I agree with Mays...has been a top star for me that I user about 40% of the time. More picks and plays made than any other card. Other guys have their moments, but Mays is consistently good, rarely gets beat and does well whether I'm usering or switching to him.

Mays is awesome, make plays with him every game both as user and as CPU switch, never a dull moment.

Except there's already a rule - aka has to have a card of some kind already out there, so it's not carte blanche freedom of choice. Not hard to put a few more restrictions to make the GTs more viable and varied (especially if going forward everyone's going to have a chance to get 1 or 2 of them via challenges). Though I got a chuckle out of your literacy test comment. There are many people out there that aren't nearly as creative as they think they are, so this would at least ensure some "rails" to keep them thinking within certain guides. Beyond that, they do have freedom of choice.

Wish there were some rules with Golden Tickets, like you can't have 12 QBs, maybe a max of 2 per position regardless of what people want, don't need 20 GTs that consist of QB, WR, HB. Would also be nice if there was a balance between OFF/DEF (i.e. - if you're going to allow 20 GTs, 10 should be OFF, 10 should be DEF). Also, max of 2 GT per team, since that will ensure at least 10 of the NFL teams are represented...beyond that, do what you want even if it's stupid.

I run it out of Singleback and love it...sparingly, however I never thought of the DDA aspect, all I know is it pisses me off when I'm basically doing a three step drop and passing the ball and yet somehow there's an O lineman giving you the downfield penalty. There should be zero chance of that. However it does work well depending on what they're doing on D

This...except for some of the ancient players they use (not hating on them, but b/w is b/w), anyone from the 80s on should have enough pix available to pull from. If you have licensing with the NFL, you should be able to get all the pix you want. One from each team they played for is not too much to ask. Though it's entertaining to have a few odd pix. I love the pic of Olindo Mare after a missed kick holding his helmet.

Two friends and I ended up watching the Rams vs Titans superbowl in Vegas with Charles Barkley and Bobby Jones (Bobby has a gospel program on BET)...hard to believe that was 20 years ago doh! That was a great game.

I use Brady as well and enjoy pocket passing. Whenever I'm getting blitzed, I just start switching to quick routes that are basically like two step drop type plays. I usually only get caught by that all out blitz a couple times before I adjust and force them to switch because they can't user all the routes available for the quick pass. Occasionally something crazy happens, but if the game has the look of shennanigans, I just quit and start a new one. To be fair, the number of ridiculous games have been relatively few, but they happen. Haven't run across furiousxm, but hope to see what he's like.

Play a game or two of H2H early AM on Sat/Sun while the wife is sleeping in! : p I think I've logged about 500 H2H games this year so far, there have been a handful of exceptions where I get to play for a few hours, but usually I'm fitting in what I can do. All I'm saying is my time is limited and yet I don't feel like it's too much of a grind to go NMS.

For me, GT Mays and surprisingly Quinton Dunbar (Mays usering, lurking etc...Dunbar switching to DB) I'm always amazed how Dunbar seems to outperform. Have about a 35 Seahawks squad though so reasonable Hawks bonuses that add in.
