XBLN Madden League Update: Playoffs Time!

 
 
 Due to some of the people signing up not playing their games, the schedule will be altered. Now, we will play every person in the league 3 times. And the people who have not signed up through Madden or have been reported will be dropped. There are currently 14 people in the league. The top 6 will earn a playoff spot with the top 2 gaining a bye. The end date for these games will be January 31st 2009.  Results will be posted here and reposted every week.

CHEESE PLAY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. WE HAVE BEEN GETTING REPORTS OF SUCH ACTS LIKE GOING FOR IT ON 4TH, CALLING THE SAME PLAY OVER AND OVER, NANO BLITZING, ROCKET CATCHING, AND MORE. LETS KEEP THIS SIMPLE PEOPLE. IF YOU DON'T SEE IT IN REAL LIFE, THEN DON'T DO IT. WE HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CHEESING. WE WILL INSTITUTE A ONE STRIKE RULE. NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS. LAST WARNING!!!

  3. I think some people need to be reminded that this is a sim tourny. Like the skins guy going for it on 4th and 13 in the 1st with a 7-7 tie, and setting up nano's.

  4. Yes, this has been addressed now. Read the post now. I have updated it.

  5. I almost beat Saluki. I only lost 17-14. Good game again Saluki.

  6. Why do I have a loss? I played one of my two scheduled games and won it. With the other one, I tried repeatedly to contact the other player (Romanmusiq) and he signed in to XBL but never responded, which I reported to Deus twice. So...why do I have a loss?

    Thanks.

  9. good game to you for our second game Saluki. Sorry i got pissed after the game, you'll have to excuse me for that lol.

    That TD pass to Roy Williams was crazy. I tried to swat it... oh well

    I still have one more shot at it lol.

  13. After the last game i played i've decided to concede from the tourny. Obviously what i think of as sim and what others think of as sim are two completely different things, and since i'd rather lose a sim game then play 4qtrs of cheese and win i'm retiring at 10-0. good luck to the rest of you all.

  14. And i don't know why Deus felt the need to slander me. Not one of the 10 guys i played complained about the way i play. I left the tourny voluntarily because i didn't feel like it fit me, obviously some people take things too personally.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'm taking it personally because I have received complaints about how you played. I'm not going to go into detail about what specifically it was but there were some. It was my choice to keep you in but you let me down and do this. I'm about tired of being taken advantage of. I try to be nice and I give fair chances. Instead of going this length, you could have question the rules and I could have provided some clarification to any problem you had with the tourny. Like the guy with the Steelers, I tried to be nice to him and gave him many chances to redeem himself but he blew it. And all of this makes me look bad. I will hate to go to a one strike rule but it looks I will have to.

  16. Please do tell what rules i've broken? I play each and every owner the exact same way, ask your admins jerhawk and sgrt meatloaf, i dont feel the need to cheat to win, i'd rather play a good sim game and lose then play cheesy and win. Which is why i dropped out, why play if it isn't fun? People get too cheap when there's something to be won, thats why i stick to free lgs.

    ReplyDelete
  17. And lol at giving yourself the win in a game you lost fair and square, i believe i was 11-0

    ReplyDelete
  18. Ok what happened? I think I missed something here...

    ReplyDelete
  19. That's not fair for you to give yourself the win for a game you lost, if your gunna do that for yourself then u should give everybody who lost to me a win, it doesn't seem very fair that you should have a win u didn't earn and everyone else is stuck with losses.

    ReplyDelete
  20. instead of bucs can i have steelers since bdhnbtown8532 has been removed

    ReplyDelete
  21. Sounds fair Saluki, I gave everybody that lose to you the win. And I dont have to ask anybody anything. I already know what happened. And you should know what you've done. I will not speak to you anymore over this matter. End of story.

    Yes Antman, you can be the Steelers. Just quit the league and come back as the Steelers since you havent played any games yet..

  23. The Poop still wants to hear what went down between Deus Legend and Saluki. The Poop is very confused here....

  24. I just decided i didn't wanna be in the tourny anymore because i didn't agree with what deus viewed as sim. As far as i was concerned it was over then, but according to him i'm a cheater who he's received multiple complaints about, he still hasn't told me what he was talking about and it didn't surface untill i decided i didn't wanna play in the tourny anymore. I thought he was bigger than making stuff up about people but seems i was mistaken.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Its coming out now because everytime I be nice and give chances people backstab me. I have gotten plenty of reports that you have been doing fake field goals when you were up by like 10 points one occasion was against me. By rule, this is against sim play. You actually did me a favor by taking your leave. As far as I am concerned, this situation is over.

    ReplyDelete
  26. LMAO, i know for a fact no one complained about me doing fake field goals because i've done like 3 of the ever, and only one recently which was the game against you, i'm still waiting to hear whats so unsim about my game, or what these alleged complaints were, because if there is something unsim about my game i'd like to know so i can fix it, but so far it just sounds your the only person who's had any type of problem with me

    ReplyDelete
  27. By rule, Just that once instance of you doing that should have put you at the door.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't see that guy with the Detroit Lions on the list of people.
    And can you please update the latest trades? Thanks commissioner.
