lol, talk to you in a couple weeks when you're wondering what else there is to do in SC2 now that you have finished it. Not knocking the game, of course, since I never played it. Fighting games aren't my cup of tea, hehe.

Maybe you'll learn from your mistakes and get Madden again somewhere down the line.

:D

And yes, NFL Blitz is fun....for about 15 minutes :D

NFL Blitz is fun for ages when you play with friends :D

isn't any game like that?

:D

Damn, hate it when you people make a good point :)

If he ever wants it again, he can buy it next year for 50 cents <3

Sports games have no value, DDRMAX2 is better, more fun, happy, actually makes you move, and so sweet loving.

[Except for Winning 11, one of the only good sports games, ever]

I was always a fan of Madden until I got the 2004 edition for X-box.

Sure it looks amazing and the features are awesome but Franchise mode got me MAD!!!

On 2 occasions I re-signed key players to 2 or 3 year deals during the season; when that season ended I had to sing them up again !!??


I was broke so instead of charging $9 for a foam finger and $7 for a hot-dog to recuperate my losses I promptly sold back my game and waiting for NHL 2004...

nickdawgy 09-01-03 11:23 PM

can't wait for NHL 2004, I heard it has the same deep franchise as Madden :D

In the interests of uncovering the truth, I took it upon myself to try out Madden 2004 for the first time at Best Buy on Pro difficulty with 5 minute quarters. I picked up the game on the side of the Broncos against the Colts, partway through the first quarter, with no one on the board.

I ended up stompling the Colts 35-30. On my way to the win I directly caused two fumbles and one blocked PAT. I played pretty aggressively on offense, going for it most of the time on 4th down. My QB ended up throwing for a little over 200 yds and 4 TDs, earning him the Chuck Wagon Player of the Game title or whatever quirky Maddenism they gave him.

Sorry d00der.

Well, I can pretty much score at will (except when I magically contract fumblitis) - but I still can't stop anyone on defense. Typical scores for me are 42-40...

I never stop anyone when I need to. Anytime the computer needs to score, it does. One play, 80 yards, touchdown.

I've been using playmaker, adjusting my linebackers but I still just keep giving up the big plays. I switch to CB's - I don't switch, it doesn't seem to matter.

How do I stop the bleeding on defense??

I have made some free agent moves with my 15 mil in cap room to shore up some of the weak areas on both lines. I got a 3rd receiver(Westbrook), and a TE(Walls), signed McGahee. Should give me enough options on offense.

I hit the receivers as they break.. not as they are already breaking.
I can't stop a 3rd and long to save my life.
I can't stop 25% of the kick/punt returns.

I give up.


I feel your pain. I gave up over 90 points in one game and the next game I was down 42-0 by the middle of 2nd quarter. I havent played since.

90 points? rotfl

How many minutes per quarter? I play 5 and it takes me like 6-7 games to allow 90 points.

Deadman31 09-02-03 06:18 PM

well, that was after, I gave up 82 and 13(I won against the Bengals YAAAA!!). The game is too hard, or I really suck

lol
