Madden 12 Official CAG League - On official hiatus until Madden 13.

[quote name='bvharris']Go 49ers! A loss by the Texans would allow me to clinch a bye by winning my next two games.[/QUOTE]

Yea I need the texans to lose too, all three seasons I've been in the league, ramesu has had a brutally tough back end schedule. No offense to anyone but mine is not nearly as tough as his. Although I do hope u lose one of the next two games bv so ur game against ramesu means something...
 
[quote name='BSETI50']Nebody in here play nhl? I'm lookin for someone to give me a challenge in that gane againsst my bruins.[/QUOTE]

I haven't played in months, but I still have it. Flyers!
 
Man, I would LOVE to hand out some beatings to people in NHL for the beatings I take in here, lol.

And Matt, the versus league isn't dead. There are just a handful of people who were hard to get games with. Cheapy signed up, but he was tough getting in touch with considering the time difference and everything. And Wpark doesn't post very often. I think the only other person with games left is you. That league was never meant to have hard deadlines, but I'd love to move on to the playoffs. Just wasn't sure when it would be appropriate to cut the dead weight.

k, cool. You've got a tough first game against the Bears (augmog), so you can go ahead and get in contact with him.
 
I've set the deadline as Monday night, but it would be excellent if we could knock this out tomorrow.

Bengals-Pats kicks off shortly.
 
I PMed Ballsohard this morning. I don't want to have to sim this, as it's a crucial game for me. So is anyone available to be on standby on Monday, just in case? I know the Raiders have had a few sims lately.
 
New England Patriots 45 - Cincinnati Bengals 7

After several lower scoring contests in a row, the Patriots finally busted out of their mini-funk in a big way, putting up 45 on the Bengals with a combination of fantastic rushing from Cobie Ross and BenJarvus Green-Ellis (ironically, now a Bengal in real life) and good passing by McCoy. Other than one long Bengals drive in the 2nd quarter (which made the game 10-7 at the time), the Pats defense played pretty great as well. Total team effort.

Colt McCoy was 12 of 16 for 150 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs. With two consecutive great games, he seems to have righted the ship after his mid-season funk.

Andy Dalton was 8 of 22 for 78 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis gets his name first this week, he put on a show for his future NFL fans, taking a mere 6 carries for 158 yards and 2 TDs. Cobie Ross was no slouch himself, carrying 12 times for 154 yards and a score. This is the 2nd time this season that both backs went for over 100.

DeAngelo Williams was mostly quiet for the Bengals, carrying 14 times for 33 yards.

Gronkowski had 7 catches for 62 yards and 2 TDs, while Roddy White finally got involved and had a big game, catching 4 balls for 79 yards and a TD - including a 43 yard score when McCoy recognized a blitzing corner and threw it deep (might have been his first pass which went 20 yards in the air all season, lol).

Old friend Chad Ochocinco lead the Bengals with 4 catches for 47 yards and a TD - nice to see him still alive and kicking!

The Patriots got two picks by Jimmy Wilson (the Pats were in the dime pretty much all day with the Bengals running 4-wide) and a sack by former Bengal Michael Johnson (acquired in the Ocho trade).

The Bengals were able to sack McCoy twice.

gg itlnstln!

Pats move to 12-0, coming into the home stretch of their season. Very gratifying to see the whole team put together such a good effort, and especially nice to see such a big week from Law Firm, who is having a very nice season as Ross' backup.

Too soon to get concerned yet, but it goes without saying we won't be simming it if you're attempting to play, which you clearly are.

Only 3 games played so far.. step on it fools!

I'm sorry, BV, I have to do this...as this thought just occurred to me while addressing the concept of "nano blitzing" in the JV League. How is moving your LB back and forth before the snap any different from somebody taking their kick returner and moving him backward, and then running forward so he's at full speed when he catches the ball? Does this not prove that players who are already moving get a much better jump? That's something that the various nano blitzing videos on Youtube actually do show. It's not just that it confuses the AI, but the players are much quicker off the snap because they're already moving. If we're going to use the argument that "nobody does that" to ban the kick returning play, I feel like the same thing should apply to continuously moving ANY player pre-snap.

You don't really at all, but it's fine.

Defensive players are allowed to be in motion at the snap in the NFL, it's only the offense which has to be stationary (only one offensive player can move at a time once the QB is under center IIRC). You see defenders trying to time the snap count all the time. Guys obviously don't move laterally like I do, but they certainly fake in and out towards the line all the time. You're right that somebody already in motion is going to be moving faster than somebody who is stationary, but that's not an exploit, it's just physics.

There's a difference between what I do, which is manually moving one linebacker, and shaking the entire set back and forth continuously, which is known as shake blitzing, and is considered a form of nano blitzing. The AI isn't capable of blocking that, which is why it's banned, my motion of the linebacker doesn't provide the same advantage. I've seen both in action, they're not comparable, we already discussed the differences between them months ago.

As for the kickoff return, my recollection of the rule was only that you couldn't run out the back of the endzone and then forward, which is what people were doing. I don't think we ever said that the returner had to be completely stationary, after all shorter kicks are often fielded in stride automatically. Returners field kicks in stride all the time in the NFL.

sounds like a great game....
 
[quote name='sprice8688']sounds like a great game....[/QUOTE]

it was.... my squad just seemed out of it for a while, then in the 3rd i think, his QB went down with a broken jaw and that gave us new life... i hate playing Ramesu cuz we have a similar style and it makes it seem like he's in the huddle when we call plays... pulled this one out tho.

The 49ers are still undefeated at home...

thank you
 
[quote name='BSETI50']thank you[/QUOTE]

Seconded. With the Texans loss, the Pats can now clinch a first-round bye before even entering their brutal home stretch if they win next week against the Bills.
 
i need to win out unless ramesu loses again. not that it really matters i mean were both probably gonna make it to the wild card round barring a collapse
 
May need a sub for my game. No response to my PM or xbox live messages.

Apparently he's been on CAG.

If it's pushed to tomorrow, it will have to wait until the late evening.
