You will have to tone down the fatigue slider. Just like the other leagues when you have no accelerated clock, at default your starters get gassed about 4 to 5 plays into a drive and with the defenses in this league its huge.

Vikes hold the Rams to a shutout but consistently cant do anything against their D with 3rd and 4th stringers on offense and win 13-0.

I actually didn't mind the fatigue or at least didn't notice. Just my 2 cents. Maybe it's just McCoy though. It's a sentiment that's been echoed so who am i. Smoke weed erryday. :2bong:

Yeah, I am glad we got our core groups in. My top players are Ron Mexico, Ladainian Tomlinson, Jim Brown, Cris Carter, Gronk, Larry Allen, John Hannah, JJ Watt, Suh and Sam Huff. It is really fun knocking the poo poo out of someone with Huff over the middle.

Is anyone interested in trading for Tomlinson? He is a really good speed/receiving back, but I realized that Jim Brown was an unstoppable monster about half way through my game last night. If not, he is rated as a solid WR at 88, so I might just make him my slot guy.


Thanks for streaming the game last night between Thompson and Dave. It was fun having that on the laptop while I played my CPU game.

That draft was pretty fun, and I didn't get bit in the rear end by going mostly defense first. Ray Lewis/Kam Chancellor/Nnamdi Asomguha/Joe Schmidt/Reggie White/JPP/Tillman is some seriously athletic poo poo right there, bout to play man defense all day.

Couldn't pass up on Walter Peyton though early on, dude is nuts.....I got Joe Montana round 9 too. I didn't end up with Art Monk but I got a young Desmond Howard/Andre Johnson/Vernon Davis for some serious rear end catch in traffic shenanigans!

Well, it looks like Legend Linebackers can shut down Legend RBs because that was the case in Jets/Raiders. Ray Lewis bottled up Curtis Martin and Junior Seau bottled up Sweetness so the game came down to who could execute in the passing game. Unfortunately for Yuzenn, Joe Montana tore his abdominal in the first quarter which put Alex Smith at the helm and well... you know...

Russel Wilson to Randy Moss goes off for 160 and 2 TDs and DeSean Jackson adds another 140 yards. Yuzenn not only had to overcome Alex Smith's noodle arm but also suffered from a bunch of costly drops.

Good game as always

Jets 31 - Raiders 14

It was still fun even though there was a first quarter assassination. I tried to run man all game but RANNNNDYYYY was killing me so i tried to do zone and Wilson ate me up.

My offensive line has no confidence either, holes were closing up after being as big as could be when I handed the ball off. This is going to take some building....

I'm going to get annhilated in all my user games because that sim draft really hosed me on getting defensive and offensive depth, and actual starters in some positions. I'm going to need to cannibalize my first draft CPU trading to even have a chance.

With how much I'll need to rely on the pass, I'm probably going to have to bench the 04 Vick experience and funsling with Arod.

And Thompson, any deal must include Shady, and a mid round pick. I have no depth behind Barry and absolutely need a good RB.

That's fine. I have 0 attachment to shady. I want Barry just because he's my fav and i've never used him in a video game. I'll give you a 4th and Shady.

Third times a charm i guess, finally got ints against that horrible patriots offense, and score a grudge td and a 2 pt with no time left, win 25-3.

Did you turn off trades already? I really need to try make a few moves for some LB help and im prepared to gut a draft to do it.

I kept trying to get cute and voila, bad games. I went back to mut all madden mode and won 25-3

Its amazing how ridiculously vulnerable the cpu is to the run and cover 3.

Edit: Got my game in against the Saints...after 3 tries. Injuries and fumbles galore needing 3 restarts to even have running backs to grind down the cpu and they still take me down to needing a last second td pass to win.

2nd game i had a 28-7 blowout going into the 4th and then shady fumbles for a saints TD, then Deangelo fumbles for a TD, they recover an onsides and immediately throw a TD, and recover another onsides and i just quit. The CPU has serious cheat mode with these rosters.

It's going to be a long season, with 9 more cpu games just to get 4 user games in.
