Get a plumbers torch to burn it. Why not get a dremmel or router to etch your address? I have a hard time believing it will turn out clean looking with a pressure washer. Probably look like a 4 yr olds writing.

I don't know if someone who just joined the forum this month should be in charge of layout decisions.

Don't act like there have ever been any good decisions made around here.

First thing I did when I started the season was make WRs & CBs his o line and turned his injury rating up to 100 so he'd withstand the punishment. Steelers have gone 0-16 while giving their draft picks to the browns for 7th round picks every season. Pretty great actually :RpS_flapper:

Rookie? While it's been a decade or so since I've played, at least in the PS2 days, it was easy to murder the computer on everything but All-Madden or whatever the highest setting was.

Just play in Franchise mode, withstand the first half of the season (because unless you suck, you'll get improvements way better than the computer-controlled teams will, making you far better than them after a couple rounds of improvements -- and in the last version I played, you got improvements about every four games or so, I think) and you'll be a force. Trade-rape away other teams' best young players for your older vets on the verge of starting to decline. And *BOOM*, you'll be getting 50-70 point wins every time. Now, when you go that next step like CoA and fuck with the other team's line-up, the 108-0 makes more sense.

Then again, for about 2-3 years, I played that game like a sick freak to the point I can't even think about it this far later without getting a bit ill.

No, I'm just a boss at Madden. I play on All Pro, which I find is happy medium. When you play on All Madden the computer has BS LBer jumping 30 ft int he Air for the INTs, RBs fumbling like crazy bullshit that ruin the game. Once you play madden a lot (get comfortable with audibles, understand def schemes, using hot routes, etc...), the computer is pretty easy to demoralize. I'm sure AI is difficult to program, I still find that NFL2K5 had the best AI/strategy in madden.

I'm still playing on Madden '12 I believe (360). I prob pick up the sticks once every 3 months, but have fun when I do.

TBF I only fucked with the steelers bc they have a fat rapist as a QB and think they should pay the morality tax for that.

Like you said tho, it's pretty easy to be incredible in the game against the computer. If it takes me more than 4 plays to score, I get pissed. If the opposing team gets a first down, I get pissed.

I remember when I played it a lot, just looking at the things they tightened up or left fucked up. As memory serves:

2003: Take a commanding lead on a team and watch their QB enter god mode. A friend and I would do franchises and compare our stats and shit; we used fairly long quarters and found our pass defense was pure trash because Peyton Manning would have 150 yards through 3 quarters and then hit 4 70-yard TDs in the fourth. Also, offensive linemen were impossible to build up because the game never gave out pancakes.

2004: I did a franchise where I was the only team with a decent OL and every other OL in the league somehow fell below 70. On the other hand, I had a season where Deuce McAllister had 2500 yards and 30+ TDs and went down a point at the end of the season.

2005: Lord, the draft gave you the most hilariously fucked up players. A RB with 98 speed and 36 quickness, so you never actually saw that speed, since he'd be drilled behind the line every damn time. One dimensional OL guys with 92 pass block and 52 run block.

I used to run through seasons like a machine on Madden, even more on NCAA Football (RIP). Then I college came and it was nonstop battles with the boys. Remember QB vision? lol

I then got into Madden online, but it was never great....wayy too buggy. Then I discovered FIFA and I pretty much ditched all other games.

I currently don't even have a console, but I occasionally price PS4s, but I know that's not a smart investment.

I do remember QB Vision. Lol, that was funny. I remember Derek Anderson as a rookie with Minnesota (at least my buddy had him on his Minnesota team). His vision cone was about the size of a slightly larger than normal needle.

I haven't done much with my PS4 in months. This is the dull time of year where there's not much coming out. But I will pick up Madden next week.
