Madddeenn!!!

[Hoofbite]

I used to play it a while back. Then they started putting out the same game with current rosters and I haven't seriously played it in a while. I've thrown a few in for the cheap and easy achievements but that's about it.

I'm in 2013 of my franchise mode. We're rated an 89. Won the Superbowl a couple years ago.

I've got Mark Sanchez at QB, Darrell Revis, Antoine Bethea, Jerod Mayo, Brian Cushing, Jared Lauranitis, Percey Harvin, and Reggie Bush. I've also got 2 other good running backs and 3 other good wide recievers.

I'm also about $4 million under the cap with all the guys locked up, inlcuding other people on the lines and at tight end.

That team is stupid.

I keep the original cowboys together until people retire then I have to replace them.

I play Madden almost exclusively for Franchise Mode. If they don't revamp it this year, I'm not buying.

I've played the game so much that I've realized that the same players pop up in the draft, so I can pretty much cherry pick elite players without scouting. I've got like 89 rated safeties as backups. My backup QB is often rated in the 90's. 3 RB's in the 90's, etc.

BTW, I absolutely ****ing hate the fact that you can't trade for future draft picks.

Interesting nugget about the draft.

I'd be interested in knowing how you did that, if you could share.

I can't stand the computer generated players.

Just from playing the game a lot and starting a bunch of franchises, you start to notice the same names popping up and if you draft them once, you can be sure that if their names ever shows up in another franchise, it'll be the exact same player.

No kidding. As much fun as it is having a 6'3" 250 lb linebacker that runs a 4.38, it's not particularly realistic.

Okay, I misunderstood. I thought you meant that the same franchise mode would pump out the same draft "class" (perhaps with different named players).

Am I alone in that I never noticed the drafted players making much of an impact in franchise mode?

I used to play Madden A TON. Then I got up to the reall high levels and that is where all the glitchers and cheesers are. They all cheat when they get to high levels so I pretty much quit playing it online.

The glitching and Nano blitzes get out of hand and MOST people usually run the same 3 or 4 different offensive plays over and over and 1 or 2 defenses. Makes for a lame game.

There were a few pretty cool glitches out there that I have to admit I used to have some fun. One of my all time favorites was in 2006 I think. With the Falcons you select I-Form Twin TE running play, then audible to a pass play. After that you hit cancel audible to return to the running play. There was a glitch that would allow you to put the RB (Dunn) in motion, so when Vick dropped back to hand it off there was no RB. The whole defense would run towards the RB that was in motion and you could run with Vick out the other side for 80+ yard TDs over and over. Players would try spreading their line and using Dime packages etc, then you could just give it to Dunn up the middle for huge gains. I was averaging over 550 yards rushing a game online, people would get so pissed off it was pretty funny.

Another one that was fun in 2005 (I think) you could pitch the ball, if you called a shotgun pass play and send all the WRs on slants to the inside, then after the ball is hiked wait a second or 2 and pitch the ball to the RB, you could run 15 yards down field before the defenders would even try and tackle you.

Anymore I just prefer to play vs the computer with modified sliders to make the game more balanced and fair.

The draft has become so lame in Franchise Mode I dont even bother with it anymore. I usually just trade my draft picks for you and up and coming players that I know will improve.

One tip for building offensive linemen is to create packages that utilize them as extra blockers on running plays instead of using TEs. They usually get matched up vs LBs and get a ton of pancake blocks over the course of the season and helps speed up their advancement.

[Romo 2 Dez]

For xbox:
You go online and you can go to downloadable roster.
Search for lateri87. That seems to be the one everyone uses. A friend on xbox live suggested him and I used it since ncaa 07 with success. I'm not sure bout ps3 I'm sure if you google it you'll find it.

You really really should think about not typing in that fashion. It is a horrible habit to have.

That might be the longest sentence in the history of man. I had to catch my breath after reading it.

LOL. Sorry.

i can't wait for that, it looks so good never played a good western game before but if anyone can pull it off it's rockstar

I heard Red Dead Revolver was also very good. I'm going to look to play it as well.

Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 are great games

Played them both, my nephew owned them both and would bring them over, so I loved them before even getting my XBox. In fact they're the reason I wanted an XBox Live in the first place.

I played Left 4 Dead 2 today for a bit, before work, to get adjusted to the controls and stuff again and had a blast. I didn't play online today cause my nephew is the only person I know on XBox Live and he was at work.

Yes, you should. You should try it online and I'll play it with you.

Romo 2 Dez = Romo 2 Austin

Eh...I don't think it is. Given a PM I received I really don't think it's the same guy.

Could be wrong but I dont think it is.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Romo 2 Dez = Romo 2 Austin

Nah. You are underestimating R2A's love for Austin.
