no doubt... I dont seem to be getting any better either. I cant win without an ace in the hole. Thats why I use the titans or patriots...Tom Brady and Chris Johnson.

I saw u on again last night,but I guess u were playing another game. Thats alright. Imriding a 9 game win streak, and trying to get back to .500...Im at 24-27 right now. My last game last night was epic. It was 3-3 at the half. I found myself down 24-14 with 3:00 to go in the 4th on defense. I got a pick 6 with my D-lineman then forced a 3andout, drove for a tying FG, forced OT, won the toss and drove down the field for a gw FG...slept goood last night, lol.

Honestly, I think most of us are stuck on Modern Warfare 2 right now, lol.

I'll, uh, see about motivating the people whose games have yet to be played, to finish ASAP.

I'm not stuck on MW2 but I am stuck in week 6! You said that Wed. was the dead line to complete games each week.

[McBoller]

seriously, two more days and we're FIVE weeks behind schedule!!!

Honestly, I was really interested in this from the start but at this point it is getting to be ridiculous with all of the delays.

[J-man]

When ever I try to get into the league it says the franchise servers are down

I get that about 50% of the times as well...gotta keep trying.

Its now the wednesday of week 11 and we are somehow 5 weeks behind schedule.

[theFRANCHISE]

I'm thinking of options.

Option 1) Simulate the rest of the season and go into Year 2

Option 2) Simulate to playoffs and pick it up from there

Option 3) Scrap the league altogether and start it up again when we're all not as busy

Can you sim single games? If so set a deadline(I thought you already did) and if the game isnt played in time(maybe a 2 day grace period for user-vs-user if something is set up in time) then sim it and move to the next week. At least we'll have a chance to finish the season by the end of the real season that way. If you go to season 2 now, were screwed anyways.

I can't sim single games, only whole weeks. The deadline was today, and I'm simming to at least next week tonight.

Another option is to sim up to Week 11, but that means J-Man's and RavenRage92's undefeated streaks are possibly in jeopardy. Marc2k6 has already withdrawn from the league, I see, so his undefeated streak doesn't matter. My buddies controlling the Packers and Chargers barely touch Madden these days because of Modern Warfare 2, so I doubt they'll be back or up for playing on a regular basis.

It's basically down to four of us (myself, McBoller, RavenRage92, and J-Man) and all of us have varying degrees of availability but HAVE been able to coordinate user-vs-user games. What's the general consensus as to what we should do?

[RavenRage92]

I would be down for whatever, if you want to sim to week 11 then go for it, my winless streak doesnt matter to me as long as i make the playoff haha

[J-man]

I was thinking the same thing. Sim to the playoffs please. It will make it more fun then just like ugh, another CPU boring game.

[theFRANCHISE]

Alright, gonna just take a gamble and sim to the playoffs. I'll do it in a couple hours or tomorrow at the very latest because i still have some homework to finish up.

lol, cpu games are the only ones I can win...

[theFRANCHISE]

PSN wouldn't let me log in last night for some reason (well, then again, my internet connection at home was lagging last night, period, so that might be it...) but I'll simulate to the playoffs tonight and see what happens.

[RavenRage92]

For some reason it hasnt been letting me log into the Franchise section, maybe thats changed in the last few days i dont know.

It wouldn't even let me log into PSN at all last night, but that may have just been a connection issue on my part. Either way, like I said, we'll be in the playoffs tonight and we'll get coordinated over the next couple days.

We'll see how we feel before we even think about going into Year 2.

[FlaccoFlicker]

psn had a maitenence last night as far as i know

[Marc2k6]

Anyone that wants to play send me a friend request marc2k6!

[theFRANCHISE]

So...it'll only let me simulate one week every 30 minutes. We'll get in the playoffs EVENTUALLY...lol.

[McBoller]

The servers haven't been cooperating whenever I've been online to go sim!... I think there might be a glitch, because the max users that I set to be allowed for the league are greater than the number of users active in the league. I read somewhere about it, but not sure if it's the case. Either way, it's gonna be awhile...

(And you still owe me a rematch!)

I wonder what the problem is?? I have no problem getting online and into the league servers, Ive been checking every day to see if its advanced.

I really am praying it's the glitch that's the issue, because I'm a bit anxious to just finish the playoffs and get back on the wagon with the other video games I'm juggling.

There's only so much Modern Warfare 2/Smackdown 2010/LittleBigPlanet I can play all at once!...

[J-man]

Mine can never connect neither

[theFRANCHISE]

I think we just all gave up on this b/c we're having too much fun with other things. lol. That, and we pretty much play each other on the side every once in awhile anyway.
