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!

if i play the sim extremist role i think if you dont play 15 min qtrs then you arent representing a simulation of the NFL.

you cant just decide to ignore certain things and then acknolwedge others as you see fit

thats fair right?

This has kept my level of sanity while being in the hospital for the past 2 1/2 days. Baby is wide awoke right now too and im just running off of fumes until she goes to sleep. But im gonna keep fighting!

Probably make some FREEstyle MADDEN T-shirts soon lol !

There is nothing wrong with using the play Bench like that. I just find it annoying that it ends up still being called Bench. I figured at this point that was one the development team would just stick in the playbooks so just to please some people.

Slant outs are something I strong dislike simply because they aren't on a route tree but it doesn't mean I'm going to argue that its an unsim tactic to flood a zone with them. I don't use them because they are more or less unheard of in just about all forms of football. I guess it gives me a head start on some people going into M13.

Its when you start running things like ghosts routes (not all motioned routes are equal), or run an offense that is literally composed of nothing but streaks and screens (whether its good or not). For those of us who have no interest in the tournament scene but are way too good to get any enjoyment out of the cpu the things that we have to put up with in random online games is nuts. I quit playing ranked games this year much faster than any other because it was about 10 times worse when it comes to running into those 1 play wonders or shake blitzing, or fg blocking, onside kicks every go, etc. I quit right in the middle of a streak where I had won 26 out of my last 27 games because playing like that stopped being fun. This year random online games went to a new high in terms of the amount of cheese that you would see (cheese equals running the same thing over and over and over regardless of results).

thats on you though - thats a you thing.

you can either let it frustrate you, try and figure out how to stop it (until its fixed), or make rules around it in a lg that u play in (which i respect and totally understand why people do this)

What Big FN Deal is mentioning is done on more than just streaks though the short routes are normally incidental contact by the user player such as running right down into the path of the WR but it isn't called.

It is also seen on posts and corners and you can even kind of do it with the offensive players. Its basically just pushing a player right out of the way by essentially body checking them out of the way although its not quite as extreme as a body check.

Its not really a big problem in terms of it actually effecting the game as a whole but it is something that I'd love to see improved. Give some push off animations or someting to the offensive player and give the defensive player some sort of mauling animation or something lol. Its all about using animations to improve the interactions between players for me.

EDIT:
Give me about 10-15 mintues and I'll post a very poor quality web video demonstrating what he is talking about.

literally in the eye of hte hurricane now

Video should be uploaded soon. Its a little more extreme than I wanted due to me being only an average user when using 1 hand but I've seen things like this not get called on multiple occasions.

Its still not something that I would say is worth banning as normally in those situations its just as easy to swat the ball down but when someone doesn't have good user skill then its kind of like a cheap way to stop some throws though much harder to actually accomplish than an actual swat.
