Was a good game Prince scoreline totally flatters me i only pulled away in the last few minutes. Was quite worried after you came back with that late touch down that things may sway your way but i think the TO's killed it for you.

On a unrelated note running the ball in Madden is WAY to easy i had a guy rated 59 or something tonight go for 200 yards and 4 tds against a pretty damn good front four.

Thanks for the game, was tight going into the third but you capitalised on some very bad decisions.

Your crazy rushing yards may have been helped by my rush defence, it's shocking tbh. I can't run for love nor money, it doesn't help that I only have Brown and Johnson, but do I think speed is a much more decisive factor than it should be.

Pmmd niballer just to remind him to get his game played before tomorrow night. I think for the xmas period we should give people from Thursday until Monday after new years. Then just get back to the one week.

my game played against superman aka the cpu aka mindreader!!!

seemed to know my every move hence the hammering i received!!!

I seen that. I wasn't going to say anything. :P

At least next season you will be after having a draft and the team will be more "your team".

No, the draft is never great actually. But still the odd time you can get a really good player.

Hopefully there will be a few trades next season. Cos I missed the draft, I have a really old team. So I can't imagine my team being as good next season.

That's something that had me wondering, how does the draft work? Since there is no scouting (I hope...unless I've missed something major >< ) do we just see all of the rookies stats?
Or do we just get Potential or Overall rating?

Week hasn't been advanced yet. We will just have to wait until Santry gets a chance to do it.

Would be good if you could do it on the online console or allow more than one person to advance the game week.

Jaysus......I don't think I've had a more exciting/nail biting game in a very long time.
Browns 35 - 27 Steelers (CPU)

Steelers got the ball first and scored a TD their first possession. Garrard to Driver for 38 yards, kick by Kaeding is good.
On to the field comes Cam Newton, pride of {Cam Newtons College Team}. Incomplete pass; sacked for -10 yards, had to throw it away on 3rd down, then punt it away.
Steelers get 3 on there next possession but looks like it will be a long day for the Browns D.
Newton sacked for 10 yards again, -1 yard rush by Jahvid Best, incomplete pass and a punt.
End of 1st Quarter, 10-0 PIT

Pittsburgh punts away on next possession.

Two incompletions rattle Newton, before Alge Crumpler who is in for the injured Shockey breaks open down the middle for 34 yards and a 1st down Browns!
Then newton got hit for -8 sack, and a hand full of incompletions before Cleveland punter Chris Kluwe pins the Black and Gold on their 4 yard line.

Pittsburgh run the ball, +2, -4, +1 and then punt it away with Antonio Brown setting them up with great position on the opposition 38. Then cam newton throws an interception.....
Then a whole load of incomplete passes on both sides before a moment of beauty on 3rd and 10 on their own 20 yard line. C.Newton pass to B. Lloyd for a 80 yard TD.

Pumpfake completely outsmarts CB Foxworth with a pumpfake giving Lloyd a teensy bit of separation. Catches it at the 35 but two steelers defenders are hot on his tail. Can he outrun them...****, no he can't.....cue some erratic snaking left and right before they both miss diving tackles and he gets it in for 6. Feely xp is good.

Half Time 10-7 PIT
Highlights of the 3rd quarter.
Newton getting sacked.
Benson running riot breaking tackles left right and centre, getting a TD.
Newton getting sacked
Newton to D.Jones for 50 yards.
Best running it in for 6.
Garrard getting sacked.

End of 3rd Quarter. 17-14 PIT

Start of 4th.
Marcus Trufant with the pick returns it for 33 yards.
Best runs it in for 6. Feely is good. (21-17 CLE)
Benson breaks it open on the first play of the drive for 76 yards and six points on the board. Kaeding is good. (24-21 PIT)
Browns go 3 and out and punt it away with 4.42 left in the game down
Pittsburgh gets a FG. (27-21 PIT)
Browns are panicking now and have to kick it away after three incomplete passes.
Pittsburgh fumbles the ball on their next possession, Browns recover and get a touchdown out of the turnover. (28-27 CLE)

Pittsburgh gets good field position out of the kick return and are driving solidly down the field when the browns secondary does what they do best and pick the ball.

Less than 90 seconds left, I'm thinking I'll just do an inside handoff to run the clock out. Nice and safe. Jahvid Best gets the handoff, cuts inside and suddenly finds himself in the secondary, breaks a tackle and is free up the sideline.

As I'm diving over the goalline I'm thinking to myself Oh God, why didn't I just run the clock down....They still have 42 seconds to get a TD and 2XP.
Up steps the cleveland secondary who get a pick and the game ends.

Browns go 5-8, the playoff dream is still a flicker at the end of a tunnel....for now.
All I need is the Ravens, Texans and Titans to lose all their games, and for me to win all mine and I'll get the #6 seed
