THEE NYG SWAG THREAD

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="JPizzack"]

I got Madden12 finally yesterday. Got a used copy on ebay for $22 shipped

It's alot harder than the previous one I had.

few things I noticed:

- opponent awareness in the secondary is much better. You really need a WIDE open receiver to throw to or else your pass will get batted down. Even the linebacks will knock down passes over their heads into the secondary

-almost every single other madden game, when on defense i would control a DE or a DT. But as dezz mentioned to me last week, the DE moves are kinda lame in this one. When i play a DT, its fairly easy to stop the run on the inside, and let your DEs cover the outside. But pass rushing never works at the ends!! so frustrating!! Oh, and when you DO pull off a swim move, your end rushes to the inside into a guard instead of to the outside, which would make sense when i rewatch the play lol.

-running is still the easiest part of offense. </p>


-the player cuts in preseason franchise is an awesome feature
-although i dont understand why it adds FAs automattically instead of saying "you need to have 4 safeties, etc.....and then it doesnt tell you it signs them either....oh, AND it cut Barden and Cruz without telling me. so i couldnt figure that out.</p>[/quote]

yea it depends on the coverage with who I control... I am either a DE, MLB, or saftey.

if u do franchise, you can sign all of those guys to bring em into camp. I actually gor bored of playing online yesterday and made a franchise so that I could get Bennett on the Giants lol....

then i traded around playerthat signed around the league and put peyton on the 9ers...

i can't play on allmadden, i just get skunked. Im starting to dominate all pro though so i'll make the transition soon
[/quote]Nice job on the ebay madden purchase!! Ebay rules. Last night on ebay.....I stole a Victor Cruz jersey with SB 46 patch for $38 shipped. Even after this many years on ebay, my blood pressure and heart still start pounding inside of 4 minutes. lol.

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"]whats up ****ers...

soooo i got the new job. Just put the two weeks in today. At the new place, i dont think i'll be able to get on the boards.

So essentially this is my two week notice onthe message boards as well.

If Peyton goes to San Fran, i may cry.


[/quote]</p>


yooooou suuuuuuck!!</p>


ugh WHY does he have to go to the NFC!?!?
So does that mean they are done with Smith?.....again...??

oh, grats on your new job</p>


[/quote]

thanks man

I do think he ends up with Denver or Tennessee, but christ him with Vernon Davis, Mario, Moss, and Crabtree with Gore, that OLine, and defense is frightening
[/quote]</p>


I know!!
and not to be a downer...but that's not a team i want to play ever again in the playoffs. Skin of our teeth = thats how we got out of that one! lol
I must say, Ham and Moss made good choices....scariest team in football, man....</p>[/quote]

absolutely
[/quote]Talk about dropping a bomb on us. 2 weeks and your gone? Nah, no way? I hope not. Peyton to SF scares me silly. Nfc is going to be intense this year, very interested to see what Spags does in NO. Congratulation on the new job...Shorter commute I hope.[/quote]

haha yea, i'll try to get on here at night.... but i don't really use the computer at home lol

yea im trying to figure out if i want other things to be realistic, like other players on teams, or just the giants specifically. like, i didnt get rid of manningham yet...and i didnt get bennett yet. maybe i'll just finish out the first season with him(ham), and then just not resign him.
this sounds weird, but....i like when players get injured in the game, lets you use more players and 'develop' them.
i love madden lol.
I dont play online...because uhh....**** paying that.</p>[/quote]

well i've been playing it since oct, so i wanted to switch

online is free for madden

[quote user="JPizzack"]I dont mind Denver or anything, but I just dont see why Peyton would want to go there, when other teams have better personnel....
Denver doesnt have much going for them offensively in my opinion. i could be jsut selling them short, but they dont seem that great, or anything appealing enough for a future HOFer to sign with. dunno.[/quote]</P>


They are $40MM under the cap. Expect to see Dallas Clark signed with whatever team signs Peyton.</P>


The talent will follow when peyton signs. Point is that Denver has a very good defense. <FONT color=#0000ff>And Knowshow (despite the fact that he came from a hack college...Haha</FONT>) has a perfect skill set for Peyton.</P>


[/quote]</P>

I will be cool with Peyton in Denver......MOSTLY because it means i will most likely not have to hear about Tebow for quite some time, and that's the best thing that could happen for football in 2012!!</P>

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"]good news is that the running backs haven't been getting paid.

we may have a shot at tolbert...

unless he signed? I haven't been following since the tourny started

anybody doing a brackets?

I am doing pretty good. 3 of my final 4 teams and sitting pretty in 2nd place out of like 80

And i locked up first place in fantasy hoops, woop woop

EDIT: I heard we were looking at BGE ... any truth to that?
[/quote]</P>


we're looking at the Lawfirm?
didnt read much yet about that. Good backup for us....but I rather have Tolbert obviously.

Next week my fantasy hoops playoffs start, and only the 1st place team has clinched. THAT'S how close it is....
I basically just need to tie or win this week. My team is crippled =\</P>


and no, no bracket....i dont even watch.
I dont understand why ppl only follow the tourney when they A) dont follow college hoops, and B) dont even watch sports.
lol</P>


[/quote]

because its good basketball for the most part

plus having 4 stations of games for two full days is awesome lol
[/quote]</P>


The NCAA tournament sucks. Completely SUCKS!!!</P>


Good basketball Matt? Its like watching high school basketball. All the talent leaves college basketball after thier freshman year. College hoops is all about the coaches and not the players.</P>


And i can't watch Stuey when TBS has college basketball.</P>


[/quote]

u must of only watched your huskies play...

the officiating is trying to make sure their brackets don't bust
[/quote]</P>


So not only does the quality of play suck, so does the officiating.</P>


Nice call in the 'Cuse game.</P>


Bring on opening dayfor God's sake. February and March suck!!!!!</P>


[/quote]

u turned into such a grumpy old man lol

if uconn was still in u wouldn't be saying all of this. They let down the big east fans. I would be upset if i were u too.
[/quote]</P>


Of course. If my team is in it, thats the ONLY thing that would make it worth watching. The tournament on its own sucks.</P>


My only hope is that MSU wins it, (and I actually think they will).</P>


And don't give me the Big East crap. These conferences are a joke. To me the Big east is still, Uconn, Georgetown, Cuse, Seton Hall, BC, St Johns, Providence, Nova and thats about it. What the hell are Marquette, Louisville and friggin Cincinnatti doing here.</P>

dude go to that website i gave you, you'll get that pricre every time and thats only cuz they charge 20 for shipping. So each additional jersey u get will only be 20 bucks. They have the superbowl patched jerseys
