Actually Bird, that might be a bad time. Might have to be sometime after that or at some point later tonight. Nats playoffs at both of those times.

When do they play tomorrow night? I'll make sure I can play after the game. Really, anytime after the game should be ok.

Hi I’m a DC fan and none of my teams have done anything in 16 years regardless of them being in the playoffs 28 times and 46 rounds.
 
Gg ph33! Felt like your offense did 0 besides a couple big runs. Lucky for you my offense did like -30. I made 4 really bad throws but holy fuck this game is dumb. That fumble at the start... some throws aren’t even to receivers.... the fucking double fumble for a TD had me in stitches. This loss is because of my INTS. But between the fumbles the drops and the air balls..... fuck. Both of our OLines played aweful. Had the strongest urge to just keep audibeing every play to verts or TE attack but the game feels dumb enough on AP as is. Shits so effective!
 
Dat effective OP offensive on AP tho.

Shut up!

I will say the TLBB post about sliders being reversed seems legit.

I played franchise against all Madden for 3 games and completed 80% of passes with an 80 OVR QB. Seems like we were playing All Madden with boosted defenses. I would suggest trying All Madden with no slider changes- at least in the dummy league.
 
Later this week I'm gonna stream a few slider stuff.

1) Current league sliders (All Pro, maxed out)
2) All Pro, Reaction Time : 0 / Pass Coverage : 0
3) All Pro, Reaction Time : 0 / Pass Coverage : 100
4) All Madden, Reaction Time : 100 / Pass Coverage : 100
5) All Madden, Reaction Time : 0 / Pass Coverage : 0

We can try some out today

They play either at 5ish if the Diamondbacks win tonight or 8 if the Dodgers win the series tonight.

Looks like they're playing at about 430 central. Do you want to play right after, or will you need some recovery time (obviously depending on the outcome)?

So there might be some good from this. It sounds like it might start pouring up in Chicago and the game might be postponed till tomorrow. If that's the case, then I can play around the original time of 7:00pm EST.

If the game does happen, then I'll probably be out and (most likely depressed) away from my Xbox and would probably need to be put on AP.

But as I said before, game will probably be postponed with what the writers are saying about the Chicago clouds right now.

I'm assuming it's going to get postponed looking at the hourly forecast posted in the MLB thread. I can still do 7 est if that works, but 8:30 would actually work way better for me...just let me know what you want to do.

830 works. I’ll be on around then!

Okay wait wtf they can’t review that?


Like I get that the last minute and shit was bad but wtf was that last fumble call


No seriously wtf was that. Three special teams touchdowns in a span of a minuteand that last pass should’ve been incomplete? Fuck this game. I was totally fine with the loss and then all of a sudden that shit? Literally fuck this game.
