[quote name='gbpackers94']Ugh. Why are waiting four weeks for him when we have 7 people on the waiting list?[/QUOTE]

He's been replaced by staticz. Sorry I didn't update the OP. His exact name is on the waiting list.

[quote name='Hell Monkey']I thought we just went to Week 3 this last Saturday/Sunday. We are on Week 4 already?[/QUOTE]Sunday.....Monday.....Tuesday......Wednesday....

[quote name='Darth0fTheDead']Bigat, I'll be good to play this evening, should be home within the hour.[/QUOTE]

Cool, PM me on here (it goes to my phone eventually) when you get in and we'll play.
 
Hell I didn't know we were advancing this fast, lol. I barely get to CAG anymore, I was coming around once a week to schedule a game. IF we're doing every 3-4 days, wow.
 
Chiefs over Vikings 45-0 in another hurricane.

Charles 26 ATT 200 YDs 4 TDs

Brandon Flowers out for 3 weeks with broken ribs :(

gg superstar
 
Patriots 21 - Raiders 0

For the second consecutive week, the Pats D didn't allow a single point (if only the real Pats D could play like this). The defense allowed only 151 total yards to the Raiders, along with coming up with two pick picks.

Tom Brady continued his slow start, going 10-15 for 90 yards, 1 TD and 1 pick.

It was once again all about the rushing game, as Danny Woodhead had another huge game, rushing 13 times for 136 yards and 2 TDs. Law Firm had 13 carries for 57 yards.

No Pats receiver had more than three catches, Ochocinco scored the TD.

gg man! I seem to have finally solved my rush defense issues (and not a minute too soon after getting carved up the first couple weeks).

We shall see about that rush defense;)

Considering that Charles already has a season's worth of rushing stats through 4 games, I have absolutely no delusions about stopping him.

The only "logical" thing I could think of would be to cheat the run the entire game and just make him beat you with Cassel. Easier said than done, I know. It's just ridiculous that he's pulling 200 yards a game with Charles. I know Ramses brought up the "running backward with a speedy RB to get to the outside" thing, which I've seen people do online and the only problem I can see with it is that the AI players take the shittiest routes to cut the player off and ALWAYS get beaten to the corner. Basically, if you don't switch to a nearby player and cut off the angle yourself, he's gone, because the AI gets fooled every time.

The problem is, there are so many little things in this game that are programmed wrong, you can't just tell people to stop doing everything. I hate that there are so many flaws in the programming that give unfair advantages. For example, once again, receivers NEVER go for the ball. Even in one on one coverage, they have no problem letting a DB just slide in front and take the ball away. This is one of the biggest reasons the passing game sucks so bad (along with LBs who could break Olympic high jump records). Then, there are plays you can't/shouldn't even use because they're so horrifically broken (ie: QB sneak, FG block, HB screen, etc).

It's crazy that EA is at the point where they don't even have to care about reviews anymore (which from what I saw were fairly critical) because the game will sell regardless. I feel like the only thing that will get them to actually try again is when the NFL exclusivity deal ends and other companies can make football games again. You have no idea how much I hate saying "I think Soodmeg was right", but God damn...lol.

I'm interested in seeing how you use Charles. I'm a huge Chiefs fan and can usually get about 125 with him online, but 200 a game consistently seems unreal!

Also...who is going after Hope Bromley in free agency? Someone must need a QB of the future!
 
Everything I do with Charles can be stopped easily, it just hasn't been yet. This game is so much different then 11, because there actually is a remedy for everything that I've seen so far(especially cheese plays)

There are so many picks now because no longer can people rely on easy slant routes to their tight ends over the middle. Adjustments actually need to be made.

If you don't make any adjustments on your defense before the snap, of course big plays are going to happen.

Picks are also up because linebackers are back to picking almost everything thrown in their direction. I've seen more circus picks by linebackers than I ever saw in '11.

You could do that in 11 too, it's just that zone was so broken someone would eventually get open every single time.

Guys like Cru and Masterawesome still cover the same ground with their linebackers as they did last year. Just helps that the zone has improved with it.
 
[quote name='Deuce20602']Jamaal Charles will be stopped.......................

Panthers/Bears appears to be getting played tomorrow evening[/QUOTE]

The question is... by who? Dun dun dun.

Either way, winning and keeping him healthy is more important to me.
 
Hey doom I hope I get another shot cause I finally found out y my defenders were so slow I had auto strafe on ..... I went out the other day to buy a new controller cause of that shit

You had to buy another controller too? Yeah auto strafe is wack. If we can both make Superbowl runs then we'll get that rematch, but we'll just have to see what happens.

I don't think you guys will get that re-match than because Sprice and his Lion's aren't coming out of the NFC, lol.
 
I bought a new controller because I thought it was the controller.... shit was iritating ...... cru ur 49ers don't have what it takes to knock off my lions.
 
There are a bunch of good players on the wire, should be exciting. Almost makes me wish I'd started the season off a little more slowly.
 
Ultimate Matt X, when do you want to play our game? I've got some plans tonight, so I doubt I'll be available. I can do pretty much any time tomorrow though. If that works for you, just name a time, and I should be able to make it. If tomorrow isn't good, I can also play Saturday, but probably not until the evening hours. Just let me know.

I concur...
 
Doom is fully capable of beating people with Cassal. I clamped down Charles early on pretty darn well. When I started to relax to start to defend the pass more, he lit me up on the ground. Then I knew he could pass and run and had to try to deal with both.

It's a hard combo to stop and I give him many props.
 
Bears 38
Panthers 13

score was not indicative of the game that was actually played... two fumbles returned for touchdowns plus a miracle TD pass to end the first half accounted for 21 of the Bears 38 but hats off to their D for creating chaos. My O-line wouldnt pick up the outside rushers for some odd reason throughout the game. Had a decent offensive showing until I had to play catchup but these Panthers are resilient and dangerous so this wont happen very often. GG Mog

Yeah you did shut him down early. I'm decent with Cassel, he's just a statue in the pocket which is why I rely on the run game more. Thanks for the props though. I'm looking forward to our rematch.
 
SEA 31
ATL 14

Lynch had another great game with 166yds while Leon Washington picked up 66 on 7 (I think) carries.

Good game man, the torrential downpour made passing impossible!
 
Falcons 14
Seahawks 31
I couldn't do anything through the air, Matt Ryan is useless, he could barely throw the ball 40 yards. It also seems like they gave gave Marshawn Lynch his rating based on 1 play. He was breaking tackles left and right and was outrunning my whole defense, even though he only had 573 yds last year and 6 TDs. I now know what you guys mean by running backwards on runs to the outside. I'm not saying that staticz did that a lot, but the few times he did it, it was almost unstoppable. I understand that there is a way to stop it, but it seems pretty cheap anyways and I think we should consider banning it. Anyways, good game Staticz.

Matt Ryan is on the block.
Looking for fast LB's and decent young QBs.

Running laterally on a toss play is pretty normal, watch a pro game everyone runs to get to the outside. It only worked because I was in I-tight and you had 8 in the box and my TEs sealed off. Want to stop a toss, run a CB blitz. I have ATL in another league and know how slow their LBs are, I used that knowledge to my advantage.

If we are going to ban something completely subjective then we should ban toss plays so it is 'fair' for everyone.

I agree, it can be stopped and shouldn't be banned. It's not broken like the qb sneak.

Eh, I guess I'm alone on this one. Statement redacted. It's pretty damn frustrating when it happens though :bomb:.

I understand the frustration, especially when going through the pains of figuring it out.

Just do the presnap adjustments. Blitz your corner and shift your line or linebackers to the side he's going to toss to. Your corner will meet him and your linebackers will stop the cutback.

Oh, I was just putting the strong side DE on QB contain. It kind of worked. Thanks for the tip.

Contains will work in anything other than a strong tight (2 TE on the right side). Best bet is to shift LBs and blitz a corner. I also user the safety but, just like you burned me before the 2nd half, that is a big risk big reward if you suck at it like I do.

Line shifts will make contains useless as well.
 
I've found that controlling the strongside linebacker and shadowing the ball carrier along the LOS helps on the outside runs. Just don't overpursue or guess the wrong hole, and you should be able to set the edge effectively enough. You might still get burned sometimes, but you won't be giving up 10-15 ypc.
