I just got Madden and an XBOX360. I used to own at it (PS2,XBOX days) but now I'm bad. Not just bad, horrible. Between being frustrated at sucking and the turbine we call the XBOX360, I'm finding it tough to like. I'll keep playing though in hopes of getting the hang of it.

Kinda do and kinda don't wanna join this league. My Skins have been taken and the only decent team left is Indianapolis..... EDIT: Nope Indy has been taken too 😛

PC Surgeon, why don't you just grab another team. There are still some good ones around and you'll have fun.

Justme - I'll be on in a little bit to play some games if you're around.
 
Had a good game with yowolabi (Colts) (Runningman24). Didn't quit out, no cheese plays, good game. I went for it on a questionable 4th and inches on my 40 or so, but aside from that I think I played fair as well. Ended up Jets 28 Colts 21. Close ending.

I think the OP needs to get updated with every person's gamertag/team/AT nick. It gets confusing.

Will do PC Surgeon.


Also Ducci, I'll start getting things updated. Guys if I don't have your gamertag down with your name (should be in parenthesis) then go ahead and post in this thread what your gamer tag is.

hey PC Surgeon do you want the Chargers? If so I'll trade you the chargers for the raiders.

BTW I tried to join the league but it wasn't available. Maybe EA was down. Will try again later

I expected you to go for it then. I would have went for it too. I think Greg Easterbrook at ESPN calls that area of the field the "maroon zone". Definitely a good game.

People are worried to much about not being good enough. Even if you do suck, what's the harm in losing? Better to lose to someone in a league like this where there's less cheesing and bad sportsmanship than in the lobby.

Their defense is a lot better than you think. They have two 90+ linemen, they have two great 90+ linebackers, and two awesome cornerbacks rated a 96 and a 93.

Also have a great runningback and quarterback on offense. McFadden is a beast and maybe the fastest back in the game. Their biggest problems are that their offensive line is mediocre, and opponents have to worry about only 1 receiver on your team.

Link to stats

Link to stats for every team

On another note: if you stink at madden or don't understand some strategies, my second link has some great guides to improving your game.

The game wasn't actually 2-0. It was a bug because they didn't finish the game. The stats still recorded, and the win was awarded to the right person, but the final score doesn't show up properly.



Also, does anyone know how to load videos from in the game online. I was thinking we could post some videos of key highlights to some of our games on here to give the league a bit more depth.

oh that's disappointing i was hoping it was an epic defense game. and I know how to make video highlights of the online games. after the game is over, go into the easports highlights thing and find the play u want to make a highlight. Then u can click on it, choose which camera u want, and then wait for it to record, afterwards u should be able to save it. then in the main menu u can go into your videos and look under online games and it will show the highlight u recorded. then you can upload them to the ea servers. i have a couple up now but they are from a practice game.
 
On another note, people keep inviting me to games while i'm already playing one. I don't think people know that you can see that someone's already playing a game. I don't like to respond to messages while i'm in a game, because i think it's rude to make my opponent sit there and wait.

If you go to your "online hub" in the "xbox live" menu in madden, you can use LT to change the menu so that you see the people in your leagues. It'll tell you which people are online in madden and what they're doing. It says if someone is in the middle of a game, and you should probably only message people that aren't playing. If you do message someone that's playing, understand that they may not respond immediately and don't just keep inviting them.
 
Man I can't get this freaking easportsworld shit to work. I've uploaded a few videos from my game with Ducci but I can't seem to link my gamertag up with my profile or find the videos 🙁 This site ea made is freaking confusing.

Heh, nevermind got it working.


So if anyones interested here are a few highlights from the game me and Ducci played.


Early game TO breaking a big one on WR screen.

Marion Barber, doing what he does.
Nail in the coffin.


That was pretty much how the whole game went. I was lucky to have a few really big plays. Ducci sustained long, methodical drives. I couldn't really stop him, but then again he couldn't stop my big plays either.
