Looking forward to these games in particular:

- Week 6 SNF @ Oakland Chewy316
- Week 10 MNF @ Cincinnati GG.exe

but also these:

- Week 9 SNF vs. Seattle 00Stinger
- Week 15 MNF vs. New England BLA60


I have 10 primetime games this season. This always happens in franchise mode after the 1st season (getting heaps of night games). But thought it wouldn't happen because of all the other user teams
We haven't played before so it will be an interesting game.

My record v user teams has been pretty poor. However except v Dirty Bird I have been in control of pretty much all of the games for the first half if not longer but have fallen apart.

I've been playing pretty much all human v human online games as practice to try and counter the lag. So hopefully my kicking has got better which has been putrid previously.

I'm sitting at 2-2 which is a bit unfair. I had the Bucs on toast just before half time. Then I tried to force a play to go up by three scores had an INT and fell apart. My other loss came to a 45+ yard field goal in the last play of the game v the Chiefs.

Having said all of that if Chewy316 comes out and destroys me tonight its back to square 1

Wow Chewy316 What a game.

Talk about a sea sawing game.

My last play in the first half and decision to go for 2 points instead of 1 in the last play of the game killed me.

But i was going for the win not extra time

Unbelievable game really.

I had been playing for a good chunk of the evening online against other people and was getting carved up, couldn't do anything right. Felt like that translated over to this game as well.

To put it into context for everyone else, Stinger threw a pick when he was inside 5 yards to his attacking goal line in the final minute of the first half. I politely returned the favour in the 4th quarter throwing a pick 6.

Realistically I don't believe I deserved to win this game at all. I was up 20-7 at 3/4 time, gave up a TD then the pick 6 really killed me, so I was done 20-21. In my attacking half (maybe 40ish yards out) I had 4th and 2 with about 3:30 to go, got a gain of 20ish. I had issues with the kicking meter again today so I knew I would need a TD. I had a play where I could've run into the end zone but chose to stay out to try and wear out more time, to which he used up his timeouts. Final minute, 3rd and goal from the 1 and I couldn't get in. By now he's used all his timeouts up, and I didn't trust the kicking meter so I had to go for a TD. Was able to get in and then I converted for 2 to put me up 28-21. 56 seconds to go, they have no timeouts, I thought I was sitting pretty. Even more so when they took a good 30 seconds just to reach half way.

Clock was ticking and they were going no-huddle. I was having issues for whatever reason trying to audible and I didn't want to take a timeout to stop the clock. With 4 seconds to go they snapped the ball and got a 25+ yard TD right down the middle of the field. He went for 2 to win the game by a point. I was able to get pressure and sack Wilson with Khalil Mack.

Crazy how important turnovers are to the final result. At least in that respect Madden is realistic!

It was the toss of the coin game tbf.
I read your stats from your previous games and was prepared for you to run the ball. Which you did alot off and i reckon i held well.

I feel you under utilized you passing game tbh. You made some big plays on it as i was too busy defending your run game to keep up.

The first INT of the game in the 1st quarter is the most annoying for me. I shit myself against your blitz an threw to the wrong receiver.

The int just before half time was frustrating but at least i knew i was risking it.

I thought you had all the control in the 2nd half. I just made some big plays to keep Seattle in the game.

Then 4th & 2nd deep in the last you killed me and then wore the clock down. Spewing as i was trying to let you score but you wouldnt. Then i thought your fg kicking is putrid so i tried to stop you and you score the td.

Was pumped with my last press down the field.

Then the play of the game. An extra point to try or a 2 point play to win. Full of bravado and confidence i went the 2 point play. Bang you hit me with a great blitz and i lose.

Woyluld love a rematch later in the year as this was a true coin toss game. Now at 2-3 the Seahawks need a big stretch of games

Saturday is going to be tight

I'm trying to organise something but not in stone yet

Sunday, will have a window in the early afternoon of anywhere from 3 hours to 6 depending on when I finish work and when my family dinner starts.

My passing game was certainly not used as much as I had anticipated. I actually audibled out of at least half a dozen passing plays because I didn't like the pre-snap read based on the look of your D. Your passing game on offense has a lot of potential. Need to reduce the interceptions for sure. Having Wilson get out and scramble also helps!

The first interception i pressed the wrong bloody button on my controller so that was frustrating.

The second was a stupid short pass i had decided to make even before the snap. Its those ones i need to reduce

It will be interesting. GGs Rookie QB isnt that good, and so far he has been a 90% outside run offence.

If Mixon goes down for with a long term injury he is f**ked, since the backup RB is a huge downgrade.

You haven't played me yet in a proper game. Friendlies doesnt count because im just fart-assing around. Wait till you actually play me, and then you can crow about a W (if you get a W).
