Okay, continuing in my line of Book This! threads, this is also similar to the Smackdown vs. Raw thread.. only regarding the N.F.L. Madden video game. I'd like it if anyone involved would use an up-to-date game, that being the 2009 version.. but if you must, you can use any game you like.
General forum rules apply, but in this thread what I'm mainly asking for is this. Start a Franchise. You can pick one or more teams. (up to 32 if you really wanna write a lot) From this point, it's your goal if you post in this thread, to explain your weekly adventures including the most important detail.. every statistic you have. (even the stupid ones, like pancake blocks and punt stats)
The easiest way to go about this is, after every game you have.. go to your Stats section of the game.. and post your team's stats, as well as your opponent. Feel completely free to explain any details you might have about the game and your experiences. Help others who read to experience the excitement of the game.
I'll restart a season, playing 7 minute quarters, on All-Pro difficulty and I'll be playing mainly as the Carolina Panthers. I do (from time to time) play other games, depending on how big a match-up it is. And once I get to the playoffs, I play every game.
Currently, I'm already in the playoffs and an example of posting the excitement of the game.. I'll give a small example.
New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers: N.F.C. Wildcard Game: (I'm not posting stats because this is just a general example of posting an "in-game" experience.)
It was the 4th Quarter. The Saints (played by me) were up 20-14, with 1:09 left in the game. Aaron Rodgers lead the Green Bay Packers down the field, which ended in the endzone via a touchdown pass to Greg Jennings to put them up 21-20 with only 19 seconds on the clock.
On the following kickoff, I let the ball fly out of the endzone, so no time would run off. From the 20, I marched the Saints back down field, with only that 19 seconds and 2 timeouts. On the first play, it was a 25 yd. pass, from Brees to Bush that ticked the clock down to 8 seconds and put the ball on the 45 yd line. From there, a pass to Robert Meachem and a quick timeout set the ball up on the 33 yd. line of the Pack, and the game ended with a FG as time expired, sending Green Bay home for the season, and the Saints on to the Divisional Round.. 23-21.
Now.. that's just a small example. I'll likely try my hardest, the next time I'm on, to post stats from my first game. What I'm going to attempt doing is this.
I'll restart a Franchise, dedicated to this thread. I'll begin in pre-season and play as if it were real life. (Meaning, I'll pull my starters after a couple series of play) 7 min. Quarters on All-Pro. Regular rules apply. I'll post complete stats, as well as the stats (once the reg. season begins) of the top performers in the entire league. Any transactions from any team, I'll post them as well. And I'll do it from week to week, via the progression of the game.
Anyone is welcome to join, just try to follow the guidelines of doing so.
