Get over the AP-AM thing. You're a broken record.

Love you Humble, you know that ... but you need to be an AP guy. You, like me, suck.

This constant I need to play a higher level reflects on you more than the game.

I beat you on AM, I beat you on AP. It had nothing to do with game level.

Your constant "I need to play on the highest level" rants are insane.

All that said, I love ya Umaga ... but your rants are insane.

lol;
that post was 2 months ago.

also;
its just an opinion Dave.
whether you love Humble Umaga or not, i have been "crying" about this for several years. no secret there.

i am still pretty active in 4 leagues, so i do see lots of things within this game, good and bad.
not to mention that i record just about every single game.
so i can replay games and certain plays over and over again.
that in mind, i also have numerous games recorded and played with All Madden setting from guys at MaddenPad.
basically, i have the ability and make use to compare specific plays on both O & D.
there is a difference in the AI on both sides of the ball.
if there wasnt, there wouldnt be any choices for level of play.
it would be "One Size Fits All"

anyway; this debate can go on for decades with the pros and cons.

but
i still have fun with this game overall and it does keep me away from playing ERGs with Play Now MFers

Humble you gonna be down to play some Madden ? I wanna get recorded mannn haha

Is there some issue with uploading highlights at the end of the game during franchise on 360?

I finally started a franchise last night with the Bears. I played a great game against the Falcons beating them 28-13. Cutler had a solid game, Forte had a great game and the defense played superb.

After the game I go to upload few highlights. The first one uploads fine. I go to upload the second and my Xbox freezes. It can't be the Xbox because it's only a few months old, one of the Gears 3 ones. And I haven't had any issues with other games.

I thought I remember reading about NCAA freezing when trying to load up highlights in dynasties but does the same thing happen in Madden?

had that happen to me on PS3 not on 360.......
it may be an EA thing??

I'm thinking so. I also notice that sometimes while doing things as mundane like editing rosters, it will take forever to load and then I'll get a "You have been disconnected from the EA servers, please check your ethernet cable" message. But of course I'm still signed into Live. I just think the EA servers are jacked.

And what is the deal with injuries in this game? I think I might have to turn them down. I seem to have a at least one serious injury per game, and I actually play them and not sim them. Of course the "abdominal tear" is one of the most common.

thats the 5 week injury......
the 11 week injuries are the herniated disk or broken collarbone
:lol:

And what is up with the stat tracking during the game? I can't even remember how many times I'll hear Gus Johnson say "Urlacher with his sixth tackle", and I count six as well, but then his next tackle the graphic will show five.

I've seen it happen on sacks too which really sucks.

So when you are the commish for an Online Dynasty you can't edit the sliders or anything? And you also can't use the current rosters?

Or am I just blind?

No sliders.

OD comes with the Season Start roster update and won't be updated until the Season is over roster update.

Those are the only 2 roster updates OD gets.

Still love Madden but come on!! I'm sure I'm waaaay late to the whining party but after enjoying all the good stuff in the NCAA Online Franchise I just don't get how Madden's can suck this bad.

Yeah I hear you, would be nice to tweak things a bit but I don't find the stats to be too far off realism on default AP. So it's not the end of the world.

Looking forward to the new mode in M13, hopefully this shit is finally there.

I bet if you called EA they would fix all the issues after they heard your velvety smooth voice.
