Quote from NinerNation >> Smh another thread of essays where everyone is trying to set arbitrary guidelines as to how others should play the game. I have two simple questions for those of you who constantly whine about cheese:   1. If tournament players can constantly spam “cheese” and we can’t emulate their game, does the skill gap between top players and the rest of us widen or shrink?   2. Can someone please tell me where all these moral madden warriors hang out? Is it in the rookie or pro divisions or something? There’s a massive, collective lack of self-reflection or awareness on here because 80% of the people I play spam what everyone deems “cheese.” The math doesn’t add up between the games I play and how holier than thou everyone on here claims to be.

Here we are guys. The end of the line. Just a couple weeks out from the new game drops, and when alot of chronic cheesers will be FLOCKING to the message boards and forums and social media to bitch about how bad the game new game is. "Passing is impossible." "Running is So nerfd." Whatever the thing is gonna be.  They're going to be lost, waiting on a YouTube to drop the new hotness they can exploit, rather than getting or working on a scheme. I've been playing madden for years. While I'm by no means a pro, I am better than alot.  And its largely because I know route combos. I understand spacing and defensive theory to where I just adjust the reads based on each years CPU AI.  But instead of putting in some time and trying to get creative  everyone is gonna bitch about the game, then when the new random hotness comes out, everyone is gonna flock. From strong close to tight slots. Everyone has run the hotness. I've run ace sets as my scheme all year. I briefly dabbled in trips TE as well. No bunch. No tight slots. No deuce close. You don't need it. Why not take this time to practice you're stick skills in the current game? Practice creating route combos and play variations. That way next year, you're not at the mercy of only what you can google, having no answer to when people know the counters to your blitzes or money plays. That's how you elevate your game. That's how madden becomes more fun. Its chess. Not google and pray. EA is gonna disappoint with content, there will be bugs, people will glitch next year. Its madden.  But these things can be overcome. Dont wait on YouTube to get you decent next year. Work on the tools to get good.  But then again, you're happy winning most games becuade people dont know adjustments you big plays, then do you. It is a game, play how youd like. I'd just hate to see so many hate a game for 2 months while waiting on someone to find a scheme for them.

I mean I was fine enough the time, it was a W in WL. When i got the DC is when I got mad.

Brymark68.    This pathetic, worthless, no life.  The king of stalling. Would literally take 2 delay of games, then run a play on the 3rd not to get kicked. Wash, rinse, repeat the whole game. Would not pick a play of defense or special teams.  Even would callnl time out to get 60 sec play clock instead of 30.  Fast forward through 4th quarter, I'm winning 28-0 Suddnely I have connection issues and I DC.  I never DC. Ever. I have fiberoptic internet hardwired into my xbox.  I DC up 28-0 in the forth over an hour into a game.... and I get the L.      What kind of pathetic no life does this?? How shitty is your life?  "He was just trolling." No hes a fucking loser. I pity anyone who's life is SO bad they have the time of feel the need to do this. Get up and go do something guy.  I've said I'm previous posts THIS is what's killing madden.  It the community. Everyone is toxic for the most part. People quit early like a cancer. It's impossible to get a game to completion. I get a stop.l. I score, I get another spot.. hes gone.  No one wants to scheme. Everyone wants to flock to YouTube to run the new hotness, then bitch when their AI glitch plays get stopped by adjustments.   Its fucking terrible all the way around  fuck this dude. Fuck him. I can't imagine a life so shitty... and I'm literally on the toilet right now.

Go on a 4 or 5 game win streak in WL, sitting at now 9-2. I haven't had more than a estimated 15 sec wait time yet, and it usually puts me in before then. Go to play for my 10th, estimated wait time up over 30 sec suddenly.. takes 1:18 and still not in a game?? Haha no thanks. Back out and I'll just play later. Not today satan.

I think im between good and very good. I usually go 10-2/3 in WL. Depending on time the most I try to go is to 14 if I can. In which I'm like 14-5/6 when I go tlyhat high. Generally the games I lose is when the fluke is turned up to the max (DDA or just dumbluck, whatever you believe.)  I actually struggle more with people just doing random stuff that pans out like deep balls that work, or the perfect blocking and CPU blockshed  or stock cover 3 that covers everything, etc  I rarely lose to a bunch, trips TE, split slot, tight slots, etc. I have adjustments for that, and I generally can control the entire middle with my user.  The only reason i dont consider myself elite at madden, is I haven't put in the time to lab or look up the gimmicky offenses. Where yo motion, what to hot route, etc to get a truly dotty passing game.  I'm a dink and dunk, run the ball guy and let my defense win me most of my games. Any game I can get 14 in feel confident I can win. The best and most time invested players will absolutely beat me, but for an average Joe I like to think I'm as good as you can be without being someone who take the game TOO serious

Quote from jaybird13 >> I'm looking at him after I finish the o-line. I'm pretty unimpressed with Lott so far. I had lott as well and I never noticed him. I was a downgrade from ed reed for me.  I sold him the day before BB dropped so he was almost a free trade for Kam. Def worth it

And hes balling out it control? Went 7-0 in WL yesterday after I got him and he had 11 (not a typo) picks. From playing C routes to post routes, to down in the box stopping runs, be was all over the field.  So far, I have pat Pete (free), keuchley, barr, and kam and Kam is who I'd recommend anyone get from the SBB program.

People are mistaken like I'm crowing and absolving EA, which absolutely isnt the case. I agree with the content issues this year. EA is the one who patched cloud flats so they are now glitchable. Issues with EA is a whole different conversation that is just as extensive.  That's not the point of the post.  I was just pointing out that in a game where 10 AI controlled players can only play the way they are coded, the meta will always be what can spaz out the CPU. Its makes the gameplay much less enjoyable.

Quote from Perfectsil >> I don’t accept there will just always be glitches in the game, are there glitches or “money plays” in fortnite/Overwatch/Dota?  If people found glitches these games patch them very quickly,  its just laughable we even have disconnect glitches, what other games do?   completely EA’s fault for this broken game  Yes but those games are completely controlled users. From jumping to aim building, whatever. You still have to shoot the guy. It's just like usering in madden. You can do and move your user wherever. But the zones can only play q certain way. Period. That's just how AI works. The fact theres 10 other CPU controlled players that are GOING to play things specific ways, means you can find the ways to beat and expose it. If you really cant swe the difference then I really can't have this conversation with you.
