    Yeah he did.. not sure if he came back or not though.
    I got the impression he was busy and just wasnt able to play that particular game.

    Think he had work.

    Cowboys and Rams are having some connection issues. We keep getting the ''failed to retrieve game information from opponent'' message.

    Had a look around the internet to find possible solutions (check we're not using the same make of router, check to see there's no injured player starting on the depth chart, etc) and we still had no luck.

    According to the EA forums and other places like Madden School it's a common enough problem, first I heard of it was tonight. Typical EA/Madden there's nothing ever straightforward :rolleyes:

    Rams, I'm not sure if we'll get to play this at all as other posters on the forums I have checked say they tried on different days and still had the same problem.

    What happens now?

    My previous time i simmed an lost but i dont mind if we sim this one. Annoyed as i really wanted to play you. I thought i could lose by as few as ten points.

    I don't know about the losing, I really struggle against human players so you definitely would have had a chance of winning this one.

    Yeah no problem mate, we'll simulate it so. Best of luck with the coin toss that is a simmed game :pac:

    Don't look so suprised, he has a top running game...38 is a bit of padding surely.

    Well i more meant beating the buccs and not letting them score.
    Stevo is quite the player and keeping him to no score is a great achievement!

    So is it just BPrince's game left to play? Apart from the ones that have to be simmed?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,636 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    so only 3 games (?) to play?

    Cowboys @ Rams
    Eagles @ Giants (unable to played)
    Panthers @ Saints (not sure on panthers)


  • Registered Users Posts: 986 ✭✭✭etloveslsd


    That issue with the Cowboys/Rams is the same thing that happened to me twice this season, is a real pain.

    Just to confirm, Eagles/Giants is to be simmed


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,636 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Ah ok, so we are just waiting on the panthers.

    Dave has Pm'd/emailed him so we should know if he's going to play his game or not.
    If not then we can advance and sim the games.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,090 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    Well the Panthers havn't rejoined so if we don't hear back I think we should advance this evening.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,674 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Don't think that is fair. He has until Saturday to play. He was good enough to accommodate us by leaving the league so that it could be advanced. So think we should give him a chance.

    Yep i'd go with this.
    If he cant play he'll tell us but if we dont hear back we have to assume he's going to play.

    Not everyone is on boards as much as us!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,674 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Talked to BPrince. He is too busy to get the game played and hopes to get back on in the next couple of weeks.

  • Registered Users Posts: 7,674 ✭✭✭Raoul

    I am. Well we're not happy with EA. We both agreed last nite it would be a sim.

    My hatred for EA grows and grows. Has anyone ever played NBA2K11 or 12? It has an online mode and it puts EA and Madden to shame.

    Yeah played both of them, 2k12 online mode is so sweet.
    Know basketball schedule is different, but the ability to lay games whenever you want is so handy.

    Lost 19-14, only one injury tho, my kick returner is out for a week.
