the Round 1 matches so you guys have an *idea* of who to play next. I'll put out the full Round 2 when the time comes.

WINNERS BRACKET
A vs. B- Becomes 'L'
C vs. D- Becomes 'K' - phi|| vs. Soodmeg OR sj41
E vs. F- Becomes 'J'- ivan vs. BigAT
G vs. H- Becomes 'I'- neworlbush vs. Wanderlai

The losers bracket is essentially the same thing. Loser of A plays Loser of B

I'm assuming that we are reseeding after round 1? Best record plays worst record and so on? Just to keep things consistent
 
[quote name='ivanctorres']How could someone in the winners bracket play the same person in round 2?[/quote]
Oh. I wasn't thinking before. I really don't think its necessary to reseed for each round. I've never heard of a tournament that does that.
 
Yeah soodmeg, I can play tonight if you're ready or sometime tomorrow. Just add me on Live and send me a message when you're ready.
 
popemogoth was banned by Xbox Live, so he's out. Apparently I got the score wrong, but BigAT I guess you get a free pass, as does whoever was going to play him next round.

Soodmeg has also been silenced.
Shit.
 
Our league is like the Bengals. We don't play our games and we get in trouble with the law.

I'll send Soodmeg a FR on Live and play him soon.
 
Hey I can play anytime this week man....just shoot me a pm or a friend invite or something.

I am going to be on all the time this week.
 
It's been over 2 weeks since we got this started and we still haven't gotten out of Round 1, let's get this a-moving.

At some point you might just need to start handing out forfeits before things get ridiculous and people completely lose interest.
 
I'll think of a deadline soon.
There are 3 more games to play.
TheRock and Gift have a pass(kinda) because I know the Gift is insanely busy.
PLEASE PLAY GUYS!!!
I know your all dedicated and I KNOW we can do this!
