Even though technically it's gaming I'm gunna post my Madden rant in here and see if I have any sympathizers.

While we are bashing EA Sports how annoying is Madden? I love it but it has so, so many flaws. I tried to play a online franchise game tonight. We gave up after we got booted at the same point 8 times. We can kick off then boom the game drops out. Went to play a randomer and it got through the game no problems.

Then theres the offline franchise mode. Where you can play all-pro, the 2nd highest difficulty mode, where essentially the opposition are retards and you can just walk through them. Then you pop it up to All-Madden level and the roles are reversed. Your offensive line can't hold a block for longer than half a second and god help if you try to run to the outside! Any ball you throw that is even half a chance of an interception will be swallowed up even by defensive linemen. In contrast your DB's can't catch a cold and you quite simply can't put a runner down on the 1st hit. I just had a low 70 rater RB run over the top of me, literally, for 200 yards with 13 missed tackles on him. I get that it's meant to be hard but it's bloody stupid. The difference between the two levels is awful and the main reason I hadn't bothered to do an offline franchise until now, I'll be sticking to online ones from here on out.

Talking of madden online, I was playing someone yesterday and was winning 35-0 and had just recovered a fumble 50 seconds before halftime from the idiots attempt at a lateral from a kickoff, he then decided it would be good to quit (his DNF % was 2% after 15 games, W7 L8) Similar to mine so I thought he would just carry on playing, and I wont play anyone that has a higher DNF% than me anyway, but I didnt even get the win FFS! how does that work ?

I wouldnt mind but I was trying to let him back into the game a bit so he didnt quit by running plays short then punting, but the silly bollox kept throwing INT`s and fumbling in his own 20 so what you gonna do?

He was the Eagles and thought Michael Vick could throw, so I should have guessed he was an idiot at the start TBF

LFC, are you sure it wasn't Josh McDaniels?

Gamepass dropping to $129.99! Get paid tonight then I'm going to be all over that!

Whats that in the old pounds at the moment?

At least the Raiders got the W

About £80

Im very tempted, but my computer is acting up at the moment so knowing my luck the day I pay for it, it wont work on my comp

Gonna have to look into it though!

Quick and massively random question for everyone...what would be the Superbowl you'd most HATE to see?? The 2 teams you hate the most or 2 dull teams??

I'd have to say Patriots v Cowboys as they are perhaps the 2 teams I dislike most for various reason...Belichick, Brady, Jerry Jones, Troy Aikman and Joe Buck...No offence to anyone on here of course as everyone on here is nice and civil...so far!

Packers v Jets


Jets because they think they're number 1 team in the city, despite them always being the 2nd.

Packers because I don't think the rlfans server could handle the giddyness from ST PACKER.
