Where will this leave us so far with CPU games left after the 3 user games are done?

I saw one CPU game that was done, cant remember who tho...

it was mine Errig. Lost to Houston 34-31. Close game and I should have won but it's all good.

Yeah i just lost 21-14 to skillz, ugh 3 ints killed me, and a punt return TD for him

wow that sounds like a tough game E.

yeah it was.. dumb mistakes on my part.. passes I should have never thrown, but he has a legit O and D. Great game, always love the low scoring ones

and it doesnt help i lost my starting HB on my first run for the game. he is key

Upset ASU!!!!!

nice job

Great game Regggie. He tried to let me comeback but truthfully I just got out played. I had a pretty terribly timed muffed punt return but other than that I just got beat down. Oh well on to next week minus my #1 HB for 10 weeks.

I do have one question and it could very well be a game killer for me. This is not why I lost I just wanna see if everyone is struggling the same as me. I have controlled my MLB every year for 15 plus years and I am usually pretty solid in stuffing the run and taking away the middle slants and drags. My question is; this dumb mother fucker will not reach out his hands for shit. I'm LBing I'm hitting Y it doesn't matter what I do he just fuckin stands there and watches the guy catch the ball. Is it broken or is it different this year?

I know it's easy to say it was a fun game after winning, but it was one of those games where there were like 3 key plays that determined the game.


We both made some silly mistakes.
Errig went too far inside on a punt return and I completely whiffed on a hit stick that led to a long touchdown.

During the first half we both didn't get a lot done, but it was a cool field position battle.
Oh! And how about that Hail Mary at the end of the first half??

I can't remember a time since NCAA 11' that I got a legit Hail Mary pass. BJ Daniels overthrew the inside route and ended up looking amazing, placing it perfectly in the corner of the endzone for a score.

Errig's balance and patience is good and his hit stick is solid.

I'll do the scouting report in a sec, but it was a good game.

One of those, like I said, 3 key plays game.

Yeah Errig, I saw that happen and I wondered how important he was in your offense. I think your guy still had about 12 car for 55 yards, but it could have been easily more. And the starter could have been faster.
At least it wasn't for an extended period.

I feel like it plays more 2k12ish.
A little more of a floaty movement with less control.
I feel like I have to treat mine more as a rover than a cover guy if that makes sense.

Our game was good, KSU did have some ill timed turnovers, the punt, and the int inside his 40. But he almost made a comeback on me, I had a few crucial 3rd and mediums i converted in the last few minutes that helped me to a win, It looks like I lost my HB, i dont know how long for and KSU lost theirs for 10 weeks bummer. Hopefully i can keep this win streak going. Who knows...It was a good game for me because this is my first game online since i went winless against users in my past madden league. I usually stay away from online. But this was a Good game, this league is going to be competitive and fun

Can you get him to reach out? I can rove all day long but when he throws probably 10 balls straight at me and I hit LB this dumb baby arm fucker just chills. Does LB work for you guys?

Come to think about not all that much. I wouldn't call it broken though. I'm gunna work on it more.

dipsh it's not just the linebackers, it's the corners, safeties and wide receivers. For some reason they won't jump up or even attempt to catch the ball if you try to user it. And what makes this even more shitty is that this happens because of the tuning update. When you delete the tuner, it plays so great. People that don't play online say this is the best football game ever, because they don't have the tuner update and the receivers and corners go up for the ball and battle each other. I don't see that with this tuner. But to play online you have to have the tuner. But if you guys have free time delete the tuner and play a game or two and you'll see what I'm talking about. The game plays so well without the tuner and it's a damn shame we can't experience it with online. And you can always re download the tuner after you delete it

Bummer.

Yeah there is a thread about this on OS, its called User Catching but in the thread people talk about issues with usering anything. It doesn't seem to be an all the time thing for everybody, but I can't get a single mfer to swat a ball. I have gotten guys on D to go for a pick but not swat the ball away.

IU is right though, its the tuner. THere are some pretty nice aggressive DBs and WRs without the tuner. Really hope they fix this soon
