Post your match reviews of any you've played online, in Franchise or in the Superstar mode...

Superstar Game -
I made myself (Lee Matthews, number 36 of course) and something to do with my dad bein an ex QB means im now a QB...

I was drafted into the Cowboys, but i hate the Cowboys so forced my agent to move me and i was then with the Buccs. but im afraid of pirates so i got another trade and im now with the Lions...

im the 1st choice QB andhave just finished my first ever game. It was against the mighty seahawks. The game strated with them recieveing and within their first play they had an interception... then their second offense also got an intecerception.

It was 14 and 0 and the end of the first quarter... but a stupid fumble by me when i was yards from the end zone (greedy) meant the game at half time was 17-14 (FG by us kept us in the lead)

they then came out strong and despite a huge 70yd pass TD we ended up losing in the last 2 minutes 34 to 31...

considering though i now have a rating of 129... and my first ever game saw me take away 354 yards.... not bad

who else likes the one man show that is superstar... I think its aweosme brings a whole new feeling to the game.... I mean its just aweosme watching the ball and then the WR once he catches it...

anyone else done Superstar?

Online Game -
2 nights ago I was online with Alkalie and he was the colts i was of course illy and he managed to whoop me 28 and 7

so last night there was a roster update and he decided to switch back to his old team the Falcons.

The game started like the other game, I did terrible, he managed to force a fumble one turnover on downs (i dont do punts often unless its over 10yds left ) and an int and by the middle of the 2nd he was 22 and 0... well i was cheesed off of course... I was losin faith in my Eagles.... I also managed to hit the bleeding bar in a failed field goal attempt right before the end of the half

once the 3rd started I remembered that even tho he had beaten me in the last game he never seems to be able to score in the last 2 quarters (i mean i doesnt happen everytime, but it has happened a few times now hasnt it Alkalie)

so I went in with a lil more confidence.... the game started i was recieveing and low and behold I got a touchdown in the 3rd to make it 22 and 7

he went on the offense and my D suddenly started playing well we turned him over on his own 10 yd line (he was inches and tried to run it, me and him play excatly the same hence why games are always close :p) and of course Nabb quickly made it 14 and 21 with a 7yd pass TD.

Again he was on O and again i Managed to force a trunover or failed field goal i forget.... and on came the Eagles O and with 2 mins remaining he knew id score in my current form so he kinda of tried to let me (although even thats hard) and with 30 seconds left i scored.

so 28 and 21 and he tried to to kick recieve TD and he somehow managed to get to the 50... and with 1 second left he TO'd took one last play and tried to run with Vick but sadly Vick (or the RB i forget again) didnt make it more than 2 yards and end of the game

another 2nd half shut out and a game which i thought id lost goes to me... but yeah the previous game he whooloped me and our games always seem to game back and forth... I whoop he whoops... I win by 2 he then wins by 2... very close games :D

I'm playing SS Mode as a Tight End, was drafted by the Bears.

I've done quite well, almost every pass thrown my way is caught, and I usually take it for a big gain. I've caught two game winning Hail Marys, not bad. The only thing I HATE is how unrealistically BAD the Bears D is We've given up 40 Points in every game played.

I'm doing a SS Mode and I'm a WR, and got drafted by the Browns.

My dad was a Hall of Fame WR, so I was 85 overall before I'd even played in games. After 2 seasons, I'm rated 99 and one of the best in the league. w00t!

The online lag from the UK is awful , it's like playing it in slow motion.

Do all UK users have the same problem ?

whoop after two terrible losses my Lions are on a 5 match winning streak...

we were 0 and 2 and had a tough match against the Rams

with 30 seconds left they had just sneaked ahead 42 and 40 ... we were on their 40 (Im the QB in superstar) I was thinking of passing and thought f**k it ill run it, got a 1st down and we kicked it for a 43 and 42 win... bleedin close

we then proceeded to beat the Vikings, Jets and Bills

5 and 2, second in the division (behind Vikings whos only loss is against me) and im still the 1st string QB

My QB sucks!

he just lost us our last gam by playing an ineffective running play constantly i got one recieve the whole game for 11 yards yet still got an email after saying well done :D and i think in total we must have run about 4-5 passing plays the whole game :(

dipstick!

currently 1-2 after a 13-10 loss to the Raiders :(

I just started a new SS as a HB/RB and again I was drafted to the Cowgirls... so I demand a trade and I end up with the 49ers... so I trade a final time and Im now a Jag...

First game I did terrible, every time I was given a hand-off someone from the D would get through and hit me before I got goin... only managed 17 yards (althought we did win in OT 46 - 39 against the Cowgirls)

next game against the seahawks I managed to get a 31 yd TD... and a 44yd kick off return (wasn't meant to return it but I bashed the reciever out the way and took it myself :D) we completly obliterated them 34 - 7 with me getting 20 odd yards in the air and 59 on the ground...

but its tough the HB position....

I don't get this, when you make yourself do you only controll him? aka fixed mode on PES where you go 1 player..

Or do you just play normally but if you give him touchdowns etc he gets better?

In SuperStar (SS) mode you ONLY control your custome player

Im a HB, Number 47 for the Jags and I only control him... when were on Defense the game speeds up a little bit as my player isnt on D so wont be playin for a bit... once it gets back on O you then take control of your character...

you control where that player runs or in the case of the QB where he throws... you cannot control anyone else... it makes it a lot better as the camera zooms in closer to your player so you dont see tackles coming from behind just like in a real game... also if youre the QB you will gte sacked more often as you wont see the defenders in fron of you aswell...

Sounds brilliant, I would rather be a defender (dunno the NFL terms :D) though so I can mow everyone down, I might try and grab this game cheapn on Friday :)
