Aren't so many games against CPU opponents though? And you're up late; I've played everyone but Lou at night.

I have a lot against CPU, yes. I knew that you would want a day I wouldn't be available to draft so I didn't join that league for that reason too

I just checked maddencareer.com.. and Lou is already up to 10! What the heck, LOU!?

His game was SO BIG, that he got 10 points. How did that happen?!

@Mr_Mustache
I think you get 10 points per regular season win.

10 points for what? #confused

I won the Super Bowl in my offline career! My off-season signing of Tony Romo paid off. Beat the Vikings 20-6

@MasterSandman II
I'm assuming he meant legacy score for your career.

Weird, mine's 5 after a win

@DeputyVanHalen

Yeah, it's probably legacy score.

@Mr_Mustache

At least I have company in the "0 Club".

I did indeed mean Legacy Score. Everyone else but Lou has 5 or 0 though. Whats the scoop?

Who was that (Vikings), Lou? Was it a rivalry game or something? Bears?

@TheBigG753

--I plan on winning in both leagues, TONIGHT. I've been up in the pocket more.

Less picks.
Less Sacks.
Same losses.
HA!

@Mr_Mustache
In what league? In fantasy league, I went from 0 to 10 after winning my first game.

@DeputyVanHalen

Really? How do you get a 5 then?? I'm 0's in both, so I have no idea.

I was referring to Lou's Standard Vikes though. Can't get Fantasy MC.com to work..

@Mr_Mustache

I played the Jags. It might because AP ran for 286, or I won by a certain margin, who knows.

@Mr_Mustache
I can't see who has them, so I really don't have any way to guess at the pattern.

@TheOldManFromZelda
I guess it's possible that it's 5 for a win and 5 for meeting weekly goals.

@DeputyVanHalen

I met one of my goals and lost, and got 0 points. I'll see how tonight/tomorrow goes.

I don't even know where you find half of these goals anyway, haha

@Mr_Mustache
I'm totally lost now. In fantasy league in my second game I destroyed a division rival and met a few of my goals but stayed on 10. I give up trying to figure this out.

I just had the craziest game I've had in a while in the league against fumbulitis. He led 17-0 at the half. I score quick after the second half kickoff. Then I get 2 more quick 3 and outs on defense followed by a FG and a TD to tie. First play of the next drive is a pick 6 and now I'm up 24-17 early in the 4th quarter. We trade TDs on our next possesions making it 31-24 for me. I punted to him with about 40 seconds left and no timeouts. he got it to 4th and 10 around midfield with about 12 seconds left and completed a hail mary for the tying td.

In OT, he wins the toss and gets to my 25. On 3rd down he throws an INT that I returned to his 30. I ran a couple plays to set up a FG and broke the last one down to about the 5. FG for the win 34-31.

So now I'm 2-0 in both leagues, but week 3 could be tough in both of them. .

Oh, I didn't come on here yet? *sigh* I got squashed by the Real Chiefs last night, skunked it up in Practice and then played like the Real Bills with the Real Bills. This game is totally accurate. Against my inner monologue, continued on with my Fantasy Stuff (I guess looking for some good news?), skunked it up in Practice, but came back to tied it with a last second catch and run forever. Wow! I won in OT, and was reinvigorated for radical Fantasy Niners Action. I was playing the Lions, who have Cam Newton. That guy...likes to run. Game was EXCELLENT; Luke Keichly was an absolute beast. Interception, Fumble Recovery TD, Sack, pile of tackles. Had another Pick 6 with someone else, a bunch of sacks. Weeden was ELECTRIC. He was controlling the Defense so efficiently, had an 81 yard TD pass to Evans which was GREAT, along with two other TDs, 250+ yards, NO INTERCEPTIONS...and halftime message "you've been disconnected from the server, this game and stats will not count." Wait, what? It didn't boot me out and the game still went as it does..so I figured maybe it would reconnect? Nope. I wont that game 45-20 or something, though Newton ran for almost 150, and threw all over me, too. But I beat them by a lot, right? Surely I can recreate that.

Wrong. Wrong. I had 6 or 0 points at halftime, I can't remember, and I was losing until the final minute of the game. UGH. What happened?! Weeden was MISERABLE. Gone was his 69% completion percentage, but I did have my Power HB injured -- TWICE. What the H, man? Just a pile of S, this second game, though Lynch did get back on track running for 180 and change. What the heck, brah?

@DeputyVanHalen

I won and stayed 0. C'est la vie.

@MasterSandman II

Check "Goals".....

@DeputyVanHalen

Wow dude. You wasted no time establishing your dominance! Fumbulitis is..pretty good. No offense (OF COURSE), but I wasn't suer how you guys would fit in other there. Nice to see that you're handing it to them, and Bigs has company in me at the bottom of the barrel, haha!! (Lou is doing awesome, too, nice! And Travis; the consumate professional.)

@Mr_Mustache
No offense taken. I had no idea how I'd do either. I played in elite level leagues in NFL 2K5 and APF 2K8 and did quite well, but I've never been nearly as good at Madden games and haven't played them seriously in years. I think it may be helping me though that what I have played in the last few years has been the 360/PS3 version that this game is like rather than the Wii version that most of you guys are coming from.

So I had no idea what to expect either. My only goals were to not completely embarrass myself, hopefully never go 0-16, continue to get better, and at some point have at least one playoff season. If I can do that I'll be very happy with myself.
