Remember to give us time in preseason week 1 to make cuts and turn off injuries if we sim out of it! I'm happy with my team now. Not sure where the rest of us are.

Yeah, I was going to give everyone about 15 minutes after the draft was over to make their one cut (I think we draft 54) and turn off injuries. I figured we could draft all the way through, if people are happy with their team, then they can just let the CPU autodraft the last few rounds. I will post in here when the draft is complete to give everyone heads up that they need to make their cut.

Probably about 30 minutes in I was like, I wonder if Havoc or Paperback won the Reese sweepstakes.

Stafford plus Megatron plus DGB plus Perriman plus Sefarian-Jenkins = opposing secondaries. I simmed D the first half and gave up 115 yards to Shane Vereen. I usered it in the 2nd and picked off Crab Theif Rapist 3 times, one for 6. My team loving owns.

Dubious posted:Probably about 30 minutes in I was like, I wonder if Havoc or Paperback won the Reese sweepstakes. Hahaha, I drafted Reece before I even drafted a halfback or a tightend. The guy as just been so drat versatile in Madden the past few years. Beyond counting on him for short yardage or decent blocking, he also plugs into the Tightend position fantastically. I think his rating goes up to a 91 or 92 when you plug him in at tightend. I drafted him about 10 rounds earlier then I normally would have just because of how much Paperback likes him as well. I am really happy with the team I ended up drafting. Most of the players I wanted ended up being around when it got around to my pick. It was also really nice having my picks be almost back to back, so I could plan out a couple of players and not have to constantly be sitting in the middle of the round.

Jags are going any combination of 16-0, 15-1, or 14-2. I have two user games

Is it just me or are players getting tired and subbed out a lot more in this one?

Paperback Writer posted:Is it just me or are players getting tired and subbed out a lot more in this one? yes. In the main league I adjusted our slider to help combat that. Setting it to 30 is a bit more of a realistic amount to be at. In this one , at the default of 50, you're going to have guys swapping out after just a couple plays.

I am going to set it at 100 so you switch out players every other play, really makes bench depth matter. davecrazy posted:I can play whenever today. Okay, I should be good to go any time after 6. I will want to adjust my depth chart and stuff before the game.

Giants 28 - Cowboys 21. Great game as always, would have looked quite a bit different if Mettenberger's accuracy past 10 yards wasn't abysmal. Dave did a great job of playing my receivers, with the majority of my yards coming from my runners. Looking forward to the rematch later in the year!human being Guy posted:Gonna grab a team in a few Sent you an invite! Do you want me to post starters for any teams you are interested in? I am happy to put them up so you aren't picking a team blindly. Malloreon just waiting on you and we can advance to week 2.

Mettenberger has abysmal down field accuracy and my whole team is built around gently caress it, going deep. I don't have a single superstar development guy and all my key dudes are normal.

Stafford is missing so many wide open throws and instead dropping those into DBs and it is maddening.

I had to restart 3 times, Stafford was airmailing everything between 10-20 yards, and medium accuracy is his best stat I still threw 3 INTs in a victory. I need to bump his awareness to stop this garbage and it's gonna take like 3 more weeks of drills to have the XP to jump 3 points to hit the safe zone of 80 AWR. Also holy gently caress, that Dolphins D-line is insane, I was getting blown out of the pocket on almost every drop back. It's vicious.

I'm not used to playing with a great RB who magically breaks tackles and fights for more yards like Shady, it's pretty fun! and through 2 games my high picks of Watt and Josh Gordon have yet to show up.

Paperback Writer posted:I'm not used to playing with a great RB who magically breaks tackles and fights for more yards like Shady, it's pretty fun! It is really amazing how much a RB with the right stats in Madden can move along your offense. For the past couple of years LaGarette Blount as been a discount Marshawn Lynch. He might be rated 15 overall points less, but he can still bulldoze the crap out of defenses and pick up yards. His catching is crap, but if you have another RB or FB (a la Marcel Reece) that can cover for him in that area, he is an absolute monster.

I'm terrible at breaking tackles no matter who i use cause I lay on the speed boost way too drat much. Its a really bad habit.

Week 3! We got two user games this week, probably the most we will have until the playoffs! Dubious (Jaguars) vs Malloreon (Patriots)! Flickmaker (Rams) vs human being Guy (Steelers)! Everyone else against CPU opponents. Per Dub's suggestion, I also lowered fatigue down to 30. Looking through the other sliders, it might be fun to change them up for every week after interest starts declining next Spring. One week with Defensive Pass Interference at 0 but also Pass Coverage at 0. The next week with Field Goal Power up to 100.
