I'd like to think I kept it close. He finally got a field goal in with 1:27 or so left in the 4th to put it at 17 - 14, and my next drive didn't really go anywhere. Grumps was just going to run the clock down until I called a timeout, so he kicked a field goal from 49 yards away and it went through. That's what I get for being cocky. =)
I had a great time. Bring on the rest of the season!
Warlock, we gonna play tonight? 11EST ok with you?
Yeah, should be. I'm currently in Uldaman, going on hour 3, but I'm seriously about to just quit the group.
Swampy.. I think I may join and play Halo 2 tomorrow afterall, so that I may kill you again and again and again
Seriously though, awesome game.
I do hate you a little for that last minute push for a TD, murdering my hopes of winning another game in this league.
*sigh*

It's that goddamned Leeroy Jenkins again, isn't it.
How will I know if you want to play? Will you post here?
Yeah. 11:30? Stupid instances.
That, or we can play tomorrow night. Sorry.
11:30's good. See you in... 23 minutes. I'll be warming up my losing.
I'll be warming up my losing.
Dude, not only are you playing ME, you're playing ME using the LIONS.
I doubt you'll lose.
Bagga, are you getting my challenge?
Hopefully I don't have to direct connect EVERY time I want to play a game, like I did with King Cohiba in our baseball game...
I gues I'll have to try that... and maybe we can play tomorrow night...
Yeah Bags, it must be the Direct Connect problem. Anyone a Router Guru who can suggest a workaround? (Netgear Router, Cable Modem).
My roommate will be gone tomorrow night, so we can play then.

What is the router model, homie?
OK, lemme just say this. ESPN NFL 2k5's online implementation is utter horsesh*t. The game.. has its flaws, but fine whatever. But if I can connect to Xbox Live, and send text messages to my opponent, I should goddamn be able to play him. Does Madden pull this crap? If not, then it deserves to be the only NFL game.

Oh god, oh god. Worse.

Text messages go you --> server --> them. And it doesn't matter if the damn thing has 5 seconds of latency.
Games are you --> them, directly. And it definitely does matter what the latency of THAT connection is.
So the logic doesn't quite hold. And yeah, the game's networking is wonky at times.
Man, when nobody was looking, Swampy snuck his way up to 6-2.
Swampy, ruthlessmuffin and I made a trad can you please approve it when you get a chance.
Thanks
Geez Frankie, you went DEEP on the depth chart for that one. The names are getting more and more obscure.
Lothar, let's try for 10 PM Wednesday night. If I'm not online by 10:15 then I probably got screwed over by my ISP.
sounds good
New England (Redhwk) @ NY Jets (II Fight II)I won't have a free night before next Monday or Tuesday. Really would like to get this game in as I should have Dillon back.
K I'm back and have all of Tues evening free to play some football. Fight you going to be around?
Redhwk, he is always on aim his AOL name is BbaLLa4EvA29. I will leave him a message also.

Understood, but it shouldn't matter. The point is, if I can connect to Live, I should be able to at least start a game with somebody. Not have problems even receiving challenges from somebody and sit on the "Waiting for opponent" screen forever. That's just poor software. Either start the game or tell me we can't play for whatever piss-poor reason. In any case, if you can connect to live, you should be able to start a game... period. And yes I'm a nerd and understand the programming model differences between user - server - user and user - user, but that shouldn't be my concern. I'd expect this kind of crap from something like, say, BF2, but not on a console platform. Just ranting, pay no mind to the raving lunatic with the sweet avatar.

<> Nevermind, then. No used copy of Madden for me.

Thanks Frankie, I'll look him up this evening.
He can smell your fear, Swampy.
I'm sure your o-line will do fine, they usually protect Trent Green's old bones pretty well. Just make sure Boerigter in on the field and I'm sure you'll destroy me, I think I'm allergic to scoring these days
