I wish i could play in work on a 3000 grand tv. It's not considered work when I'm considering either Blitzing with man coverage or Zone. Damn Nation !

Ill be on at some point tomorrow in the afternoon if anyone wants a game.

Paully D

Anyone want a game in 15 minutes? I might have to leave for 10 minutes + to take a phone call during the game but probably won't.

Should that no be an interception?

Paully D

Will anyone be on late for a game or two? After Match of the Day, so around 11:45pm?

McG

anyone on now? I'm going to play a game against the computer now but if anyone wants to start a game in the next 20mins or so invite me and I'll quit that one

just got hammered by LargeTacoFries. 6 interceptions throw (3 were returned for TDs!). In my defence it was the laggiest game I've played in a while and I hadn't used the Lions before until just a few hours ago..... all just excuses though, I was rubbish.


one interesting note. every time I play a friendly I play a completely different style to how I play in league. winning or losing I'm a complete gunslinger and just forget about running it at all. it's not intentional, I just don't think about it

How did you do so badly with the Lions? They're extremely easy to play as.

Here's a summary of Lions Falcons, me as Lions, Specsy as Falcons:
Lions: Deep pass to Calvin Johnson, TD.
Falcons: Long drive ending with a TD.
Lions: Deep pass to Calvin Johnson, TD.
Falcons: Long drive ending with a TD.
Lions: Deep pass to Calvin Johnson, TD.
Falcons: Long drive ending with a TD.
Lions: Deep pass to Calvin Johnson, TD.
Falcons: Long drive ending with a TD.
Lions: Deep pass to Calvin Johnson, TD.

Easy as pie. Stick, four verticals, any way you want it. Just have Calvin Johnson going deep right and unless the coverage is really tight send a pass his way and he'll score (also works with Heyward-Bey, Bowe, Robinson, heck it works with everyone). If the coverage is really tight give it to Pettigrew.

Game over, 34-29 to the Lions. And it's no secret I'm not very good at passing the ball in the franchise (Is there something in franchise mode that makes running easier and passing harder?). The only time I run the ball in friendlies is with DeMarco Murray.

Thanks for the game mate.

Like I said on Xbox I'm sure it would have been a completely different result in a franchise game.

Ball went backwards so it's classed as a fumble by the QB.

Beaten by heli 24-14, good game just let the game get away from me in the last 3 mins and made some stupid plays trying to get some big gains. thanks for the game

helimachoptor

Eagles @ Titans is a tight and tense game.
Titans go 10-0 due to two ints.

Eagles then take a 14-10 lead in the third quarter.

The Titans rally back with the help on another int and end up winning 24-14.

Good game empacher.

Paully ready when you are

Cowboys @ Titans!

6-3 Titans Cowboys miss 2 FGs falling just short from just under the 50 yard mark.
Then on the 22 yard line the Cowbows line up for what surely must be a FG from this distance... the hit the upright!
Titans run it and force the Cowboys to burn their TOs and then the Titans punt it away. Cowboys then cant get in FG range.

Good game Paully!

If your still around in 20 i should be about for a game pudsy

helimachoptor

Epic game with me and Pudsy

He takes a 28-21 lead and i have the ball in his redzone on 4th and 1 on the 2 yard line and dont get it, however i force a safety and then get a TD and go for 2 points to make the Panthers need a FG which they get and we got to OT.

Panthers win the toss they throw a great screen pass to get themselves practically in FG range. Panthers then get pushed back on a holding penalty to a 2nd and 15 on the Titans 42.

Panthers get into FG range and then Newton drops back in-explicably and takes a massive sack which means they miss the FG and all the Titans need is a FG now.,

Wit the first play the Titans get into FG range and after a couple of runs they knock it ove.

Pudsy play off rules dont apply so you could have kicked it and won (i think!)

Just had a really good friendly with SwankyTortoise.

Final score was Ravens (me) 19-13 Packers (SwankyTortoise).

First quarter started with Packers receiving and on their opening drive take it well into the red zone before the Ravens defence finally gets its act together and makes a stand. Packers kick a 21 yard FG to go up 3-0. Cundiff misses an easy FG to tie the game due to lag and that's the end of the first.

Second quarter sees both teams punt a couple of times before Flacco hits Rice who takes it to the house on a 24 yard run. 7-3 Ravens. Packers respond immediately with the next drive resulting in a 13 yard TD pas from Rodgers to Jones to see the Packers take a HT lead 10-7.

Third quarters action sees Rice cut up the gut to take it to the house on an 80 yard run. 14-10 Ravens. Packers drive nicely up the field and use a lot of clock too due to getting numerous first downs and end with a 29 yard FG which closes out the quarter. 14-13 Ravens.

Fourth quarter and the Ravens and Packers exchange punts a couple of times before Sam Koch pins the Packers back on their own 2 yard line. Rodgers tries the play action but the Ravens don't bite and T-Sizzle sacks Rodgers for a safety. 16-13 Ravens. Ravens use up the clock by running the ball with the odd pass to keep the chains moving and end up tagging on a 45 yard FG, Cundiff making up for that earlier miss. 19-13 Ravens. Packers need to go into no huddle now with 1 timeout left and Rodgers hits Jennings for a huge gain to get just outside the red zone. A FG is now good for Green Bay now though and the Ravens D stands firm with Pollard intercepting just outside the end zone and that's the game.

MVP - Ray Rice 120 yards on 21 rushing attempts for 1 TD, 61 yards on 3 receptions for 1 further TD.

QB Stats:

Flacco - 20 attempts, 11 completions, 179 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rodgers - 26 attempts, 16 completions, 271 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT

Thanks again for the game mate, also you'll be a very tough opponent in the franchise next season when you've had a bit of time to work with your side. Looking forward to the game next gameweek in the franchise.

I wouldn't go giving up the day job to take up a singing career though, I don't know what the Chilli Peppers would think of your Under The Bridge cover you were singing for the first half :pac:

yup me

3mins just have to finish this game

Danger_dave1

Just finished off a classic with Empacher there. Kansas City Chiefs (Me) VS Eagles ( Empacher)

Chiefs win it 10-3.. This one was all about D. The Chiefs struggled to pass the ball at all. While the Eagles struggled to run the ball. A Jamal Charles 30 yard rushing td was the difference.

Moment of the game came when derrick johnson stripped the ball from the Eagles tight end Celek on the Chiefs 32 yard line. The Chiefs recovered the fumble.

Cheers for the game mate. D rules on high eh ?
