I'd be down with the day but the time to like, 11pm EST as I don't get home from work until 9:30pm CST and I'd actually like to draft my players and not rely on pre-ranking.

'nother valet: Traci Brooks

Naw, LotC.. I kinda thought this is what it was about too..

Punter - Matt Turk Hasn't had a punt blocked in ages..

Penn for the win.

Shipley's Do-Nuts (a Houston original) is far better than Krispey Kreme or Dunkin's...and you can get donuts / coffee for under 2 bucks too.

I know what the special skills are..like I said, just seem to suck more on this version than I have in alot of others.

I actually don't mind Madden and Head Coach being packed together, it gives it that overall "collecters edition" feel you'd get with other movie releases. I haven't done a franchise yet because I'm waiting to see if they'll be an update to fix rosters or what not. Personal Madden IQ is at 537 right now. Compared to last year's title I feel like I completely suck at this game and will be an easy win for whoever plays me in the league this year..

'nother round, 'nother valet: April Hunter

If I were being a smart-ass, I'd point out that you're the exact person that EA doesn't have to worry about selling the game to because you're going to buy it regardless so any point you make is moot. The rewind feature while it might seem broken and a way for a player to win the game by hook or crook.. well, how many people that are casual gamer's are going to want to sit there and get upset after throwing a pick 6 that cost them the game? How many are going to want to run the ball and have it knocked loose then watch the CPU sit on the clock? None bro..that's why the feature is in there. It lets those people that aren't concerned with going online and playing ranked games.. those that could care less about how it might seem like "bullshit coddling"..the guy's that pick up Madden to play with their kids or their buddies. Those are the one's that'll use it and *GASP* have FUN with the game. Hell, if someone's such a great Madden-player, then you can easily force the rewind's out of someone's hand by playing solid defense / offense.. forcing them to jump the gun and use the replays. Hell, if you've even noticed.. after you use a replay, the CPU defense usually audible's into a scheme to stop your play.

Then turn it off and don't play with the rewind feature. Its in there because if you haven't noticed (which obviously, you haven't...) Madden's been trying to cater to the more casual Madden fan over the past few years. They know they've got the hardcore Madden fan that's going to wait until midnight and partake in the Maddenoliday. The casual Madden player that plays the game because they're an NFL fan would probably love the idea of being able to un-do a fuck up and in the process, I don't know... LEARN from the mistake and become a better player.

Alright, let's see if I don't get an error this time.. My next tag team: Villano IV and Villano V

there's no link in your post, bro.. which is why I was asking.

can't say? That sucks.

How'd you get the beta, Matt?

I've got Brock winning in the 2nd

Texans win 19-16. Ahman Green went down on his first carry (no one touched him, he lost his footing on a bad cut) and was held out of the game with a strained right groin. *sigh* Schaub looked good as did the defense. Slaton had some flashes and our 3rd stringer.. Boyd.. was decent.

wow...Manny got knocked the fuck out

Not a near fall or whatever.. but after just seeing the ROH DVD with their bloodiest brawls.. the Gen Next / Embassy cage match where Evans climbs to the top and springboards off of someone being held on top of the cage by Aries then moonsaults onto Abyss. Yeah..I jumped off of my couch..

KR / PR: Andre Davis

wow, I did not think I'd get voted that low..

That's cool, I just want to know where I got ranked.

So...people are picking people to either be the voice of the company or a figure head.. I figure I could draft one man who could be both.. Paul Boesch

Picking a WR that I think gets looked over even though he was on six Super Bowl teams. WR- Don Beebe

Don't know if it was mentioned in the off-season thread, but ESPN's got an article up about Caleb Campbell, the player from Army that Detroit drafted. Apparently, there was no rule that would allow him to stay off his duty and he's now to be an assistant coach to the Army team this season before being re-assigned. Link to ESPN article
