PitFall and I are unable to connect for some reason.

He's offered to allow me to play the cpu, but we wanted to make sure it was ok or to get a sub if possible, either way, I'd like to get this done asap...

[quote name='Superstar']It was a really good game. I hope we get to play again sometime![/QUOTE]

I wish you had trashed me, lol. The close at the end it was heartbreaking. :lol:
Thrilling game though, we'll have to play again even if not part of the season.
 
[quote name='Mr Grand Cru']Who is friends with shaneduncan , the seahawks owner ? I really wanna play our game today[/QUOTE]

Ballhawk knows him personally.
 
I have a question about how free agent pick ups go do we all get only 1 go thur the list that is made 3-4 weeks into the season or will we keep going thur the list a few times

and how we looking on mine and the texans trade
 
Him and ball hawk are brothers... I ain't sure y but he posted he ain't got the game yet he said he'll have it this week so if cru can play the cpu orders a sub that be good
 
[quote name='RamesuThe1']Alright....uber, could you boot pit so I can play tanabeo if tanabeo is avail right now...[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Tanabeo']yep im on just tell me when pit is booted so i can join as colts[/QUOTE]

I just sent uber a pm to boot pitfall...
 
Pitfall has been booted. He has a invite back.

Everyone give me an update on their games if you haven't yet.

Games left:
Saints (Ballhawk) vs Packers (Matt Young)
Steelers (Zurezo) vs Ravens (MasterAwesome)
Texans (Ramesu) vs sub Colts
Titans (n8) vs Jaguars (Savatage)
Bills (VeryCheapGame, yet to join) vs Chiefs (Doom)
Eagles (Pacer) vs Rams (Lister)
Seahawks (Shaneduncan, yet to join) vs 49ers (Cru)
Cowboys (Cobra) vs Jets (broadway)

VeryCheapGame and Shaneduncan need to check into the thread and join the league. I haven't heard from either yet. I know someone mentioned that Shaneduncan should know that we are up and running, but we can't wait forever on Week 1 and once we advance we'll need to start scheduling for Week 2. I'm going to alert the people up on the wait list that 2 teams may be opening up.
 
[quote name='VeryCheapGame']Bills here. Won't be able to login till early Tuesday.[/QUOTE]

Thanks. I do believe I recall seeing that earlier now that I think of it.

Doom, can you only play tomorrow? I have a feeling with the amount of games we have left we may have to make it for a Tuesday 8-9pm EST advance, which I'm fine with given that it's opening week. If you can only play Monday though we'll get you a sub.
 
Me and Zurezo keep missing each other...I'm sure we'll get our game in at some point tomorrow. I just messaged him asking for a time when he wants to play tomorrow so I don't know the details yet. I'm available ALL day so as long as he has a spare hour we'll be able to get our game in.

I pm'ed him before this message and he told me he wouldn't be able to play until Tuesday in the AM.

I got Darth to sub, we just finished our game.

[quote name='RamesuThe1']Slaton is 26 - C Potential
Benn is 24 or 25 - B Potential

*my fault*[/QUOTE]

I'm fine with this trade.

[quote name='Tanabeo']I have a question about how free agent pick ups go do we all get only 1 go thur the list that is made 3-4 weeks into the season or will we keep going thur the list a few times
[/QUOTE]

We'll only go through once for each free agent period. So whenever we decide to do the first period, we'll set up the order by inverse order of standings and then each person gets to pick up one player, and must also drop one (even if their roster is not full). Then when we do the next free agent period you'll be able to pick up another.

This seems like a good chance to give a refresher on the injury replacement rules as well: You are allowed to pick up an injury replacement for a player with a longterm injury (more than a couple of weeks) with the following caveats:

1) You must have sufficient need at that position. So if your starting RG gets injured, but you have 2 others on your roster, you can't pick up a replacement. This generally includes positions which are interchangable. So if you only have 2 ROLBs, and 1 gets injured, but you have 4 LOLBs, you should be fine.

2) The player you pick up must have a lower overall rating than the LOWEST overall player on your roster at that position, not just lower than the player he's replacing.

3) Once the injured player returns, you must drop the injury replacement.

4) Injury replacements are only for depth, not to improve some area of your team. For example, if your starting CB gets injured, and you pick up a very low rated CB who has a high KR rating, forgoing several other higher-rated overall options, that's not really in the spirit of the injury replacement rule.

I believe that's all that we said last year, but uber can correct me if I missed or mis-stated anything.
 
I just got back home from my long weekend....looking to schedule a time.

FWIW, I just sent a PM to the Rams.

Ill tell shaneduncan to get on the. Thread..... ballhawk is in Florida until oct 1 he needs a sub ......... I wrote a couple pages ago Shane will have the game this week.
 
Haven't heard from Savatage since he PM'd me on Saturday. Didn't see it till later in the evening, but I messaged him yesterday about playing last night or today, and I added him to my XBL friends. I noticed he accepted the friend request, but hasn't said anything about playing. I checked the OP and there's nothing listed for his availability. Hoping he'll be on tonight.
 
who am I playing uber sense shaneduncan doesn't have the game yet , I only have a small timeframe left to play this game ?

Can anyone sub here? How much longer can you play, Cru?
 
Cowboys/Jets game is done. I forget the exact score but I won by 10. It actually looked a lot like the real Cowboys/Jets game from last weekend. Pretty iffy offense and plenty of picks all around. I got lucky with my 2 picks, as they were both at least past the 50 yard line I believe, while Romo threw 3 of his from around his own 20. 1 was ran back by Harris and Cromartie and Revis almost ran back theirs as well. The field position battle is what pushed me over for the W. GG.
 
Ill send you a message around 8:30 doom , I believe I have company right now so it may be 9 pm , I got your number so I will text.

On another note is there like a maximum amount of sub games that a user or owner can have in a season , I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I was just wondering ?
 
[quote name='Doomtime']Yeah just let me know, if someone else is able to sub, be my guest. If not, I'll do it.[/QUOTE]

lol I wouldn't mind if another sub stepped up , I didn't plan on seeing you until the superbowl

lol AFC is still stacked. I'll be happy to make the playoffs.
 
Pacer Dominated me most of the game, but with him up 14-0 I hit a lucky long bomb to Mike Williams. Momentum went my way and I soon got a lucky pick six. Vick seemed to lose it for some reason and was missing throws by 15 feet. I picked him off a few more times and came out on top 21-14. It was a good game and I was dominated for more than half the game I just got a lucky 5 minute run in. Well played Pacer you had some really bad breaks.

Oh and for some reason our stats are not showing up from the game.
 
Oh Madden, I sure missed you......I lost 3 fumbles and had an important field goal blocked. I see what you guys mean about the field goal thing...although I think I've played 30+ games and that's the first time I've had a kick blocked. It didn't look like anything shady on Zurezo's part, but damn what a buzzkill having a field goal blocked in the 4th quarter to get within 7 points. Although that can be said of lost fumbles too.....lots of buzzkills for me that game. I forced 3 fumbles with Ray Lewis lol, but my team only recovered one of them (big boy Ngata returned it for a TD). One of my lost fumbles was that typical gay Madden crap where I have a player right next to the ball and he dives 6 feet over the ball and then the defender comes in for the recovery.

Zurezo really wore out his hit-sticking finger this game, although I can't blame him with those hard-hitting Steelers. Plus it was a rainy game...so that doesn't exactly help either. It used to be a lot harder to land a hit-stick, but now every hit-stick seems to land with ease. Basically 50% or more of hit sticks in the past would result in the defender just pushing the ball carrier backwards instead of tackling. You'd have to be in the perfect position and basically meet the ball-carrier head-on to land a hit stick in the past but now it seems like you can potentially land one at any angle. I sense a lot of gay games in the future with 2-3 fumbles for each team with the hit stick being as successful as it is.

And typical Ravens defense...allowing 200+ yards rushing on the ground (when a good 80% of those were blitz plays, and most of those blitz plays were blitzes on the same side as the rush). I don't understand how the Ravens do so well against the run (in real life) with 2 71 OVR DTs...Ngata is the only good part of their d-line but even he can't single-handedly stop the run. And the very mediocre Steelers CBs were absolutely blanketing every receiver I had...most of my catches were just pure luck. I just felt pretty helpless that game, but I've already brushed it off and am looking forward to the next one. I won't say "gg" since it was probably the sloppiest game I've ever witnessed in all my years of Madden...but good playing nonetheless Zurezo.

Steelers 34 Ravens 24
 
So I'm hoping we'll be scheduled for an early advance tomorrow evening. I'm about to pass out now so I can't check what's left but let me know if anyone has any issues.
 
Didn't hear from Savatage at all Sunday or Monday. I most likely won't be available until sometime this evening, so not sure what's going to happen with that. I just know I've had my availability in the OP from the get go, and I'm here posting in the thread. I've also been on the past several nights playing NHL, but haven't been contacted.

Ditto. It was truly a tale of two halves. I gambled for a user picks on the Mike Williams bomb and then made poor throws the rest of the game. Nice defensively adjustment.
 
Did a lot of you guys have games in the rain? I noticed that almost all my games were in the rain for my offline franchise. My first online one was in the rain and I see a couple of you are mentioning the rain too.
 
Since this seems to be the Madden thread. I copied the game to my HDD; however, it still sounds like it is accessing the disc a lot as my DVD drive seems rather noisy. Is this common? I have the older 120GB Phat Elite 360. I just found it odd that it seems like it accesses the disc more than other games when I copy to the HDD.
 
What do I do about my game with ballhawk since Sprice says the guy will not be back til October 1st? A sub would be fine, but I'd like for it to be even. I'm 1-0 against ballhawk, but if a guy like Doomtime or MasterAwesome subbed, I'd just get raped.

I think you and I have always had pretty even games so if you need a sub tonight hit me up.
 
Yeah Darth if you could play that would be great. I'll be on at 630 est if anyone needs to be booted I can do it then. Can someone play n8 as well? I'd like to get this wrapped by 8 so if you have yet to play your game, let me know what's up asap.
