Do you feel every down counts ?

[Cpre5]

I agree Ive had most of my games be close games, I just lost the the Bengals 23-17 in OT.

49ers vs

Chi 18-13 W
Ram 23-31 L
Clv 39-10 W
Min 44-48 L
Det 27-20 W
Sea 21-13 W
TB 38-31 W
Ari 20-17 W
Ram 15-34 L
Pit 32-10 W
GB 14-26 L was closer till I gave up a stupid run
Bal 15-24 L
Ari 13-10 W
Cin 17-23 L OT

I love that fact that big time players make big plays, and if you dont have them, you wont be making them. "come back soon Owens"

madden was WAY too easy, I had 4 players up for MVP one time and Randy Moss always put up 3000-4000 yards every year and was 3 time MVP (i have only played 3 season)

also he averaged 40 YPC

I know exactly what you're saying,I spend 1st and 2nd down,just trying to put myself in position for 3rd and short,and if I don't convert,I always punt,never did it in Madden.

I tend to feel like I have to try my *** off on every down and I end up having great games. In Madden I felt like I had to slack off once in awhile to get a good game in. If the game was close, I always felt in control. Even with good sliders, I just didn't have that much fun. In ESPN I feel that every play counts. This is tough to explain... Anyone know what I'm sayin?

Check out my scores from my dynasty so far.

I know what you're talking about. I remember I told a Madden fan at work I lost my very first game of ESPN (I started on All Pro first) and he told me I should've turn it off so I wouldn't lose.

I went into overtime with the Vikings and won 41 to 35. I was up 14 to 7 with under a minute left in the first half and Daunte Culpepper threw a bomb to Randy Moss for a TD right before the half to tie the score. Then in the second half I ran to control the clock and figured all I had to do was stop a couple of plays to win. I score to go up 35 to 28 with 20 seconds left in regulation. I kick the ball and their kick returner took it all the way back to tie the score and send the game into overtime. I won the toss and run the ball only throwing the ball to get first downs when needed and ended up winning 41 to 35. I had close games but that was the closet. I think if I loss that coin toss I might have lost that game.
