[quote=Skinny Tee;627843]I'm not a big fan of the running QB tricks but there are plays that you can make them pay for it. It's really easy to get QBs injured too so even if they do it for a couple of plays they'll risk his availability.

I've seen Brees be in full stride backwards and throw a forward pass to a receiver when he should have been sacked. It doesn't seem like Madden takes anything away for throwing in awkward positions.

People I play online always seem to throw the ball in the dirt just as I sack them without any intentional grounding calls. Really tough to get sacks due to this.[/quote]

I think part of me wants to play a somewhat realistic game, and I feel the running QB tricks are just that...tricks. Heck, even when I do win I find them annoying, is like shit, play the game not a trick play every single time.

[quote=Nomad;627845]Remember bro in the grand scheme of things.... its just a game, its gonna be alot of flaws.... what i suggest you do is go in the lab, practice against a scrambling QB run schemes you like.... on D.[/quote]

And how are you going to practice against a scrambling QB? If you've found a setting on Madden that lets the computer run the wildcat or scramble around all the time, then let me know.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

[quote=Ruhskins;627767]Just wondering what are people's thoughts on players that use running QB, run around the backfield and get lucky shots down the field. Personally, I hate them (kinda like the people that never punt)...not that the game should be super realistic, but it just gets tiring.[/quote]

When I used to play Madden '04 I think when Vick was on the cover and he used to murder me with Vick. He put up 100 points and racked up 1,000+ yards on me one time. Vick had 300+ rushing and 700+ passing. I was so pissed that day. It took me a while to figure out a way to stop him but I just used a lot of spy's and blitzes to flush him out. A lot of zone blitzes too. Gives me more defenders up front to stop a big run.....hopefully.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

Has anyone played a game where one team or the other gets a bad case of fumblelitis? I was playing online against someone who was using the Giants, and I think I stripped the ball 2 or 3 times...and it wasn't those hard tackles either. It was insane.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

I feel you on the 4th down calls.

While playing defense, I never do punt receive or punt block. I just pick a normal defensive play and try to stop the 4th down. It surprising how many guys still snap the ball and fake the punt when I'm running a dime flats defense.

These guys are always the first to quit and wonder why they are losing so bad...they never punt...it's obvious you're always going to be behind under those circumstances.

Is it possilbe, we are over thinking this thing?

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

So are we starting Today or Sunday Matty with this league, and if we have a computer game, can we play it already?

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

so does this mean I'm not allowed in this league? I sent a PM a while back and never got a response after the other league was dissolved,

Seriously...I don't even know what referencing. What is being overthought.

I was identifying someone with the play that go on during online games. It was just a mere post describing the play of others online.

I don't know at which point you came away the idea that it was over thinking.


I can't wait to kick your ass on the field...kidding...kinda...80% kidding at least. If I lose our first game verse each other then 100% kidding.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

So anyone play their first game yet? Matty are you going to advise when the week has been moved forward..... I'm ready for some football!!!!!!

I did, and for some reason I had the case of the fumbilitis...and it was against the f'ing Chiefs. Still beat them, though I see that you and someone else were lighting up the boards against the computer. Which makes me think I'm going to be the Detroit Lions/Cleveland Browns/St. Louis Rams of the league.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

I haven't even gotten in yet. So please don't skip the week and if anyone has the Giants hold on for a sec I'll pick the Skins and give you this work !

Move forward we shouldn't even be starting yet. Let's let everyone get in and I'll give the word.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

[quote=Mattyk72;627251]We'll get it started this weekend at the latest, I've got one more guy I work with that wants to play, he's just having trouble getting his online franchise code redeemed. As soon as he's in we'll get cranking.[/quote]



This is why i played my game.... cause you said we were getting started this weekend and I sent several messages, but no response,...... 3 teams in the nfc east..... somebody not gonna make it?

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

Well I guess we've started.

Week 2 will start next Monday.

Get your games in.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

Just a bump to let everyone know we've started week 1. The new week will start each Monday. Thanks

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

Who want a game today?

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

The Bengals are on the board!

Any chance we could do 2 franchise weeks per week?

Since most of the games are against the CPU anyways shouldn't be too hard to get 2 games in a week. Might be tough in the NFC east since you guys will have a lot more head to head matchups. But it would speed things up and maybe keep the interest level higher.

I propose a Thursday midnight deadline followed by a Sunday midnight deadline. That way we'd have 4 weekdays to get one game in then the whole weekend to get the 2nd game in.

Anyways just a suggestion, not a big deal either way.

Well lets make a trade then, I have a QB on the bench i'm not using D. McNabb, and Kevin Curtis for Haynesworth and Landry!

I swear if you're not using McNabb to run your offense I'm going to smoke your ass when we play!...

Bring some of that Vick rollout ish on me and I'll put you down like a dog. If you're not using McNabb I'll ground you like a kid in middle school.

BTW...I lost to the computer my first week so that should give you a clue as to how threatening these taunts can be.

This statement just reaks of nano blitzing. I haven't been nano blitzed this year in Madden but everything has an answer.

Looking forward to seeing you on the virtual field. You better not cheese me : )
