Madden the super bowl

[sweethypocrisy]

not the most original idea, but if you have any madden game for any console or pc do a seahawks at steelers game (steelers wearing away jerseys) post the score and what team you played as, and the mvp.
i did it twice:
Madden 06
played as steelers
score 36-35 seattle
mvp: shaun alexander
-
06 again
played as steelers
28-0 steelers
mvp: D.Townsend (2 int, 1 td, 2 tkls)
(hasselbeck was injured at the start of the 2nd half, left with a qb rating of 8.2)

what level of difficulty are you playing on?

[DroppedUrPocket]

Isn't there a way to simulate it? Playing as one of the teams makes it kinda unfair, I think.

[sweethypocrisy]

what level of difficulty are you playing on?
not sure. its the default, you know, the one where no one can catch for shit.

[sweethypocrisy]

im pretty sure there is. im gonna do that next.

but i hope the real game is more like my first one, except with the steelers winning. a blowout of either team would dissappoint me to no end.

[Doug]

oh, well if it's the default, then whatever team i play as will win 70-3 and whichever quarterback i play as will win the mvp with 7 touchdowns.

[DroppedUrPocket]

oh, well if it's the default, then whatever team i play as will win 70-3 and whichever quarterback i play as will win the mvp with 7 touchdowns.
Haha. Yeah, that's what I was trying to say.

It would be better to either let it run or just simulate it.

[sweethypocrisy]

oh, well if it's the default, then whatever team i play as will win 70-3 and whichever quarterback i play as will win the mvp with 7 touchdowns.
haha. except i just got it 3 days ago so i suck at the precision stuff.

[Doug]

yeah, i wasn't making fun of you

[sweethypocrisy]

yeah, i wasn't making fun of you
i know.

but really i blow at it. do you play online?

[Brownpants06]

56-3 Steelers. MVP was Big Ben. I'm too good at madden.

[djUbilla]

Simulate them.

[Doug]

i know.

but really i blow at it. do you play online?

nah, i wish. i don't have playstation online or whatever it is.

[sweethypocrisy]

nah, i wish. i don't have playstation online or whatever it is.
ah, i got an xbox for christmas so i play online alot. but i was looking and the ps2 network adapter is only 20 bucks now, so i might get that sometime.

[itsjdiggity]

Me and my brother played this.

Me: Seahawks (Not by choice)
Brother: Steelers

I was up by 3 with about 17 seconds left wasting time by running with Alexander. So I run a HB Counter to the left and Polamalu fucking hit sticks the shit out of Mr. MVP and he coughs it up. Polamalu brings it back. Ball game Steelers.

lmao

Showboat.

[sweethypocrisy]

yeah in my game seattles back up QB threw two consecutive interceptions. the game was killed early when the bus was stopped at the foot line after running on 4th and goal from the 8, but then the seahawks came throwing and were intercepted at the 3 yard line which was returned for a touchdown.

that sounds like how the scenario will play out for the real game.

[sweethypocrisy]

god i hope so.

even better:
hasselbeck goes to take a knee, but polamalu leaps over the o line and makes him fumble. either that or turns his hair into a whip and lassoes the ball out.

i didnt mean that in a good way. its shit like that that the steelers get blessed with time and again.

[Scott Weber]

not sure. its the default, you know, the one where no one can catch for shit.
The default difficulty on madden is RIDICULOUSLY easy.

[sweethypocrisy]

well i did, cause that would be sweet. my biggest fear is that this game will be a blowout , i want it to be down to the wire, as time expires (and with steelers winning :) )

I think my highest margin of victory on any Madden game on that level was like 120, hahaha.

[Scott Weber]

Haha. Yeah. Imagine what it would be like if you played 15 minute quarters too. Yikes.

[still_life]

I sometimes get into close games on Madden if I use a team I don't normally use, and their playbook. Like try playing a game with the Texans, it's hard to blow a team out.

[aminorthreat55]

Haha. Yeah. Imagine what it would be like if you played 15 minute quarters too. Yikes.
Haha I've considered doing it just to see how much shit I can wrack up. I was playing 5 minute quarters and have won by more than 120 at least ten times. I get like 400 yards rushing, 700 passing, it's obsurd.

[ThriftWhore]

i simulated the game on madden 06.

Steelers: 36
Seahawks 30
OT

could be how it actually turns out.

[commatosa]

oh my god, are you guys seriously having this conversation? this has got to be the lamest/nerdiest thread I've ever seen.....I still love all you guys though.....sorry

[Scott Weber]

Uh, why? ESPN.com does Madden previews of every major game in the playoffs on ESPN Motion every week.

[fromwithin]

the worst game is the college football. you can tell when the unranked no name teams are bad. I was pitt and I was up 120-0 and I would return every fumble/int for a TD and the offense was on fire.

can we talk about how dumb this post is some more?

[sweethypocrisy]

can we talk about how dumb this post is some more?
i did but i deleted it. can you still read it?

[sweethypocrisy]

ok, commatosa, playing video games and talking about them on here is no more nerdier than coming on a message board to make fun of people for playing a video game. everytime you post its something stupid, negative, ignorant, or a combo of the three, i really wish you would post less. alot less.

[Scott Weber]

i did but i deleted it. can you still read it?
haha yeah, I can.

[sweethypocrisy]

haha yeah, I can.
damn mods and your super powers.

[still_life]

I actually simulated this today and watched it. Sort of boring.

Steelers 17
Seahawks 0

Roethlisberger only completed 6 passes, but for 2 TD's, and won player of the game. Hasselbeck threw 3 picks. The closest they got to scoring, McFadden picked him off, and then they got stopped on 4th and goal later. But that was all garbage time anyway. I can dig that game happening Sunday.

If the Seahawks get shut out I will quit AP.net. The whole Madden thing is kind of stupid anyways, since the stats/ratings are from the beginning of the year. Nobody really thought these 2 teams would be in the super bowl.

How many minutes per quarter?

I could never watch that shit

[still_life]

5 minute quarters

I modify rosters throughout the season as players get better/worse, and injuries.

well if you go online you get updated stats and rosters.

yeah i wasnt thinking before i downloaded the latest roster, and now i cant play as mcnabb anymore. dammit. McMahons field vision can barely fit in one receiver.

That's nice. I don't have Xbox Live, so I can't do that.

I call dibs on your job if it happens. I wonder if that means I get to meet GAD

if by "meet" you mean "fellate", then yes.
