NFL2K8 Season II

NFL2K8 Season II:

We have 18 that have expressed an interest, if everyone does not sign up promptly, we may go with the first 16 teams that post.

NFL2K8 is an active NFL sim league. It is expected that each member will play 3 games per week every week and attempt to finish all 16 games in the season win or lose. If you find yourself out of the playoff race, use the games to practice and experiment in a competitive league environment. That's how you can improve! If you cannot play 3 games per week every week and will not strive to complete all 16 games, please do not join this league.

------------------------
Rules:
------------------------

the Hitman league rules apply (Just a few edits):

Game play:

1: Sportsmanship is a must. If your up big than run the ball and don't run the score up at all.

2: Replays are limited to 3 a half unless your opponent doesn't mind.

3: If you lose to some shady gameplay please take a day to reflect on it when your not so upset before you call someone out or send me a complaint. I will not consider your issue unless a day has passed.

4. You CAN NOT move more than 1 person manually at any time during a play on defense. You need to use in game adjustments like shade in, shade out, Press, & Cover Shells.

Substitutions:

O-Line are interchangeable

D-Line are Interchangeable

LB are Interchangeable and LB's with a Pass Rush Attribute like Sack Master or Pass Rush can play DE in Nickle and Dime Packages.

CB, FS, & SS are all interchangeble and can play any secondary position.

RB's & FB's are interchangeable. FB's can play as TE ala Chris Cooley.

TE's can only play at TE & WR

WR's can only play as a WR

There no 2 way players allowed at all so don't ask.

PUNTING RULES:

We will reuse Brownster14's punting rules which simplifies punting decisions to a 'yes' or 'no'.

Rule 1. A team may go for it on 4th down and inches at any time in the game, whether they are leading, tied, or trailing.
Rule 2. A team may go for it on 4th down and 1 yard if they are past the 50 and inside their opponents territory, at any time in the game, whether they are leading, tied, or trailing.
Rule 3. A team may go for it on 4th down and any number of yards if the line of scrimmage is on their opponents 40 or less.
Rule 4. A team may go for it on 4th down and any number of yards from anywhere on the field if they are trailing in the 4th quarter by any amount.
Rule 5. A team may go for it on 4th down if it's the end of the 2nd quarter and time will expire on the last play.
Rule 6. A team may go for it on 4th down regardless of yards to go or location if it's under 2 minutes in the 4th quarter.
Rule 7. A team must punt the ball or kick a field goal if it is 4th down and Rules #1 through Rule #6 do not apply.

Blitzing:

1: 5-2 Middle LB Blitz is legal since it can be countered. Shotgun Formation, Flat to RB, Slant pass, Max Protect with RB's staying in to block, PA roll outs can counter this blitz well.

2: Secondary players blitzing can be done as much as you want as long as you are not manually controlling them at anytime during the blitz.

3: LB's can be used manually to blitz but can not move closer to line of scrimmage than they are already automatically set at.

Defensive Lineman:

1: You can use any D-Lineman but you can not use the DE to run a stunt and come in untouched at all. This is a known glitch in the game.

2: You can not move a D-Lineman manually at all whether your moving him off the line or back and into coverage before the snap of the ball.

3: D-Lineman special moves like Swim, Rip, Club, Bull Rush, and Spin are allowed and are encouraged for you to use since it is part of the game.

Motion Running:

1: You can use motion running as long as the guy you motion clears the end of the line whether it is the Tackle or TE.

2: You can not hike the ball unless your guy has cleared the end of the last person on your O-Line.

Bump Man 2 Man defense:

1: You can play this as much as you want.

2: To counter Bump man you are allowed to put your WR in motion and can snap the ball only when your WR is set 100% to get off the bump like a real NFL team would do. You do not have to wait for the CB to be set but you must allow the CB to at least get in front of the WR.

3: You can also motion your WR off the line of scrimmage to get him a free release off the line by him backing off of the LOS.

Screen passes:

1: You can not run one way and throw back the other way on a screen pass because the camera will be cut off to the point where you can not see the RB to manually cover him.

2: You are allowed 3 screen passes a half so use them wisely.

Routes:

1: Out Routes, Middle post, Double move post should all be used in moderation. I will not ban these routes because there are ways to defend everyone of them even if you like it or not. If the out route and the hot route fade pattern is all your opponent has in his offensive arsenal than you should be able to defend it pretty easy. If you need help learning how to defend these plays or plays that work against them than let me know. Here are a few.

Defending the out route:

1: Shade your CB's to the out side in man 2 man.
2: Cover 2 Hard for short out routes with your CB's shaded to the outside.
3: Cover 2 soft for the deeper out routes with your CB's shaded to the outside.
4: Manually jumping the route and defending it.

Defending the Middle post:

1: Hot zone your safety to cover the middle of the field.
2: Hot zone your ILB to cover the deep middle.
3: Manually jumping the route and defending it.

Defending the Double Move route:

1: Cover 12
2: Manually jumping the route and defending it.

All of these issues are not as huge if you have a pass rush.

Banned plays:

1: Cadence

2: Bunny Hopping

3: Switching defenders in a Flickering kind of way as fast as you can to confuse blockers.

4: Kickoffs can not be kicked off to the side of the field to stop return man from getting to the ball at all. If you don't want him to return it than kick it out of bounds without it hitting the ground. You must kick it down the middle, slightly to the left or right.

5: Punting can not be punted short for the purpose of a muffed punt because you can not take control of your player to stop him from going for the punt.

6. No quick snapping allowed.

7. You can use the QB punt, but you must decline any roughing the kicker penalties.

8. The hot corner route (using the outside WR) is banned in this league.

League issues

1: You can not quit for any reason at all.

2: If there is an issue with game play contact an admin a day after your game has passed.

3: No negative feedback can be given at anytime.

[ElGreazy78]

Really guys? Joe Flacco a silver, Seneca Wallace a gold? Falcons with 2 Gold RBs? Shockely instead of Ryan? What's going on here?

Look I understand you all want to win and that we could all nit-pick our CAPs if we wanted, but at least try to create CAPs with some bit of realism. :rolleyes:

[amid]

"There is no team validation. Build your NFL team with the players you want at the tier you want."

It can take weeks to validate all the teams. We wanted to give guys the flexibility to play with their favorite NFL team (if available), with their favorite players and with a team build they can live with. We don't want to substitute fun for realism in this league. It is a game.

You may be hard pressed to find any NFL QB that does not have arm strength and accuracy.... or they won't be around long. Any 1st or 2nd string NFL QB may be a 'silver' (2 abilities).

Bravo!

Thats why Im in this league! Im surprised we arent fielding a full 32 teams with this style of league.

[ElGreazy78]

I understand the point of no validation and all, but I guess when the rules are made to suit the users it's fair. No big deal. Either way, I would have liked to see some class out of you guys in regards to respecting the game and your opponents, but whatev's.

I guess I am missing the point ElGreazy. You can select any player you want and their abilities. It's the same for both of us. Where is the advantage in the rules for anyone? Having strict ability guidelines for players is fine, I play in other leagues that have it and it is no problem. However, many just go find a team with the top players in the place they like to have them (e.g. gold HB or gold WR etc.). Why not allow a person to have fun and play with his favorite team (and favorite players) and build a team the way he wants? That's what is done in most leagues... you build the team the way you want and have fun.

True enough...and everyone here is responsible in their play styles. plus the 3 CAP golds greatily reduces the "superman" factor, and makes things even for everyone.

[dtrain053]

I'm just wondering why there was no complaint last season. There were a handful of players that you could argue were not truly gold tier players, but no one took issue.

Really as long as everyone knows up front its not a big deal. Most people are pretty honest with the players for "their" team. You may have a few players in a wrong tier, but even then the abilities seem honest.

[dtrain053]

I'm gonna bow out for season 2 amid. I enjoy the league, but time for games isn't coming as easy these days. Committing to more th 5 or 6 games a week would be doing to much.

[nflhitman]

Well would it be any different if I replaced some players on my Seahawks with player that deserve there tier?

No one would argue that Hasselbeck could be a Gold and Deion Branch and bobby Engram could be Silvers. All I did was go with what I was feeling right now. Hasselbeck has ****ed me off with his game play this season along with his bruised kneee that is keeping him out after he got his WR's back. Jordan Kent is an Oregon product so I wanted him more than Branch who is always hurt and Nate Burleson is a Seattle Native.

This is my reason for it though I dont need one. If you notice I have Jordan Kent and Seneca Wallace in NFLP new season.

[Superbuffundo]

lookin foward to playing the Falcons. need to test my run D

[GrrrillaPmp]

lookin foward to playing the Falcons. need to test my run D

Trust me, my run game looks a lot scarier than it actually is.

[nyknicks33]

Trust me, my run game looks a lot scarier than it actually is.

How about power for turner's 3rd ability?

[GrrrillaPmp]

I was thinking that but I've never really seen him give out stiff arms. Norwood gives out more stiff arms than Turner.

I'm like 96% sure I'm going to go with battering ram because Turner runs thru a lot of tackles and he runs low, wich is exactly what you do when you execute a shoulder charge.

Actually yeah I'm officially going to go with battering ram for #33's final ability.

Your team looks good except that Route God and Branching Tackles are banned attributes for players. Pick some different attributes for L.T. and Vincent Jackson.

The attribute of Finesse & Power is a watered down version of those moves. Not very good but it is up to you. That was just my opinion on Finesse & Power.

[nyknicks33]

I'm going to create my players this evening, wouldnt mind taking them for a trial run.

Dtrain, when can we get our playoff game in?

[Bowdown]

RB's & FB's are interchangeable. FB's can play as TE ala Chris Cooley.

TE's can only play at TE & WR



I would like clarification on the FB's. Cooley is a TE not a FB but on the TE's it states they ca only play as a TE and WR. So can TE's play as FB?

TE's in the NFL lineup in the backfield a lot especially in power run formations. Players like Chris Cooley lineup in the backfield all the time to try and get mismatches on coverages. They can go in to motion and go either way or stay in back field and run a route from there. They also lineup as a FB to Block. Leonard Weaver for the Seahawks was a TE and Seattle made him as a FB when Mack Strong retired but he plays both. Any TE can be lined up at FB.

[nyknicks33]

Per El Greazy's suggestion, we have divided into divisons and conferences. The top 2 teams from each divison will make the playoffs regardless of win/loss records. You must win your conference to make it to the Super Bowl. We will take the default regular season schedule and not edit for divison games x 2 (home and away).

Get your teams ready. League will be ready to join tonight.

The attribute of Finesse & Power is a watered down version of those moves. Not very good but it is up to you. That was just my opinion on Finesse & Power.

LT now just has finessethanks

Per El Greazy's suggestion, we have divided into divisons and conferences. The top 2 teams from each division will make the playoffs regardless of win/loss records. AFC seed #1 will play AFC seed #6 etc. 'Most games played' will be awarded home field advantage. You must win your conference to make it to the Super Bowl. We will take the default regular season schedule and not edit for divison games x 2 (home and away).


http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc73/tjspeaks/1-28.jpg

Get your team ready (remember correct height, weight, number etc. and accurate uniforms). We will have the league name and password ready this evening. We would like everyone to join the league no later than Friday so games can start this weekend. You will have one week (until next Saturday night) to get your first three games in.

Comment/Suggestion: Now that you added divisions, I dont see how you can't schedule a couple of games against our division opponents.

How are tie breakers going to be determined if you only taking the top 2 from each division?

I understand it might be a lot of work to get the schedule completed but your so close on making this some what realistic of an NFL season.

Too much work :cool:

The default schedule should have each team play every other team one time (and one team 2x). It is more interesting playing different opponents than playing several teams 2x each.

Tiebreakers (without the need for a calculator):
1) Who won the head to head match?
2) Who beat the highest rated opponent?
3) Who lost to the lowest rated opponent?
If the default schedule goes as planned, in most cases, you only need tiebreaker #1. This makes every regular season game very important (just like in the NFL).

y can u bring safeties to the line but not backers benedictine keeps moving his dbs to the line y cant i move my backers manually

[nflhitman]

y can u bring safeties to the line but not backers benedictine keeps moving his dbs to the line y cant i move my backers manually

You can move your LB's up using normal game adjustments. You can move your safeties all the way up to the line by calling a cover1 shell without manually touching them at all. If you play me I can guarantee that because you got an Gold RB you will see my safety on the line almost every down. You can use your LB's manually but you can not take them manually and closer to the line than they would be normally. Once the ball is snapped feel free to manually blitz your LB.

rayaman you can not give negative feedback in this league. Please don't do it again.

Benedictine there is no reason for you to be late hitting anyone. If you do this because you think in this league they shouldn't accept and late hit penalties than your wrong.

since they were not being called u continue to do it huh

[rayaman]

Lol

Ray how is this cheesing?

You never seen a football team bring the safety into the box? You should expected it seeing that you have a gold RB and TE.


The late hitting has no effect on the game. However, you calling punt on 1st and 10 because your down 21-0 is childish.

Thanks for the neg rep rating btw.

what was running your dbs in circles around your outside linebacker ive never seen that in the nfl

[GrrrillaPmp]

Lost a heartbreaker to the browns earlier.

I'll be on after the Falcons game if anyone wants it.

[kod68]

I've seen quite a few people hitting the deck after the play is dead, throughout the game. Don't recall ever being constantly hit while it happened.
I think the third late hit and I would start taking penalties regardless.

Oh we've all hit a guy just after the whistle because we were maybe a half second late with the stick or pressign x.

What this guy was late hitting WELL after the whistle, coming with a player who is 5 yds away, and trying to nail the player who has just been tackled

If it is any consolation, by DL9 season is going almost exactly the same way. I'm 2-9 and virtually every game has been decided by 1 possesion. It's maddening :)

NFL2K8 is a fun sim league. However, you will be dropped from the league (without notice) and not invited back if:

1) You do not maintain your '3 games per week - attempt to finish all 16 games' commitment.

2) Mods receive multiple rules violations/poor sportsmanship messages concerning you.

3) You 'retire' from APF2K8.

so... have fun, play sim and be a good sport.

If you find yourself out of a game or out of the playoff race, that is an excellent time to improve. Try some new plays, experiment with different defenses and discover your secret weapon generic players. Get better for next season/other leagues.

[nflhitman]

I had no idea how much more fun could be infused into this game simply by joining a league.

Now I just gotta polish my game up cuz the comp is pretty serious.

Yea the best players play in leagues and don't bother with the lobby cheesers. If one of the league members like myself are in the lobby it is usually to practice with a new team or concept. Glad to have you.

[Khan Lives]

Incase anyone I haven't played is around tonite, I should be on after 7:30pm EST til about 1am ESt to run some.

True. All of us here have basically "proved" long ago that we know how to play this game. For me, its now about having fun, throwing different kinds of teams together adn challenging myself.

I just go to into a lobby game to see what I threw together performs..could not care less about winning a lobby game or losing it at this point.

just realize, but that game was vs Arizona Cardinals. Haven't played the Falcons yet.

[Khan Lives]

At first... I didn't know what all the fuss was about concerning Gold Rbs. I never really faced them in leagues, only in Lobby games. Never a Created Gold Rb with 5 attributes. I think it's fair to say, that my D is decent against the run, but the pass in another story. 8 games, and I've given up One 100 yard rushing game... none above 80 and mostly all are below 50. I faced a Gold Rb that chewed up 240 yards vs Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher. With 2 Defensive Run Coverage lineman. I thought unbelievable. So my point is Amid. If there is a season III of this league. Can we have the Gold Defensive players to have 5 attributes?

[FunkyRezident]

This league only has created gold hb's with 3 abilities and not 5 khan.

[ElGreazy78]

I think this league has done well with curtailing the overpowered Gold HBs but then again, I still can't stop Funky Rez's rushing attack at all! :)

[GrrrillaPmp]

I think I played Rez last night with decent success against his run game.
So containment is possible.

Oh yeah I'm on my way to the league lobby now.

There are no gold with 5 attributes in this league.

[FunkyRezident]

I know me and you always have a decent game vs each other but i really shouldn't have played that game. Had a Lil to many pops watching the games yesterday. From now on I'm not playing any games on Sundays.LOL And yes it's possible to stop gold backs. Tj has held me under 60 yards this season.

[GrrrillaPmp]

Yeah it's pretty hard to create a world beating HB with those limitations.

Hell. I have 2 gold backs and still lost my first game. Hopefully if someone hits the lobby I can get a W tonight.

Maybe the words are mistyped or something? I never said there was a 5 ablitity Gold RB or anything. I SAID LOBBY. I'm not complaining about anyones build of players either. What I asked if we could have 5 abilities for Defense? I like D more than Offense.... and I have 2 of the best LBs in this league. IMO. They lead the league in Tackles..... number 1 and 2.

I think my 2 LB are the best in the league, your only ahead in tackles because you played more games:lol:

[FunkyRezident]

Khan:
My boss bailey is pretty good. He had 8 tackles in our game and out preformed your gold unit who had 6 collectively.

Overall and i know it's early but he's got 29 tackles,1 sack,2ints and 9 passes defended. Not to shabby for a bronze.

[nflhitman]

tjspeaks why isn't there a rule in this league about moving everyone around on defense? You posted you use my rules yet they that rule is not in it? I was playing benedictine and he moves everyone manually on defense all over the field. He also manually brought his CB up to the line of scrimmage right next to my Right Tackle to blitz. He did not blitz but pulled back in to coverage. My point is that in a SIM league with SIM rules you shouldn't be moving your whole defense around manually. Call the right play, Use in game adjustments or don't join SIM leagues.

Benedictine has great stick skills and he beat me bad and I am not taking anything away from him on his victory but moving everyone on your defense pre snap is ********.

[FunkyRezident]

Hey hitman i did this to you once but it wasn't intentional. Was GG as well. Also, i thought moving nickelback presnap was fine?

[Benedictine]

Hitman,

I only move my FS, SS, and Nickleback depending on the formation. The nickleback may line up over the TE depending on the formation. I stoped doing this in the 2nd half. I was only moving 1 saftey.

I want to point out that when you started moving both Fs and SS into the box, I was still able to have an effective offense.

It is not about you or I having an effective offense. It is about what is considered SIM or not SIM. Everyone who plays me knows I dont move multiple players on defense but I did do it this game to give you a taste of what you are doing. I never discounted your skill or stick skills. I am saying that in a SIM league moving 3 players as you stated every time before the snap is ********.

[Benedictine]

Yeah,

I did not mind you doing it at all. I prefer it.

However, if it is cheese then I will stop.

[youngholla]

I would love to see pics of this guys

[FunkyRezident]

Holy Carp. James had a career day! 236 yards on ya with 8 guys in box is G_G!

[Bowdown]

I am sorry but I will never allow anyone that much time to move 3-4 players manually. I'll be snaping the ball and you'll be kissing the turf. Unless your that dam fast?

You will only fall on your face if your doing normal adjustments. If he is moving all his guys around than the only thing that would happen would be him stuck on that one guy while moving him.

[amid]

tjspeaks why isn't there a rule in this league about moving everyone around on defense? You posted you use my rules yet they that rule is not in it?

I have not removed any rules regarding moving defensive players. Here are the rules addressing this:

Blitzing:

LB's can be used manually to blitz but can not move closer to line of scrimmage.

Defensive Lineman:

1: You can use any D-Lineman but you can not use the DE to run a stunt and come in untouched at all. This is a known glitch in the game.

2: You can not move a D-Lineman manually at all whether your moving him off the line or back and into coverage before the snap of the ball.

Are we missing one of your rules? Do we need to add one to address? We are using your rules so add/edit as you wish.

Benedictine good game today, I didnt have a problem with your game play but I am pretty sure you had your generic WR Isom as TE. I know sometime when you edit teams the old setup stays so you may want to check if this is in fact true. Double check your ace formations.

[nyknicks33]

He also has Larry Fitzgerald subbed into the TE spot in the tight end flex formation. The play call screen tells you 1 TE, 2 WR, 2 backs you get to the line and there is Larry lined up as a TE.

70% feedback and it shows, as I said, but hey whatever.

[amid]

Benedictine, please correct all your substitutions before you start any more games. WRs in any TE slot in any formation is never alllowed.

[Benedictine]

Hey Ny,

Thanks man! The feedback system in this game is 100% accurate and it shows!

I am sure your feedback score is very good.

I just have a couple questions..

How often do you play lobby games?

How often do you play cheesers?

How often do you play quick matches?

If you don't ever play any of these actively. Then please STFU.

Btw, this is my first active league ever. I have been playing since dreamcast. I have 400+ ratings all from non-league games. No one has ever been required to give me a positive rating. Can you say the same?

I'll check my team and make the subs.


I went through all the formations. There was not one formation were Larry was in the Tight end spot. However, Isom was in some ace formations.

We like getting new gamers into the league to keep things fresh and there is always an adjustment time to align with league rules and acceptable gameplay. You may have to make that adjustment before every game. Sometimes when you change it in the league menu, it doesn't save it.

[Khan Lives]

don't know, but you are pretty much an exception to the rule. your line does a good job in the run and your rb is fast. so even a chip block is enough for your rb to get to the edge and around my lbs.

[nflhitman]

Benedictine I thought the same thing about Isom when he kept burning my defense but I wasn't sure if he was a WR or TE and that is why I went to replay to see how it was and it was Isom. Now that I know that is a TE please remove him from your set up at TE. I didn't notice Fitgerald at any TE spot in my game but it does show the defense what personal is suppose to come out on the field and if it shows 2 TE and you come out and have 3 WR's than one is in the TE spot.

tjspeaks: Here is the rule that was in my league rules. I have no clue how it got removed.

Gameplay:

You CAN NOT move more than 1 person manually at any time during a play on defense. You need to use in game adjustments like shade in, shade out, Press, & Cover Shells.

[amid]

Rule has been added:

On the WR at TE issue... if any player feels like you lost a game against Benedictine because of this, please post and we can discuss a reset and replay of the game.

benedictine is a very immature person all of his responses to complaints about his style of play proves it he is a cheeser 4 people have complained about him if 1 more person does i feel he should be removed from the league also i think my game against him should be reset because he was moving all his dbs around and late hitting me that why i just ran out the clock and left him a neg i know its against the rules but he deserved

[amid]

i think my game against him should be reset because he was moving all his dbs around and late hitting me
The 'moving more than one defender' rule was not listed in the rules at the time of the game. The reset/replay option is open only to those who feel they lost a game because of WRs in a TE position which was in the rules before the start of the season.

[rayaman]

y can u bring safeties to the line but not backers benedictine keeps moving his dbs to the line y cant i move my backers manually

1st complaint

[rayaman]

Oh we've all hit a guy just after the whistle because we were maybe a half second late with the stick or pressign x.

What this guy was late hitting WELL after the whistle, coming with a player who is 5 yds away, and trying to nail the player who has just been tackled

2nd complaint

[rayaman]

All complaints concerning moving defenders around begin today since there was no rule in place preventing it.

[FootballSchemer]

All complaints concerning moving defenders around begin today since there was no rule in place preventing it.

ther is no such thing as illegal formation on defense, therefore; you can move any of your secondary anywhere... This causes for more open gaps most of the time anyways so why complain?? Get a better offense...

[nyknicks33]

I won my game against him, so its moot to me, but atleast now everyone is informed and there shouldnt be any issues in the future.

You are not in this league so your in put is not even worth noting. Nobody said anything about illegal formations, It was in my rules from the beginning and somehow got erased. It was added back again.

So therefore you can move anyone you want in your leagues not this one.

Thanks for pointing this out, I like to breakdown numbers. Here are some facts about what you posted:

Looking at the last 10/28 games:

Against Hawks you had 2 REC but both were TD= 14 pts

Not saying you couldnt score with someone else or in another play but you defeated Hitman 33-17, take away 14 pts its 19-17

Against Sharks you had 1 REC but for a TD= 7 pts

Again not saying you couldn't of score with another play or player plus the most stupid fumble I had for a TD, I even dove on the ground to avoid the turn over and still happen its 38-24 take away 7 pts 31-24.

On both games you could of said but yeah it wouldnt made a difference but it does, because of the score I had to change my gameplan and abandon my running game and start throwing, possibly the same with Hitman, either way the scores had an effect on the game.

[Benedictine]

Agaisnt the hawks he was thrown to twice had 1 TD

My fault miss counted my count since its not lined up correctly on your post, but you get the point. You got skills man, I haven't seen anyone with manual abilities the way you have in coverage. Its like momentum doesn't affect your play at all.

On offense it does. I start to make a lot of mistakes. If I did not score after throwing that INT for a TD. It would have been a different game. The FG at the end of the half was huge. The fumble for a TD was not realistic, but was sorta the nail in the coffin.

Khan Lives requested a reset and received it. If anyone else wants it, PM me. The rules are posted and everyone was asked to read them when they posted their team AND before they joined the league.

[Benedictine]

I am fine with a reset.

However, looking at stats of other generic TEs stats vs Isom I may have had more success with a generic TE in that spot. I do not know how many receptions Isom had when lined up as a TE or as a slot Rec.

Rule reminder:

1: You can use motion running as long as the guy you motion clears the end of the line whether it is the Tackle or TE.

2: You can not hike the ball unless your guy has cleared the end of the last person on your O-Line.

Obviously, this same courtesy applies to passing, if you switch sides with a WR (either manually or flipping the play), you must allow the defense to adjust (bring the cover man to the other side of the field or reassign coverage).

HITMAN, should this be added? I have seen this in 2 recent games. Any of us could win every game if we switch WRs to the other side and snap the ball before they are covered.

Obviously, this same courtesy applies to passing, if you switch sides with a WR (either manually or flipping the play), you must allow the defense to adjust (bring the cover man to the other side of the field or reassign coverage).

HITMAN, should this be added? I have seen this in 2 recent games. Any of us could win every game if we switch WRs to the other side and snap the ball before they are covered.

Yes those should have been in my rules. I will have to up date my rules. Somehow they have been altered.

NFL2K8 headline news:

Saints on the Rise

After a shaky start and battling injuries, the Saints have won four in a row. The Saints were about to lose to the Ravens as time was running down and Baltimore was preparing for a game winning field gaol kick inside the 25 yard line. As K Matt Stover was warming up, usually sure handed WR Derrick Mason fumbled the 1st down completion. Coach T. Paterniti stated, "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good."

I think that NFC1 is incorrect. That should be Cowboys, Giants, Packers and Bears. Surprisingly, the Bears still got a shot.

The league divisions were set up in post number 64. The Bears are in the NFC2.

Perhaps my drawing is not clear... you read it from the top down... teams above the playoff line would qualify if held today.

I'm not talking about the playoffs. I'm talking about the grouping of teams in the division. Bears, Packers, Giants and Cowboys make sense. Along with Saints, Cardinals, Seahawks and Falcons. That seems more realistic to me.

[amid]

One league rule addition (common in other leagues)


Gameplay:

5. You can go for 2 points only when an NFL coach would go for it. It must make sense mathmatically (when 2 points would get you within 3 or 7, etc.) You can take the risk and go for 2 points to win the game at the end.

Feel free to post about your games (wins or losses). Include score, opponent and turning point or big play.




Here are my 4 losses:
------------------------------------------------

35 San Diego Chargers (RayStyle)
31 Baltimore Ravens

Turning point/big play: Felt like I had this won the whole game. With just 10 seconds left in the game... Rivers to Gates for the TD.

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc73/tjspeaks/1-61.jpg

-----------------------------------------------

28 New Orleans Saints (tpaterniti)
27 Baltimore Ravens

Turning point/big play: With the clock heading for under a minute left in the game, Baltimore is inside the 25 yard line down by 1 point and preparing for a game winning field goal. Completion to Derrick Mason for the first down. It's a fumble!

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc73/tjspeaks/3-1.jpg

-------------------------------------------------

20 Arizona Cardinals (Benedictine)
14 Baltimore Ravens

Turning point/big play: This game was exactly like the Baltimore vs. San Diego game. Arizona controlled the entire game, yet the opportunity was there to steal a victory at the end (same 10 seconds left). Pass to endzone, they leap... intercepted.

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc73/tjspeaks/1-63.jpg

-----------------------------------------------

26 Seattle Seahawks (NFLHITMAN)
20 Baltimore Ravens

Turning point/big play: This game seems like a long time ago. Glancing at the stats, Baltimore should have won this game. After a string of victories again the HITMAN, he has turned the tide and won several in a row.

After the loss to the Saints, Edgerinn James was quoted about his lack of carries,

"I don't know what's going on," he said. "I'm just here, just going to ride it out and get to the playoffs and, hey, that may be it right there."

I don't want to just be on a team; I like to play," he said. "If I'm not playing, it's not serving a purpose. What purpose is it serving? I don't want to feel like I'm selfish but you want to play.

"Hey, I still got years in me, I know that. I can still play some ball. I ain't worried."

Im not complaining and it HAS been two days just thought id bring it up. in my mind a wins a win and a lose is a lose so i lost. but the dolphins had a outside fade route called just think you should watch for it. it wasnt the outside wr i think but it was a pivotal point in the game so... if it wasnt bull i apoligize but it did look suspisious.

I will be on soon and I remember your stick skills and how good they were but I want you to know this before we play. I noticed in our game when you had a lot of yards rushing that it seemed your RB's charge never went away. I could be wrong but when we play and I see you make a move with your RB and your charge is still there than I know you are using a Turbo Controller. Why do I say this????? It is the first time I have ever seen somebody be able to make so many moves with there RB while there charge is still full. Once you make a move with a RB in this game your Charge will go away until you recharge them but it seemed that your RB's had a full charge no matter how many moves you made. If you are not using a Turbo Controller and just have sick stick skills I will give you your props but if you have a run with multiple moves I will be replaying it to see what your charge meter is showing.

In 2K5 you didn't have a Circle under showing your charge. In this game once you make a move while you are charged than the charge will go away until you recharge it. When someone can make multiple moves while still having a full charge leaves only 1 option.

Hitman, I think you have it backwards. I dont see how having turbo contoller will allow you to keep you fully charge, it should be the other way around. A person with a turbo controller will hardly have his man charge. He will be able to move like the wind and make ridiculous runs on coverage and on offense without being charge. The reason why is the constant tapping A button making the runner run faster and move quicker. Thats how I base it if I am facing a person with a turbo controller. You can also tell by the consistant tap of the player going down field, its tough to duplicate it every play.

I never suspected anything like that. The comparison i was making with this and 2k5 was that in 2k5 there was a overall paranoia of the turbo controller before the game died.

When we played last night and you won what did I say after? I said GG. I saw that it didn't look like you were using anything illegal but you had great stick skills with your running game. The difference between you and somebody like Funky is that you can run with a Silver RB and I am sure with a bronze and be successful out of all formations. Funky has to use the crutch of a Gold RB and run out of 3 TE bunch sets LOL. He has no moves except pressing the A Button when getting tackled to Branch tackles. You on the other hand are very elusive and have more moves than U-Haul. I have great respect of your stick skills andd your running ability but I have ZERO respect for Funky's.

Per your pre season pledge, strive to play all 16 games (win or lose).

If you are out of the playoff race, a competitive league environment is your best opportunity to improve. Run some new plays, try different defenses, find a good generic receiver, etc. Get better for next season.

The regular season is quickly winding down. The playoff race as of today:
