    Great game -- lots of exciting moments! My mic is TERRIBLE. In fact, it was so terrible that in the middle of the game I logged onto Amazon and ordered a wireless nice looking one that will hopefully not suck. I could barely hear what you were saying and I had it broadcasting over the TV AND over the Mic.

    Yeah, was real back and forth for awhile there until Davis decided to throw to your guys instead of mine.

    Four games left for Week 1! Sooner we get those in, the sooner we can roll over!

    Maybe if we pound through the season quick enough, we'll have time for a third!

    New Orleans is Technoverse on Qt3 and BulletBlueSky on Xbox Live.

    For those done with the draft (duh) and free agency, you might want to check and fix jersey numbers, as the game does not fix them itself.

    If you want to realistically anal about it, here's the list of proper position=number, and here's the list of retired numbers for each team. Might also want to check official team rosters to see if a player changed their number during the season (for example Trumaine McBride changed from 37 to 23 during the season, something I'll be fixing in my game).

    To change jersey numbers, go to Player Management, select a player, press A, and one of the options will allow you to change them.

    Nute should start a new thread for season 2 -- would make things a little simpler in that regard.

    Why does it matter what their jersey numbers are? I'm just going to toss it to the guy who's open, identifying him by the little floating Xbox button above his head. Isn't that how Peyton Manning does it?

    No, Peyton Manning is in an empty hotel where Reggie Wayne is getting eaten by sharks. Every pass is a nightmare where he is trapped inside his own mind until he manages to throw the ball and for one brief second have peace. That's why he does all those weird pre-snap movements; he's trying to break out of his horrific visions.

    This was one of the things I've always liked about Madden. Peyton will get to the line and audible like 4 times before he runs the play. Also, the Bills are now pissed after losing that game. Woe to my next opponent!

    EDIT: Omni, I noticed our game is next. We can pull one of those deals where players get traded and they just walk over to the other locker room.

    Whoa. The Dolphins share the division (and the conference) lead for once? That's not going to last.

    I'm still kinda balking at letting Roy go, after what he did in the first game, and I'm also worried about Bryant's durability, but I still feel he'd be a better fit for my style and worry that Roy's performance is a fluke.

    What the hell, let's do it.

    That was kind of my reasoning: "Why the hell not?" It's good to see movement.

    My bad for not posting on here much, been real busy with school so haven't had much time to read/post on the forums.

    @dalin kal-didn't see your PM until today, and I'm still too much of a newb to the forums that I can't send PMs. When I went on Madden I didn't see the offer, but if you are still interested send it to me again. I'm out of town until Sunday, so I'll let you know what I think about it then.
    Anyone else who wants to contact me until I get enough posts for PM privileges can do so at my xbox live tag: Childan. I would have put my e-mail address on here but it says I need 50 posts?

    Oh, and finally I promise not to run up the score on the comp again ;0.

    You can also write it like childan at emailprovider dot com. That'll let everyone type it in themselves.

    Beyond that, start posting!

    Mike Qlorio reports that Viking management is close to reaching a decision on the rumored acquisition of a starting QB.

    When reached for comment, Tarvaris Jackson was quoted as saying, "But... but... Coach Robb's got me, man. He's got me. We really... we really got something, don't we?"

    Further reports of Jackson sinking down to his knees in the rain and looking up to the heavens for answers to why his heart is breaking could not be verified as we went to press.

    When asked about the possibility of starting for the Steelers, rookie QB Jamarcus Austin flatly stated "Starting doesn't really matter to me...I just want Ben away from my girlfriend."

    Dailin's Steelers beat my 49ers on a last second field goal, 20-17. Big congrats to him.

    It was a fun game, but one of the most frustrating I've ever played.

    I was 0-5 on 3rd down conversions. He was 5-6.

    My time of possession was 5:35. His was 25:00+.

    Yeah. I'm just lucky it was this close.

    Next week the Ravens come to town. What a way to start the season.

    Great game...I thought I had screwed it up at the end when you burned my D for a quick score to tie it up.

    Definitely need to figure out how to use this QB..got caught looking for a running lane or the perfect pass quite a few times.

    The Packers were leading the Chargers 13-7 midway through the 4th quarter, and then this happened.

    Very lucky game for me -- I made a couple passes that should've been picks, but BlueJackalope's DBs appeared to have the cement mittens on. As did Sproles. Heck, even Gates got in on the drop action at the very end.

    Is there any way to retrieve the video highlights from the Xbox? I note from managing files on the hard drive that they appear to be saved as AVI clips. If one could move those to a flash drive and somehow get them off of it (I haven't tried, but expect you can't directly access the files without some trickery), it may solve the whole three-at-a-time, horribly-low-resolution limitations of the EA Sports highlight center.

    What can't be seen on the replay is my return man sticking his arm out to the side and waving it like a duck and then putting it above his head for half a second before catching the ball and then getting cleaned out. Thus ends the experiment with Clowney at PR...(very fast, decent catching, kinda low on the carrying).

    Weird game for the Bolts, mostly due to the dominance of Talisker's LBs. They knocked down so many passes we have asked the league to have them tested for gingold abuse.
