Keep track of franchise stats and update player XP over the internet. Major drawback IMO is the risk of getting disconnected from the EA server, in which case you have to restart the game (once you're re-connected to the EA servers) in order for it to progress.

Yes, and it's above average surprisingly. Rice is in the top 12 in most of the major rushing stats.

Flacco through week 10 has 15 TDs and 21 INTs. I've never finished a season with more INTs then TDs and never had a losing season. Both are possible with the way things are going.

Browns 24 (3-0) Vikings 17 (1-2)

The Browns catch a break with Peterson unable to play in the game. Still this proved to be a very tough game for the Brownies as they fell behind 10-0 in the 1st quarter. Jason Campbell and company struggled to move the ball early in the game. When they did move the ball disaster stuck. Campbell threw a couple picks and was sacked 7 times in the ball game. 3rd Down Conversions were rare for the Browns tonight.

Luckily, the defense played a good game. They only forced one turnover, however they kept the Vikings in check most of the game. Gerhart did rush for 122 yards, but 55 of those came on one play in the fourth quarter. The Browns rally down 17-7 in the fourth via a couple Beanie Wells TD's, in fact Beanie had all 3 touchdowns for the Browns and 95 yards on 20 carries in the game. Jason Campbell finished 30 of 40 for 303 yards and 2 INT's.

Next Game: Bengals (1-2) @ Browns (3-0)

Just finished season 1. The Denver Broncos defeated the Green Bay Packers to win the Super Bowl. Peyton Manning decides to retire.

I'm controlling all 32 teams but I'm focusing on my Detroit Lions. Finished 8-8 year 1. Fired Schwartz, looking towards a brighter future!

Just finished the regular season of my second season with the Colts. Went 14-2 and got the first seed in the AFC. Both losses came against Jacksonville and of course that's who I'm playing in the divisional round, should be a good one.

Moved the Browns to 5-0. Beat the Bengals 27-13 and the Bills 34-31 in OT. Weeded broke his collar bone vs the Bills. We kicked a FG at the end of regulation to send the game to OT and then another one in the last minute of OT to win.

Before the Bills game I signed Barner for a change of pace. Also cut my kicker Graham who missed several kicks and picked up a kid with a strong leg out of WMU.

The Lions are up next.

Just finished the first regular season with the Ravens. After starting 2-5 I was able to finish 10-6 and get the division title. Here are some stats:

Flacco finished with 3,546 yards, 32 TDs, 30 INTs, 68%
Rice finished with 1,684 yards on 284 att with 16 TDs and a long of 83.
T. Smith finished with 76 rec 880 yards and 9 TDs

MVP: Peyton Manning with 4,717 yards, 41 TDs, 11 INTs, 73%
CotY: Chad Masters, Pats went 13-3

Going up against the Steelers in the Wild Card, already beat them twice. Also, that is the craziest TD/INT ratio I have ever had. Would have been worse but I had some 5/0 games toward the end. Hopefully I can keep it under control.
