Here is my cool story.

Step 1: Took PS3 to Little Rock to play Madden while I was travelling.
Step 2: Internet out at my parents house in Little Rock. No Madden to be had.
Step 3: Leave PS3 power cord in Little Rock.

So... I might be able to go tomorrow night after like 8pm central or so, but more likely than not I just need to be thrown on auto.

e: The cool thing is that my TV power cord fits my PS3 perfectly, but then I am stuck in this Hell that I can have one or the other on but not both. It mocks me.

I'm sure you could probably find a PS3 power cord somewhere close to you, like a Best Buy or GameStop or something if you cared enough to waste :10bux: on an extra cord just for internet footballs.

Do not try and score on the powerplay. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

What truth?

There is no powerplay.

Bullshit, specifically that last Stevie Johnson TD. I had that mother fucker double covered and he shouldn't have caught it by any stretch of the imagination

Pass defense? Who needs it?

E: gg again Alucard. Let the CPU do your downfield tackling and uh don't run the ball three times late in the third down by 7 when your opponent can't stop your passing attack.

double edit: the play in question was like 3rd and 24 (fun fact a cat jumped on me and made me hit circle twice so i couldn't audible out of the spike play, that's why I kept fake snapping until I got the false start penalty), i ran Corner Strike with smart routes on the outside receivers, Stevie was double covered, EJ threw it outside before the receiver broke off the route & Stevie broke first, got enough of a step to catch it and both defenders fell over themselves in shock letting him pretty much walk in for his fourth TD of the game.

Any advice for dealing with this then? It sounds to me like there are some players that just get open on any play regardless of how many defenders you stick on them. I was man covering him with 2 guys who were in the same area as the pass and it's not like they weren't even close to where the ball ended up. One of them should have at least tipped or tackled. I was double covering Johnson every play after the first 80 or so yards, and it didn't do poo poo.

Oh FYI that SS blitz at the beginning of the game should have legit killed EJ, but instead you killed my hartline and gave him broken ribs. I was so happy to have actually put a successfully timed blitz on someone for the first time ever.

Corner Strike is very, very difficult to defend with Man if the the WR is a good route runner. It's not quite a fault of you, it's just a really good play in the hands of a good WR. Zone is a bit more effective if you shade a DB into the zone.

Am I supposed to shade the DB and then send the zones to the sidelines? I've found that deep zones tend to be crap at actually getting to the sidelines even when you tell them to.

Stevie's a top-notch route runner, but if you jam at the line with man coverage it usually stops the route cold; regardless of whether the jam works it ends up with the man corner directly in the throwing lane and keeps him there (either through great coverage or oh-poo poo-he's-behind-me trailing, either way QB has nowhere to throw it). A successful jam also puts a deep blue zone safety in play. The purple zones (usually in cover 4 but there's a couple other plays I know of that have it) also gently caress it up and usually end in INTs.

wait why am i helping you i have to play the dolphins again

GG Wampa, you're improving significantly. Fun game, although I'm gonna send EA a pipebomb for not letting me challenge obvious completions that got ruled incomplete, and a bullshit Browner pick.
