"The Replacements" - Madden 10 Fantasy League Season 3; Super Bowl

I played my game last night and I think I scored just about every way possible. I had a:

-rushing TD
-passing TD
-field goal (58 yarder!)
-punt returned for a TD
-missed field goal returned for a TD
-defensive TD on an interception return

No safeties. :(
 
[quote name='seen']SoulReaver and Xxxplosive1 please do not hold us up again with last minute scheduling and playing of games.[/QUOTE]
Sorry, like I said, I had a hold up with schoolwork. I literally had 4 tests on the same day, and I really need to turn around my grades.
 
[quote name='IvanHood']Hey Commander, can you play our game tonight? I can play pretty much any time after 9:00 or 10:00 EST.[/QUOTE]



Yup after 9 is fine with me....
 
So, uh, what's the hold up now? This is why I'm a fan of set deadlines. You can't just get on people to play when it's convenient for you. For week 12, we barely get 24 hours to set our game up, but now in week 14, there hasn't been a post made in this thread in 41 hours and it's fine? Explain that to me.
 
We'll be advancing this evening shortly after SNF unless there are games in progress.

New schedule: (all dates are final with the exception of the playoffs which are subject to change; however we will advance ahead of schedule if all games are played before the end date).

Week 15 11/23-11/26
Week 16 11/27-11/29
Week 17 11/30-12/3

Wildcard Round 12/4-12/5
Divisional Round 12/6-12/7
Conference Championships 12/8-12/9
Superbowl 12/10-12/12

Nice. I like this. The playoff rounds seem a little quick, but I doubt I'll be making it deep into the playoffs anyway, haha.
 
I believe we have each other week 15 Ivan. When would you like to play? Monday, should be good as long as I'm not sleeping, Tuesday, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. Thinking it might be better later at night (say between 11 or midnight if that's possible). Wed, I'm working, so late night will probably be the only thing possible, Thursday might be a no go.

Tomorrow night around 11:00 EST should work for me. I might also be around during the day tomorrow, but let's shoot for 11:00 tomorrow night.
 
The only thing I would say is that you probably ought to take into account the Thanksgiving holiday. It's probably going to be harder to schedule games for a couple of days if people are traveling, etc.

Grand Cru, we're scheduled for week 15. Are you going to be around tomorrow to play our game?
 
I have said this before and will mention it again. If anyone has an issue with something or someone and/or has schedule constraints in the near future, if you let me know ahead of time via PM I will do my best to work with you.
 
Hey seen, If I win out the rest of the season I'll be at 13-3. If this puts me in the Wildcard, I won't be able to play on the 4th, and I'll have MAYBE a couple hours on the 5th. I have my 2nd go at the SATs (get my scores back for attempt#1 Tuesday) so I'll be out of the picture for a few days. Just letting you know in advance.

That works pretty well actually. 11 it is. I "might" be playing xbox earlier in the day, so if you happen to see me on and want to play then, just shoot me a message. Otherwise, expect to see you at 11.

Also, just noticed the other dates, for week 16, I probably won't be able to do until late that Sunday night. Just started working at Target not to long ago, and as you can imagine, that weekend is going to be a real fucker. At least it's CPU.
 
Week 15 games remaining:
ubernes vs CPU
Commander0zero vs CPU
SoulReaver vs CPU
Xxxplosive1 vs CPU
Azumangaman vs CPU

seen vs pitfallharry219
JStryke vs Ivanhood
BigAT vs Mr Grand Cru

Please play your games, otherwise I'll sim any un-played games and send-out warnings evening of 11/26.
 
Is this when I cheer for Seen to beat pitfall to keep any slim playoff hopes alive?

Two things. I can't believe it's not butter(fingers). The fumbles I experienced in both games (we both froze up in the first one) was crazy. The second, I'm glad I have a day job. I won't be needing to quit it anytime soon. :razz:
 
Live cut off on me in the 4th Quarter of my CPU game and I had a pop up screen that said the stats wouldn't report. I won that game 35-0. I replayed the game and won 38-7 i think. I just wanted to let you guys know so you wouldnt think there was any funny business.

It was super close, but I pulled out the win.
 
[quote name='seen']I actually advanced us to week 16 last night. Sorry about not updating the thread![/QUOTE]

Oh, cool. Were all the games played, then?
 
Everyone got their game except for SoulReaver who held us up by not communicating; otherwise we would have advanced Tuesday.

Wait...I'm confused. SoulReaver had a game against the CPU for week 15, and according to the schedule you made, week 16 wasn't supposed to start till tomorrow. Not that I mind, I'm just trying to keep up with the deadlines.
 
Mentioned earlier, but working tomorrow and Saturday, I probably won't be able to get my game in until Sunday. Depending how things are Saturday afternoon before leaving for work, I "may" be able to get it in then, but no guarantees.
 
I had messaged him yesterday asking if he intended to play his game amidst all his hours of COD4 he was logging (as he was the only person who did not play yet). He never responded so I could only think he did not care about playing his game; he got the win anyway.
 
Week 16 games remaining: (nice work to everyone who played already!)
IvanHood vs CPU
pitfallhary219 vs CPU
JStryke vs CPU

Ah, ok. That makes sense. Just seemed weird that THAT was the game to cause problems, haha. I think he mentioned in Azu's league about getting bored with Madden though, so it's not too surprising. Good job moving things forward.
 
I never got the messages seen, sorry for holding up the league. I forgot about it advancing.


And I left Wednesday night for vacation and didnt return till a few hours ago...
 
I doubt you're holding us up soulreaver. I haven't been able to play my game at all (work this weekend was brutal). I'll be playing mine sometime sunday afternoon shortly after I wake up (so probably around 4 or so).
 
Hey I'm actually out of town til Monday evening so my Cpu game can be simmed unless somehow I Get in contact with my roomate and have him play it.
 
We haven't advanced yet. I'm guessing we will after seen/ubernes' game gets finished as that's the final human game that is unplayed, aside from Grand Cru's which he explained above.
 
I hope the same deadline leniency is extended for those 2 day playoff turnarounds. It kinda defeats the purpose of having deadlines, but I don't mind as long as everything is consistent. Weird that this week needed an extra day since we even advanced a day early.
 
Not that strange. Thanksgiving / Black Friday weekend causes a lot of people to be busy. I had to work long days Friday and Saturday so didn't get my game into last night actually myself.

Yeah, that's true. I guess it's been easier for me because my last 5 games of the season are against the CPU. I definitely agree with holding off when it's a human vs human game remaining though, since most of those are pretty important.
 
I caught the dreaded RROD today so I'm going to be out inactive until I get my 360 back. I still want to participate in the league so can you just put me on vacation mode or something until I get it back? Thanks.
I'm shipping it out tomorrow morning so I may try the towel trick tonight, so if it works I will play this weeks game tonight so put me on vacation mode tomorrow. Thanks
 
We've advanced. Everyone is playing the CPU this week.

Xxxplosive1 there is no vacation mode that I know of with Madden, unless you can get it working I'll just have to re-invite you since you are about to make the playoffs.
 
I was planning on playing my final game of the season this morning, but it was canceled because it seems they left the heat on a little too long inside the Metrodome.

Is that the first time you've seen that? It seems to happen to me almost any time I play in a dome. I don't think I've ever seen it that high though. The highest I've seen was like 924. Pretty retarded though, and just another example of that quality EA programming.
 
lol, that actually happening to me @ Colts in another online franchise I'm in. It was in the 900s though. The game played fine until the end, he tried to kick a FG but it was short and when my returner caught it they just gave the Colts the ball back with a fresh set of downs. Thank god it wasn't close enough to matter, but it was a bit annoying.
 
I don't know if it's the first time it's happened, but it's the first time I'm noticing it. I thought it was just a freak thing but the more I read about it, it seems like it is not that uncommon.
 
Tonight on fox 5 from Minnesota, our lead story. 40,000 people die from heat exhaustion and/or melting.
 
Giants Finish Regular Season Undefeated

EAST RUTHERFORD (AP) - The New York Giants put the finishing touches on their perfect regular season earlier this week with a 35-0 victory over the Vikings in a sweaty finale at the Metrodome. The team's success was largely due to the dominant defense of the team, which allowed a mere 7.81 points per game.

Defensive captain and team leader in interceptions Nnamdi Asomugha stated that the team "really took pride in keeping other teams off of the scoreboard."

"Every time we step onto the field we're looking to play smash mouth football and force the other team into mistakes," he said in reference to the Giants' league leading 37 forced turnovers, 36 of which came on interceptions. The Giants as a team were #1 in the league in turnover differential at +18.

"We're certainly proud of what we've accomplished so far, but there's a lot more left to do. If we don't win a Super Bowl this means nothing. I'm so glad I'm finally with a franchise where I will actually have a chance to get a ring, unlike that shithole Philadelphia," quarterback Donovan McNabb announced. McNabb finished the season rated second in the NFL in passer efficiency. [Cutler had 74 touchdowns Ivan?!]

"They might be 16-0, but who cares? They're not in the same neighborhood as us, not even on the same block," Mercury Morris stated at a press conference he held in his basement. He continued on at length about the greatness of the 1972 Dolphins to the crowd of stuffed animals sitting on the folding chairs he had put out.
 
We will be advancing this evening since Xxxplosive1 mentioned he was out for a while.
