All games I play online will be recorded here.
Guidelines:
I ONLY PLAY TRACKER GAMES
If you're not signed up to VSN's Tracker, don't ask for a game. I want my games to mean something, even when I'm 3-6.
5-15 min quarters (accelerated clock for 9 min quarters or longer)
All-Madden or All-Pro (your choice)
SIM PLAY
Despite the pic, I don't always use the Eagles. I like to match up.
I do all the stat tracking. If we play, I take all the key player and team stats. You have no work to do.
SCOUTING REPORT ON DAVE:
Michael Vick policy: I will use him the same way the Eagles do in the real NFL. If he's used occasionally in wildcat, that's all he gets with the Birds. If he rises to be the #2 QB, that's where he is on the Birds. If McNabb is injured, whichever QB replaces him is THE quarterback. So if it's Kolb in real life, it's Kolb for me. #5 is THE quarterback in these parts.
Offence: I will use shotgun a lot with the Eagles, including 1st downs, I will play Andy Reid's 65-35 pass/run offence. I will use all of my receivers during a game. If I don't finish a game with 7 or 8 receivers catching a pass, I feel like I've let you down as a friend and opponent. If I use another team, I will use their offensive philosophy.
Defence: If I use the Eagles, I respect Jim Johnson and blitz like a mofo. I mix man/zone religiously. You will never have to worry about facing a one-trick pony on D. If I use a team other than the Eagles, I am likely to blitz more often than not, but I will do my best to respect that team's defensive gameplan.
Wildcat formation: You will see it once or twice a game. That's it. Some games you may not see it at all. Desean Jackson is my wildcat quarterback, barring injury or Vick taking over.
Playbooks: I am debating a move away from the Eagles' playbook on offence. I will never, however, stray on defence. I will always use the team's defensive playbook.
Weather and time: I like night games. The weather I use is related to weather in that area.
Special teams: I am always respectful of my opponent. If I'm on 4th down outside the 38 yard line, I will punt 99% of the time.
4th and inches: From the 31-40 yd line, I'm going for it on almost all 4th down situations. Akers simply can't make a FG past 48-yards for me. Of course, this depends on the game situation.

TEAMS I USE:
Eagles about 80% of the time, Bills 10% and various other teams the rest of the time. If you want to play your regular season opponent from any given week, just let me know. Chances are I'll do it. I love using different teams and playbooks. If you're going to force me to use a gay team like Dallas or Tampa Bay, the least you can do is fulfill my wish for a 6-minute quarter game.

IF IT'S PAST MIDNIGHT:
I may hit the pause button more than you'd like. I blame beer and beer pee. Most of you cats know I love my beer after midnight. Alcoholics are quitters. I'm a drunk. Anyway, if you notice a few pauses, deal with it. You were warned ... and I'll still give you a great game report.
I ONLY PLAY ESTABLISHED STR8 PLAYERS:
If you're new here with no standing in the online community (VSN/MM/MN) I am simply not interested. I need to know I will not sit through an hour-long game only to be greatly disappointed. My Madden time is precious to me. Until my trusted Madden buddies vouch for you, sorry...
RESPECT:
Feel free to hit back if I call you out, feel free to issue a scouting report on my game, but if you show me any personal disrespect in this thread I will never play you again. I put a lot of work into this thread to make it enjoyable for all, the last thing I need is unnecessary crap in it.
