Ok, Cletus. Let's get to the bottom of this because it's not making any sense. Take a look at ATH Nick Johnson, and SS Rich Hart. You and I had the same amount of weekly bonus points for those players, and our visits are scheduled for weeks 13-14. The bonus points are attributed that are not stat/performance related (Program Tradition, Contender, Conference Prestige, etc). WHY IN TGE EVERLOVING gently caress DID YOU GAIN 1000pts?!?! You've got to be cheating. There's no other way  For this...I must break Dick Butt. Week 6! User Matchups: #3 Michigan (Cletus) @ #1 Nebraska (JB) CPU Games: UCLA Penn State Michigan St OSU USC I'm not waiting a week again for CPU games to played. We're advancing Wednesday night.

Hm. Maybe it has something to do with coming off of a bye week for some reason? I can't really tell - for Nick Johnson, from my perspective, you lost 1050 points. I've offered him a scholarship and you haven't (since he had me at 1st and you were probably hoping to wait). I have him in my #2 slot in my board. Other than those things, I don't know. And you are putting points into him I assume, right? I've got all 700 assigned to him. I've fully scouted him. Ready when you are to play, too. ZSB and I are scheduled for 11am ET in the ACC, but I should be able to play around that - or tonight.

And you are putting points into him I assume, right? I've got all 700 assigned to him. I've fully scouted him. Here's the thing: He's number one on my board, I've been putting 700pts into him every week, and a scholarship is only like an extra 50-100pts one-time only. Now you make a good point about the bye week, but have you not steady had one? Because if so you should've dropped behind considerably at one point. Also, me losing 1000pts, you gaining 1000, means the same thing. That's semantical really. E: Actually, the bye week theory is invalid because the same happened in the SEC where I just beat Dio. gently caress this game.

I only only only recruit via the web. Same for you? I don't get it either, now I'm trying to figure it all out. USC, OSU - they fell by 1060. That's I guess my 700 points + my 360 bonus points. But those teams also both get a +360 bonus - unless they've completely stopped putting points into him or just removed him from their board (I guess in that case you stop getting those bonus points) - and that's probably likely with how far behind they were. Bama fell by 650, but gets 410 bonus. That adds up to 1060, so that also makes sense because I'd guess Bama still is going after him. So yeah, no idea why you dropped that much. That does seem strange to me. I don't know what numbers would even add up to 1050.

Nebraska over Michigan, 42-24. It's amazing how even in triple coverage Dick Butt still manage to come down with ball. Somehow I held him to 8 Rec 89YDS and a TD - I'll take it I guess lol. Your defense really had no answer for my offense. Your sack and pick came on a broken play and risky throw on my part. Really wished my WR would've at least gone for the ball there. Anyhow, GG.

cletus42o posted:GG. I was glad Dick Butt was able to at least get one TD. I figured you were going to do everything you could to keep him from scoring, so that was a small victory. Just couldn't afford those turnovers, your offense had the ball too much for me to try to get back in it. You ball hogged to him so much in the first drive it caught me by surprise. Sometimes when I'm in perfect coverage I start looking elsewhere because I'm thinking you're not gonna throw it - and you did lol. Also, I've been trying to play more ball control and it typically works tremendously.

John Brown posted:Dubious, can you get your game in tonight? yea, i can take care of it in just a few actually. E: R2A Ran for like 200 yards and 4 TDs with my QB, went 6/14 for a pick in a torrential downpour where everything was dropped, heh. I'm talking the frustrating kind of poo poo where the WR comes down with it, secures it, then it just plops out like a greased pig Dubious fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Feb 12, 2015 |

Advanced to Week 7! Michigan State lost their sim but somehow stayed at #16, so yay? User Matchup: #8 Penn State (Wreckus) @ #1 Nebraska (JB) CPU Games: Michigan OSU USC Byes: UCLA Michigan St. Let's try for a Sunday night advance since there's only one user game. Wreckus, I can play either tonight or maybe Friday night. I'd definitely prefer tonight around 9-10pm CT.

I've flipped over to my backup QB these last two games, seems to be working great. QB Brown goes 34/42, 500 yards, 7 TDs. No turnovers. Dick Butt with 5 of those TDs with 354 yards on 22 receptions. 5 turnovers by Rutgers, coupled with another 6 sacks by Taco (9 total team sacks in the game). Getting the most out of Dick and Taco before they're gone after this season.

Tight Ends in this game are just like Madden: always open on vertical routes and slants. Guaranteed almost everytime and the only real good way to shut that down is to be really good at usering a fast LB or a safety to jump tbeir route. Its even worse in Madden 15.

I keep trying to use the TE more, but have not been able to replicate the success others have seen. I tend to lose sight of them as the 2nd or 3rd read.

There have been times when I am able to shield them from the ball and pick it off - then there are times when I get mossed.

The reasoning was you hadn't responded to his post on the 17th and two days had passed since. I'm willing to wait until Sunday night, but only if you guys can guarantee to play by then. I'd hate to wait until that time and then you guys end up not playing. John Brown fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Feb 20, 2015 |

I have a few deliverables I'd need to wrap up so I can head into the weekend and not bring my laptop with. If I can't make your window, we should just let the EA gods figure it out because neither of us were easily available when we each posted, and that's probably the most fair solution.
