Tattoos? On MY black quarterback?

Agreed.

Hmmm, I wonder why quality took such a sharp hit after 05...

i returned one for a TD like the 3rd day i had this game with Wes Welker :getin:

I have never recovered one this year. I recovered *many* of them last year.

the only way i have been able to recover an onside kick this year is by using squib kick and flicking the stick so fast that there is no power so that if i get the direction of the kick is perfectly straight the ball will bounce off the first blocker's helmet

does madden actually allow you to do this? IIRC it's illegal to advance a recovered onside kick.

i used the onside, didn't change the direction and flicked the stick really fast. the end result is that the ball lands and stays in the middle of a bunch of opponents and they all try and fail to scoop it up while one of my players runs in and grabs it.

It does. My opponent called me a human being then ragequit.

I don't have any idea where to ask this so here it goes: is Front Office Football Seven a decent game? I played ungodly hours of Elifoot 98/Football Manager 2005-2008 back in the day, but never a manager game about football.

OH SNAP!
Wow I absolutely hate hate hate how Madden 16 looks in the gameplay video that's been posted. The button icons that pop up after you throw the ball look like they came straight out of Madden 2005. loving hate the guy playing for choosing the worst camera angle in the game too.

We'll see though.

Edit: I also chuckled when they demonstrated an "aggressive catch". Guess aggressive catch sounds better than face catch!

the game is going to ascend to new levels of bullshit cheese catches based on that trailer and it's going to be infuriating.

If Brandon Lloyd has his usual 90+ spectacular catch rating he could be broken

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
