Maybe you are trying to throw a challenge flag when there's nothing to challenge? Are you going into the menu and pressing the button that says challenge play?

I'm not betting on Madden either.

I've never won a first round playoff game. Mitch has been blocking me for fucking years. I'm coming to tap that disappointingly white ass tomorrow.
Yes I am. I press start then go to challenge on plays like 4th and inches or fumbles and it always says there's nothing to challenge with a lock symbol.
And dude it's $5 that you owe me and I suck at this game. $5 is so nothing that it's not even worth paypal-ing it to me so I want to go double on something.
That said if you don't want to it's fine, I'll probably lose anyway so we can let it stand
Ok, $5 it is.

I think its always locked in the last 2 minutes. Its booth reviews only. Maybe thats whats happening.
Fro, I think this should be an epic game. I'm genuinely terrible but sometimes I have these excellent stretches. We shall see.
I have no Aaron Rodgers and my #2 receiver also died. I'm GRINDING tomorrow. Nothing big. Short, sexy game.
My backup QB has to be completely set for like 3 seconds or my passes go flying to outer space. Zero Mobility.
Nah it's not that, I know the 2 minute rule but it happens at all times during the game. Like I literally haven't been able to challenge all season, maybe not since we started the league.
Idk maybe it's something I did in the settings
You'll be wanting to throw that challenge flag tomorrow. I have a feeling a lot of huge calls are going to go my way.
I tried to mention you and ended up tagging some jabroni named mike.
I'm in. are you streaming?
Booting up in a moment. I don't care who streams or hosts
Great. Invite sent. You stream. Ur dead
I can't Mic. I have my 4 year old crawling all over me. Good luck.
Some crazy things in that game.
Fro's TE dropping TWO wide open catches in the end zone on back to back plays.
GBF with TWO fumbles in the red zone.
Sad state of affairs for me. Are we doing another season with the squads or are we going to revert to regular teams?
I would love to revert to regular teams but I don't think the serious folks in here will go for it
I'm not sure how this game works but if the madden teams update after the real life NFL draft (so like all the IRL rookies get added) then we should defintiely use real squads at that point.
I would also prefer to revert to regular teams however I don't feel strongly about it. I can deal with another year of Aaron Rodgers at the Helm. I just need to make sure I roster an acceptable backup next year.
I'll wait until tomorrow to see if MMH responds
Just watched the game. It was fun. Those two drops in the endzone followed by the rage decision to go for it on fourth down at the end of the second quarter was hilarious.
Re next season my view is we stick with these teams (obviously Fro is more than welcome to change team as he asked to do earlier) but if people want to start again then that's fine. By the looks of things we're going to have a smaller number next season and hopefully can stick to a 72 hour weekly turnaround to keep momentum going.
The rosters don't get updated post draft/free agency btw
Keep the same teams, we would have had multiple drafts and free agency.
Also I have a 92 overall rookie superstar QB so definitely keep them
Yeah Torn and I had seven of the top eight players in AFC OROY so no surprise we were the first two to say we should continue.
Took down the Raiders. Setting up Beefy and I round 6 in two seasons. Beefy with the 3-2 advantage so far.
Speaking of which I'm away for a few days for Paddys Weekend...
If Mikey goes today then then I might be free tonight @Pablo Diablo if that works for you?
Sorry to hear, MMH. Hope to see you back here soon
Facing MMH's ghost now

Hmmmm 11pm my time I guess. I've got to be up at 5am
i doubt you guys will revert to reg teams, but if you do, @ me and let me know cause i'll definitely pop back into the league to play as the end of season statted super bowl champion eagles.
Pabs I'm probably done for the night mate. You can have a few more days game planning
Ok change of plans. We're going now. Pabs will stream.
Well played Pabs! Good luck
so if we revert to normal teams we'll get more players back in the league. seems like a good reason to do it. random rosters stunk let's be honest.
I don't think I've once gone into a game knowing who my opposing QB was or any of the opposing best players. I know I could do research or whatever but I'm not trying to do homework to play a game of madden
it's like oh Odell just caught a TD, good to know he's on the team I'm playing
Random rosters aren't the issue, it's Madden 18 that is the problem.
My view is that it was probably a mistake to try it in hindsight but it would be shit to stop now and start a new league.
After two seasons in the teams are totally different to real life anyway because of trades, FA and mainly the draft. You should have seen the teams we all had in the last league. Just stop going on about it ffs.
You'd play one game and the ball would bounce off Alshon Jeffrey's hands, deflect off the feet of Ertz and into the arms of a cornerback for a huge pick 6 and you'll never play again, who are you kidding
This is true
lets be honest it'd take a lot less than that to make me stop again.
Its really not an issue. We have played for a few years now and as Torn says the rosters change so quickly anyway.
The main problem with Madden, especially this year is that it is just so lazy. The animations ruin a lot of the fun for me and the presentation pisses me right off. Its not very immersive. That's EA for you though. Same with Fifa, whenever you enter some form of career mode it just dumps you in there on your own little island, produces the same stories at the same times and never makes you feel like you are competing against other teams.
Fuck EA.
Looks like I'm playing the CPU this round. I will try to get it in this evening.
me too
Me and Mikey are about to play
Regular season Torn is done, here comes playoff Torn ready to bottle it!
What happened?
So looking at the video I see that neither AFC game made it to the finish.
And once again I have to square off against Mikey.
Well done Fro.
gonna hop on now

Pablo, when can you play?
I could probably play today in the afternoon my time.
Yeah, that works for me
that is possible. i am hoping to be available sometime around 10-11pm
I'm here
Fucking fumbles.
Congrats Mikey, good luck in the Super Bowl.

Congrats Mikey. :beer:
Mikey is at long last back at the top of the table.
What's next bros?
I think first step should be determining who is going to be continuing on in the league.
I'm still in. I need to defend the title after the likely Tom Brady retirement.
I'm still in. Someone has to bring up the rear.
I’m in as well naturally. Going to increase everyone’s carrying stats.
I'm in so that I can tackle air forever.
I'm in but I'm strongly in favor of a refresh with the teams
I think I want to switch to the saints
Let's do the draft and get this party started.
someone link me to the madden website with our league info. I have the link at home just not at work. but yea I think Saints for me.
They used to be HB's team before he left the league, I believe.
edit: nvm found it http://daddyleagues.com/RajahCFM
When can people do the draft? I'm pretty much free for the next week.
I don't really care about being there. Do what's best for the rest of the group.
