~Madden Test 2~

It\'s Friday, and now we\'re (Me and Sweet Tooth, so far ) to Madden Test 2. Sweet Tooth gave me a great idea for a future one that I\'m sure will be pretty tuff.

Here\'s this weeks:

YOU

at

 FRANKFURT GALAXY

DIFFICULTY: ALL MADDEN

QUARTER LENGTH: 7 MINUTES

FOG AT MID-LEVEL

PRECIPITATION AT HIGHEST LEVEL

WIND AT HIGHEST LEVEL

TIME: NIGHT

-----------------------

Same rules apply, be honest, use default rosters, play only once, no constant re-trying just cuz\' your playing bad.

Record Your teams stats: Passing, Rushing (TOP 3 RUSHERS, Recieving (TOP 3 RECIEVERS), Defensive (TOP 5 DEFENSIVE PLAYERS), Special Teams (Kicking, Kick returning, Punting, Punt Returning)

Are you sure you want it on All Madden? I thought it was supposed to be easy and then get harder by each test? I\'m just saying, going from Pro to All Madden is killer

Finshed :yawn:

Notes: All Madden didn\'t really matter as much as I feared it would. The Frankfurt Galaxy suck. Notice Jeff Garcia\'s rushing yards. There were so many times I was able to bring the ball down and run for a big gain it was funny.  It\'s hard to throw though. My recievers were glued. And running, although Garrison got 80, was because he had like 3 big gains, and the rest were just 1, and 2 yard pick ups.

Overall it wasn\'t very hard, they don\'t have much of a rushing game, but they go deep alot.

Also they turned the ball over a surprising amount of times for it being on All Madden. Remember to strip the ball using R2, it really works like a charm.

GRADE: A

Dammit, I\'m goin into half time and I saved. I don\'t know how they were easy on you. Now, I\'m a good player, but damn this game is BS. I\'m gettin my ass whooped. HMM LET ME SEE HOW MANY TIMES DAYNE HAS FUMBLED SO FAR!!!! and LET ME SEE HOW MANY INT\'S COLLINS HAS THROWN!!!! and LET ME SEE HOW BAD I\'M GETTIN MY ASS WHOOPED!!! lol, j/k. Right now I am goin into half time. I\'m winning

This is embarrising. But I\'m going to post my score

(me) Rams = 23, Galaxy = 76

BUT I must note that I outscored them 13 to 6 in the fourth quarter. So maybe If I do it again I might beat them

Rushing - Faulk 56 yds 3.1 ave
Reciebing - Faulk 165 yds, 23.5 ave
Holt 104 yds, 52 ave

Tackles- Fields 10, 2 sacks


I really hate how when I pass the ball their defenders always seem to swat the ball away, but when the computer passes, his recievers always catch it even If I have 3 defenders around him. How am I supposed to catch the ball?

What moves do you guys use when running. I mostly juke but is pushing circle any good? It doesnt work for me often

When running I go through the blockers holes, using only the d-pad. Once I pass the line of scrimmage I begin to sprint (Hold down the X button), if a defender is near I juke a bit, but there\'s not much to it but finding the holes to run through.

Why wasn\'t it that hard for me? I only fumbled the ball once or twice I think. Maybe I just got lucky.

I\'ll try running like that. I use boost all the time so maybe if I use it when I need it, it will work better

Also to break tackles, maybe this doesn\'t really work, but it\'s a habit I have and I think it works...

Keep tapping X fast as hell if you wanna break tackles, and then just hold it down if your running in the open field.

I tried that challenge again. I did better this time. I was only losing by 1 point at half time

38 - Galaxy, 23 Rams

Went down to the wire.

What a frustrating game.  My recievers could not caatch a pass if their lives were on the line.  It seemed at times that my linebackers were from the we dont want to takle club.  Their running backs often ran through five of my guys and went almost to the house.

I cant intercept still and have trouble holding on to the ball (recieving).  Any tips?  Even when it is not raining and indoors this is still a problem for me.

The game started off in a hiss and a roar with Mr. Woodson intercepting a pass and taking it to the house but it went down hill from their untill the fourth quarter where I started finding the open man and finally my recievers started holden on to the ball.  I swear! 90 % of my incompletions were dropped balls and many were in complete space or in the enzone.  I finally nailed the game winning 32 yard field goal in the last 3 seconds to cap of a 17-0 comeback in the fourth quarter.

Overall grade:

Id give it a D but I won so i guess i would have to give it a C

Good job. Nice to see that we now have 4 members that participate.

Way to win Leather, I\'d give you a B though.

2 more days till the special, "Christmas Edition" Test.

Oooooohhhh

Awwwwwwwwwww

Yea I just returned my copy of Madden2002 because I found out that my bro had bought it for me for christmas. So I will be down for the next Madden test.

 Now I just need to decide what team to use.

I think what team you use should affect your grade as well.

I mean, there\'s a big difference from using the Niners, and the Ravens.

Perhaps I should get a bonus for using a team with < 80 overall?

Or how about when you choose the test, give us a maximum overall grade we can use. Like no team over 85 or something like that

Even better idea Stupid Mop!

However you can use the same playbooks if you wish.

Good, good, idea.
