The Horde needs to keep winning. I am tired of getting beat by them.

Nice game Chicago. I revamped a lot of our defensive AI for this match-up. Looks like I should have spent more time on the offensive AI We made too many mistakes and you guys did a great job of taking advantage. Good game and good luck at least unless you play HIB.

GG Ewoks. A battle down to the end. I'm just happy to be in the west's final 4 for the 2nd year in a row .

Fantastic job by the Ewoks slowing down our offense. Hopefully no-one learns anything from them .


haha well Tyante is a GM on my team so I had to go with the friend.

Will do our best to oblige HI has not been a good matchup for us in the past, even though it did take a heroic 4th quarter comeback last year to beat us in the playoffs.

I'm hoping for a score similar to week 15. Even though I know there's like a 1% chance of that happening.

I really wish all the tough teams could move on and give us a chance at winning something here...

Good game HI. I was worried you were going to improve to 4-0 against us, but we finally got the best of you guys.

Looks like INTs killed the Bugs today...Horde really went wild. Makes me feel a little better to see the Bugs get squashed like that though, misery loves company

Looks like Mentone settled for the FG on 4th down with 2:43 seconds left. I guesse thats still alot of time but I probably would have went for it, but HEY! my team cant even get out of the first round so ya, ill shutup now.

Whats upsetting is that either Horde or Chicago wont be here for us to get back on next season. But dont go too far cuz we will be right behind ya

Yeah, the INTs helped, but I think we also moved the chains well. Just everything went our way in that one.

It's tough to get your AI settings perfect. You can spend a lot of time, but the format means that you have to specify each and every case individually, and it can be tough to specify every case. For example, as there is less and less time left, you're more and more likely to go for it. So where you might kick the field goal on 4th and 5 with 3 minutes left, you'd go for it with 2 minutes left. How many cases are you going to specify? But that's no excuse for kicking the FG on 4th and 1 down by 7. That one you have to go for.

Anyhow, you guys went to the conference title last season, so I don't think you should hang your head. This is a tough division, 5 really good teams this season, probably only 4 next year, so it should be a little easier to get to round 2, at least.

Yea we know we did it to ourselves dropping that game to LLLL, but it looks like that game propelled them forward as they won again today. Wow. Great job by them. We still feel it was a game that shouldn't even have been close, but I take the blame for that, and for putting us in the 5 spot.
Offseasons comming, we will straighten some things out and come back on a tear next season. Ugh. I hate saying that.


And SanMan yea, I figured something went wrong but that AI is a bitch. Like Powell said, how specific do ya really wanna get? Me? Im not goin crazy on that crap. We think simple is better. Down/Distance WR# pop a couple situations up there and were set. I havent been able to hire anyone to renovate it haha

The previous drive we ran on 4th and 0.5 on the opp 2, but not on 4th and 1 on the opp 3 WTF!!!!

I am still furious over that bullshit. I would have really liked to have tried that game in OT!!!

Chicago, thank GLB for that wacky ass crap and definitely thank your boy Chad Hill for being faster than shit and making that great tackle.

GL in the Championship

Wow. That is really disappointing. I don't understand how you could screw that up (and by you, I mean Bort). It's not exactly a very bug-prone approach that he's using. But I noticed there was another problem (may or may not be fixed by now), where if you have settings to go for it on 4th down (not really sure which ones), it would go for it on 4th and goal, regardless of the yardage, which is extremely annoying if you want to go for it on 4th and 1ish inside the 10 (but not 4th and goal from the 7!).
