This thread has been linked to the game 'Madden NFL 2005'.
If you don't buy this game then you are stupid/poor. It is clearly the best game on the Gamecube. That is all.

Yeah, from 19:00 CET, which is Midnight here, I think.
Can you completely change your team every week?

You could sell it always. You can choose your team tomorrow, don't worry.
Rrrr.
When can I start making a Fantasy Footie team?
And also, I hope I don't win the grand prize, that'd suck, as it'd have to go to my parent/legal guardian.

Honestly though, chase and tackle you can even do with your quaterback its so easy. The hole opens up so quickly its just ridiculous.
I've always loved the Ground Attack training drill.
In Madden 2004 I breezed through it every time. Now I breeze through all levels every time except All-Madden, which I scrape through. I probably wouldn't if I wasn't controlling the J-Lewis machine. Who is incredible.

I always have a problem with the drills, I'm not sure whether to put in a god player and get his stats closer to perfect, because the drill will be easier the better the player is, or whether to choose someone average and run the risk of only being able to get 1 point. Do I want to make my best guys get better, or bring everyone closer to the same level. Usually I go for a mixture between the two, putting my best players on the hardest drills (like the passing ones) and my worst on the easiest (chase and tackle - please!)

I already know I'm getting better.
Because it keeps crashing (which sucks), it means I am able to try the drills over and over with one player, so with the first throwing one, I've gone up from barely getting 200 to getting silver most of the time.

Keep going with Madden. The key to being good is just practise, as you learn everything over time. Playcalling, seeing holes and making runs and knowing when to throw to your receiver are things that you learn the more you play, which is nice.

It doesn't confuse me anymore, it was just that I didn't know if I had to tap or hold them, so I tended to tap, as most games are like that. As for picking my own plays, I do tend to, unless it's 4th down, then I just let them pick punt return for me, as it's quicker.

I watched the first quarter of the first quarter, (I was playing pool at the time though, so it got distracting, plus, the volume wouldn't work).

I usually go up a bit in the first half, lose it all in the 3rd quarter, then get ahead again in the 4th.
Damn me.

It won't let me pick people.
Damn transfers lockedness.

Tiburon don't make football games.
It's not really that confusing having different buttons for sprint seeing as you offense and defense are so separate. Maybe you should move the game down to rookie until you get a good understanding of defenses (i.e. learn to choose your own defense and not just ask madden) and offensive drives.
I'm just like the real Eagles (did anyone see their game last night?), I just collapse in the 4th quater because I'm already winning by around 25 points and so all I have to do is stop the other team scoring too many times. I do have a tendency to try and throw HUGE long passes when I have the lead though, so McNabb often ends up with 8 of 30 for passes or something. It's a bit ridiculous really, but, hey, the score's 28-3, I can afford to try something ambitious.
Ha I made a killing on my fantasy team. McNabb and Owens got double points as they scored the first and last touchdowns in the Sky game, and Curtis Martin got 100+ yards, the first touchdown in the other Sky game, and Jeremy Shockey got a TD. The only mistakes I made were to choose John Kasay and not David Akers for my kicker and I chose the philly defense instead of the jets (they got 4 turnouvers and 4 sacks!)
