The leagues auto advance once everyone is ready. Many haven't checked that they are ready though, like 2/3. If people started doing that, we'd auto advance and could start on next week's games earlier.

Week 2 Players of the Week

Offensive Player

Wearing Down The Competition - Robert Griffin III certainly opened some eyes with his impressive showing on the field this week, including those in charge of handing out NFC player of the week honors.


Defensive Player

J. Patrick Takes Center Stage In Week 2 - Johnny Patrick was clearly the best player on the field this week in the NFC, and now he has the award to prove it.




Offensive Player

Unstoppable - Mike Wallace earned AFC offensive player of the week honors for his great play, but it's not like it's the first time he's played like a superstar.


Defensive Player

T. Mays Eclipses All In Week 2 - Taylor Mays was given Week 2 AFC defensive player of the week honors for his performance.

On the Madden CC online page, bottom right corner, you can see the stats of your previous games along with a preview of your upcoming game. Its just the stats, but an interesting look at matchups.

[Lord_Stewie]

Good game RL. It seems that you are getting difficult and better everytime we play. Too close of a game, pats won by 2 or 3 points.
Ravens owner pulled a scary comeback when I got ahead.

Thanks man, I still make to many mistakes throwing the ball.. o well tough to get out of a 0-3 hopefully i can

[RL10529]

The Ravens are thinking about blowing it up and starting to rebuild after their 0-3 start...will look into any offers for people on my team (3 near untouchables are t smith, j smith and suggs) but would still listen to offers for them

I would hold off on blowing up the team. You are 0-3 but you play the CPU next, and 3 more games vs the CPU after that.

The key to Madden is practice. Play some ranked games with the intention of working on some of your weaknesses. Don't worry about the score, it will prepare you for the league games. Trust me the top players in the lgs are getting it in. If you work on your game Im sure you will be in position for the playoffs at the end of the season.

[sdcg81]

I threw 3 int vs. CPU packers /facepalm. I hate int! Bruce Irvin had 4 sacks though!

Also RL take a look at my roster (Seahawks) and see if any pieces you like. Im down for some trades.

[MaCruz]

Bears defeated Rams!
49ers defeated Vikings!
Eagles defeated Rams!
Patriots defeated Ravens!
Seahawks defeated Packers!

I sent a PM on here. Still no reply.

And believe it or not, there still are reports of burn in to plasmas. And to avoid it, don't play any video games or 4:3 (never do anyway) for the first 200 hours. Actually found a negative review for the set I am buying from a guy playing video games, probably just video games, and complaining of burn in. I am actually a little concerned about watching Red Zone on sat..

I'd send a PSN message also and tell him to PM you back on here.

Yeah I was careful with my set when I got mine about 2 years ago. When I know I'll leave Madden on for a while to update the league. I would just turn my set off just to be on the safe side. I don't want to take any chances.

[slick1ru2]

Is it just me or are the drops just crazy in this game. . I've seen drops before, but it just seems out of control now. That being said, I notice that TEs seem to have a lower drop % than WRs and running backs.
