Madden 09 League-Congratulations Soodmeg!

Azu my 360 Red Ringed and it will take a while before I can get a replacement. So you can either give my next opponent a win or whatevers fine. Been fun playing in this league.
 
Ivan, no response to my PM or in this thread and I'm basically not going to be around tomorrow since I just got tickets for the Giants game. What's your deal?
 
[quote name='pHi ||']Steelers (31) vs. Redskins (pHi) 15

Pretty close game till the second half, Ben was just picking apart the Redskins defense and Parker was doing a great job of eating up the clock and falling forward. Going into the final seconds of the game with the score 28-15 and the game in hand, Coach Mike Tomlin decided to kick a field goal to cover the spread. In the post game conference Tomlin defended his actions by saying, "I'm RICH BEEATCH".[/quote]


:lol: Hey my bad about that man. It was 19 MPH winds and I wanted to see if I could make it.

Good game none the less man. I got some mad lucky throws in there.
 
Since you've posted a bunch of times and I don't believe ivan has posted more than once, you'll be getting the win if I have to default it BigAT.
That sucks to hear about your RROD pHi. You were awesome.
I'll probably do a tourney next year, and if I do you'll have a spot in it for sure!


Haahahahaha shinryuu your getting another pass!
 
I'm still not sure about The Gift. He's not been on CAG for five days now. I know he said he's been busy and we could play either tomorrow or any day after 11:30 Pacific. I'm in the Eastern time zone, so that would be 2:30 AM at the earliest for me. I'm not sure if I'll be free tomorrow. So Azu, do what you think is best.
 
I know its not your fault or anything. I know the Gift is legit but as he said he's been working alllll the time.
If you can make a 2:30 AM game let me know, if not let me know.
I'll always give him a freebie spot in whatever Madden thing I'm doing next year.
Let me know.
 
Raiders (me) 10 vs Bucs (Azumangaman) 24

Great game Azu, cant believe I gave up that kickoff return at the beginning of the game. Was a really close game til the end of the 3rd quarter.
 
I have been wondering what to do with madden after this tourny. It looks like seasons wont work as interest just dies after a while and I only play this in the CAG league.


Azu you have any plans for the future?
 
So if your game is finished tonight, that leaves 2 more.
jlarlee vs. sj41 (the win will go to sj41 as I haven't heard anything from jlarlee).
neworlbush vs. Wanderlai (this one makes no sense, both of these guys ALWAYS get their games done).
 
To The Gift,

Sorry buddy, but I have to give the win to pitfall. The only time you could play was 2:30 AM, and thats a lot to ask.
Next year there will absoultely be a spot for you :)

Still waiting on a reply, are we doing this tonight or what?
 
Packers (BigAT) - 26
Giants (Ivan) - 21

Ridiculous game. Very close throughout with the lead going back and forth. I was down and driving at the end of the game, threw a pick to I think Michael Johnson and as he was returning it managed to strip it free with an offensive lineman, then another offensive lineman returned it for the game winning TD. Unfortunately my 360 froze right after the game so I can't post the replay, it was absurd though.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']jlarlee vs. sj41 (the win will go to sj41 as I haven't heard anything from jlarlee).[/quote]Yeah, I don't think he's been on for awhile, since he never responded to the PM I sent him last week.

That was the worst loss you could ever imagine one of the biggest loads of BS that I have ever encountered in Madden Football.

My team made tons of big plays, had two longs bombs to Hixon, had at least 6 sacks and 3 turnovers plus one that was called back on a facemask penalty?!!?

I get an INT on 3rd and 10 with 30 seconds left in the 4th quarter, which effectively ends the game as a result of a chuck downfield with Justin Tuck about to eat him up again. I am making a beeline to the sideline but somehow the offensive lineman is twenty yards down field and "STRIPS" a defensive back and then proceeds to score??!! I am up 21-17 at that point before the fumble and I lose the lead 24-21?!! I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't believe that loss. My team made all the big plays when it needed to against a good opponent but lo and behold madden makes my guy fumble as a result of a offensive tackles tackle!!

Tough way to go out for me. I just can't play Madden anymore after that.

:rofl::rofl:

This is not to throw salt on your wombs beacuse we have all had madden cheat the hell out of us. That is just hilarious though.


Reminds me of the time I made a youtube video of a LB keeping up with Devin Hester for 40 yards, then batting the ball away plus hit sticking Devin has he tried to catch it on the tip.

Madden just suck all around and you can never tell if you are getting cheated or if it happened legit.
 
well, i got another 360, albeit an arcade one. So AZU if you still want me to play let me know. i would prefer it if I dont and let shinryu play since i'm leaving out of town for Winter break. So I wouldnt be able to play till Jan anyways.
 
This is double elimination right? So i have a chance to redeem myself?

If not I am goingto pay gamestop a visit and trade this in.

Just sucks when you play a great game against a big opponent and still come up short.

So is that what most of us are doing? I plan on trading this in also right after this tourny. I really disliked this game from the get go but this CAG season/tourny was just to much fun to pass up.


If madden does bring its A game for next year I most likely wont even bother to pick it up.
 
I am watching madden nation right now and its still hilarious how much those so called madden pros glitch, cheese and just be an over all douche bag.

I love the shit talking though.
 
Damn, which I would have seen that post.

Umm tomorrow is good for me if you can. Either early afternoon or kinda late, me and the misses are going out.
 
Hey guys, not trying to stir any trouble or anything, but I still keep an eye on this thread from time to time. I just had a general question I wanted to pose. I know Azu was talking about doing a Madden league/tourney again next year, but I was wondering. How many of you guys are going to pre-order or even purchase Madden 10 on day one next year?

The way I've felt about the last few revisions has left me with kind of a sour taste in my mouth, and I doubt I'll buy the game again until every reviewer, website, and friend tells me that it's a "must own", and that I'm missing out by not owning it. I'll probably just have to wait through the "initial hype" phase (about a month) to get an honest opinion. Anybody else have a thought like this?
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']I'll be getting it day 1. I always have. My brother and I play all the time.[/quote]

I can understand "tradition", but I just feel like that's what they're banking on now. They definitely made improvements this year, but with all the cheese that goes on in this game, it gives the impression that the core gameplay element went almost completely ignored.

The last 2 Maddens I've bought at launch for $60 and $90, respectively. I just don't think I can give EA my blind faith anymore. Considering that NHL 09 even got a patch to fix things people were complaining about (glitch goals, too high shot accuracy, etc.), it would be nice if Madden got that kind of dedication.

How many people would have liked a "fumble less" or "don't always play in the snow" patch? These are small complaints, but I just want Madden to earn my dollar again. I'd like Madden 10 to be amazing, but I have a feeling I'll be waiting a while.
 
I don't think I've ever bought a Madden on the first day except this year. Mainly because I played the demo and the gameplay was much more playable than 08. My brother bought 08 last year and I traded it for The Orange Box on CAG because we never played it because it was boring. For some reason, I've tallied up to 90+ games over Live in Madden 09. Plain and simple, I'm having fun with the game (or, I was until other games came out). I actually considered skipping 09 because it didn't have accelerated clock, but they announced a patch was eventually going to be released... which eventually never happened.

Yeah, you're going to have your issues in Madden. Franchise mode is unplayable and there are some tweaks people nitpick with the gameplay. I just think they need to fix Franchise mode to what it was in last-gen and I'll probably be sold.
 
Steelers win 24 - 0 against sstyler and the Bengals.

We only played 1 half before sstyler offered me the win but if you are a Steelers fan it was one damn good half.

I dont know what it was today, seemed like I could do no wrong. The 1st half we played, I scored 24 points including a 99 yard TD to Holmes after I INT it on the 1 yard line. Parker had a crappy day but still managed to get a 30 yard scamper into the endzone.

The story of the day as it always is with me was defense. 15 hurried pass attempts, 3 sacks, 2 INT, 3 Forced Fumbles (actually I think it was 2 one got over turned by the booth) one of which was returned 40 yard by a defensive lineman.


So as it looks now the worst postition I could be in is 3rd place right AZU? Is there any prizes for the 2nd and 3rd place finishers?
 
Wow, I didn't expect that. I was looking forward to the result of that game.
I'm not sure how prizes are going to work, but it'll probably be something like that (prizes for 2nd and 3rd).
 
Alright we have like what...3 or 4 games left?

Lets please try to knock them out quickly as in some time this week. This league and tourny combo although very fun has been drawn out way to long and its time to actually end it.

I want to take this time to thank everyone who stayed until the very end it was really fun this season and made me slightly less annoyed that I actually purchased madden in the first place.

Big props to Azu outlasting the 2 other leagues and finishing it up even when he lost.

I will be trading in madden the very second I complete my last game in this. Whether I will get madden next year depends on if I win it all this year. I would hate to win this tourny and then not give anyone the chance to beat me next year but I dont know if even that is enough for me to get another madden. Madden simply is not football and EA seems very content to leave it that way.

There are just to many areas that dont even come CLOSE to representing football. 45% of the routes in the game are worthless beacuse you can only throw 2 types of passes, lob or low bullet. Man defense is completely broken. Line play is broken. The way RB run is completely trash as apparently every back in the NFL is both a power and finese back. ETC. ETC...ETC.

Just far to many problems that have been around for the last 6 or 7 years for me to every be excited for another madden. Until they scrap the entire 10 year old engine and actually make VAST improvements not just 1 or 2 and some kind of crazy gimmick I will keep with the trend of buying madden every 4 years or so.
 
I agree with most of what Soodmeg said above, especially being quick with our games now that it's down to just a few of us.

BigAT (Packers) - 17
Wanderlai (Panthers) - 0
