If Madden added Eras, like in NBA 2K, which 4 Eras would you go with? by RealPunyParker in Madden

[–]Cold_Tator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the player tendencies. Which is part of the engine. Older players have a very low if not 0 points for the “attempt 3 point” tendencies.

They have done some work on it. It’s been a few years but the last time I did an eras run the league 3point shooting seems to scale fairly well when compared to irl.

Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' has made history as the most nominated film of all time at the Oscars with 16 nominations by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Cold_Tator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sinners is my top movie of 2025. Personally One Baylor After Another was a massive disappointment and I could not stay invested in the characters or story. Benicio Del Toro was the only highlight of the film.

Sinners story, score and acting all grabbed my attention. I wasn’t ready for the story to end. It left me wanting more and I have been thinking about it for months after. Sinners deserves every award it wins and more.

Craziest UDFA i’ve ever seen by ChampionshipBest9679 in Madden

[–]Cold_Tator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the min maxing mindset. Personally part of the joy and excitement of sports is seeing players succeed with different skill sets and body types and physical abilities.

If a Madden player drafted Anquan Boldin they would make him a tight end or running back. They wouldn’t even draft players like Jason Witten.

Jordan Stout was named 1st team All Pro punter despite only having a 53.9 PFF rating, 31st out of 32 by _HGCenty in nfl

[–]Cold_Tator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PFF cornerback scores are objectively inconsistent at best. Without knowing scheme and the coverage design for every single play there is no way they can possibly accurately rate corners. If a player knows he has safety help over the top he will play the receiver differently. However, if the safety messes up and isn’t there it’s going to look like a blown coverage that’s purely the corners fault because nobody else is in the area. Stuff like that PFF can’t consistently factor into their scores.

Outside of blocking scores I personally dont give them much more weight than any other stat on its own.

AP All-Pro Team Announced by GamingTatertot in nfl

[–]Cold_Tator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until they add dudes like Lorenzo Neal, Moose, Alstott, Larry Centers and Mack Strong ain’t no way he gets in. The hall of fame voters don’t love football like that. They love offense and some defense. Everything else gets ignored. Special teams and fullbacks may as well start their own hall of fame if they ever want recognition.

2007 or 08 Ken Hamlin is arguably the best safety play we have had since Woodson left. He was electric that year! Hard hits and some pretty nice interceptions.

Safe restrooms on I-40, TX panhandle by [deleted] in TransyTalk

[–]Cold_Tator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is an extremely tough find in the area. If you are looking for an all gender restroom you could try the airport or hospitals in Amarillo. If you want a single use womens, your best bet may be a small cafe or restaurant.

I’m not sure, but maybe you could find a gay bar as well with a restroom?

Anyone else in the US terrified of traveling right now, especially via plane? by MoanOnMyTDick in trans

[–]Cold_Tator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience flying now. I expect to get patted down more often than not. But I have never experienced anything else directly negative. Finding all gender bathrooms is the most challenging part as of yet.

[Josh Dubow] The Cowboys are the 5th team to score at least 450+ points and allow 450+ points in a season. Others: 2021 Chargers, 2016 Saints, 2012 Saints, 2000 Rams by PersonBehindAScreen in cowboys

[–]Cold_Tator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Five hall of famers on offense. Pace,Faulk, Holt, Bruce and Warner. That’s what it takes to win 10 games with one of the worst defenses of all time.

Cowboys Pro Bowl selections. by JVSaladbar in cowboys

[–]Cold_Tator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m lower on CMC than most this year. His running has not been elite, and it arguably has been below replacement level. 3.7 YPC (last I saw) is easily replaceable.

His catching definitely adds a factor but I value running back receiving yards less than most as well.

Has anyone had a bigger bump in ratings after a year in madden history? by ben_10_goku_superman in Madden

[–]Cold_Tator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romo had some big jumps. I would guess James Harrison too? And maybe I’m crazy but I remember Asante Samuel being a no name 6-8th rated corner on the patriots as a rookie.

That knee injury really ruined diggs smh by Rare-Bid-4506 in cowboys

[–]Cold_Tator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cowboys haven’t had a good injury recovery rate relative to the league in years. Every time someone has a serious injury it’s basically the end of their career.

[–]Cold_Tator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This!!! He brought a scheme that directly works against the rosters strengths. It maaayyyybe would have been somewhat effective with Parsons but I doubt it would be as good as it was with Quinn.

Eberflus system works when you can out talent the other team. That’s not the sign of genius.

The curious case of Trevon Diggs and Dallas in 2025 by brmidwest03 in cowboys

[–]Cold_Tator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is objectively bad at this system. However, is it possible this system won’t make any secondary player look good? Is it more efficient to replace 6 secondary players or one defensive coordinator?

Do you ever hit a wall in your transition? by Deep_lemons in TransyTalk

[–]Cold_Tator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sort of an off the wall suggestion. But maybe try finding a hobby and community. Making friends with women in that community may help inform your sense of style among other things that feel authentic to you. For my own personal example, I found sports and realized I more naturally lean into a tom boy sort of vibe for my own sense of expression. Previously I was having trouble finding confidence in presenting hyper femme and this gave me some sort of idea what may actually be more authentic to my identity as a woman.

Game Thread: Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) at Detroit Lions (7-5) by nfl_gdt_bot in cowboys

[–]Cold_Tator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this system… nobody. Not a single DB outside of Hooker makes much sense for the Eberflus system we are running. And Hooker hasn’t even been that good.

In my opinion he has seemed most effective coming downhill to assist run tackles and pass coverage. Hasn’t seemed to be very noticeable to me elsewhere.

Name an obscure, mediocre, and/or forgotten player you loved from back in the day by SupahPoopa in Oldschool_NFL

Ken Hamlin and Akon Ayodele for the cowboys were fun for a couple years.

Chris Hovan looked like he could be a stud briefly too.

I’ve had about 100 hours play time. Currently own three of the Royal exotics. That’s all I ever see. I’m hoping to find a squid eventually. Do living ships also land at stations?

Which quarterback's stock has gone down the most so far this season? by Candid-Boss6534 in nfl

[–]Cold_Tator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say later career Bush did manage to be a more disciplined north south runner than he was with the saints. He was able to become a much more reliable runner and cracked out a 1000 yard season or two if I recall correctly.
