How funny. I thought hopefully dolphins (picked that), but if not then likely Giants and those are the two leading vote getters so far.
We mostly think alike.

I meant an indictment on the current Madden game when it comes to playability/fun. NCAA14 still has a PC community with updated rosters. It seems that at some point EA made the conscious decision to make the game "look real" at any cost. It's almost as if NCAA programmed players independently and gave you enormous freedom of movement but the cost was a few glitches where the physics didn't make sense (i.e. you leap at a pile at full speed and get stood straight up). Now the current gen focuses mostly on the player interactions, and you're not allowed to select any player and move them anywhere (i.e. moving Von to either side of the C for a stacked FG block attempt.
There's a laundry list of complaints like the current Madden won't allow you to move DL away from the LOS on defense preplay. Or be any player for blocking (on pass plays). When you're a runner, you get sucked into other players for contact interactions. QBs are magnetized to the backfield and its a struggle to scramble even with a QB Allen. And not being able to co-op franchise mode was criminal.
What's funny is that back in the day, NCAA and Madden usually had the same development team and they used to fix issues they found in post production NCAA in early July by the time Madden came out in mid-August. But having the same set of eyes on it might have been what caused it to become complacent.
Dude…NCAA 14 is a great game. Boy. Good memories.

i never thought a football game would look how it did in 1999… im not complaining
im literally 9-0 online with the bills and josh Allen is Superman lol I can do anything…. And there is online franchise
I have 1 with 8 friends
it’s flawed and I wish there were competition and I am worried they may never be able to figure out the same problems they have from year to year, but with that said…honestly, I find fun and enjoyable.

Seeing what's happened to Madden is so sad...I wasn't aware they've said they were legit going to try and fix the platform...going to do some digging there, but they've said that in the past too and then just added some feature that used to be in the game years ago back in.
Like they need to unwind whatever crap happened when they switched to Xbox 360/ps3... it largely broke when they switched to that version of next gen, but then the damn ultimate team microtransaction bs started and the dev focus shifted on that and they couldn't spend enough time fixing the game...plus the decision to go to animation based game play instead of genuine physics based...
7 minutes ago, EasternOHBillsFan said:I have been playing Madden since the very first console Madden on SNES, so I have seen the entire fall of the franchise.
I follow the YouTuber Ryan Moody and he eviscerates them and has many, many examples as to how the animation-based gameplay has ruined the game, not to mentioned the MUT microtransactions. They have ruined Madden, NHL, NBA, FIFA, and now they are working on destroying F1 which they just bought.
We all know how much the lack of competition has contributed to the downfall.
I wish the NFL knew.
and yeah, I’ve seen the moody videos, too.
I still enjoy it, but it was not like it was in the hey day: madden 05 and ESPN NFL 2K5.

Some things I liked about it.
-Has McGovern and Torrence in and both do good as expected in pass pro. Allen is sitting in the pocket a lot which I strongly feel is going to be the case this season.
-Lot of 2 TE sets with Kincaid and Knox.
-when we got 3 wide slot of Harty.
-Allen has tough game which I feel is realistic with Fangio.
-Has a lot of Bills focus on run game.
-Low scoring tough defensive game.
-Von in, good rotation on dline.
-Dorian William's at MLB. Highlights his speed and physicality on some plays.
Great sim! Worth a watch!
Harris with 53 on 15 carries, but he got yards when he needed to get them.
Davis was huge. As much as he could be when Josh only throws for for 168, if memory serves. Almost 90 going to Gabr.
Nothing really from Diggs until they needed it on the last drive.

akcash, was that part of a Madden roster update or did you download a roster that someone did on Madden? If downloaded, which one was it?
Thank you in advance.

I have wanted this guy for years.
Flame away but i had no interest in Miller. Because of salary more than anythingWould have preferred Houston. Before he went to Ravens. And he did a nice job there !
We would still have money to sign another like Yannick or whatever.
But just imagine lining Miller and Houston up on the same down.
GAWD
You...have...
...
...bad hair.
That's the best I got. It's Friday.
3/12, no lie, the Miller signing sort of scared the heck out of me due to age and money. Love "the guy" but don't love the age, money and then getting sidelined. You want to tell me they signed (insert name) for $22 million per and he is 27, sure. I could be a little more on board.
Go Bills!
EDIT: Jeepers creepers, it's just kind of frustrating. 20 Mill and hands down best player on D, but is old and gets sidelined, previously the best player on D at 17 plus Mill gets sidelined and then we have a number of picks and a number of guys on the D-Line that are just sort of JAGS, or JADL if you prefer.
...Throw in that we didn't have six million measly dollars per for 3 years for Harry who was rocking it by the end of 21 and we already had an investment in?
Whatevs. That's why I don't make the really big bucks. That and because I am iron deficient.

whatever, if the bills can't beat the jags we have bigger issues.
12 minutes ago, Gregg said:Jags aren't a pushover anymore. This will be a tough game.
Respectfully, we couldn't beat them when they were hideous. Now they are good and getting better, winning as many playoffs games last year as we did, and they are getting a road game essentially turned into a home game in their "home away from home" all the while as they've had a week to settle in.
If the Bills can't beat the Jags it might be because the Jags are a pretty good team, combined with the schedule working out well for them.
Go Bills!

I don't remember the details but we had something going like that in the 90s, too. After losing to teams in the SB, we'd beat them in the next regular season.
I don't know, Hondo. I know we eat the Cowboys (as referenced above) early on in 93 after the 92 season Super Bowl. However, my memory is blank on how we did that same year, as well, against Washington and the Giants.
....Just checked. You are sort of correct with that. In 1993 we beat every team we lost to in the Super Bowl and we swept the East entirely as we also beat the Eagles.

127 days? By my quick math that means that in 2 Thursdays from now we are exactly halfway between the last bills game and the next one

Bills lost to the Jags in the 2017 season playoffs and beat them the next time they played them.
Bills lost to the Texans in the 2019 season playoffs and beat them the next time they played them.
Bills lost to the Chiefs in the 2020 season playoffs and beat them the next time they played them.
Bills lost to the Chiefs in the 2021 season playoffs and beat them the next time they played them.
The one thing we all learn about stats is that past performance is always 100% indicative of future results and can never, ever vary.
I’m sorry, Cincy. Facts are just that…facts.
Go Bills!

Nope, lets keep Jones . and find his apprentice
I want two big bodies. next season or possibly this one post camp.
Keep the LBs clean please.THIS
3rd, Harry was a 1T, right?At the end of 21 everyone loved his play as stabilizing to the D and then we wouldn’t match the 6 million per that Minny offered for 3 years. They let him go while playing well and not for very much.
What was the deal with that?
Throwing out there for anyone to answer.

We subtract a halfway decent QB in Carr from the conference, and then add a HoF QB in Rodgers, and in our division.

I think you underestimate just how strong our schedule is. I’m optimistic we will win 11-13 games still, but it’s not the lock you think it is.AFCE is much tougher with Rodgers in it. But we also play the AFC West, NFC East which has both Super Bowl teams in them, and we play Cincy who we didn’t look competitive against in the shortened game or playoff game.
Agreed.
Alpha, I absolutely love the Bills...AND 11-6 is real and not pessimistic for 2023. Two things can be true at once.
I also think by the end of the year, like in 2021, this team could be locked in and potentially go far.
However, at Cincy, Philly and KC, plus we split with divisional rivals who are both definitely better than they were in 2022, plus the normal phantom home loss (Cowboys? Jags who beat us when they were bad?) and all this adds up to 11-6 being a possibility.
Although I am not a betting man (albeit I should have put money down that Picard Season 3 was going to be way better than the first two @Ridgewaycynic2013 with Terry Matalas at the helm) I will not jump on anyone that takes the under on 11.5.
Go Bills!

Ridge, we have 800 plus episodes and movies of Star Trek we can dive into and talk about at length together.
it will be a podcast.
“Boldly Going with Ridge and Donuts”

This thread is hilarious. 90% of the posters admit they don't know the player but heard he drops passes so they it's a waste. Hey, maybe the scouting staff who had him in for a visit and gets paid for talent evaluations know a bit more than you as you wipe the cheeto dust of your keyboard while vehemently hating the pick before watching him at all.
No lie, cheetos are the reason why chopsticks were invented.

Dopey...yeah...we sour around here a lot don't we! 😅
Here is the thing that is silly though and why we shouldn't...
...it is sooooo long before we play.
That's what actually stinks a little about the draft. After they finish up on Saturday I want a game on Sunday!

Ok here are a few thoughts on the draft:
Good (Amazing):
Eagles — That D front is going to be scary AGAIN next year, I almost feel bad for Dak facing that front twice. They got an absolute STEAL with Carter at 9.
Ok:(above average)
Bills - I like Kinkaid but I believe he has back issues? Doesn’t mean he won’t be amazing but could make his career a lot shorter than it should be.
Pats — I was hoping for a WR, but getting IMO the top CB in the draft while also sticking it to the Jets… made this pick awesome for me. My biggest concern is how young he is and how soon (if ever) he hits his potential.
Ugly:
Washington — They took a CB who is vastly undersized and will take time IMO to make an impact. Made worse because they chose him over at least 2 better prospect in Gonzalez, and Porter. I’d have broken my TV if that was my team. (Like I did last year w an unknown guard pick)
Will Levi’s — rumored be top 2 pick and doesn’t get picked at all in the first round. By far an ugly and sad day for him.
lastly Confused:
Jets — You just got Rogers and you know it’s a 2 year window and yet you still don’t draft a WR for the guy? Instead you get another D lineman.. makes little sense.. Rogers is older he needs playmakers around him. (Imagine if Seattle had gotten Rogers instead.)
let me know who your thoughts are
PF, I agree. The CB pick was solid and necessary in this division.
Even when they are great they are never sexy, but CB matters so much in this league.

I agree with a previous poster that Quinton Morris is a fine -if wildly underused- TE, so the roster is now set at that position. Barring significant injury, no other player need apply. I also think we’re better at WR than most believe. Therefore, commit the rest of the Draft to OL & DL. If a Wideout they really like becomes available, fine. But we can never have enough solid OL and our DT’s are all 1 year guys. I no longer see a path to trading for DHop, so we roll with who we have and look to improve our lines.
You know, Chand, my real world buddy, Bagel as he used to be known around here (a longtime member here who just hasn't posted in forever), kind of agrees with you.
He is hoping for some better play and a turnaround by Gabe into, at the very least, a true #2 and he thinks very highly of Shakir's future.
I know, I know...it goes against TSW standing policy to disagree with somebody and NOT be mean about it, insulting, or even then to give credit to something we may disagree upon.
However, darn it, I am doing it right here and now! I want more help at receiver, but I get and respect your point.
BTW, if this were a @nucci post and if he was commenting similarly as I have the entire post would be...
"I disagree, but maybe. We'll see."
Word salads can be a such waste of time. Direct and to the point is always cherished. Long live ya, Nuch!
