hmm  i might have to pick up that NHL game   sounds awesome

yeah, after i play a little more of the college football game i may do the same

I have both NCAA and Madden...  I just wish I had more time to play them.  I feel like I haven't had a solid day of gaming in ages.

I have only played Madden twice so far...  been playing on All Pro.  The passing game feels all right but I have not had a lot of success running the ball.  Anyone else had that issue?

I would play in a fantasy basketball league by the way.  I haven't played in one in like seven years.

Go Nats!

Also, let's hope they got that out of their system.

Yeah, it can be kind of tough to run against the computer.  My backs get nowhere in Superstar Mode, and there I can't do much to help them.  In my franchise, I got a nice little speedback with my 1st round draft pick in 2011, and I'm having a little more success with him, largely on tosses and the occasional draw.  Got a C in the 2nd round that's now leading the all-pro voting like 14 weeks in.  'TWas a good first draft.

That would be good.  They do know how to be pesky.

The running offense is the only aspect of "My Skill" that seems completely whacked out.  I seldom rush for better than 4 yards a carry or like 60 yards in a game, but my run offense skill level is up beyond All-Madden.   So is my pass offense, but that is appropriate.  Both my defensive levels hover around or just above All-Pro, although occasionally pass defense dips into single digits when I get big-play AIDS.

There's also the matter of the two Blanton/Kendrick starts in the series. The Phillies have tended to be generally immune to the late season peskiness of crappy teams during this run at the top of the division, unlike their rivals, but... yeah.

All-Pro is what we will be playing on.  Robusk, I will invite you soon...like later tonight.

Dubbs, did you see my posts yesterday about apparently not having access to the forum for the auction league?

i kind of remember that

should be fixed

Yeah, thanks.

I haven't set up the My Skill...  just been running on default All Pro...  I will check it out and see if it helps.  I probably averaged only like 3 or 3.5 yds per carry in the 2 games I played with the 49ers...  against ARI and SEA which aren't great teams.
