Dave's Madden Tracker thread

[dave]

I'm not really a smiley face guy lol, but when I was basically in shotgun the whole fourth quarter trying to inch my way back into a win, which I still don't know how I did, do you really think I would call you an easy win? I'm 4 and fucking 11, the only easy win I could have would be against jim abbott.

I still can't believe Assante Samuel got ass-raped like that.
He's supposed to stop second-rate receivers like Smith.

Were you not paying attention to the game?

Someone sacked Pennington who then fumbled, Cory Redding picked the fumble up WITH NO FIGHT FOR THE FUMBLE CUTSCENE ran for a few yards and was then tackled which caused another fumble which did bring up a fight for the fumble cutscene. I recovered and was given a new set of downs due to the change of possession.

I don't pull the crap you are accusing me of.

Unlike most, I enjoy reading Dave. I also have been looking forward to getting a game in with him. I have been in reteirement for a couple of years and am really enjoying the game and wanted to get games in with all the old school guys.

After reading this Dave, I will never subject myself to this kind of attitude. I obviously was not there to witness the play. I usually go by the smell test and this smells bad.

2 things uncool...Quitting and then calling someone out for having unsportsmanship for all to see. Perception becomes realialty in places like this and that is plan ole' BS.

And MVP did nothing wrong on the play, it changed possesion, therefore he gets a new set of downs if he gets the ball back. Learn the rules stubborn dave.

I don't get this post - does this mean you will never play me or you will?

All-Madden, 6 min

Game recap:
A four turnover differential usually tells the tale of a game and this one was no exception.
The Eagles were essentially demoralized all game long. Coach Dave needs to get his team on the field more often. Playing two or three times a week not good practice. At times, coach Dave wonders if being reporter Dave after the game is such a good thing because of the time involved.

Scouting report on OOB:
Keep in mind, this guy uses a lot of different teams, so this scouting report is essentially a scouting report on how OOB used the Raiders. I simply can't guarantee he'd use other teams the same way.

A) Like Izzy and a few others, it's obvious he's playing this game to death and knows its ins and outs already. You have to keep that in mind.

B) Everything with the Raiders was short passing. Only two passes over 10 yards (yes, I counted). The Eagles were simply unable to stop the short pass game - as the player stats will show - and were deathly afraid of McFadden's speed.

C) Used his tight end a lot in this first half, probably worried old Dave was gonna flame him for it and essentially stopped using him in the second half ... or the coverage improved (unlikely)

D) All his drives were long and playcalling methodical. He wanted to play 5-min quarters at first - I declined and told him 6. Frankly, playing a guy like this, you need 8 minute quarters. He's not a big audible guy at the line, but takes a long time to call offensive plays. I'm guessing he likes substitutions - which are painful clock killers.

E) Hitsticks very effectively. You must cover up the ball anytime you have it.

F) Forgot to assign #21 to my best WR in this game in defensive matchups, which surprised me.

G) On defence, he mixes his plays and, like I said, is deadly with the hit stick.

In closing, I don't consider OOB an elite player, but he's above average no doubt. I had a hard time gauging his play, because I was too busy turning the damn ball over.

And I don't care what you think...

That's because your an immature 43 year old who doesn't know how to admit it when you are wrong.

It's a shame the one of the greatest Madden games you've ever enjoyed (vs. yours truly) is your last vs. yours truly.

Jesus what do I have to do...haha I took DSA 10-10 until the 4th quarter and have completely dominated my last 9 games in between, and a few before that. Granted I did whiff on 3-4 user picks I could of made the game a lot worse. I also have wins over other good players, but whatever, guess I'll just take 9th or 10th on your power rankings.

I definitely want a rematch.
I take nothing away from you in that game. You won fair and square.
Once again, I let a bad start fall on me like an avalanche.
McFadden scared the living shit out of me.

Fight for the fumble costs me a turnover a game, which is so annoying. I'd kill to have the option to turn it off pre-game.

Feels good to know that I will always be undefeated against you.

Idk if us playing again is a good idea... frankly I'm aggrivated at this point with the lack of respect... I dont want to be the asshole here, so its best we not see how much I can really score.

Gotta agree. I think you are just taking the game too personal, Dave. You've clearly disrespected 3-4 guys in here. Don't drink and play Madden.
