You accept holding penalties? Jeezo
When I finally converted, I was looking for the 3rd flag. God damn crooked refs!
Are they random or do holds impact the outcome of a play. I always assumed they were not random so i accept them. Fumbles are random and no on punts right after they get one.
It depends on the opponent and the penalties called up to that point. I think LJ and I historically have just declined penalties against each other that were out of our control? I have no clue or guess as to how the penalty logic is applied in the game!
If it was a "sim" amount of penalties we'd be begging to turn penalty slider down. PI could always be turned up (offensive or defensive), but we wouldn't notice the difference
I can't even remember the last time a penalty was called in a game I played but I do remember accepting a few penalties on outside runs where Matthews was suction blocked and it sprang a big run. I've been noticing tons of that again which is nice. Against Sok no matter what I did he could run off tackle and my defenders would ignore the runner and fly at blockers. I would have accepted the shit out of hold calls there because Soka is obviously a cheater.
Is this the normal mentality of the league? I've been accepting them for the reason eznark has given. I didn't even know you can manually hold. If people are declining holding penalties as a gesture, I can begin to do that as well. But normally I'm just like fuck it and accept.
I was ready to hit A. I really could've used a third holding call!

Nah, I think it just changes from person to person. I usually just let the other person dictate it if the hold gets called against me first, or if I'm playing Ramirez, I always accept every penalty

It's been my experience that youre more likely to get a holding call if you take an unorthadox route with your RB/KR. I accept them, it's a part of the game.
Things I want in Madden 14:
1. Exhibition games/scrimmages in CCM
2. Spectator mode
3. Re-work on the Attribute system as well as descriptions for what each one does specifically. IE: look at NHL's system.
4. Physics tuning. The physics in this game are absolutely idiotic. DM and I had so many situations where Freeman, Griffin, Jones, Watkins, and others just get stuck on the linemen for a good 5 seconds. I know everyone experiences this. It's so fucking annoying!

I usually only accept when it affects the play and it was obvious, but accept them if you want. I don't see a problem with it since they happen IRL.
You guys should have seen the refs in my game with Mastershake. Huge assholes.
They don't do it on purpose (although, I'm sure now I'll see it or maybe not... simit!).
Just let me pick my playbook in practice and run it as many times as I want (sans XP or whatever I give no fucks) and I'd be happy.
I accept all penalties when I am on the road because you know it had to be blatant as fuck.
I accept most penalties....the only one I can think of that I decline is the late hit out of bounds. I wasn't aware that you could manually cause holding penalties.
Can you go in 30 minutes?

Sure
Okay then. I'll just continue to fuck people over and accept them bitches. I was just curious how the rest of the league handled that.
This would suffice but I'd prefer to actually play people just so I can get the hang of human opponents rather than the computer. But fuck it, why not just have both in the game. Bastards!
Ok, just buying some lunch then heading home.
When has EA ever given us more than "barely sufficient" improvements?

Injury "cut scenes" eat into the playclock - which is retarded, I can't believe I've forgot to whine about this.
Bad enough my team is made of glass and then I am going to get delay of game, too?
Fuckkkkkkkkk this

Tenessee has released 25 year old CB Cody Sensabaugh. They have decided to go with Huff as their NickelBack / Occasional SS and have signed FA SS Robert Blanton to help with Huff's old duties. Tennessee is recently thinner at the CB position with the loss of their #1 CB Rashean Mathis.
Sorry, missed your earlier post and you missed mine. lol I'll be back tomorrow after noon pacific, but I won't be able to play in the 3 o'clock hour. Latest I can play is 8.

i accept any and all penalties! just like in real life, a holding flag is completely random and the refs just throw it when they feel like it.
p.s.
im pretty sure if there was a stat for most personal foul/late hit on the qb i would be leading the league by a large margin. i feel like i have one called every other game

Waaaaa I get you much pressure on the QB!!!!
I played the niners in my offline career and I hate them!

That's because you have the only team which gets instant pressure off of 3 guys on the line.

Giants get that too from the looks of things.
I think when Huff inevitably leaves this offseason I'm just going to get the hardest hitting SS I can find.

lol wtf? i don't even think i'm top 10 in sacks. take a look at your boy bigat's if you want to see a team with insta-pressure!
That and quarter changes you get a shorter clock. So much bullshit.
I meant to ask about this earlier, but in my game with DM, I threw a pick and play didn't stop at all. What I mean was, when you throw a pick, the camera pans around and the game pauses for a second. But this pick was different. I threw it and the game kept going as the camera panned around. It was weird. Has that happened to anyone before?
I don't know why you guys take so long to pick plays anyway, Madden makes up his mind pretty quickly.
Yeah it's happened a few times for me, it makes it hard to control your player because it switches so fast

That's a lag thing. Was your game spiking at all?
It did once or twice.

Is that why you stealth changed that slider that one time?

Didn't you try to get bob to side with you too until I exposed it and you were the only one who wanted tthe slider to be changed cause you take late shots on the QBs?
