    Anyone see the highlights for Jamal Lewis today?

    30 att for 295yds... many of them breaking 4 or 5 tackles on the way.

    And who said this game isn't realistic? :laugh:

    Yeh, maybe for him, but some of the other runningbacks arent power ones and they still can break like 5 tackles.

    Any NFL running back can break an arm tackle. Most of the broken tackles in NFL2k4 are one armed type of tackles, but if a defender hits you squarely they typically wrap you up (in the game and in the NFL).

    But still, not like I dont like this, but Michael Bennet can break a ton of tackles, even square ones, and he is more of a finesse runner.

    In my case Thomas is a bull, aside from playing Babolat my running game is good. Even Kordell can run for me.

    295 may be realistic but 687 sure as hell isnt. The game is still awesome, it's just funny sometimes.

    Yeah, some of the scores I'm seeing and yardage being put up are way out of hand.

    All I can say is that is has to be a lack of defense (not the ability of the players, but the ability of the manager/owner).

    The games that I've had which were low scoring and low yardage/close games against good opponents, we both played good defense and held each other in check.

    i played a great 20-10 game with xinvisible, as the Jets vs Patriots... lots of good defense both ways...

    in contrast to my 350 yard rushing games (with no passes thrown!) with the Ravens!

    It was a really wierd game. His safety and olb were injured at the start so im not sure how much that mattered. His DL was basically just moving out of the way and creating a 3 yard hole for me to run through, then it was one on one with the safety and we all know what happens at that point. I also wasnt able to stop his passing game even with 3-4 guys on harrison so it went both ways.

    Yes, I hate Harrison, did you see that catch he made yesterday against the Titans???? He is good, that has to be one of the best duos in football today.

    How did you have negative passing yards? Lots of sacks against or something? Too bad you aren't playing with Arizona in the regular season, I'd like to play you twice this season. :twisted:

    Hopefully Skater will fair better with them (he seems to be doing just fine based on some of his exh. scores).
