Madden 2009 FFToday Online Homer League

[edjr 6,300]

my friends and I always play on 8. Most of them aren't as proficient passing as I am, and I tend to score quite a bit when I play them (zone coverage? Please.) so they have to abandon their plans of running it to try and control the clock against me if I score early and get a lead if we play any shorter than that.

 

I'm still open to ideas, but I tend to like 7-8 minutes. If you all wanna play 5, we'll play 5, but get some experience with this "new" clock and realize that we sorta run the risk of letting one fluke play change the game if it's that short.

 

I am in total agreement.

 

you can have the lead, get the second half kickoff and almost run the clock out

 

the 40 second clock is dumb. NCAA 09 was way better as far as the clock

As it relates to how long quarters should be... do we know exactly how the league works yet? Meaning, how many games are we going to be playing? Like I said earlier.. I don't mind a 7 minute clock if we aren't playing too many games. But if we have to play 3-4 games a week or something... then I'd personally rather have a shorter game

My understanding of it is that you can just play whatever games you want to play when you're online. It's not a set schedule, you just have to play every team. They did this so one person can't hold up the league if they cant get online and play or something. So I guess you can get on and play however many games you have time for, if your opponents are online as well. So I guess it's really up to you how many you play, and when you play them.

Just wondering when the league is going to be created... eager to sign up and get going

[Me_2006 14]

bump.

I'll create it sometime tonight/tomorrow. I'd like for everyone signed up so far to give their input on settings.

[Me_2006 14]

Come on guys, let me know something. Preferences?

[edjr 6,300]

Come on guys, let me know something. Preferences?

 

7 minute quarters and then do whatever preferences they use for rated online games.

 

No injuries too. I hate injuries.

[RamslovaMartzhata 3]

Did you create the league? What's the info? Did you make it public?

Definitely no injuries, I'm leaving fatigue on though.

Fair play, 7 min quarters, all pro.

max DNF 25%?

 

I don't mind losing, but I can't stand people blatently running it up when they don't need to. I never run it up when I have the chance.

that's the max allowed DNF% to allow someone to enter the league. As long as yours is under that, you can get in. I just don't want a league full of people who "lose connection" down two scores in the 4th.

 

 

also, run the ball to protect the lead if you get up big. If someone is running it up on you, get better. There's never a reason to quit. Concede defeat if you wanna be a pussy, but don't flat out quit and rob them of the win they earned by beating your sissy ass.

I'll get on at some point tonight (have company coming over for dinner but after that I am free). I'll post here if I have any problems getting signed up.

With NE's secondary?!?? I'd better end up in the 13-15 INT and 6 or 7 TDs then or I suck bad

Thomas had 2 picks and Mayo, Harrison, Bryant and Hobbs.

 

I'm talking about my offline season, FYI.

[Kanil 520]

I'm in. I did not see a place to play any games so I am guessing that it has not been made live yet. Let me know here when we can start playing games and I'll start that day.

nevermind.

[edjr 6,300]

Looks like it's going to be me vs me

 

I'll take the AFC, you can have the NFC

I guess that leaves me with the all madden all time team. I'll take it.

[Me_2006 14]

So is there just 3 of us in so far?

[RamslovaMartzhata 3]

I tried to sign up but it said my DNF % was too high... which is weird to me because I had only played in one online game at the time and finished it?

hmm...

 

 

I'll see if I can change that then. Can you get online right now?

 

 

 

 

ETA: I can't change the league settings now. Can you try joining again? If it won't work, I can just dissolve the league and re-create it since not many of us have joined yet.

Unfortunately I am at work. Before last night I had only played one online game, and finished.

 

Then last night I tried to get into a game, and we never even started before the game got disconnected... so I'm thinking that may have counted as a DNF?

 

Then I tried to enter the league, so maybe I had a 50% DNF because of that game that never started?

 

Anyhow, I played another game after that, and I got disconnected again... but I finished out against the computer... so I hope that doesn't effect the DNF.

 

 

I have played about 10 games against a couple of buddies online, but they were unranked.. so I can't see that effecting anything. And we finished all but one of our games where my friend conceded anyhow? But I do know that my connection is strong enough at least.

 

 

 

Anyhow, I say sit tight... I'll just some more games in and get that DNF % down. That being said... I have NEVER quit on a game so it is a bit frustrating.

Alright, just play enough to get it under that mark, and we'll be good to go. Good to know you don't quit, that's all that matters.

you need to get online and play a bit. I don't want to hear any bitching when you lag and aren't used to it.

I played NCAA 09 online and the lag was a joke.

It's honestly not bad on Madden. Just compensate a bit for kicking meter stuff, but otherwise it's no problem at all from what I've seen.

Ya, the kicking meter is the only thing I notice with lag... that and selecting a play is a bit slower. It actually is very good for an online sports game IMO.

My game is still on the way from Amazon. Should be here in the next day or two though. I'll get signed up once it comes.

I will sign up with the Lions tomorrow.

It took me awhile, but I'm in.

 

Be gentle with me. It's my first time.

 

[edjr 6,300]

Ugh, I suck balls.

 

I lost to the Rams last night. 20 - 17 - 7 minute quarters

 

I had the ball down to the Rams 20 with 15 seconds to go, clock running, I pressed the wrong button and did a hurry up pass instead of spike it, I tried to throw the ball away and Washington caught it.
