South Korea holds off China to win its 10th straight gold in women’s team archery.
Came down to a shoot-off. Fun.
And again, Gold Zone on Peacock is awesome to see tons of sports and basically all medal moments.
Getting better after a few games a day this week.
RPOs were really pissing me off at first until I did a bit of practice and realized the actual RPO play call (alert vs read vs peek, etc) is really important to the mechanic. Most of them are a one-read quick pass or a handoff where it hands off if you don’t throw it quick. But if it’s a slower developing multi-route RPO, that’s when you can press A (Xbox) to pull the ball back from the RB and then throw it to receiver.
Defense is tough and my biggest complaint is player switching. Haven’t played this game or really any Madden since 2012 probably, but it used to be where when you hit the switch player button on D it almost always put you to the player you were expecting it to, most often the player closest to the ball. Here I often end up switching to some CB up the field who dives and takes himself out of the play.
Every year, like clockwork, some media jackwagon asks the head of officiating to comment on Horns Down and taunting. And when the given answer is aggregated everywhere the story becomes “why is Texas so soft?”.
Yikes. Crowd control issues up at the stage? Hartzell just stopped his speech .
edit: back on. But I was down there an hour ago and it seemed like the crowd was bigger than had been planned for.
