Madden 10 League-OFFICIAL CAG LEAGUE (Tournament)- LOTS OF TEAMS AVAILABLE!

[quote name='Matt Young']Itlnstln, while you are here, please let me know of your preferred play times for the upcoming week.[/QUOTE]

After 6pmEST today, tomorrow and Sunday. Let me know when you want me to be online.
 
[quote name='ubernes']In another league I'm doing I've just been booting out and reinviting people who are to blame (vacation, mia, etc). It's worked out great so far.[/QUOTE]

You're able to do that? I had heard that if you kick someone from the league it bans them and they are unable to rejoin. I haven't tried it in practice yet though, so I'm not sure.
 
Yeah I heard that rumor circulating like right as I was in the middle of a boot/invite back and got worried, but I've done it 3 times now with no problems. I'm not sure if you have to specifically invite them back, but I even believe out of the 3 cases 1 of them he just rejoined himself, so I don't think it's a problem whatsoever.

I can do pretty much any time between 7-9 Eastern time.

This is a really good idea.
 
Naw Mr. Grand Cru. You can take once everyone else has taken (the first three blocks anyway).
ivanctorres is the only guy I have on the chopping block. I know he's legit and all, but maybe he's unlegit :p He hasn't played his last 2 games against guy who I KNOW are 100000% legit to the extreme.
 
[quote name='BigAT']Hybrid, when are you going to be around to get our game in?[/QUOTE]

I don't think that dude checks this thread. I had a hard time reaching him. I think PM did the trick. Watch out for his fake punts! ;)
 
For the record, I sent 2 XBL messages (one the day before we advanced since we knew the day/time) and 1 PM on here to the Bills. Still no word yet. I don't doubt he won't turn up, but I do not want to sim my game at all.
 
RamesuThe1 and I have been getting some connection problems. Took us awhile for the game to actually load (after like, 5 attempts we finally connected), and even then there was a lot of lag. Then the game dropped at the start of the 4th quarter. He was leading 17-7. Not trying to point fingers, but I know it's not on my end.

Hopefully we can play again without the lag, but if not, I foresee a simmed game. I'd feel guilty if I won the simmed game since he was leading. =p (Even though, on that Eddie Royal TD the lag focked up my timing when I switched to my safety). I guess we'll see after we try to get our game in again..
 
Crap it sucks having a bye week, if anybody wants to play a scrimmage game who I dont have already on my league schedule hit me up via PM to arrange something.

P.S.
Also I am going away from 9/23 to 9/27 for my son's birthday so I we need either to schedule my games around that or they will need to be simmed I guess.

Thanks for the heads up...on both issues!
 
[quote name='Mr Grand Cru']After hours of negotiation, Mr Grand Cru and Legendairy Milk were able to come to terms yesterday at 3:20 pm .....

The Panthers traded Deangelo Williams, N. Diggs, R. Robinson, to the Bengals for Chad Ochocinco, Ray Maualuga, Keith Rivers, and A First round Draft Pick for the upcoming season.[/QUOTE]

I just now noticed this....What the fuck? That is the stupidest fucking trade I have ever seen and if I would have seen it before I would have protested it. Thats complete bullshit.

Bengals get
Deangelo Williams rated 94
Na'il Diggs rated 67
Ryne Robinson rated 57

Pathers Get
Chad Johnson rated 89
Keith Rivers rated 81
Ray Maualuga rated 78
First round draft pick.

What the hell Milk, seen was right to be worried about you because you are completely gutting the Bengals in the worst way. Now the Bengals only have 6 guys on the team rated over a 80 and not a single linebacker over 75. When this fool quits the league from loosing all his games there can be no way someone else can take this team. He already leads the league in points against with 145 so your first thought is to give up all of your defenders? Wow, you get a RB behind one of the worst lines in the league and now you trade away all of your defenders leaving your highest rated defender Defensive tackle Domata Peko rated a 80. Not to mention a first round fucking draft pick.

Its like a middle school trade. What angers me is Milk was hell bent on screwing up the Bengals the second he got into the league trying trade away both Coles and Johnson.

I dont think I am over reacting and I honestly think that trade should be revoked because it follows no logically reasoning. No way in hell that trade would even be considered.

Milk I would love for you to explain how the hell that trade makes your team better in any way possible. You cant give up your entire team simply beacuse you like to run the ball. :roll:
 
I think you are overreacting. I suck at the pass and Ochocinco did not make a big difference for me. I love the run game and Williams is a scat back which is great.

Please don't bring up the league leading crap, I wasn't the previous owner. I just beat the Baltimore Ravens last week 31-28 or something. I think I know what I'm doing if I can score on the Ravens defense. I moved Roy Williams to OLB and my backup SS which is 4 overall lower than Roy to starting SS. This works for me, if you hate it so much, reverse it but I had a great backup MLB to platoon Muauluga.
 
Albo23, if you haven't read the rules proposed on the early pages I suggested them to prevent people from doing this crap that you are trying. Are we all now moving players around the field to exploit the game?
 
You moved Roy Williams to LB? What the fuck dude? You cant move Roy Williams to OLB. How the hell did you think that was legal?

I knew you were this type of player. I knew the very second you got here this was what you were going to do, gut the team and then start glitch/cheesing to make up for it. I was even trying to give you the benefit of the doubt that maybe you had some genius insight although common sense told me clearly the only reason why someone would do such a trade because they knew they could exploit some other part of the game.

We dont have any strict guidelines for league but I am pretty sure we set up so that we could change peoples positions past a logically point. A god damn FS playing OLB is clearly past a logically football point.

I mean come on dude, again we are not running a sim nazi league but we are at least trying to run a legit no cheesing/exploits league. You couldnt have possible thought that was legit.
 
Seen when do you want to play our game man? I get off work 3:30est tomorrow...would love to get it done tonight though.
 
lol well if we are throwing it out there i just wanted to add that i put bertrand berry who i guess switched to lb this year? as a de. i dont think this is on par of what milk did but idk just wanted to let yall know. ps to my knowledge i believed he was a de last year. i dont think this a problem but let me know
 
Just so everybody knows I'll be down in Cleveland for the Vikings game this weekend. I'll be back Sunday night/monday afternoon.

Please send me lists+post your opinions on that trade on the previous page here. I'll take a look at everything when I get back.
 
I don't object for him to turn it into a run-based team, but he really is gutting his already bad defense. You're telling me you can't do Coles/Benson, Chad/Benson for an upgrade in RB? Hell, that could pretty much land you DeAngelo. (don't know ratings off the top of my head)
 
[quote name='moonknight25']Lyric, i waited for a hour tonight for you.......[/QUOTE]

Sorry man! Thunderstorms in Florida knocked out my power. Had no way to get the message to you.
 
I vote no on the trade also. From the two games I played as the Bengals in this league, I can tell you that defense isn't much to begin with. To gut it of a couple of the very few bright spots is just idiotic. Maualuga is only rated a 78, but that translates to about a 94 in that linebacking corps.
 
[quote name='Albo23']Why can't I move Roy to OLB? He's a strong safety[/QUOTE]

If you read the league rules you answered your own question right there. I also vote no to the trade.

Ajh we played already and aren't playing again, wouldn't mind a scrimmage for a rematch. I have a bye week this week as well. Let me know.
 
Denver 33
San Diego 14

RamsuThe1.. you gotta fix your connection man. That INT I had was so BS and theres lots of lag input when I switch players so those screens you kept pulling off we're just money plays for you. I'm not saying it as an excuse, but I felt the game could've been more competitive. You got some major luck on your side too with the LT fumble (I was holding down the protect ball button) and the KR (you juked like 2 guys with the spin move and broke out of a two-man tackle).

gg though. You disconnected but I let the CPU finish the game since there was only a minute left in the 4th.
 
No disagreement there, I have verizon dsl and have had problems since I got it. The problem is outta my control and someone is comin out monday to have a look. Sometime its smooth and sometimes it isn't but it should be flawless come monday.

On the flip side, the entire game was smooth until the latter portion of the fourth quarter.

GG as well and the next time we face off, I shall have a robust connection. I don't think that there is any competitive advantage or disadvantage, but it definitely sucks.

My apologies.

Where are the league rules? I don't see how azu even gives a sh*t about the league rules if he doesn't bother to put them in the first post. Are the rules a joke or something? If they're not in the original post then they sure as hell are because apparently no one cares about them.

Here is the rule that seemed to be accepted by the other 31 owners about subs.

"Subs: Make any subs before kickoff or at halftime - or burn a timeout if you need to make a change in the middle of a game. No BS Subs..WR at TE..or 90+ spd HB at FB..etc.etc..You know what is legit and not."


The rules are posted if you would look for them, also it seems the other 31 owners in the league are having no problems not treating the rules as a joke.
 
You are so "typical" madden head, god damn annoying.
You cant play Roy Williams at OLB because he has never fucking played OLB before anyone who knows anything about football wouldnt even consider put him there.

We didnt post set in stone rules because no one in the league other than yourself does this type of thing. In fact you are the first in the 2 years we have had the league. Congrats on being the guy who we now have to make a ton a rules for.

It doesnt matter anyway since everyone who has seen the trade has voted against it. That was another rule that you missed, all trades had to be approved before actually making them in game to prevent people from stacking their friends team before they dropped but I guess it applies to trading your entire team away then switching everyone positions to exploit the game.

Bottom line is you guys most reverse that trade before playing your next game.


For future reference this league is suppose to be fun so we didnt set up a ton of rules preventing people from doing things but we all agreed to simply not be dicks to each other. Meaning real football tactics and strategies most be followed to some degree. Clearly no team would trade away their entire linebacking core for 1 guy and then switch their starting safeties in their place. Seriously, just common sense stuff.
 
Hey Galego, when u get my message on here if u can respond to me on xbox live if thats cool if not ill try and check this as frequently as possible.

Just so everybody knows I'll be down in Cleveland for the Vikings game this weekend. I'll be back Sunday night/monday afternoon.

Please send me lists+post your opinions on that trade on the previous page here. I'll take a look at everything when I get back.

Ok my opinion on the trade between me and Milk and any trade in general is a user should be able to attempt to build his team in whatever way is going to complement to his gamestyle and allow him to build for the furture being that this is a franchise,clearly with his team and record he's not looking to win the superbowl this year,but he is making the first step in building the running game, ...... I dont really agree with the roy williams at LB idea...., but thats another debate all together, Since the first day that Milk joined the league he was trying to find an elite running back, obviously that isnt gonna be cheap.


Bottom line is you guys most reverse that trade before playing your next game.

I definitly will not play my game until Azu has given the final ruling on the trade, whether it must be reversed or not, because that wouldnt be fair to my opponent or the league
 
Grand Cru, he was asking for the opinions of other owners not the people who participated in the trade who obviously would have a bias.

Yes, we all understand that and are trying to allow the freedom for people to do just that. But we can not allow someone to gut an entire team for the sake of a general idea. And of course you liked it you just raped the Bengals of all its good players for barely anything, you got like 4 starters from that deal.

To be honest the first step for a running game wouldnt be a running back but tackles and guards to block for a future running back. Thats why offensive lineman make the most money and are the most sought after in football. The Bengals have a horrid line.

Simply put the trade is rejected beacuse it follows no logical football reasoning. Even using your example Grand Chru of him, "clearly not competing for the superbowl," means that in all honesty that his 1rst round draft pick(most likely top 10) is worth Jon Stewart straight up easily if not more so at most the only thing he had to trade was his draft pick and a 2nd stringer (maybe first) for Williams.


But enough about that, Seen whats the deal man? You ignoring me? I have asked like 4 times when you think you can play and you havent responded. Can a brother get a general time frame?
 
I would have played you last night had you pm'd me; I honestly missed your postings as I answer questions best when pm'd since it personally directs it to me. That said, I'll be around at 7pm EST if you are available then.
