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

Not open for further replies.
the QB sneak is definately not an automatic conversion on an inches play... I have Cam Newton who's 6'6, 250 lbs and he gets stuffed on the play more times than i care to remember so I dont see why it's still banned. The is no speed boost anymore... the QB doesnt even stay upright, they attempt to dive forward and that seems to happen in slow motion.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']Yeah it is in slow motion. Seems fine to me now since the patch[/QUOTE]

It is much slower now and easier to stop if you control the FS and plug the hole.

Also, if anybody needs run stopping tips, PM me and in exchange I need passing tips. haha

I cannot get anything going on offense right now and its really messing with my head. I miss Mike Wallace (he not hurt, just cant pass)
 
id take him off ur hands of he dont work out for ya lol... tip number 1 gotta read the defense know there coverage and have 2 targets available and 2 try not to throw picks.... i enjoy trying to shred defenses and often i take shots i shouldnt and they bite me in the ass later in the game
 
Can we get some status updates on these games:

Raiders-Packers
Eagles-Dolphins (who can tank for the #1 pick harder? ;) )
Colts-Ravens
Texans-Bengals
Bills-Chargers
Giants-Cowboys
Rams-Seahawks
 
[quote name='bvharris']Why didn't I think of that? ;)[/QUOTE]

lol i was only gonna write dont throw picks jokingly but i aint want him to think i was bein a dick so i gave good advice first and left that for 2nd
 
Packers/Raiders looks like it will be going down tomorrow. We've been PM'ing and he's got stuff to do tonight, so I responded last night and suggested that we play tomorrow afternoon.
 
Raiders-Packers is a huge game for both teams. A loss for Oakland pretty much spells doom for their playoff hopes.

And Green Bay would be back by one game to the Bears with a loss here.

Lame there's no spectator mode.

Same can be said about the Bengals and Bills. Must wins
 
Yeah, considering the Steelers and Pats both won, the other AFC contenders really can't afford any losses if they want to stay in it.
 
Here's an interesting scenario I am unsure about.

If the Bills win out they'd be 11-5 with a division record of 5-1 and conference record of 8-4.

The Pats would be 11-5 with a division record of 4-2 and conference record of 8-4.

Let's say the Raiders and Jets also end up 11-5. Both with 8-4 conference records. The Jets lose out on the division record though.

The Pats and Jets both beat the Raiders.

The Raiders beat the Bills.

Pats and Jets split. Bills and Pats split. Bills beat Jets twice.

Who gets left out in this scenario? I may be making it more complicated then it really is
 
Bills would win the division in that scenario, since they'd have the division record edge over the Pats. I believe it would come down to the common games tie-breaker between the Pats and the Jets for the WC, which assuming the Jets lost to the Giants would go in favor of the Pats who would have split with the Bills where the Jets were swept. Raiders would be on the outside looking in since they lost to both the Pats and Jets.

Edit: Nevermind, I wasn't factoring in the Pats' loss to the Chargers. I think that one might need the strength of victory tie-breaker.
 
So can someone step up and sub for the Colts? His record is 2-10 I believe...I'm not too picky though, I'll take anyone with a .500 or below record preferably! I can play at any point today from here on out.
 
One advantage I have at the moment is a head to head win vs. the Bears, so I do hold that tiebreaker now with one game left between the 2 teams. But since Chicago played the CPU this week, I need a win for that tiebreaker to matter.

This is much better than going something like 3-12-1 my first season of Madden 11, regardless.

bills just lost so idk about that scenario
 
[quote name='bvharris']I've got a sub-.500 record (in the other league).[/QUOTE]

Same!! I wouldn't mind you subbing though if no one speaks up in the next hour or so...assuming you're available?
 
[quote name='Matt Young']But since Chicago played the CPU this week, I need a win for that tiebreaker to matter.[/QUOTE]

Wait, what? I thought siradam was subbing for venom.. Nobody signed off on a CPU game that I'm aware of.

[quote name='damailman2272']bills just lost so idk about that scenario[/QUOTE]

I could hug you.

[quote name='MasterAwesome']Same!! I wouldn't mind you subbing though if no one speaks up in the next hour or so...assuming you're available?[/QUOTE]

I'm still at work but I was going to go home shortly. I don't think I'd be a fair sub though, someone else should do it.
 
My Record is well below .500 in this league. I'm already subbing in CAGFL3 but if we can time it right, I can sub against MasterAwesome.
 
[quote name='VeryCheapGame']Here's another scenario:

Bills beats Pats in the last week of the season to eliminate them from the playoff race.

I like this a lot.[/QUOTE]

If I win my next two games, I'll clinch a spot before we even play.

so do i cause u give me a chance to get back in the race cause i play the packers week 17 seeking revenge

Yeah it isn't fair to let bv sub so I'll sub instead

When are you wanting to play? I could sub in like 30-45 minutes if that works.
 
I'd prefer to play my game as soon as possible, but if no one else can sub then yeah sure I'll wait for you LVP and we can play tonight when you're done with your other game.

CHICAGO DID NOT PLAY THE CPU. I subbed for Venom. Mog Kicked my ass into the ground. We played at 7pm est last night. cru/deuce/mog were on voicecomm with me while we played.
 
[quote name='n8rockerasu']When are you wanting to play? I could sub in like 30-45 minutes if that works.[/QUOTE]

Yeah n8 30-45 min will work good for me...usually we have a rule against people subbing for someone in the same division as them (you can imagine why), but I dunno if it'd apply in this case since you're both out of the playoff race anyways. If BV is OK with it then I'll play against you, but if not then I'll just wait tonight and play against LVP or anyone else who wants to step up and play before then. I really don't HAVE to play soon...it's really just a selfish desire to want to get my game in now cause I'm itching to play! So whatever BV decides.

Ok, I've gotta run the wife to the store real quick, but I'll get on as soon as I get back.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation.

Fine by me. As you say, obviously the normal division conflicts of interest aren't really in play here.

[quote name='Doomtime']Yeah I don't know if 10-6 is good enough to make the playoffs in this league. It's going to take a lot of help from other teams.[/QUOTE]

10-6 is definitely not going to get it done in the AFC, unless several teams collapse down the stretch.

The Bills loss is huge for both the Pats and Jets. I'm actually now in a position where I could clinch the division in Week 16 if I beat the Broncos and then the Dolphins and the Jets lose to the Giants. Even if the Jets win, I'd still clinch at least the WC. Since a bye will probably be out of reach, I would probably end up resting starters in Week 17. I'm not about to get ahead of myself and overlook the Broncos/Dolphins though. :D

What's even creepier..is that potentially...both of these games are against me.
 
[quote name='siradam134']What's even creepier..is that potentially...both of these games are against me.[/QUOTE]

Well, we'll see. I think we might still need to apply the "no division subbing" rule since the Broncos-Pats game has playoff implications, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I thought Venom was only going to miss 2 games?
 
I wasn't calling you a liar, Adam. I knew you posted several times stating that you were named as a replacement, but I just didn't think you actually got to play this time. I didn't think anyone would run up the score like that unless facing the CPU.
 
nobody said anything about a liar, matt, just setting the record straight is all.

8 interceptions tend to do that to a game. he wasn't running it up. I played like I always do. a moron.

8 game's in 4 days has really showed me how bad of a player i am;-/

are u having trouble adjusting to the new defense adjustments??? last yr i couldnt catch u for most tds with the quarterback
 
[quote name='Doomtime']Can it be done from the website?[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure it can't be done from site. Like I said...no biggie, I can easily play tonight. If LVP still wants to sub tonight then I can play him since he spoke up first...what time can you play LVP? 7:40 p.m. EST I think is when you get home from work?
 
[quote name='MasterAwesome']If LVP still wants to sub tonight then I can play him since he spoke up first...what time can you play LVP? 7:40 p.m. EST I think is when you get home from work?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, he gets home around then. He's subbing against me in the other league though, so we should probably play that first since the deadline over there is tonight. I'll ask him to stay on and play you after.
 
If you want to play RIGHT NOW, I'm home and can sub. That's entirely up to you though since you're entitled to a more fair sub if you want to wait.
