Looking to join up, need some advice on who to take since I dont know anything about the rosters. Preferably something that helps balance out the league.

oh yeah that's the team with the super Ryan Mallett huh

Hearing Ryan Mallett makes me not want the team but I'm guessing he got a huge boost from throwing to Megatron. Unless anyone has any other suggestions I'll just grab them.

Does anyone have a problem with me trying to trade Luck in the offseason? This is the second league hes my QB and I want to play with someone else. It would just be a straight up for a similar QB.

I am willing to trade 99 OVR RG3 in the offseason for a big WR. I have no size at the position, and have slot guys at 1, 2, and 3.

I'd be willing to talk trade for Alshon Jeffery if I can find a taker for Luck.

I guess I don't understand how this game works anymore. Didn't matter what coverage I called I got beat deep all day. Maybe I just don't play enough to understand the right plays to call to get yards. I certainly don't understand the right defensive adjustments to make especially when I cant get pressure and my defensive backs are burned if I even attempt to play man or my opponent has me sacked all day and when I throw into man coverage the defensive back jumps inside when it looks like my guy is open. I'm not having much fun with the game right now.

E: not a ragequit just frustrated trying to figure things out.

If your opponent has a really good wide receiver, it can be pretty difficult to defend the deep ball. This is especially true if their quarterback has a cannon for an arm. In the main league, the Lions beat the hell out of me with Calvin Johnson with 3 TDs even when I had multiple people covering him just because Johnson could get past the defenders and Stafford can launch the ball so well. It was vastly different when I played the Lions the previous season and he had Hoyer starting. Hoyer couldn't lay up the ball, so I kept on getting interceptions with my safety because the balls were placed a foot behind where Stafford could throw it.

Also, this time of year can get frustrating because everyone has had Madden for over 6 months, so they have a really good idea on which plays they can keep on using to work. It is just one of those things where playing the CPU won't help and you will have to just get that experience against other players to try and figure out something that will work. It can get really frustrating when you know what your opponent is going to call, but can't defend it no matter what.


I think years of playing against Menamino in the 360 leagues and getting blown out by 5+ touchdowns in every game as softened me with regards to getting really upset with the game. Since we were always in the same division (me Cowboys, him Giants) I knew I would always have at least 2 losses and would have to fight for a wildcard spot no matter what. Instead of focusing on winning, I would just try to focus on keeping the game competitive for as long as possible.

yeah I just had to rant for a minute because I've been bad lately. I must be doing something wrong when usering a WR. I know to hit O and hold down triangle but am I suppose to actually move the guy with the left stick or will be automatically move into position to catch the ball?

Also my blitzing has been bad, guys seem to run into each other all the time, not sure if there is a way to get better lanes set up.

I hope Luck destroying his kneecap won't affect my ability to trade him in the offseason.

Anyway it's time for the Mettenberger experience. Threw 2 TDs to Jeffery and had one of my best offense games with Doug Martin going for over 100. My defense still sucks and almost gave away my lead.

Honestly I feel kinda bad, you played very well and got some maddening.

I really think youll be a monster next season with rg3, because Luck was ridiculous to stop.

It was a fun game. I thought I got that 4th down for sure. My defense actually played better then I expected but Murray was hard to stop in the second half. I don't know what defense you were calling in the 4th but on that screen play where your entire defense engulfed Doug Martin I panicked and couldn't stop laughing. I don't know if it's my OLine being garbage or you run committing a lot but your DLine was in my backfield a lot. I'm excited to retool after this year to make it more my team. A lot of the problems I had this year was a ton of guys with confidence problems when I took over the team.

If I dont throw that terrible pick six it probably would have been closer.

Owners firing probably should of been turned off, blame the commissioner for that one.

Did you log in during the playoffs? It would of given you job offers in between the playoff games.


Best solution I can think of is to retire your current character, make a new one, and take back over the team.

I made the playoffs at 11-5 and lost to Dubious. I had an offer from the Niners. I guess ill retire and take back the team but drat they released like 6 or so players.

I'm not worried about WR I can sign some I was just hoping to still get RG3.

The guys that got released are not major starters, most of them were old guys. It just killed my depth at some positions. I think the highest rated was 82.

I can do tomorrow if we start by 2 pm. I'm about to leave in 30 min for the night so my off-season is pretty much screwed if you do off-season all today.

E: Let me get a hold of some coworkers and see if I can move some stuff around to free up Tuesday night if that works for everyone.

E: yes I need depth but the CPU got rid of my starting LE, LOLB, MLB, CB, FB and I need 4 WR so free agency is kind of crutial for me. Also I need to place Luck up for trade.
