Re: ATF Madden?

And I know that you know that Stoke knows that his Network Nazi wife won't let him visit it during the day and if he's at home anyway I know that you know that he knows that just hopping on the Xbox is faster.

Re: ATF Madden?

CB and I tried a couple Co-Op games last night. While certainly amusing for a little bit, the format itself is absolutely terrible. The defense is run from the opposite perspective of normal (i.e. - defense on bottom...good luck playing coverage) and the offense cameras are so bad as to be wholly ineffective. For the guest the camera doesn't really follow you so about the time you get 6 yards downfield as a receiver it becomes near impossible to see what the coverage is doing or where you need to be in relation to the catch circle. The QB camera is mildly less annoying, but not by much.

Can't say I'd recommend that mode other than to try it once to see how bad it truly is...but whoever thought that implementation was satisfactory should be fired.

Re: ATF Madden?

Here is a good example of why you should never showboat too early - intentional or not. This happened in mine and CB's defensive struggle....

Re: ATF Madden?

The Carolina - Atlanta matchup was one of epic porportions as I'm sure CB will attest. It was a defensive struggle with both offenses and QBS especially having a difficult go of things. There were probably a combined 10 or so turnovers (most in the red zone) and some overall weird things happened.

Examples of the mediocrity of both offenses (if I recall correctly):

The Kittys stopped the birds on 4th and goal at the 2. The kittys took over and promptly fumbled at about the 5 or so giving it right back to the birds setting up the birds lone TD.

The lone TD by the Kittys was an interception return.


There were lots of "its jsut like a long punt" in this game.... and several instances of the gatorade being spiked.....

Overall, this game was probably the most fun I've had yet playing Madden..... wish there could have been an audience.... it was classic.

Re: ATF Madden?

I was commenting to CB that it seemed less a defensive struggle and more a struggle of who's offense was more inept.

The Eagles of late have really been struggling on defense (much like their RL counterparts). Seems like every game there's a series of duelling 60+ yard TDs by each team and situations where 4 guys tackle a running back from all points of the compass and he breaks free for a touchdown.

Of course, I'm not playing cupcakes like the Falcons and Panthers anymore either...

Re: ATF Madden?

As a friendly reminder...tomorrow sometime around 9PM Eastern the week in Madden will be advanced. The Seahawks and Panthers owners may wish to play their games prior to this time, or just take whatever fate gives them.

Re: ATF Madden?

Apparently CB learned to play offense or my defense truly is that inept as the Eagles and Falcons had quite a shoot-out last night. CB had 529 yards of offense, returned a McNabb fumble for a touchdown and held the ball for over 31 of the 40 minutes in the game....and still lost by 7. Final score of 62-55.

The format of the game was CB would go on a 6-8 play march down the field, score a touchdown. Philadelphia would (usually) get the ball back and score 2 plays later. It all came down to Matt Ryan flopping like a fish on a 4th down QB sneak and coming up a half foot shy of the marker.

Other notable moments include CB's drunken receivers tottering down the field (and out of bounds in some occasions), a challenge that actually reversed a call (not that it mattered since CB scored the next play), and numerous "OH JESUS!" pass plays on both sides.

Also, there was this...

Re: ATF Madden?

Yes, the game-time temperature was 382 degrees. Forgot about that.

Which explains why in the 4th quarter my offense was fatigued despite NOT BEING ON THE DAMNED FIELD BUT FOR SIX MINUTES.

Pansies...
