Madden NFL 08: Super Bowl XLII-∞

[sarcasticface]

I cancelled my Cowboys franchise due to boredom. In this franchise I will sim the entire season only taking control of the Patriots (because I have to control at least 1 team). I will sim the Preseason and look at the results before advancing. After that, I will sim every 4 weeks and look at rosters, scores, players, etc. The only game I will play is the Super Bowl. I tested this out a couple days ago, and the Rams vs Colts was the first 5 Super Bowls (Rams won every single time). Let’s see if we can get different results this time. I will use calhoupe’s scripts only for the Windowed Mode (otherwise my computer will randomly shut down). I will also use all Madden generated “things”, like Free Agent Signing (will let CPU do this) and Drafting (also CPU). No mods will be used, except for pick6’s TrueTurf mod for the Out-Of-Bounds/Sideline “fix”. This time, I will also take screenshots. First season kicks off in a couple hours. Thanks for reading and enjoy the show!

Nothing with computers is random. If you're having unexpected shutdowns, some of your hardware may be overheating. The next time you run Madden or another game, you may want to use a program like HWMonitor or Speccy to monitor your temperatures. Additionally, you may want to check the CPU heat sink to make sure it's correctly situated, as well as clean the dust out of any fans and make sure they're all working correctly. If a computer shuts off like that, I find it tends to be either the CPU heat sink or the power supply.

Anyway, I'll be reading.

Are you planning on letting the CPU draft for your team as well? If so, quoting Bette Davis, "Hang on boys, its going to be a bumpy ride".

Yep, CPU do everything.

So, about this. I'm actually going to just "replay" the Super Bowls from XLII-LII (maybe LIII). Using the right mods when the right game comes. First game in a couple weeks.
