    GB – 14 / 14 / 17 / 7 = 52
    ATL – 7 / 7 / 6 / 0 = 20

    Passing
    GB – 18/24 att, 407 yards, 5 TD, 2 Int,
    ATL –26/39 att, 296 yards, 2 TD, 1 Int,

    GB - 1 sacks
    ATL - 1 sacks

    GB – 20 att, 159 yards, 1 TD, 1 Fum
    ATL – 28 att, 296 yards, 1 TD, 1 Fum

    unlucky start by the falcons picked me off on my first drive but fumbled and i recovered on the same play if not for that fumble it could have been a different game.

    Wow, well done Packers. Even the slightest edge in personnel can make a Madden game a blowout.

    it really was closer than the score says

    I don't think so. First of all, my defense was absolutely shocking and it's something has continued to trouble. Defense has always been my weakness and I simply cannot figure it out. I am constantly getting burnt for 40+ yard plays, it does my head in. Secondly, I missed chances. You threw a pick and I didn't get a score. You then had to punt (or maybe it was the other way around?) And I didn't score again. I should have capitalised on those chances and it would have been a different game.

    games are made or lost on inches i genuinely think if you didn't fumble that pick on the first play it would have been a different game

    Packers win the super plate

    GB – 7 / 0 / 7 / 17 = 31
    NE – 0/ 6 / 0 / 0 = 6

    Passing
    GB – 10/17 att, 165 yards, 1 TD, 2 Int,
    NE –18/33 att, 245 yards, 0 TD, 3 Int,

    GB - 1 sacks
    NE - 3 sacks

    Rushing

    GB – 15 att, 67 yards, 1 TD, 1 Fum
    NE – 11 att, 34 yards, 0 TD, 2 Fum

    good game all in all pats where very unlucky with picks and fumbles at very inopportune times otherwise it was a far closer game

    nice to win something in my first year cheers for the games lads it was a lot better than sitting on our hands watching the lads in the real playoffs

    Next year I propose a draft lottery for picks next year since first pick won it this year, and the only team that really challenged them was very close overall to them and imo a better Madden team.

    hey dont take away from the win like that the only team i played that i was better than ovr was falcons and i had to play an extra game

    First quarter Packers recover a fumble for 32yard TD run 7

    Patriots respond with two redzone field goals. in the second quarter shutting down packers offence.

    Third Quarter packers march up the field nicely to finish with a 10 yard pass to starks for 7.

    14-6 going into the fourth.

    4th quarter nick collins int and returns for a 63yard TD

    Packers kick a field goal going up 24-6

    stark runs in a TD to seal it at 31-6

    Was a pretty even game until the 2nd half. When 3 fumbles and 2 int inside the redzone killed my chance of going up. and the one other int was in the 4th and killed any fight i had left.


    Well done Carlos Nervous Handshake, Im sure the NFC East will be more interesting with you around

    Yeah I don't think the teams have much to do with it tbh.

    Well done nerd, was hoping you'd win :pac:

    Matthew you got the best ovr team and you were last pick, you had the biggest advantage.

    I'm not taking away from the win, I'm just saying that next year I'd like to see everyone on a more level playing field perhaps. It's not personal either, I got the team that I thought and still believe are the best in Madden. It would also add some excitement to the whole tournament.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,961 ✭✭✭Raoul


    That was the fairest way possible to pick the teams without doubt. There was only 9 of us in the thing and most of us actually got the teams we wanted.

    Congrats Carlos Nervous Handshake

    You should be hoping that you won't be involved in the plate at all next year.

    You make it sound like player skill doesn't matter and games are won on paper with the madden stats

    Yeah its crazy, I've regularly played a mate and he's been the Pats and I've been the Titans and I can beat him fairly regularly.
    While player stats will have an impact, the human is the most important variable.
