We've been seeing more and more guys on a few of our Madden Facebook pages complaining about losses.  Complaints like opponents using limited plays, unstoppable fade routes, running up the score, key players hurt and anything else you can think of to explain their loss.  Keep in mind, these guys aren't breaking any league rules but just out playing their opponent.  It usually ends with something like "Gg, ya only won because ......(insert excuse here)".  It's one thing to be satirical but many are serious.  Just accept it, you lost!  The solution?  Step your game up and get in the lab (terminology used for one-on-one training on your weak spots).

We've been joining more talented leagues lately and find ourselves mired down by our mediocre game play.  What was once considered playoff caliber play calling and execution is now little more than an 8-8 season.  We don't complain or make excuses but take it on the chin and say Gg.  We haven't done any lab work in awhile and it's definitely beginning to show.  We're going to rededicate ourselves to at least one lab day per week to get back to our playoff caliber status.  What with us exploring new leagues weekly, we're going to need it. Funny thing, we run Madden on PS3 and XBOX360 and always make the post season on the 360.  Not saying anything, just stating a fact, lol.  Anyway, to all the guys that still feel they were unfairly beaten, remember this golden rule...."Madden 101 - There's always someone better" 

These leagues/ clans have been battled tested by the members of this site and are highly recommendable to any and all who are interested in joining a legit league/ clan.

Well, we've rated the leagues that we've joined over the past week (May 14 - 20) and this one is at the forefront.  We gave it an A rank and it comes as no surprise.  Backed with a robust Facebook page, website and weekly radio show, it's no wonder why these guys are on top.  When ranking leagues, we never show favoritism.  We like to keep politics off our site and just bring gamers enjoyable leagues to join.  While we are friends with a few of the guys in this league, we've also had our differences too.  Still, it comes down to enjoyable game play and that's why they've received the grade they did.  These guys may seem like the new kids on the block to some but trust us, they've been around for awhile.  It's just Team G4R's way of bringing new leagues to the limelight.  

As a rule, every new league comes in at around a C average because we don't know anything about them yet.  But as time goes by and we feel them out, their grade either improves or drops.  We don't rate them on whether we win or lose (believe us, we're not the greatest players) but on how efficient the league is run.  For a list of our criteria, click here!

It's time for Team G4R to step into the Hi-def realm of recording.  We have all the components in place such as a hi-def capture device, hi-def TV, cables and so on but have yet to pull it off.  Honestly, we haven't put much effort into the process other than plug and play.  The result?  A recording around 480.  We've tinkered around with the settings but really haven't had to time to fine tune it.  Somehow, it manages to always reset itself back to the 480 setting.  In our defense though we've been busier than usual what with the extra leagues we're trying out and bi-weekly site updates.  The minute we log on nightly to try and get in a league game or two, we're inundated with constant requests to join new ones.  We may set aside a week of joining new leagues just to hone this capture device.  I think we'll all be rewarded for it in the long run.  - Team G4R
