I wasn't attempting to group you in that group at all just stating what a fairly large portion of the freestyle players start off with.

You instance that if one doesn't play 15 minute quarters then they can't be playing sim is slightly ridiculous. Can you not play football unless you play 15 minute quarters. I play the game as if its real football or as close to it as I can possibly get. That doesn't mean if I play 8 minute quarters or 6 minute quarters I'm playing the game any differently other than the game will result in less plays. Sim isn't just about adhering completely to the NFL template if it was I'd never recognize the college Air Raid or the college Spread as viable sim offenses unless I was playing NCAA. If Madden had the A11 I'd say go ahead and try to run it if you want. Its more about playing the game as much like football as possible.

HAHA

Posting on a forum in the first place means we leave normal behind. Being very passionate about a game to the point that you sit in front of a computer going back and forth for hours is the point that many psychologist would deem obsessive behavior.

....Its a good thing I think psychology is one of the worst branches of science.

again another flaw in the sim system.

big fn deal ( i think it was him ) is all about th NFL Simulation aspect - you just want football.

u can play football and not run football concepts - i do it all the time in the backyard on thanksgiving.

so SIM now just needs to be like football and thats it? doesnt need to represent a NFL simulation?

Ok slight correction then, I need organized football. I love learning the concepts that are used by various offenses and defense more than I love Madden. I am past the point I can actually play football (at any competitive level) and while I guess I could coach a Pop Warner squad (I assume, is 23 old enough to coach youth football?) I simply don't have any other outlet to apply all the concepts that I read about.

Madden isn't perfect and not every concept will actually work (I was sad when triple inside blaze turned out to be a blitz concept that doesn't translate) but it still gives me a place to apply what I've learned. In that manner it is my football simulation.

Its probably a combination of that being funny and me being sleep deprived from a week of finals but the visualization of that gave me my best laugh in quite awhile.

so im still running football concepts - i take bench and make it a 4 verticals. i change a deep out from a strong flood and make it a slant out - still does the same thing - so then thats sim?

No.

8 min quarters at most with acc clock, I am pretty sure you would enjoy yourself by atleast trying to abide by a SIM leagues rules and regulations for a season. I have been thru the ringer dealing with freestyle players and those who were trying to be freestyle players because they were tired of losing to them and it was the only way for them to play the game online.

Now you got this younger gen of people who think its cool now to find these gimmicks and exploits in the game and use them on any and everybody.

My main thought an concern is: Why kill off the potential that you have in competition when everyone can be on the same page as far as game play goes? it doesnt make sense, I am sure there would be tons of people flocking to compete in madden like they wer doing back when they were doing 32 cities tours for MCs! All that died with the main reason of people being allowed to cheat!

You gotta open your eyes, I see it from both sides and winning and money is just not that important to me if I cant do it right to begin with. You might as well just tell me to stick my hands up and take my money and move on, because im gonna feel the same way if you cheated me for it anyway!
