MADDEN 2005 RELEASED !

[Parki]

im 6/5 with the ravens so far playing on all madden mode with those sliders set up... lovin the hits my angry quarterback hating mlb gets :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Special K]

How hard is it to run! I traded around and got McGahee and the best game he has had so far is 97 yards. Every time I think I'm away some bloke comes from no where and smashes me!

I'm 8 and 0(due to TO saving the day catching long bombs in the dying moments of like 3 games ) on Pro. I used to be All Madden on 2004 but I'd get smashed on all pro at the moment.

The best Madden so far. Field goal kicking isn't as easy and I love the radio show :lol:

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

I find running easy, manily cause so many people online come out expecting to stop the pass..online play i avg around 180yards rushing with green against the computer i set the single season record 2 straight seasons with the first one being 2309 and then hit 2379 so far this season im up to 1800 yards and have missed 3 games.

running can be real easy...his a tip dont hold the speed button instead follow a blocker or look for the gap and get ready to hit the triangle button then hit the speed burst..if done correctly you will run over the line backer and quickly get a burst of a few yards and with Ahman green its so easy to run past the defense...

also if you see an opening just run to it and dont be afraid to use the juke button when trying to make ur own gap..during online games this is sweet as it almost always works.

 

[Special K]

I was following the blocker that is how I got most of my busts.

But I was still on the nrl style tapping :lol: now I can run fast I'm killing it

 

[tUp]

ill be picking up a copy as soon as i have the cash :lol:

Same thing happened to me mate, I'm playing as the Pats and I just beat the Chargers in the AFC Championship game 24-20. They finished with a 12-4 record, I think its mainly on the back ot LT who is one of the best players in the game. Now I have to play the Giants in the Superbowl, ha the Giants.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

lol chargers went 0-16 in mine...with the national newspaper making a mockery of them.. that also includes tony bruno every week saying "there now 0-11 and etc can they at least win a game..."

 

[sunny]

I'm tied with the Chargers for top of AFC West at 6-3

Ah.... the Giants.... Its quite interesting, playing as the Redskins in their division I find them fairly tough. I would have thought the Eagles would be the biggest competition but I lost my 2 games to the Giants. I think it has to do with Warner, I smashed them in pre season when Eli played, he doesnt throw the ball when the4 pressure is coming, he just takes the sack.

 

[sunny]

sunny wins 11 of his last 12 games to finish 12-4 and go to the playoffs as the AFC's #1 seed, sending 6 players to the pro bowl and with mike quinn winning the MVP award! GO THE MIGHTY BRONCS!

 

[Parki]

Hows this for stats....

Packers W7 Lost 0
Brett Favre Rating 134.7 39TD 3 INT 3995 YDS
Craig Nall Rating 134.0 9TD 1 INT 995 YDS ( in 2 quarters of football mind you)
Ahman Green 17 Rushing TDs to go along with that

Go Pack

 

[Cupid Stunt]

7 games 4000yds & 39 TDs? With the sliders/skill level set so low, whats the point of playing? #-o

 

[Parki]

dude thats on the sliders set up outlined previously....

 

[Parki]

Ok.... so Parki and his Packers are coasting along right....... were winning every game and smashing everyone in sight.... Bretts having a field day, Ahmans running riot and no ones going to stop the boys from Wisconsin making that sweet sweet trip to Jacksonville..... Then, suddenly the AI of the computer kicks in after 10 straight wins by 40 points..... Suddenly the Rams and Mark Bulger decide to stop these rampant Packers in their tracks, and Parki has to pull out a 3 point win. Ok, so I put that down as an anomaly... maybe i was having a bad day, whatever... but NO.. next game I get beaten by the eagles by 8 points, and the glory days of smashing teams has been wiped off the face of the earth... After pulling out another tight one against the lions, im wondering WTF? How did the computer suddenly decide that the 40 point smashings were no longer going to happen, and more importantly, have the boys from GB just packed up and left or what? Its all very confusing

 

[Big Tim]

maybe you stopped using the "touchdown" play.....

Go on, explain what it is.

 

[Parki]

i have more than one dopey.... maybe you should come over one day and ill show you them first hand eh?.. bet your skins wouldnt be able to stop me, they couldnt when i put 97 points on them

 

[Big Tim]

I just finished my first season using the sliders outlined previously in this thread, but with higher ratings for the CPU on QB acc amd WR catching.

I beat the Chiefs in a Superbowl shootout 42-37.
11 Pro bowl players
QB Pat Ramsey
HB Clinton Portis
WR's Laverneus Coles & Rod Gardner
OL Chris Samuels, Pete Kendall & Jon Jansen
DL Jason Gildon (who I signed as a FA and moved to LE with wonderful results)
DB's Fred Smoot & Sean Taylor
P Tom Tupa

Season highlights
Ramsey 74.9 rating, 3318 yds, 20 TD's, 20 Ints.
Portis 324 carries, 1985 yds, 20TD's
Gardner 80 rec, 1195 yds, 4TD's
Gildon 51 tack, 18 sack, 2FF
Smoot 7 Ints
Taylor 100 Tack, 7 sack, 1 Int

All in all, a fun season with a few close FG wins. I ended up going 16-3. Am looking forward to the off season and trying to draft some role players to take some time off the veterans.

Did anyone notice that in the playoffs, players progress weekly. If you have younger players you want to get progressed well, if you can play with them in, put them in. They will progress quite well if they do a good job.
