Nesticle has a chat program under the Net header. Just use AIM to exchange IP's and decide who's going to host, then go into Nesticle and use the chat window there.

Once you fire it up it's just like the old console version.

Except you can play the computer or go online with an opponent.

Ok, but how do you 'fire it up' ? I have a Logitech game controller, but I can't get the game to start. All I can get is the opening scene to run over and over again.

At the top of the nesticle screen, go to settings, and then redefine input. Select device 1.

You should see a list of devices you can set to be the input for nesticle. Click on gamepad. Then press the buttons on your gamepad, if the screen blinks with it, then you're all set. If pressing the buttons does nothing, click on Joystick 1 or whatever and try again.

what if I want to use my keyboard (you know, until I get a controller)? I tried that whole setting thing but to no avail

You can use the keyboard but I wouldn't recommend it.

I just picked up a logitech USB controller this weekend for $9.99

Cool, thanks. Now I just need to brush up, re-familiarize myself with the game.

Then Warren Moon, Heyward Jeffries and Earnest Givins will be lighting it up!

What should blink, the green box? I can get some of the things to work, like start and kickoff. But I can't consistently choose plays, move my player, change the player etc.

Aren't there tournaments with real money to be won?

I thought I've heard of Madden championships with big cash payouts -- true or urban legend?

Beemnseven · 05-07-2007, 07:48 PM

I'm practicing now. After getting my ass handed to me 51-14 against Bo Jackson and the Raiders, I'm back to .500. Clearly, I need some catch up time.

So when do we start this? Also, when you play against an online opponent, do your players' physical conditions carry over if you're in the middle of a season?

My AIM ID is Beemnseven.

when you play against someone online it's just like playing an exhibition game against someone as if you were playing on the old NES console. In-season progress doesn't carry over.

This game is a little tricky. I didn't really start playing football until the first Madden game. I've got a lot of work to do...

i love ur sig man just love it

Well, I played my first game against an online opponent. It wasn't pretty. I'm used to playing from left-to-right. For the first time in years, I played from right-to-left. It takes some time getting used to that.

There was some serious lag effect, but we were able to play through it. I also need some practice controlling the players with the joystick as opposed to using the directional pad.

Anyone know if you can use the D-pad instead?

Beemnseven · 05-09-2007, 09:17 AM

I'm 0-2 so far on the Tecmo Players Circuit. I used the Oilers both times -- my opponent used the 49ers the first game and beat me 35-14. One of his scores was a fumble return, and the other was a kickoff return when I inadvertently tried an onside kick -- the lag time screwed me up. You have to anticipate the lag effect with the kickoff.

The second game the same guy beat me 20-14 in OT using the Browns. For some reason, Warren Moon was WAY off -- I was only able to manage 33% completion on passes. Usually he's better than that.

How exactly would you configure the controller to use the D-pad? I tried it but it wouldn't work.
