The Friendlies Thread

Pudsy33 · 07-03-2012 11:12am #1

With all the requests for friendly going on in the megathread, thought it might be a good idea to set this up. Post here if you are looking for someone to play a game with outside of the franchise fixtures. This might also be handy for potential new members to play some of the old heads

Noodles121 · 07-03-2012 11:38am

Any chance of getting some PS3 friendles/league. I know most of the people here are Xbox users, but I can't really justify buying an Xbox just to play online....

Anyone interested?

I'll sticky a PS3 league request at the top...

Noodles121 · 07-03-2012 11:41am

Thanks Helimachopter. we could have a playoff between the winner of the Xbox league and the PS3 league. A console Super Bowl if you will.

helimachoptor · 07-03-2012 11:42am

I beat you enough as it is.. on any console!

SantryRed · 07-03-2012 12:05pm

Lads, where's the cheapest place to get Madden 12 for the PS3? If I can get it for 15 quid I'll set it up, win it too to be ultimate champion!!!

The_Gatsby · 07-03-2012 3:47pm

empacher · 07-03-2012 8:03pm

anyone free now? My JumboPair offensive needs works

McG · 07-03-2012 9:35pm

anyone on for a game starting in the next 20min or so, send me a game invite (Sundalic)

McG · 07-03-2012 10:39pm

Cheers for the game Mike. Very odd looking at the stats after that and at how few times I ran the ball, not at all how I play during league games. Nice to be a able to air it out like that and not just when I'm trying to come from behind and short on time.

mikemac1 · 07-03-2012 10:45pm

Curse my lack of discipline

Packers back in inside their red zone, four points down and needing a TD to win. Fourth quarter, inside the two minute warning, pressure on

Ravens go all out blitz for the crushing sack and left nobody over the middle to cover :rolleyes:
Burned

You have a good play there over the middle exposing the linebackers, the TE just beats them to the ball. Ray Lewis had a right rough time out there in coverage.

However when you went up against a CB it didn't work, Jimmy Smith with two picks

Yep, good game

Raoul · 07-03-2012 11:29pm

Anyone on for a game right now?

I'll be on for a game at about 11 if you're interested?

Also, on a separate note, tried adding Ben SFC for a friendly today, you're friends list is full apparently

Raoul · 07-03-2012 11:35pm

Eamonn87 is my gamertag. 11 might be too late. Add me as soon as you can get on and I will see

Raoul · 07-03-2012 11:38pm

Just a reminder people should join the boards community, simply called boards and we should play the games from there. That way all win and loss ratios will be recorded.

What's the password for that, Raoul? I think I tried to join it before and it asked me for a password.

Raoul · 07-03-2012 11:57pm

Good question. I didn't set it up.

Try bfl2012 or just boards or boardsie.

No idea what else it could be

IS this adding the boards gamertag as a friend thing?

None of those worked

Somebody must know, apparently there are 14 members...

adrian522 · 08-03-2012 11:24am

Here you go, form the Madden megathread

Hope you don't mind (as the new guy round here) but I've set up a XBox360 Community (unrelated to the online Franchise) for the Boards.ie folks. Join in! (Even though I want to hurt my Xbox after a FIVE pick outing)

Community Name : Boards ie (that's a space where a dot would usually be)
Abbreviation : BIE
Password : 33668312

Raoul · 08-03-2012 12:00pm

Hmm...don't think I ever would have guessed that password.

I'll give you one. Actually you're playing in the franchise, Paully, do you want a game?

adrian522 · 08-03-2012 10:30pm

was just playing offline franchise, free to play tough

Paully D · 08-03-2012 11:05pm

Sorry lads, I never managed to get back on for 9pm.

Won't be on now for the rest of the night but have my franchise game tomorrow at 7:30pm so I'll probably be around for a game or two after that.

matthew8 · 08-03-2012 11:40pm

Insanely good game with adrian. Broncos-Titans (he picked the Broncos and I always pick the Titans when playing the Broncos). Broncos took a 10-0 lead and seemed to be cruising until on a third down and 10 and the 1st half coming to a close Britt caught a jump ball for a 75 yard touchdown. Then the Broncos threw a pick and the Titans scored again just before the half. At the start of the second half the Titans got a FG. At the start of the 4th quarter Demaryius Thomas scored a 75 yard touchdown grab in a similar play to Britt's (though less fluky). The Titans, with the 4th quarter coming to a close, went for it on 4th and inches and converted around midfield. They then drove to the 39. With only a few seconds left, the kick was up, it was accurate, and it went off the crossbar (incidentally it was 98% power, typically on online games I get 100%, which I got for all other kicks in this game) and no good. In overtime the Broncos got the ball first, seemed to be moving it down the field when Tebow threw an interception to McCourty. Luckily for adro the Titans did nothing. Off the punt the Broncos drove it to the 32 where they kicked the winning FG. 20-17.

Stats:
Hasselbeck 122.7-13-21-188-2-0 (apart from Britt's bomb all dinky passes, a couple of which could've been pick 6s.)
Tebow 50.8-9-21-185-1-3
Johnson 34 yards on 14 carries
McGahee 131 yards and a score on 23 carries
Tebow

adrian522 · 08-03-2012 11:45pm

thanks for the game and nice write up.

You were very unlucky with the fg off the crossbar.

My first time playing with the broncos, they have some interesting plays, not sure about tebow though some of his throws were way off though the picks were all my fault...

Pudsy33 · 08-03-2012 11:48pm

Anyone fancy a game?

I find the key with Broncos is to find Fells a lot. He's an excellent receiving TE in Madden and is a big target for Tebow.

Anybody up for a friendly? GT is Specsy
