Madden 12 League-OFFICIAL CAG LEAGUE-Week 3 live. Deadline Monday night.

The trade favors me in the beginning and should slowly favor Ubernes. Let's face it, Plax probably has one year left and there is a chance he retires at the end of this season. I'm not going to pay a lot for a 8 game rental.

The guards should be pretty even based on progression / regression. Moffitt has been a starter for me for two years, if playing helps progression at all, he's done plenty of that!

Why don't you like it Doom??
 
In case you haven't noticed, the Jets are changing drastically...or at least attempting to. I don't know if I'll make any extra moves (although Bart Scott and Bryan Thomas are still on the block), but I'm looking to make my defense a bit more flexible. Pouha and Devito were a bit too slow out there for me in a 4-3 hybrid scheme, so I'm going to see what Ellis and Klug can give me in the middle and hopefully give them some LBs in the draft to build on top of that.

As for my offense, obviously I'm aiming to get younger. My key pieces aren't quite there yet (i.e. Sanchez and the run game) so I'm stalling a bit by dealing some veterans. And Plax played well with me, but he didn't make it on the field much this season due to an early injury he's just coming back from. Maybe I'm giving up on him too early, but clearly he's not part of the NY Jets future plans so it was time to move on. Golden Tate fits in as the prototypical Jets WR... fast. I think he may be a better slot WR than Kilgo so that will be something we'll need to experiment with down the stretch. It's a shame neither of them have A or even B potentials as I would like to see one of these guys go beyond a low/mid 70s slot WR, so maybe one of them gets dealt on draft day if this experiment fails.

Moore was my oldest offensive linemen after I drafted a RT last offseason. He's still stellar and will likely stay that way for a little while (not sure on the exact age of downturn for o-line but I assume it's right around 33). This helps me focus on other things for this upcoming draft and hopefully with progression I should be approaching the high 70s-low 80s with both of my guys on the right side.
 
Was hoping for an explanation from both sides. :) Now that I've read that, not really much of a problem. Was just looking at their potentials but the regression and possible retirement balances it out.
 
If I beat the Pats this past week I may not have made any of these deals, but that loss may turn out to be for the best. I needed to do some overhauling and while this isn't too crazy of a move, it gives me a jump start on Season 3. DT and RG are settled, I can focus on LB and maybe even look at a new RB. There's going to be a lot of experimenting with this team over the final weeks of the season. Greene vs Powell, Kilgo vs Tate, who fits in with what I want to do best, etc.
 
Glad to see we could bring you to our side.

I think Uber is going to like Tate in the slot. He is being held back for some reason, but has all the makings of a sick slot guy (93 SPD, 88 CIT, 86CTH), I just have a better one (Snow). I was going to draft line help, so this buys me a year and maybe my rookie RG will progress well (C Pot).

I think the trade is more fair than it seems at first glance. I'm looking to make a run now, this give me the best shot (imo) to do so.
 
I know BV is swamped, but i'm hoping he can get in here to look at these. Or maybe Siradam. I'd like to get another opinion on these deals, but I suppose we have another day to work with.

Also, is the qb sneak still banned?[/QUOTE]

I just want better dtackles... I like having a plethora of 300 pounders
 
I like having the qb sneak banned. Less temptation to go for it on fourth down which is good for the league. And it forces the offense to at least make one block.
 
[quote name='staticz']Seahawks Trade:
Golden Tate - WR 24 73OVR C POT
John Moffit - RG 25 76OVR B POT

Jets Trade:
Plaxicco Burress - WR 33 81OVR B POT
Brandon Moore - RG 32 88OVR A POT[/QUOTE]

Even after reading the explanations, I don't like this trade. I shudder to improve the Jets of course, but I feel like the Seahawks are getting a much better deal here. I don't share the opinion that Plax is likely to retire after this season, though I suppose it's possible. I'm not sure the Jets getting younger here is enough to overcome the 20 point difference in OVR.

I might feel differently if either Moffit or Tate were A potential, but since they're not neither is likely to ever get to the point where Burress and Moore are now. Consequently, I view it as a huge risk for the Jets, I might feel better about it if the Seahawks were sending back a pick as well.

As I said earlier, I'm fine with the other two trades.
 
So Man2008 finally sent me a message over XBL at about 1:00AM. He sent he couldn't get on the server on Tuesday for our original game. THIS IS WHY HE NEEDS TO USE CAG TO LET ME KNOW! Instead, I didn't hear from him for more than 24 hours.

He wants to play tonight at 10:40PM, which I can't and the deadline is tonight, correct? I also believe that he has been booted, correct? How should I proceed?

If that's the only time he can play and you're not available, we'll find a sub for him. What times today can you play?

Also, anyone know what's up with the Giants-49ers game?
 
[quote name='PacerPerspect']I'm free from 12PM to 4PM Est today.[/QUOTE]

Who can sub this afternoon and has a similar record to the Redskins (3-5)?
 
So if there are no objections to the trades involving the titans, I would like to execute them at some point this afternoon/night
 
BigAT usually replies to PMs right away, he would be your best bet since Cru only works via text message.

Pacer you might try DVO or Aftershock via PM, they usually have some open time in the afternoon.

Both Titans trades are good to go, you guys can go ahead and put them through. I'll add both to the OP now.

I hate the QB sneak, because it is still a near certainty to pick up a yard, which kind of takes the enjoyment out of 4th and inches or goal line plays where people run it (thankfully not many people do). That said, given that they patched it I don't really think it would be justifiable to still have it banned since it no longer comes with a speed boost.

I guess instead of a rule we could just have a suggestion: Grow some balls and run a more difficult play. ;)
 
FINALLY, after 16 long weeks, the Bengals get a win. Been a tough couple weeks losing to the be Ravens and Bills by less than 7. We now train for Tennessee.
 
Bored at work and pouring over stats on XFN... The key to beating the 2012 Patriots: Intercept Tom Brady

The Patriots are 0-4 when Brady throws at least one pick (though he's never thrown just one). When he doesn't, they're 5-0.

In losing efforts, he's 41-75 (55%) for 664 yards, 4 TDs and 11 INT, a QB rating of 64.1.

In winning efforts, he's 45-54 (83%) for 749 yards, 8 TDs and 0 INT, a QB rating of 158.3 (aka perfect).

Obviously not turning the ball over is a big key to winning for any team, but I found the contrast here especially striking.
 
I vote to keep it banned. I think if we allow it, were gonna have an increase in 4th down atttemps and a lot more complaining in the thread. Jus my opinion tho I'm not gonna throw a fit if we allow it. But like u said bv,chances of stopping it are so slim, and it takes zero skill. Id hate to lose because of a qb sneak, but then again if ya lose becaue of it, ya shouldn't have given up the 9 yards to begin with.

On another note the titans are sad to part ways with several good young players. However the city of tennesee is still salty after coming up a yard short in superbowl 30 over ten years ago. With an 8-1 record, they realize the time is now. Bringing it veteran dlineman babineux and pouha certaonly bolster an already solid front 7 even with the devaastating loss of ikeem smith.

The toughest to part with was definetly mariani. He was my return specialist and a solid 3rd or 4th reciever. I came to realiz that even tho mariani is a B potential, damian williams is a better reciever, even if he's only a C potential.

Its also nice to reunite the babineux brothers in tennesee (jordan and jonathan)

Still looking to move rookie rb teran doolittle 77B potential. He is a little tank at 5'8 220. Reminds me of benjarvis green ellis.

It's been unbanned for a while and QB sneaking hasn't become an epidemic, so I think we might have escaped that.

Just don't go thinking of starting a brotherly love theme and trying to get Devin McCourty (this being the version of him who's still good). :D

Law Firm has a 99 carry rating though. ;)
 
haha I thought about it last night actually when I was looking at ur roster. Everyone seems to think he sucks now in real life this is not true. He certainly is in a sophomore slump, he's gotten beat a few times, but he has nooooo help over the top. The pats safeties the last 5 gamea have been ihedigbo, sergio, and slater. He's an elite tackler for a corner, and has insane speed and agility. I would take him on my team anyday....in real life and in madden

So would I. I also think he's been playing hurt all season. That said, he is not getting his head around nearly as well as he did as a rookie, which is somewhat concerning for any corner who you hope is elite.

His Madden rating has certainly suffered though, but he'll always be a shutdown corner in THIS franchise. :D
 
And yea bjge is a beast love runnin with him. I like how u can really concentrate on following blockers with I'm cuz u don't need to avoid contact or cover up, he ain't fumblin. I've played with the pats in basically every ranked match I play...I can only remember one fumble out of over 100 games
 
Ban QB sneak. Run the ball like a man.

Sent Cru a reply PM yesterday saying I would be around all day to play our game, didn't hear back from him. Also didn't see him online the few times I checked on Live. I'm available pretty much all of today as well.

He fumbled once in season one. I was so incredulous that I challenged it even though it was a clear fumble. :D

The 99 carry is definitely a huge luxury, only a couple of other backs have one that high (Michael Turner and Mikel Leshoure are the only two I know for sure).

Only reason I'm willing to move him is that Stevan Ridley is getting to be almost as good (95 carry now).
 
Yea he hasn't turned his head because he's been that step behind. It def sseemed like last year he was a step ahead. That's what happens in the nfl tho. Guy has a good rookie year then the rest of the league has their chance to study him, find all his wweaknesses and attack him. It happens to all good players, and the great players find a way to combat that.

I have faith in my boy devin. he's def playing hurt with a separated shoulder, an awful injury for a football player especially a corner who needs to be able to lift his arm at any moment. But he's gonna figure it out, otherwise ill have to sell his jersey that I bought

Maybe we'll find that emasculation is sufficient deterrent. :D

Can someone text Cru? That seems to be the only way to get in touch with him these days.
 
[quote name='PacerPerspect']I see the Falcons are on. They have a much better record than the Redskins (6-3), but I really want to get this game in.[/QUOTE]

The Falcons are going to sub for the Redskins shortly.

If that works for BigAT, sounds like we should be able to advance sometime this afternoon/early evening.

Is uber still commish? I know he was looking for someone else to advance us today (and I couldn't).

Does that mean trade talks need to have a final submission prior to advancement?
 
Eh. Tell you what.. Since I can't say for sure what time we're going to advance, we'll just say the deadline for trade submissions is Midnight EST tonight. As long as neither team plays their Week 11 game, you can still submit trades up to then.
