All Pro Football 2k8 - Season 3 - Week 5

The week is two weeks old.

Time to start week 5. Remember, we have a flex schedule. So feel free to play your week 5 games. I'll roll the schedule forward officially once everyone gets their games in.

Elliot -- We're up. The family is gone all weekend...while I have to work, I should be pretty free to get in a game if you're around.

Prederick, you're my official opponent this week. When works for you?

Ertic, DSGamer, Jayhawker, and frankiemumbles, I can go ahead and get my games with you out of the way this week if you want. Let me know.

Ertic we are up in week 5 so when do you want to play. I'm free every night just let me know

Firesloth, I should be free most of Sunday. We could do an evening game.

Battle of the Gunslingers this week!

Are you ready to rumble, Frankie?

Sunday night, after 11:00 EST, Monday night before 8:30 EST or Tuesday anytime. Let me know.

Let's try for tonight after 11 EST.

Prederick,

Ertic and I are scheduled to play tonight at 9 CST. I should be ready to play my game with you immediately after so if you log in and see me playing him don't sweat it.

Prederick and I are done. If anyone else (DSGamer, Jayhawker, and frankiemumbles) wants to get our game in early, I'm up for that.

When is your best available time, Grumpicus? Later in the evenings are best, but I can play earlier if needed.

Usually, later is about the only time I'm available but I'm kid-free this week so whatever works for you, works for me.

Elliot -- Sorry, but I got called for an unanticipated pick-up of the Wife & Child last night. I'm around many evenings late, i.e., after 10 pm east coast time. I'll check for you tonight; any other times that sound good?

10pm est should work for me most of the time. Lets just try to casually meet up the next couple days, if not, we'll schedule an exact time. I should be on playing Penny Arcade adventure the next couple nights.

Hey Muffin - I will be off Wed-Sat this week so how about we shoot for a Thursday game?

Sounds perfect!

...and I'm looking forward to seeing the result of the Ertic-Ruthlessmuffin throw-down this week.

Also, anyone know why the stats from our last game didn't make it onto the League website?? They seemed to be included in the stats I looked at through the Xbox Live functionality within the game.

No clue. It could be that the game had to be reset? I vaguely remember that happening before.

I too am curious about Ertic-Ruthlessmuffin. Ertic has come from nowhere to be a Force. A force, I tell you. He can deny it, but at 4-0 it's official. With an 8 week season he's already clinched a playoff spot. Granted we take 8 teams into the playoffs, but still, he's a Force.

Bagga, when do you want to play this week?

I played Ruthless before the season started and he zapped me. He was able to score at will!

I played Firesloth for one series before the season started and couldnt move the ball.

4-2 here I come!!!

FARCE - not force!

Any night this week is good, around 10 or 10:30 EST. What about you, my good man?

I will be home earlier today because of a doctor's appt. Like 5pm PST. So anywhere from then on would be great.

I'll be on for a little while, hit me up if you're around.

Good game, bagga. Once again a shootout egged on by my aerial assault. I'm lucky to win again. So many close games.

Oh, and in that game, because of your 500+ yards passing, Todd Christensen moved up towards the top of the receivers. In one game.

That's the skewing affect of playing against me. When do you want to play, Grumpicus? You were mentioning getting in future games for your sake.

I'm just saying I'm ready and willing to take advantage of my temporary bachelorhood to get games played in advance so I'm not holding up the official schedule in the future. Pick a night and time and I'll be there.

Goodness, DS...in your last two games, the leading rushers have had 19 and 29 yards, respectively. I am impressed that you gave foster 2 carries this last game, just to keep Bagga honest...

If Earl Campbell only gets 19 yards rushing in our battle, I'm gonna' be pulling my hair out (and losing, inevitably).

Good game, Frankie.

We played a hell of a nail biter tonight. We were tied 7-7 at the half. After three quarters of play, we were still tied 10-10. Then all hell broke loose, and Theismann hit Don Maynard with a hail mary to win the game as time ran out 31-24. Frankie had just come back to tie the game with 10 seconds left as well. The catch Maynard made to win the game was pretty insane. He came down with it at the two, and in the incredible animation we have come to love with 2K football, he stretched out and got the ball just over the goal line to score in the pile of players.

My kicker finally missed a field goal tonight, and now stands 6-7 on the season. But he missed a 61 yarder, that I decided to try because there was a serious wind at my back, and I had been stopping Frankie most of the day. I think the ball landed at about the 20.

It was such a good game that I really felt bad handing Frankie his fifth loss of the season. But I'll take the win!

I *tried* to play my style of football; oh, how did I try. After he went up to the tune of something like 34-14, though, it was time to start slingin' it. He's got quite a smart angle, that DS. Basically, he lights up the scoreboard and dares you to play his game; if you don't, you simply won't score enough points to catch up. Even though I got lucky and took it to overtime, he really deserved the win; I think he got bored of scoring for a while and even took pity on me. He could probably have put up around 70 points if he felt like it.

Yes, the defending champ is going down like a chump. Good game Jayhawker it was a fun game. I'm ready for the next draft.

P.S I Hate Marcus Allen
