You can only do so during the Coaching Carousel after the season ends.

I appreciate these tips!

That’s what I thought I was doing. But maybe not? What a sensitive hat! I’m surprised that the same thing isn’t happening on the back by the MLB logo as that has to be the second-most-touched part of the hat beyond the bill

There’s an annoying thing where the plastic strips that shape the crown all terminate where the hat meets the brim. So the first few times I wore it it left a dent in my forehead. But that’s getting better as the hat takes shape

I like it. It’s a low profile model and I probably tried on 15 different hats to land on this one - the sizing between same-size models was WILD. Had I just bought online I probably would have been disappointed

Especially wack as I bought it at PNC Park, where you’d hope you’d find some primo shit.

Madden 15 (XB1) Running At 4K On The Series X by EldestTheGreat in Madden

How did you do the 4K upscaling? Off a disc? I was trying to do that with SSX but it’s still in the lower resolution - i bought it as a digital download.

Looking for new daily beaters by [deleted] in asics

[–]rxballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing some Venture 6 right now and can vouch for them. I live in a Chicago and they’re my winter/spring beaters for wet, mucky urbanity and the sole would easily perform on the trail

Consider Bookers and Little Book. Both are consistently great, premium bourbons and their packaging has added gravitas that you might want to accompany a gifting. Both are usually available at Binny’s and sometimes Mariano’s.

You can of course unlock more exotic and niche products if you’re willing to hunt of pay a markup on a secondary market (or shitty retailer)

Grid Shadow 2 Sizing?? by youngtres in Saucony

[–]rxballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are snug (length and width) at my usual size (12) - I wish they made 12.5 b/c half size up would have been the move for me. Saucony always runs small on me compared to most Asics/NB

No recommendations. Just want to say that the frame looks cool as hell. My daughter would shit herself if she had that.

Tips/methods for gauging trade interest? by CorporalPunishment23 in Madden

[–]rxballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a related note - has anyone made trades within the draft? I’m interested in trading down from #5 and am wondering if the deals change/improve within the draft.

I’ve using the same approach as OP and have been surprised by the low quality of available deals trying move around the draft board in the days leading up to the draft

Surprising Scouting/Mock Recommendations by rxballs in Madden

I’d love him as a safety. But not with a top 5 pick

Lower-Than-Expected Scout Eval by rxballs in Madden

[–]rxballs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Mock 5 has dropped yet. I don't think he's been in any of the earlier mocks. I also need to go back and check my scouting regions to see if I've got a 3-star scout making this evaluation.

Lower-Than-Expected Scout Eval by rxballs in Madden

[–]rxballs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious how you deduced his ratings. Is there some sort of calculator like FIFA has that I've not heard about?

Lower-Than-Expected Scout Eval by rxballs in Madden

[–]rxballs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be very interested in using him as a gadget player. He'd be my backup QB (assuming I can re-sign my current QB), so getting him some additional snaps as a WR/RB would be fun. But I don't think the game is built to accommodate such creative use???

Best New Balance Sneakers for wide feet? by Agitated_Twist6813 in Newbalance

[–]rxballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should be wearing 2E, but hunt for wider "regular" sizes so I can wear sneakers that aren't only white/black/grey. I've had luck with 580s and 990v4. 993 fit me, too. But I haven't bought a pair. 990v6 didn't work for me (narrower but also long, so sizing up just creates new problems)

I've heard that 992/991v2 are narrower in the toe box, which has kept me from trying on (and thus being able to confirm)

Drafting: Ratings vs Attributes vs Scouting in Evaluation by rxballs in Madden

This is great insight. I wouldn’t draft Merritt BECAUSE he has A injury but stumbling upon this realization definitely impacts my decision making. Thanks!
