Madden 11 League-OFFICIAL CAG LEAGUE-That's all folks! Mini-tourney still coming tho!

[quote name='HydroX']Ramesu & the Texans outright crushed the Colts, I think it was 34-13.

I thought I had a legit chance until Reggie Wayne fumbled inside the 10 at the end of the 2nd quarter. After that it was all downhill.

Good game Ramesu. I'll be cheering for the Texans come playoff time.

This speech fits me pretty precisely this season. lol

Thanks man, it was a good game, but this video is hilarious!
 
[quote name='gbpackers94']Did darth leave the league? I was just checking the standings and noticed the cardinals had no owner...[/QUOTE]

I texted him. I assume/hope not, but who knows.
 
Anyone want to scrim or play a team game? I'd prefer team game since there's less lag to deal with (oddly enough), but I'll scrim anyone just to get some practice in and have some fun.
 
I haven't played a team game, but I can try one out. Be warned that I SUCK at the game though, as my weekly scores will indicate, lol.

Anyways, sometimes when I pick gameflow on defense I will push LT to see what play it actually picked and what is going on. However, everytime I do pick gameflow on defense, I either get burned for a huge play or a TD, so maybe I shouldn't use it anymore, lol.
 
Can anyone explain to me why my kickoff returners stutterstep as soon as they get the ball in their hands and all I am going it pressing UP on the left stick like any other normal run play. It's annoying as hell, bc I have had to down every single kickoff now bc If I don't the stutterstep will make me be tackled at the 15 yard line or something
 
[quote name='Zurezo']bvharris: I want to make a deal for one of your LBs. Let me know when you wanna talk[/QUOTE]

Shoot me a PM on CAG, that's the easiest way for me, and I'll usually respond within a few minutes.


Also, I have yet to hear from venom. I've messaged him on CAG and XBL as well as posting several times in here.. If anyone has an alternative method of contacting him, can you let him know I'm trying to set up our game? Thanks!

just messaged him on aim (it goes to his phone..) hopefully he sees it!
 
Further updates...

Vikings vs Pats (tonight 8pm EST)
Packers vs Jets (tonight 10pm EST)
Dolphins vs Bengals (tonight 9pm-11pm)
Seahawks vs Raiders (hopefully tonight!)
Bills vs Chiefs (tonight)
Titans vs Chargers (still trying to reach Titans)
Jaguars vs Cowboys (tomorrow or Fri between 7-9pm est, WOULD PREFER TOMORROW :))

So it looks like most of this will wrap up tonight and tomorrow. BV, if we don't hear from Venom by tomorrow afternoon/early evening and the rest of the games are finished or scheduled for tomorrow night then I will temp boot so you can play the CPU. Not ideal by any means, but I think we have an abundant amount of ways of contacting him, more so than most here, and we've still had no luck, so we'll have to move along.

Post #2594 oh busy one!
 
[quote name='Mr Grand Cru']Let's go raiders I need to reclaim my division.[/QUOTE]

Same, except the opposite. Though I've pretty much given up on the West at this point. The way Doom is playing, even if I manage to beat him I doubt he's going to find 2 more losses in his schedule.

On my continued venom hunt, he hasn't been on XBL since Monday night or CAG since Friday, so I'm not sure what's up with him.
 
[quote name='siradam134']just checked his facebook...hasn't been on facebook since monday, either. i hope he's ok.[/QUOTE]

Ditto.

My availability beyond tomorrow night is a bit dicey, so I'm really hoping we can get it in this evening or tomorrow night.
 
[quote name='neworlbush25']PM'ed the cowboys and still no response[/QUOTE]

I'm here, I pm'd you back.

9/9 or 9/10 between 7-9 p.m est??...I work all day.

I'm free these dates and times.
 
Bills/Chiefs are hoping to get our game in tonight. I let him know what my hours were and he mentioned doing the game around 4:30 or after 9 today/tonight. We'll see.
 
Hoping I can the Seahawks later tonight. Didn't get to play our 330 pm game. I have class to get to now Seahawks but I'll be on again when I get back. About 6 30 pm pst.
 
Just played a scrim vs. MasterAwesome and it was a pretty intense game. Kick lag did me in though, I missed two FGs and lost the game in OT 34-28. His D is definitely some of the best I've seen user-wise. Excellent game, you really know how to utilize the Panthers' strengths.

I'll never understand how 1v1 can be so fucking laggy, but 3v3 online team play can be pretty much flawless.

Leave it to EA...

2 quick thoughts...

#1. I cannot wait for this bye week to be over.... i'm so excited to get my new look D on the field...

#2. I'll be online for most of the night if anyone wants to get some games in
 
the red worm and I keep losing connection. Two times I've went up 7-0, and then the connection is lost right after the kickoff is completed.

edit - 3 times now

i'm assuming it's the EA servers if you're actually connecting and getting disconnected during it. all I can suggest is try again later.

Definitely not, but if we have to we have to. I was really hoping we could get it in tonight since I've got nothing going on. Tomorrow I have softball after work but I should be home by 7:15. I was hoping to go out to watch the game, but I can play tomorrow night if need be. Friday I don't think I'll be available, and we probably don't want to wait that long if I'm the last game anyway.
 
We're going to try again late tonight.

It sucks, though. There really wasn't any glaring lag, and the kick meter was actually working spot-on. But after I would score a TD, I'd kick off. He'd fair-catch it, and then it would go to the same sideline scene and lose connection.

Lol thanks man, that was probably the toughest game I've played in a long time. Yeah the kick lag was insane for me too for almost the entire game but it really only affected me on one punt since I never went for any FGs. My past like 10 1v1 games online have been almost perfect lag-wise, even with kicking, but this game was ridiculous for some reason.

At the start of the second quarter I just remembered to make a conscious effort to stop holding LT on defense before the snap, so sorry about the whole first quarter where you probably had trouble looking at your routes and stuff lol.

I wouldn't say I really utilized the Panther's strengths since I ended up with a much more effective passing game than rushing game (your defense gave me the lowest YPC average with DeAngelo Williams that I think I've ever had), but I appreciate the compliment, especially about my user D...but you should have saw that coming after witnessing that AMAZING Ray Lewis pick six last night!! I actually struggled a lot reading your offense that game so I had a rather subpar game with Beason.

Cru or anyone else who has ran any trials with that "playart bug", do you know if it's okay to hold RT on defense instead of LT?? I don't know if I can quit cold-turkey so I might have to transition over to holding RT instead, also cause I like to look at the whole field before the snap to get a good idea of where everyone is.

You kept running to keep me on my toes. And you utilized Steve Smith against my nickel corner for half the game, til I realized I could swap DBs, haha. Noob here. Also, your corners are fast.. lol

I tried a new playbook so I was playing it by ear much of the game; it seemed to fit well, but I had to do a lot of substitutions and a lot of timing issues I wasn't used to since I've been using the Bucs playbook (yes, the Bucs...), especially with Beason utilized well in user coverage.

That being said, we should definitely get a team play game going tonight. Had a lot of fun with you and DeskLaser last night. Anyone that wants in around 10pm Central Time, I'll be on then.
 
5-1 Seattle Seahawks @ 7-0 Oakland Raiders

The NFC West leading Seattle Seahawks traveled to Oakland and left with their second loss of the season in what proved to be a dominant performance by the whole Oakland squad. After a 7-7 first quarter, the Raiders were able to pull away with 17 2nd quarter points. From there, they never looked back.

Raiders 31 Seahawks 7

Campbell went 10 of 14 for 143 yds and 2 TDs.
McFadden rushed 17 times for 102 yds and 1 TD.
Justin Fargas rushed 4 times for 37 yds and 1 TD.

Yeah that was really fun, unfortunately I have to get up at 7 a.m. tomorrow so I'm about to head to bed, but I'll be up late tomorrow night so I'm gonna look to get a few of those team games in...to keep our undefeated 1-0 streak going.
 
Jets def. Packers in Jersey, 24-7.

Grant ripped off a 77 yard run on the 2nd play of the game to score on the opening drive. The Jets clamped down after that though, allowing less than 200 total yards for the rest of the game and kept the Packers out of the endzone. Nothing too fancy about this one. Greene rushed for 117 yards with 2 TDs, Edwards was the leading receiver with 80 yards and the other TD in the game, and Bart Scott picked off Rodgers in the 2nd half.

That was pretty big, as the game was close throughout and I'm pretty sure it was between scores. I think after the INT that score made it 17-7. Another key moment was when it was tied or 10-7 and Jennings dropped what looked like an easy 1st down catch on 3rd and longish. He was covered but it was catchable.

gg, Matt.
 
Looks like the Dolphins are losing big to the Bengals. If that score holds, with a win I can grab hold of one of the wild card slots (yes, I'm already thinking WC, haha)
 
This kind of got lost in the shuffle of spread offense talk and stuff that I don't really care much about, so I wanted to make an official "ruling" on this so people can take note. Sorry to dig this up again, but I wanted to stress this before we move into Week 9.

Unless you're already down by say 45, and there's less than 2 minutes remaining in the half, then you really shouldn't have a reason to go for 4th and long on your opponent's 40. I could see if there's like 15, 20 seconds, 30 maybe even and if you don't convert they only have a couple plays to get in FG range. Then I would say that's a grey area we can debate and call a calculated risk. However, if it's essentially just after the 2 minute warning or any time before then, in a tie game then be respectful and punt the damn ball. I think that's a pretty fair way to do it.
 
We have a venom sighting! Hopefully he can play right now.

Edit: Nevermind. He signed on to XBL and ignored my message and then started watching a movie. I'm gonna assume it's not him.
 
GG Ivan Hood. I Officially Suck. Good Game Nonetheless. The final Score should BE:

61 to 17.... But Ivan didn't decide to take 3 touchdowns he had given to him by me.

Week 8: Dolphins @ Bengals
Dolphins:17
Bengals: 41

Miami's Defense: 1 Fumble. And like 99 Broken Tackles (I'm looking at you, Secondary.)
Miami's Offense: 214 Yards Passing, 2 TD, 2 Interceptions / 82 Yards Rushing, 0 TD (i'll be Happy to have Ronnie Brown Back...boy Ricky Williams is slooow.)

Bengals Defense: 2 Interceptions, 1 Sack, 1 TD (had the chance for 3 Defensive TD's)
Bengals Offense: 374 Yards Passing, 3 TD / 165 Rushing Yards, 1 TD

Good Game Mr. Ivan Hood. Madden had me throwing my controller at Halftime.... ~7 Seconds left in the 1st Half...tied 10-10, ivan bombs one out to his TE for a 4 Missed tackles Touchdown.... Then With 4 Seconds to go in the Half my Kick Returner fumbles the Ball which the Bengals Return for a TD.
i'm attaching a strange picture...Madden reports the game as 41-17....but my screen shows 47-17...

For Future Notice. No More late games for my team...my defense seems to be incredibly tired and can't care less whether or not they tackle the guy running for a touchdown...

Don't really have time to go into the details tonight, but I won a fairly ridiculous game against the Dolphins 41-17. People were breaking tackles who shouldn't be breaking tackles, fumbles were happening left and right, and the Madden gods were generally having their way with both teams.

The highlight of the insanity was when my crappy fullback broke several tackles at the end of the fourth quarter. Instead of taking the TD, I decided to lateral to my RT, Andre Smith, who ended up doing the worm instead of scoring a touchdown. Absurd game.
