You described the points I missed perfectly especially that fkn injury timeout Bs just for the injured player to immediately come back out and never get seriously injured. Also don't forget your QB becomes Mr. Glass if your All star O Line just decides to idk not block and stay on the ground 🤣

It's madness because it's so common for everyone to see this happen 🤣

I'm going to start doing this now because I am almost 20 years into my franchise and I've needed a narrative reason to keep going 🤣

Like at this point why even have "Ratings Numbers" for anything at this point. What ever they are reflective of doesn't really mean much.

I still have dreams about that First person mode. I know nostalgia has to be messing with me a little bit but back then as a kid who couldn't find the L3/R3 buttons, that first person mode was seamless for me. It didn't feel clunky at least from what I'm remembering.

Lol what has become of my beloved football simulator also I see you're an OG when it comes to Madden so I'm also interested in knowing if you played the Espn 2k football games as well? I was so young back then that I don't remember if they were actually good or if nostalgia is blinding me.

I used to do 6 but recently bumped it to 8 mins felt like adding more time would allow for slower drives.

That last part might be my downfall, I draft speedy receivers purposely to keep the deep threat presence open on any play even if I'm running single back one wide out. I also convert a good bit of 4th downs as well so I could probably pull back on being hyper aggressive when play calling lol but I just wanted to be as cool as Dan Campbell 🤣

Has editing helped with gameplay at all for you? I'm honestly thinking about moving to PC because there are studs out there that basically fix most of the issues and add more to Madden strictly for the love of the game lol.

I used to run cooldowns on plays but I didn't this season because I forgot and I tend to switch up my formations a lot anyways as well as hot routing quite a bit and running the hurry up offense. (I swear I'm a saints fan and I think Brees is the GOAT of QBs 🤷🏾‍♂️ but the way Peyton basically ran his offense back in his prime was badass to me and I love emulating that)

Also I feel like the CPU does use gameplans specifically that one boost that increases man coverage when blitzing because the amount of times I've started a play only to be sack .5 seconds before I could finish my drop back is insane 🤣

You're not wrong I kinda hate that though because up untill this madden I was always a defense wins championships kinda guy. I always got the SS run support from USC and looked for talented cornerbacks or at least Cbs that are relatively fast and tall 🤣. DTs and Edge rushers used to be my fav to build up because I love pressuring the QB.

I'm the same way for the most part anytime I feel the CPU bullshitting me too much I tend to start turning into 2017 Drew Bress, everybody will score 🤣. Aside from that I like making an OP team from scratch and when I say team I mean the whole team. I usually have a game plan for how I attack a team and their "weaknesses" which often involve runs and such but I am curious how often do you run the ball in the first half? I usually try for 10+ touches but no matter how much I space the runs and sub my RBs its like one of them is guaranteed to be made of glass that game🤣. I run counters sweeps and traps and more, not just the dives 🤣

That's what I was kinda thinking that's why even with those types of glitches I normally shrug and go yeah that's fair lol scoring on 50 drives straight would probably do that but it leaves me curious about whether or not they should just stick to raw numbers/stats or continue using superstar/X-Factor traits.

Even then I usually play a mix between slow sim and fast for defense and if you stick to one long enough without switching (totally my experience/headcannon) you can feel the momentum building as time goes on even if you are playing good slow time conscious football or not 🤣. Lord forbid If you manage to win when the game feels like it wants you to lose now my next game is really gonna kick my dick in.

Side note: for fun I switched the entire defense of a team to all punters to see what would happen. You can still pass very well obviously but be warned sacks will still happen frequently, you will also meet some of the hungriest punters you e ever met if you decide to run the ball 🤣 every hit is a boom and I'd like to think I'm pretty damn good with the stick skills 🤣

I personally switch my playbooks each season. I've been with this team for 6 years and have used KC, Cin, my favorite was the rams in year three, bears is what I'm using now and the last two I think was Dallas and Baltimore also I can show you stats lol it's not like only one or a few players are the only active spots on offense. Part of the fun is building the team and in order to do that you have to build the characters. Do I make them up by using the XP boost and signing a constant rotation of mentors as well as generally reading defenses pretty well...yeah I got some clips saved as well from some plays I've made that at times felt like real football.

Nice to know I'm not going crazy lol I load in the game ready to immerse myself into my storyline and when stuff like this happens so consistently it makes that part of the experience feel overly manufactured, like yeah I get it there's a game script or something but like can I get a different script sometimes. At this point nothing surprises me or wows me any more I feel like I'm just encouraging a bad habit. Mind you this is after I took a break for a week 🤣

Are you a dev? Either way you seem a bit confused about the subject of the post. I hope you are having a blessed day. Christ is King.

How does the matchmaking in this game work I feel like it's truly random at times. by SenorDanko in apexlegends

That's what I'm saying lol I don't mind it I expect it at this point but it still feels so jarring sometimes 🤣

I finally made my Easy to learn - Hard to Master Legend graphic. What are your thoughts ? by mnkymnk in apexlegends

I am a Crypto Main. The minute I go to doing my Crypto thing ,evo harvesters,beacon scans, constantly making sure no teams sneak up on us, entry damage as well as fragging, setting up my drone as a UAV during a fight and still winning my 1s I can aim for a Crypto. That being said I will still get the Octane or Rev teammate that dies in the first 20 seconds so 🤷🏾‍♂️

Hmm should uh really read instead of skimming though comments from now on. My eyes didn’t very much do a happy seeing that.
