Your throwing the wrong way!

I was playing the the Super Bowl between the Patriots and Cowboys after taking the ‘boys through an undefeated season where my top five receivers finished 1-5 in yards, TDs, and catches.

But I digress, here’s the last play of the game. I’d call this a pretty serious bug in the game AI - which I’ve noticed gets a little flaky late in games. Maybe it had something to do with the 56-3 whipping it was getting. :-)

Xbox 360 Standoff: I heard that this was shouted down because of the implied violence but it’s still a favorite around the Xbox office.

I started a new season on Madden ‘08 with the Patriots on Pro-level. First game up was the Jets. First play from scrimmage was a 66-yard pass to W. Welker. From there it just got worse for the Jets from that point on. I beat them 150-0. The Pats are fun to play with. ;-)

BTW, I run the same pass play on every play and audible the receiver routes depending on the defense.

Score by quarter: 29, 42, 29, 50 . . . That’s 150 to 0.

Brady: 32/38 (84%) for 825 yards, 17TD, 0INT, 21.7/attempt, long 80 and a 158.3 rating

Pennington: 13/39 ( 33%) for 71 yards, 0TD, 10INT, 1.8/attempt, long 15, 2.8 rating

Stallworth: 15 receptions, 519 yards, 11TD: I put Stallworth in the right-slot. It’s my favorite position to throw to because I can get a linebacker on him pretty often.

Moss: 14 receptions, 234 yards, 5TD

150 points, 825 yards of offense, 8 first downs and 7:46 time-of-possession.

0 points, 74 yards of offense, 5 first downs and 12:18 time-of-possession.

Sacks: Brady 0, Penn 7.

17 tackles for a loss out of 49 plays, roughly 1-in3 of the Jets plays went for a loss.
