Madden 13 Official CAG League - On Hiatus. See you in August for Madden 25!

It's taking every bone in my body to not quit this stupid fucking league. I took a cab home from a work dinner to lose 40+ to 7. I'm leaving for the airport in 7 hours and still haven't packed, but I'm playing this god awful fucking game. fuck this.
 
I quit. Both this league and the game. Dude ran back a pick up 30something with 20-40 secs left in the game. Chetty went above and beyond and waited for me to get online tonight. It's my fault I'm busy not the leagues. But I'm not dealing with getting shit on AND people running up the score. It's too much. Chetty GG, you're leagues above me. Pretty much everyone is though these days. Good luck to all. BV, boot me when you get the chance.
 
Really Iberia? I not only changed my sleeping schedule to accommodate you, but then you were an hour late to the game and you rage quit with 30 seconds left? Thanks for completely being a dick and making my time a complete waste, I truely appreciate it. Wiped out Peterson's 4 interception game with a td.
 
Ravens embarrassed the Steelers 77-17

Aug just flat out dominated in every aspect of the game, i did go for it on 4th downs a couple of times once was on his 48ish and another on my 48ish, it was already a blowout, and i figured it would be pretty much the same thing as punting since i was out of field goal range.

GG Aug.

The fact that this is what you choose to care about tells me pretty much everything I need to know about this situation.

I tried running the clock down. I could of had a potential pick 6 earlier in fourth. I slid instead, ran down the clock, and then you came out aggressivley. Running hurry up trying to get another score. You threw a pick to Peterson with no one infront of him.
 
My FA pick-up:

Panthers drop WR Keoloha Pilares
Panthers sign ROLB Julian Stanford

Although Stanford pretty much stinks at every relevant LB stat (66 tackle, 62 block shedding, 70 pursuit, 42 man, 54 zone)...he's an athletic freak. 85 speed, 88 agility, 91 acceleration, and 97 jumping....yes 97 jumping for a freaking LB lol, can't pass that up!! And he's a rookie too...this move made no sense for me at all considering LB is my strongest position too, but I figure I might be able to user this guy down the line if I at least get his tackling up.

Usually when a player gets 4 interceptions, it should be a point of emphasis, kind of how you have been making Tracy porters big games known to everyone. None of my other players stood out. I truely could care less about the stats. What I care about is totally changing my sleep schedule for him. Then waiting an extra hour for him. Then to waste another hour because he can't wait 30 seconds

I know uber has been frustrated with his play for a while, and obviously it's not 100% on you. But he's poured more into making this league what it is over the past few years than anyone, myself included. In all that time I've never known him to rage quit a game, so if this was the one which made him do it I have a hard time believing it was for absolutely nothing. Not that rage quitting is ever the answer, but I'm inclined to be sympathetic to him given his role in this league.

In short, I understand you are frustrated as well, but this is probably an instance where the smart move is to let it go and just play the CPU.
 
I'm not trying to indict or criticize Chetty, just so we're clear here. He's been a model citizen since he came into the league, and I don't think he's in the wrong here either. I just don't want this to become a bigger thing than it needs to be, it's certainly not worth losing one of our commissioners over.
 
[quote name='GpNinja']77-17... Ok don't we have a don't run the score rule up? When does this go into affect when your up by 60??[/QUOTE]

We do, and I'd certainly like an explanation for this as well. Though knowing Mog's offense, it's entirely possible this was the score at the end of the half.

I think being up by 21 is enough and if your shutting down your oppenent's offense. Then just run and punt.

We'll take a look at the box score to see what happened. If either player wants to provide some info on it as well, that would be appreciated.

This is how the game played out. My last pass was a touchdown throw to Sanders in the 3rd quarter to make it 26-7. He had a 3 and out and punted to me. To start the fourth, i had a big run with Ryan Williams for a touchdown to make it 33-7. On the next kickoff, he calls for a fair catch on his four yard line(no clue why) and he ends up fumbling with his qb to make it 40-7. The next possession he throws an interception that i could have taken back, but there was 3 minutes left so i had my player lay down when i got into my own territory. I did three straight rushes up the middle with my 3rd rb and then kicked a field goal. There was about a 1:50 left in the game and he came out aggressively, playing hurry up and threw the last interception. I was not trying to run up the score or disrespect him but it's completely infuriating to totally change my schedule just for him to rage quit. I have no knowledge of him or that he is frustrated, in all my messages with him he seemed excited to get the game in. I understand nothing will come of this except a replay against the cpu, but it's extremely frustrating to be that accommodating for him like that and for him to turn it into a complete waste of my time.

I completely understand your frustration, and again I'm not saying you're in the wrong here. I just think it'd be best to let this one go.
 
I took a look at the Ravens-Steelers box score. Mog didn't score at all in the 4th, and given the 77 points he scored in the first three quarters I'm sure he could have if he wanted to. I know the scoreline seems obscene, but it does seem obvious to me that he eased off the gas, and aftershock also didn't seem to have a problem with how the game went. No one likes to see score lines like this, but I don't think mog did anything wrong here.

I just feel that the running up the score doesn't seem to have a certain bar so to say. Like say if somebody else plays a similar game. Say the person that lost complains and the person that won say's well mog had 77 points and yall didn't say anything. Idk thats how I look at things lol
 
I definitely fucked up, Chetty, and admitted as much. You were great help setting up the game when I had a very short window to play it. But I called hurry up and ran the clock down every other play, not a traditional hurry up. And forgive me for trying to score a TD down 30. But the run back was dick on your part too. I threw the pick and sat there, waiting for you to run out. Didn't happen. You ran the entire length of the field essentially. Im definitely to blame. More so than you, but you're not blameless
IMO.

i also could see this as a future problem

Yeah I just got the email. I don't see a way to delete my messages from my phone so ill have to clear them out tomorrow morning. Ill p.m you when I've cleared my inbox.


Edit: I figured out how to do it from my phone, so it should be open

You're right, there isn't a certain bar to it. Every situation is unique, and context is important, which is why I look at the individual game situation in these cases. If mog had kept scoring in the 4th quarter, I would feel differently, but it seems obvious to me (and fero as well when he looked at it) that mog made an effort to ease up, which is all that we ask. Sometimes there is just a huge mismatch on the field and these scores are unavoidable.

Trust me, nobody wishes scores like this didn't happen more than I do, but all there are some players in this league (and mog is one of them) that are just better than everyone else. They're going to win most of their games, often times by huge margins. All I can ask of them is that they not rub their opponents face in it, and it seems obvious to me looking at the stat sheet that mog didn't do so here.

Sprice also won his game 52-0, but again didn't score in the 4th. I don't think it's worth having a witch hunt unless people are clearly running it up, and these guys have both been in the league long enough to know not to do that.

What would you guys hoping to see happen here though? I can't order mog to be less great at Madden.

K, thanks.
 
No it wasnt anything close to running up the score, it was more like ravens run back a kickoff ravens run back a punt ravens run back a interception, steelers score, ravens score again and again and again, he was not running up the score at all, if anything he was trying not to, which i commend because ray rice could have easily scored at least 2 more touchdowns and he slid, but he just outplayed me on every aspect, no running up, it was more like he had no choice but to score, if that makes any sense.
 
im just curious to know whats gonig to happen if someone else has a simliar game such as they just had and someone quits then its just a bunch of he did this and no i didnt with no proof of anything. i understand that people are alot better than others and we cant just be like punt the ball on first becuz ur lead is so big then the fun stops for the guys that are really good. its just hard to say what could happen in the future fro ma rage quit leaving no proof for someone to defend what they did or didnt do to cause the rage quit in this type of situation.

personally ive had my ass kicked pretty bad in madden 12 by guys like doom, aog, Ma and all them but i was new to the league and had a horrible team and well it never bothered me really to get man handled in the games as i was leanring as quickly as i coudl to try and keep up with anyone i could. but ive never complained or rage quit but it could happen to someone that just feels like the person is being a dick

Rage quitting in indefensible in any case, which is why I should be kicked out or put on a major warning. Chetty was a dick for running it up with no time left, but no need for me to quit the game.

We're going to address each situation on its own like we always have, that's really all we can do. The other commissioners and I have all played more than enough Madden to recognize running up the score when we see it. When it's happened in the past, we've always dealt with it. Which we'll continue to do in the future.

Rage quitting is never the answer, partially because if you do that you're not going to be able to prove what you said happened did happen, as you point out. ubernes knows that better than anyone, and obviously he didn't set a very good example. Knowing him as I do, I'm sure if he does decide to stay he's going to give himself a strike for doing it. But I definitely don't expect to have much sympathy if anyone tries a "well, uber did it" excuse.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']Come on Uber, you gotta at least see what happens in year 2.[/QUOTE]

TBD. Flying out of town in 5 hours, we'll see if I bump into Sean Payton on the streets of New Orleans and maybe he can give me a pep talk.
 
just my input.... anyone who continues to throw the ball in a blowout is pretty much calling a timeout as i run the clock.... i dont see how u can get mad if ur losing with 20 to 40 seconds left and throw a pick 6 ..... run the ball end the game no problams... i got blown out by doom last week i threw the ball till the end.... if he beat me by 100 thats my fault not his.... xp points are huge on this game and i woulda ran that pick back to.... against apple towards the end i punted in scoring posistiin twice.... he continued to throw the ball i picked it and ran it back to the 5 i would of ran it back if he aint get tackled..... i dont see it being disrespectful if u show me ur gonna run the ball and want the game over ill also end it quicker.... but if ur gonna continue to pass its a green light that u should accept a pick 6 regardless the score

I can confirm this.

I also have yet to pick up a free agent which I plan to do later when I get off work.
 
In reference to the talks about running the score up and not running the clock down late, If your my opponent and your blowing me out I prefer you to just keep the pedal to the metal it is nothing more frustrating than losing by thirty and watching you run the clock down every play and then run three straight dives, smh that is more frustrating than losing by 100 and I know this because I have lost by 100 one time lol and I still had fun.

I do want it to be known though I do usually come off the gas once I have a lead in my games to be a good sportsman, but I always wonder if my opponent is bored and feels like me on the subject.

i agree in some ways. i will not pass at all if im winning usually in less its like 3rd and 15 or something that way its less of a chance for me to run up the score but if i get a int and can take it to the house i probably will. just like any player would in real life and just like any player in this league would probably do!!

im sure majority would house it.... like i said against doom if i continued pass untill the end which i did regardless losing 49-21 id expect him to house it...
 
it really depends on the situation for me whether i care or not. if im already getting blown out id rather the guy keep going so i can try and learn from wut hes able to do and try and fix it. but if its a close game im down by 3 or so and he can wrap the game up with a knee and goes endzone then im kinda pissed. but ive had my share of ass kickings in this league and would get bored when i just ahd to sit there. but if im up and its 3rd and 10 i might pass but if i have a big enough lead i will usually go towards the run
