Playing horrible lately. You ever just go on awful cold streaks?

Can't do anything. Can't run, can't pass (it's like they made Tebow even worse in the latest updates or something. I used to never throw picks, other than once in a while when Tebow would air mail one, but now I'm throwing horribly inaccurate passes a lot more frequently, the same throws that a couple of weeks ago I could make easily.), can't stop the run for ****, dropping easy picks. Just nothing is going my way. Kind of annoying. I was at one point, almost 40 games over .500, and then I went down to 30 after a recent slump. Won like 5 in a row, and now I'm only 28 games above .500. Do you ever just go on streaks where you can't do anything or stop anyone?

Plus, I've been playing a lot of people who are running *** dand that is impossible to beat with Tebow when you have to throw the ball when you're down late in the game. Pisses me off because it's really unrealistic, but there's nothing I can do, I guess.

Yeah, I'm currently on a 4-game losing streak right now. I'm not playing well offensively. I don't think I'm great or anything, but I need to get it together.

Re: Playing horrible lately. You ever just go on awful cold streaks?

i'm on a bad streak right now. hit a 5 game winning streak, the last three being tough come from behind victories, than like 2-7 in the last 9. i've been playing pretty good its just a couple of plays that are killing. i hate when, despite user defending everything, none of my opponents mistakes are turning into turnovers. on the other hand, all my mistakes are turning into turnovers, very frustrating. in one game i score with a minute to go to take the lead. he gets the ball back, and on third down throws a pick, but i get a roughing the passer, its funny too, i was a ilb in coverage. proceeds to waste the clock and kick a game winning field goal. most soul crushing defeat in my life.

Had a bad streak, but back on track again. Winning games by making plays when they matter.

I go in occasional slumps where I'm just running my offense, without caring about what the D is doing. Its when I'm lazy. Gone back to making my pre-snap reads on every play, and calling the D out at the line, verbally when I'm alone (or in my head, if she's around so she doesn't think I'm completely nuts).

Since then, I've been back to being great.

Maybe I'll try that. Occasionally I do get careless on my pre snap reads, and I'll try running plays as quickly as possible out of frustration.

I find if I take a break for a few days, I start to play better the next time I play. Sometimes it becomes too repetitive and you start to either play laxidasical or over think everything.

Everyone gets on hot and cold streaks. One tournament I went into I had lost in the opening round of my last three tournaments, that day I won the tournament. Just keep at it, you only fail when you quit.

Completely agree with at23steelers. I also seem to come back and play better after having a day or two off. Looks like I'm going to have to do so.
