I also think it has to do with the quality of my team.
Most of the guys on my team are in the mid to late 60s.
I'm currently a 79.

I wish!!
They are terrible! It's a Blackhawks farm team...the Rockford Ice Hogs (also a neighboring town where I grew up...seen many Ice Hogs games...lots of fun!).

Really I think there are 4 guys on the team 70 or greater (one of which is me).

I wish I could request a trade or something because they are bad and even though my guy it "the best" on the team I have a hard time doing much.

Just keep at it, you'll get called up sooner or later (although it's the Blackhawks, you're in for the same scenario there ).
Either that or start a new BAP season on a diff team with your existing player.

Yeah I am on my 3rd game in the Rangers farm system (Hartford WolfPack) and am the only one to score a goal so far. ( I think I have 4)

mca47 - , good games! We need to set up a tie-breaker:) We are pretty evenly matched it seems. I am still getting used to the controls ( as you are).

Online vs. other people is really pissing me off though. I played about 4 games this weekend and both times I was winning, we "lost connection"...the times I was losing, I took the loss and not the dnf. This one fucker, I was winning by 2 goals with 5 minutes left and he asks for a mutual quit...I say no way, play it out, you never know? anyways....with .8 seconds left, I get the "disconnect".

Yeah, it was good playing with you. I must admit that when we played I was just so used to playing "Be a Pro" that I was getting all kinds of confused with the controls. I'm still not really sure how to change lines. LOL

Playing people online in sports games is always iffy. Whether it's hockey, football, baseball, etc. you will always get quitters and disconnects at the end. It's frustrating as hell that's why I usually only play those games against friends, or people I know.
I have to admit that playing online is pretty fun if there are 10 people playing and you have one position. Not as many people leave, and if one or two do they game still goes on.

it's funny you should mention that, because right before we played, I was playing BAP and was getting confused that first game. I Kept watching the same player and forgetting about controlling the guy with the puck. I got it by the second match though....If you are on tonight we do the grudge match;) Also we should pair up on the same team sometime. Game is more fun playing with someone you "know". I should be getting a headset soon as well.

btw, I got the Madden PSP last week:)

I hate the analog sticks on the PS compared to the 360. I keep losing my grip on the left one (skating)....

Yeah, I'll probably be on later.
We'll have to team up and kick some ass!
...or more likely get our asses kicked!
There are some really good people that play on there!


Congrats on the PSP. I travel a lot and it's almost always within my reach.
Since PSN has released it's video service, I've rented lots of movies to watch on my long flights. Very handy!
Have you set up remote play yet? If you have any problems getting it set up right let me know because it can be tricky depending on your router and firewalls, etc.

cool....maybe around 9:30-10:00 est

Yeah the PSP is pretty cool....I bought a couple of 8gb cards as well (one for music/one for movies) I have been converting some of my dvd's. I registered the PSP with the ps3 but have yet to remote.

it takes about 15-20 minutes depending on size and if it's off cd or hdd.

I did a shitload while on my work computer but they were an ass-hair out of sync with audio/ video
