Knowing my luck I've changed it to All-Madden mode.
But seriously, I throw to an open receiver, by open I mean no-one near him for at least 10 yards, and then zip, somebody jumps in and intercepts it, yet, when I pass to a receiver with 3 seconds left on the clock, who is surrounded by three opposing players, the ball sneaks through a hole, he catches it, and I score a 70 yard touchdown pass.
Needless to say, I saved that replay.
I'll probably do better if I stop playing the Colts, Eagles, Patriots and Panthers.
I'll start with the Browns.
:-(
There's something wrong with my Gamecube meaning that the majority of my games crash, and I have't gotten around to fixing it/getting a new one.
This means that Franchise mode crashes when I play it. In fact, most modes crash.
The mini camp modes crash, so does tournament, and the 101 Training bit.
Quick game is about the only part I can enjoy.
I'll be testing the copy at my mates house next week though.
I only have one mate with a GC to try it on, but he lives in a different town from me, and transport isn't all that easy.
That and the fact that almost all of my games crash, and I keep them in perfect condition means that I can't play most games without it crashing.
It deeply upsets me, but then I remember that I'm having so much fun in Madden and I've only played 10% of it.
EDIT:[Well most of the time, I need to make sure I exit and let it Autosave every so often, as it (being Minicamp) crashes every so often still. I need to send my GC off to get fixed, but I can't be bothered not playing any game :-( )
I've played a few of the mini-camp drills and situations, though, rather than working on all of them, I'm working on them one by one trying to get gold up to All-Madden level.
SO far the only All_Madden golds I've got are Chase and Tackle and Clutch Kicking.
I haven't actually tried all madden for anything though.
Currently struggling a bit getting Gold on teh Trench Fighting drills.
As for Football 101, I tried out a few passing plays, I understand them a bit more, although often I don't use the Primary Receiver routes as they're well guarded, and otehr players are well open.
I played Washington last night, I tried playing someone else in the eraly hours of the morning, but couldn't complete a quarter, so I went to bed.
I started off well against Washington, an interception against them returned for a touchdown in the first minute, and a forced a fumble with a punt for turnovers.
A few screwups though, they punted it to me, and my receiver ran away from where the ball should be going. I signalled for a fair catch, but didn't get back in time and missed it, so they scored a TD.
Also, I managed to punt it out at their 3 yard line or so, and so I blitzed them aiming for a Safety, but the QB got a pass off quickly and the receiever took it up to about my 30 yard line where they later scored a touchdown.
Not bad for me though, final score 42-28 (to me)
139 rushing yards
41 receiving yards
4 touchdowns
41 points he would have earned.
