It was Bure for me. Speed and shots. Back when EA allowed breakaways.

Mario was rated 100 in '94. But Bure, Mogilny and Selanne were right up there.

I'd like to upgrade at QB, RB, TE and Def but I don't want to give up much in return.

Interested?

Your upgrades are only needed for depth, your team is fine

I was joking with him. However I have only 1 player I wouldn't trade for the right return.

I wouldnt go that far....with all the games Austin missed last season to hamstring issues, I wouldnt be too excited about him starting the season with the same issues again. It is also only a matter of when as to Darren Mcfadden getting hurt. Id also be worried about Witten and the spleen laceration.

Guys will get hurt, but if Ive learned anything in my years of doing this it is that nothing will decimate a good roster faster than injuries. Some you cant control, but I avoid guys with lingering problems like the plague.

I need to go get gas for the boat, think about how good Eli is and how good Miles will be and we'll talk again later.

Id rather have Lloyd being the feature WR for Brady than hamstrung Austin for Romo. Eli vs Newton is in the eye of the beholder, I could make a case for either but see bigger upside with Newton. Eli is like Ben, you know exactly what you are going to get(and similar to both I already have Matt Ryan). RG3 is my wildcard. If he has a season like Newton did last year, I could have some serious trade bait at QB.

I actually very much liked your strategy of Gronk and Graham.
Side question:How will Walt get 5mil for each Jesse and Mike and simultaneously keep the methlamene?

Neuvirth lost his noodle or he is going to be a great leader. Just don't know if he has the clout to call people OV in particular out like that. Let's hope it plays out poorly.

p.s. I auto drafted a championship team. Just need to flip one of my WR's for a descent rb to pair with Foster.

I remember Pavel Bure in the '94 game (I think)... amazing.
- rival22



we played NHL 94 all the time in the dorm. Ulf Dahlen, Mike Modano, and Neil Broten is one of the lines I remember.

I might have to break down and get NHL13 and retire NHL11...you know...for my kids.

On one hand I'm like wow this guy has huge balls but on the other I'm like he really hasn't earned the ability to call people out as far as I know.

That was us too... If I have my game years right, that was when the four player adapter thing came out for Sega too. We had tournaments (room vs room), and some epic late night battles in the dorm.

I don't think he has played enough to call guys out like that. Think it was skewed in translation maybe.

Wish I didnt procrastinate and got in on the football. Oh well.

That is correct. The adapter came out that year. Sega was THE platform to have. We did the same things. Blind drawing for your team. One line. No line changes. Good times. And it wasn't like there was much to do during the winter at SRU back in those days.
