Re: luke jones

I'm pretty sure he's a(nother) RB bust. Check my draft chart for English 2012 if you want my official answer.

Yeah he is a major bust. Probably the biggest running back bust in all of the English drafts up to that year. I forget why he is a bust but all I remember is the Browns drafted with the #5 pick and cut him the following year.

Re: luke jones

yeah well now i need a good #2 RB, so is there any good RB's in the upcoming draft?

[ebongreen]

Re: luke jones

I believe this will help.

Re: luke jones

Ok so Luke Jones has

Spoiler

an 81 Balanced potential and he is a knucklehead according to ebongreen

The best balanced back would be the one out of New Mexico State. He has a 90 Balanced potential and is compared to Frank Gore with +++ Upside, ++ Juke, and + Quickness.

Another good one is out of Eastern Kentucky. He has an 89 balanced potential and is compared to Willis McGahee with +++ Vision, ++ Explosiveness, and + Learning.

The English path is very sparse on Pro Bowl Hbs the first 4 year, hope you don't miss out on Leron James.

Re: luke jones

Regarding the amazing Luke Jones, he has 54 for injury, 41 for toughness, and 54 for stamina. However, he was able to play 75 downs in a game against me and did not get injured. I have LeRon James who ran a kick back 25 yards and 1 running play for 6 yards and I had to take him out because his Fatigue was 24%

LeRon James has 95 for stamina.

Tarver played 6 downs and I had to take him out because his Fatigue was below 35% Sooo, I began to wonder what is going on here. I then decided to throw the game and see how the Bears would do on downs played. I watched with great interest as Luke Jones ran play after play, even made a few catches--no drops!--and regardless of the OTCH, he had over 45 running attempts aside from a few catches. The CPU will do whatever and results in a serious lack of realism and true spirit of the game of football.

Luke Jones Is A True "Stinker."
The Best Advice You Can Follow Is From Ebongreen's Thread Which Identifies That Whole Jack English-Leron James Draft Path. Good Information That Will Help You Survive With Decent RB's If You Can't Hold On To Leron James. There Will Be Better RB's Down The Road In That Career Path But His List Will Give You Some That Can Get You Production Year To Year, Even If You Have To Grab A Couple Of New Ones Every Year A La Real Life NFL Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers.

Luke Jones may be "stinker", but he can turn a 54 stamina rating into 75 downs played a game!

Ebongreen's advice is most likely based on his experiences. I know he wrote very enthusiastically about Karron Cousins. In my Career, Cousins isn't doing nearly as well as Ebongreen would have you believe, and the same can be said of Jamelle Lucas and QuSean Mack. I mean, they aren't bad, but they do drop passes and seem to have a difficult time getting open. It doesn't matter who is covering them.

Seriously, I can't take this game seriously.

Re: luke jones

Whoaaaaaaa, Wait A Minute Now Pardner', Don't Talk Down On Ebongreen Cause' That's My Dude And He Has Done More For This Forum Than Most.

I Have Had Much Success With The Players You Have Listed And Had A Fun And Creative Career In The English Path Too. Strategic Planning Is The Key WWhile Knowing Players, Draft Picks, Free Agency, Coaches, Coaching, And Matching Up Skillfull Players With Like Skillfull Players.

I Waited A Longtime For A Game Like This And A Forum Like This. I Am A Strategy Guy And Have Coached Football (High School And Middle School) For Years And This Game I Find Enjoyable.

Strtegically Frustrated People Usually Gravitate To Madden, As For Me I Will Continue On The Ozzie Jones Path And Enjoy It As Much As I Enjoyed The Sweetney, And English Paths.

Re: luke jones

The great thing about this game is that even with the "best" team sheet, if you don't know how to pick the right plays and set your support structure (Coach skills, game plan, play knowledge, depth chart etc.) you will still fail.

Re: luke jones

Am I to believe you guys think this game is any more realistic than recent Madden football games?

You guys think a game that allows a player with 54 rating for stamina to play 75 downs is realistic?

Are you guys blaming me or my Patriot coaches for why my receivers drop passes?

Why has karron Cousins gone from a potential of 94 to 91? I assume it's because he drops passes. Why does he drop passes? The AI decides the why for you and CPU--you or your receivers have no control over dropped passes, which is why CPU players with low ratings can do better than my guys regarding drops. Attributes have very littlle, if anything, to do with this game--look at Luke Jones, and read what Claystone said about the offensive line.
