Actually – any chance we could play at 7 or 8:30? I kinda wanna watch Community…

Haha, that’s fine. We can actually play tonight if you’re around. I got home earlier than I expected.

Let’s do it! I’m logging in right now.

Thursday will probably work. I should be on between 7:00 and 8:00 pm eastern.

Sounds good.

Erik J.:

Let me know if you still want to do this trade Omni. Maybe they just need a change of scenery.

I’ll think about it. Williams actually didn’t drop all his passes (for once) in the opening game, so maybe he’s settling in.

Not sure if my mic was effing up at the end there, but good game! Bills lose their opener (away of course) to begin the season. Boooooooo.

Great game – lots of exciting moments! My mic is TERRIBLE. In fact, it was so terrible that in the middle of the game I logged onto Amazon and ordered a wireless nice looking one that will hopefully not suck. I could barely hear what you were saying and I had it broadcasting over the TV AND over the Mic.

Yeah, was real back and forth for awhile there until Davis decided to throw to your guys instead of mine.

Four games left for Week 1! Sooner we get those in, the sooner we can roll over!

Maybe if we pound through the season quick enough, we’ll have time for a third!

Where is the list of who is what again? The first page holds last seasons… I want to IM my guy, but I do not know his name off hand…

New Orleans is Technoverse on Qt3 and BulletBlueSky on Xbox Live.

For those done with the draft (duh) and free agency, you might want to check and fix jersey numbers, as the game does not fix them itself.

If you want to realistically anal about it, here’s the list of proper position=number, and here’s the list of retired numbers for each team. Might also want to check official team rosters to see if a player changed their number during the season (for example Trumaine McBride changed from 37 to 23 during the season, something I’ll be fixing in my game).

To change jersey numbers, go to Player Management, select a player, press A, and one of the options will allow you to change them.

Nute should start a new thread for season 2 – would make things a little simpler in that regard.

Yay! Someone else does this!

Omniscia · 2011-02-10T06:11:17.000Z

Why does it matter what their jersey numbers are? I’m just going to toss it to the guy who’s open, identifying him by the little floating Xbox button above his head. Isn’t that how Peyton Manning does it?

No, Peyton Manning is in an empty hotel where Reggie Wayne is getting eaten by sharks. Every pass is a nightmare where he is trapped inside his own mind until he manages to throw the ball and for one brief second have peace. That’s why he does all those weird pre-snap movements; he’s trying to break out of his horrific visions.

This was one of the things I’ve always liked about Madden. Peyton will get to the line and audible like 4 times before he runs the play. Also, the Bills are now pissed after losing that game. Woe to my next opponent!

EDIT: Omni, I noticed our game is next. We can pull one of those deals where players get traded and they just walk over to the other locker room.

Omniscia · 2011-02-10T06:54:31.000Z

Whoa. The Dolphins share the division (and the conference) lead for once? That’s not going to last.

I’m still kinda balking at letting Roy go, after what he did in the first game, and I’m also worried about Bryant’s durability, but I still feel he’d be a better fit for my style and worry that Roy’s performance is a fluke.

What the hell, let’s do it.

That was kind of my reasoning: “Why the hell not?” It’s good to see movement.

Childan · 2011-02-10T07:18:41.000Z

My bad for not posting on here much, been real busy with school so haven’t had much time to read/post on the forums.

@dalin kal-didn’t see your PM until today, and I’m still too much of a newb to the forums that I can’t send PMs. When I went on Madden I didn’t see the offer, but if you are still interested send it to me again. I’m out of town until Sunday, so I’ll let you know what I think about it then.
Anyone else who wants to contact me until I get enough posts for PM privileges can do so at my xbox live tag: Childan. I would have put my e-mail address on here but it says I need 50 posts?

Oh, and finally I promise not to run up the score on the comp again ;0.
