Not sure if serious
this clutch?

Pftt That doesn't concern me at all. Based on last season Romo should have had clutch factor this year.

Found this bit of info

Last Two Minutes of Half, Since 2008
Aaron Rodgers: 94.5
Drew Brees: 93.6
Tom Brady: 92.7
Tony Romo: 91.7
Eli Manning: 91.5

Last 2 minutes is such an insignificant sample size. How about 4th quarter when down?
Does Romo lead the league in picks?

How about last 2 minutes of a match?

Also, love the impartial source that wouldn't at all set specific parameters to achieve a favourable outcome.

this drives me insane but I cant stop playing it...on connected careers, I played 2 years with manning (injured before Super Bowl) then he retired...used a rookie QB and I won it...then picked up Kurt Warner as a FA and he retired...used my rookie QB who I thought would be my franchise quarterback but sucked and now I have none other than Sanchez leading my team...maybe I just suck but it seems I can't go ONE game without an interception.

Interceptions are a bitch. In my current connected career Kellen Moore threw 6 picks in the 1st 3 quarters of game 1. Was still only down by 1 score as my D dominated by picks are a little easy. Defensive players turn around and get things too easily. The coverage is perfect, it's the best I've ever played, but there's only 2 things stopping it from perfect for me. Regret that trade. Traded Matt Ryan to San Fran for a 3rd, after I traded my 3rd for Titus Young and Kellen Moore. Oh well, 6-0 start is ok, but Ryan would take away the fear of ****ing up.

1) defenders get picks too easily - Surely they can drop more than 20% when they turn their heads at the last second.
2) Get the ncaa 13 no huddle system in. I love having the whole playbook available to me. Go no huddle, in that no mans land, call a punt and pooch kick it! Much better than being stuck with ~30 plays from 5 formations or so. Give me the whole playbook!

Haha surprised you have Kellen Moore . I had LaMichael James in a straight swap with SF an he got 1000 yards in his first three seasons but now i've one all out passing basically with Sanchez. Agree on defensive coverage as well, when you go to change plays at the line of scrimmage the D knows what going on so it's hard to confuse them. See if I can win an MVP with the sanchize

I've only just got ncaa 13 and I'm kinda regretting it already...
1. social life non existent anymore
2. fall asleep at work each day
3. my fifa skills have suffered

Very impressed with the playbook, recruiting, etc and general detail of the game. Shits all over madden without doubt.

Something minor I've had happen, started playing CC as a player and I've given him arm sleeves but they don't seem to be appearing on him come game-day. Now that the latest patch is out I've tried editing the sleeves but they still don't seem to appear. Anyone know what's happening here? Has this occurred for anyone else?

 

[Dirty Bird]

So if you win the superbowl, the starting QB and #1 WR are on the podium to receive the Vince Lombardi trophy.

I enjoyed that.
After Julio Jones was injured in the NFC Divisional round and Roddy White got injured in the Superbowl, the game had Kellen Moore and Titus Young up with Coach Dirty Bird to receive the trophy

Tips on trading in offline CC mode?

I traded Von Miller and 2nd round pick for Gronkowski so you can trade for big names. Victor Cruz is fairly easy to get because Hakeem nicks is #1 WR and harder to get. Teams always accept trades for first rou d draft picks in exchange for two\ three picks (unless theyre 7th rounders). I think at the start of cc you could maybe get RGIII if you provide what the skins want. The only player I've really wanted that I can't get is Jimmy Graham. Also Shea McClellin is pretty easy to get and progresses as a good player. i accidentally got the perfect round scratch when I pulled on the controller too hard which moved the Xbox. I've tried using chapstick and toothpaste to fix it but now I'm getting it buffered. I get it back tomorrow, hopefully it works!

anyone playing this online, just for one off matches? i dont really have the dedication, or time, to stick to a connected career.

i'm not an online gamer. madden is the first game i've ever played online. it hasn't been a pleasant experience so far! against someone who is clearly just a console warrior and knows nothing about football, and who i warned that i wasn't very good, our first game involved him leading by 14 points and going for it on 4th and 6 on his own 23 yard line with 90 seconds remaining (and i believe deliberately using the significant lag that onset during the 4rd quarter to his advantage).

i naively accepted his apology, and the next game resulted in him leading by 9 points with 40 seconds to go, and going for hail mary passes up the field. after my 4 passing attempts, he ran over a td - fair enough, he was running it. but then went for a 2 point conversion.

i thought what a dick, and told him it was a bullshit way to play. he apologises, asked he he should play, and when i responded about the etiquette of football, copped an absolute torrent of abuse through the messaging (just swear words and stupid comments in the title) until i could figure out how to block him.

i could've posted the name, but it's not really relevant - all i posted this story for was to find out whether a) i should expect this if I'm going to play online, and b) to see whether there's anyone here who knows about football, and who isn't a dickhead, who wants to be my new online opponent for the once a week i feel like playing.

i'm only playing it online in the first place because i think the offline modes are a piece of shit this year. i don't understand why they keep taking more out of the manager mode. shouldnt they be adding stuff? (i'd still be playing the manager mode from 06 if the graphics hadn't have come so far.)

in the meantime i'm going to play ncaa... it and fifa are infinitely better games than madden this year. i sit down in an offline connected career, doing training after friggen training - just wishing that i was playing fifa.

If you're playing random online game, 90% of people will play like you just described.

 

[exe ex machina]

I have played about 50 random online games. Would say ive had about 65% who play like you described, actually far worse than that. But have been surprised there's been about 35% who have played properly right thru, and never having to say anything to them. Them just seeing that you play honorably with your first possession, say punting, playing normal D, not nano'ing. They tend to play honorably back. 35% of the time.

I find that the search settings helps in increasing the odds of finding good opponents. Specifically selecting an opponent with 5% to 10% disconnection/quiting rate AND standard playcalling (not gameflow). You don't want to play people who quit/dc a lot, as they're most often the ones who play like you describe. And people who use gameflow all the time are usually the pick-up-and-play types, teens, who just want some quick games playing stupidly and cheesily for the lols/fun, so will dc/quit if they're losing.

ask madden > All
Dont become preditable.

GG. Need to try the good ol' 15min no runoff games.

I did one 2-3 nights back online friendly. Instant classic. No matter how long the game goes, you can still have games come down to the final drive with the game winning score with 0:02 left on the clock.

Ok, offensive stats are a little skewed though. On one hand we had Doug Martin ~10 yards off the rushing record, on the other we had Ponder smashing the passing record. but defensive stats are very realistic!

 

[exe ex machina]

There's a point tho where a game can go for too long. You also want piss breaks, food breaks, drink breaks, a stretch and a walk every now and then. And playing the same person for too long gets boring quickly. Or playing two or three games back to back with 15 min no run off, it makes you feel ill in the head and eyes. And if you happen to be getting smashed early or smashing them early, the game becomes absolutely no fun for either person knowing there's still 45 actual mins left to endure.

I prefer something more like 8 mins with runoff. It's long enough to provide a chess match, but short enough to avoid the headaches and boredom.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I personally like 15 min 25 runoff.
Perfect balance for statistical balance of O and D.
The runoff is big enough to make the game fly, but the stoppages after incompletions extend it a little and give the xtra plays needed for tackle stats to become realistic.

Also, in the game I alluded to. I reached a 3 score lead early in the 1st, the extended time allows one guy to fight back.

 

[exe ex machina]

I remember playing Smiths in a 15 min no runoff game in M11 or M12, it was something like 49-42 in the first qtr. Then about 63-55 early in the second quarter. It was just nauseating, we called it quits.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I played sblack. Played it the whole way through.
What people need to learn, never leave time on the clock vs me.
0:19, 4 points down, 1 timeout?

Ok, kick return, pass complete (out of bounds), pass complete (timeout), incomplete, pass complete (TD). Back up 75-72 with 0:02 left

 

[tb_fanboy]

Played an awesome regular game yesterday in cc. Manning vs Brady and the first time in a while I've scored under 25 points. Won with a fg with 0:01 on the clock 13-10.

 

[Dirty Bird]

It was worth it
