Where I talk about the Bulldawgs second Pre-Season game, palour voices,
and John Green {who I’m starting to mention in every blog title}
I think I’m going
to do a blog entry each Monday after playing a game on Madden on Sundays. Stop
by here on Mondays and maybe I have something to update you with. Like how much
I suck at defense on these games.
Ravens-13 Vs. Bulldawgs-42
The second game of
the pre-season was played on All-Pro level. It was harder than the last game
but I’m hoping when I move to All-Madden for the last two pre-season games and
the franchise it will step up even more.
I say that now.
After about six loses in a row I’ll want to quit and play MLB The Show or
something else.
Madden 11 seems to
move a little quicker or smoother than Madden 08. It seems to greatly favor
running the football too, which is ok to me. My offensive philosophy is
basically use three running backs to attack the defense, pass to tightends and
running backs. Then open up things with bombs down the field from time to time
and keep everything else in chaos by using the quarterback’s ability to run.
That’s why my
N.F.L. all time leading receiver is a TE{Greg Olsen} and the all time rushing
leader is a QB{Vince Young}
And that leads me
to Mr. Tebow who was the highlight again for my team but my offense is pretty
weak and unstructured right now. I’m scoring but if I keep scoring like this he’s
going to get injured.
My defense is
playing really good but defensive players and philosophies on Madden are only
truly tested on All-Madden level. My defensive philosophy is aggressive blitzes
from random players and going for turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. If I’m not
getting sack and turnovers I’m in trouble as a defense.
The next two games
are the true tests for what kind of season I might be facing.
I need to get the
ball to Olsen more and need to see if Tebow can throw. Not that I’ve ever been
able to play very well with left handed Quarterbacks on Madden. I think right
now Dodge or McCown will end up getting the start with me using Tebow as a
package QB. That’s what I usually do to get young quarterbacks playing time and
pushing up their ratings so I have a good backup.
All positions are
up for grabs so things will get more interesting with the rest of preseason. I
still have no idea who will be starting at any position and that’s one of the
things that already making this a lot of fun.

{The only problem I’ve seen with Dodge so far is even though he is the highest
rated QB I have on the Bulldawgs, he’s pretty slow and I wonder if he will work
within my offense?}

There are 7 teams
with a 2-0 record so far competing for the All-Player Challenge{the pre-season}
Someone asked me a few posts back what is the reward I mentioned for teams who
win the pre-season.
Basically in my
N.F.L. if you finish with the worst record in the league your team is replaced
using the relocation function. I do it sort of like how Soccer leagues like the
EPL do with teams going down and up leagues.
It’s how by the end
of a franchise mode on a game almost all the original N.F.L. teams have been
replaced. There are rules though. You can’t be replaced during a franchise if
within said franchise you win the Superbowl, the All-Player Challenge, or finish
the regular season without losing a game.

Pre-Season games for the Richmond Bulldawgs:
