Not having the cone up and deciding to throw to another receiver can be the difference between getting sacked and getting the pass off. It takes time to move the cone. So yes, it can have a negative effect and theoretically prevent running around and passing wherever you damn well choose.

Yes theoretically this is true but you don't HAVE to wait for the cone to me, you don't even have to move the cone is what im saying.. The games flawed in this sense.

Anyone want a game? :lol

 

[Shawnwhann]

would say that at least 1/3, if not more, of his passes were the type where he immediately sprints out of the pocket after the snap, running around like a chicken with his head cut off while waiting for the crossing routes to open up. Yes, this play does happen in real life and no, it does not happen very often. It's very hard to defend because the receivers will get open 90% of the time and no D-lineman can hang with a fast QB like Troy Smith. Also, on these plays the passing cone doesn't come up until the very last minute, right as he's releasing the ball. We are going for a realistic league and this type of play doesn't fit in, and it's sure as hell not fun to play against.

Oh my god, I can't believe you are totally distorting the way the game went. First off, I saw you were HIGHLY susecptable to the play action pass. You were playing zone almost exclusively, and it made sense to continue to run play action until you changed your style. Look at the stats from that game. Troy Smith ran for a total of -11 on 3 carries if you recall. If you are going to continue sitting a a zone, I will sit back and wait for a opening to happen. The so called cheese you describe would have easily been remedied by blitzing a linebacker or corner, but you lack the ability to adjust which is why you got murdered. Not only was I hitting playaction, I was hitting screens, quick slants, and bombs. You were just completely outclassed, and you had no idea how I was going to attack you. ADMIT IT!!!

As far as the passing cone, like I mentioned in our chat I cannot help the way the thing was implemented. Again, why should you see what I am reading while I run through my progressions. I use the left triger to initiate my cone, and it is BS to complain that you cannot see what I was looking at or for through the course of the game. Even if the cone was always on, I would not move it until I am ready to throw. F**k your expectations about how you think I should use the cone so you have more of a chance to win. If it was so cheesy, EA would not aloow the cone to be controlled in this way. If you had any real skill you would read the game and not the cone to direct your defense.


Futhermore, I no longer respect this guy. We had a 15-20 minute conversion about the game after we played and I am hearing all these sour grapes for the first time. If this really bothered you like your post indicates we could have discussed this like men yesterday. Instead you launch a smear campaaign where you constantly say "Not to pick on Shawn" only to do exactly that throughout the entire post. I feel completely justified in calling you a man that has no class from what you tried to pull.

Topics:

Cone - This wasn't directed towards you, but more towards the rules in general. I was using the example of how you use it to express why the rule requiring it is useless. We talked about it after the game and I said NOTHING in my post about the cone that I didn't say after the game. You are the only person I've played that uses the cone this way, but I'm sure many others do - this has nothing to do with you and was only an example. The cone discussion has all been done by now so there's no need to keep having this discussion.

Defense - Once I realized I was outclassed, I was really experimenting to see how I could stop a scrambling QB from sprinting out and waiting for the crossing routes to open. The problem with Man coverage is that a good WR like Ginn will always beat the CB/Safety across the field. That's why I was trying out Zone but obviously that didn't work, either. The only way to stop that is to get to the QB first, which is nearly impossible with a lineman against Troy Smith. You are right that I'm not good enough at the game and don't know the playbooks enough to counteract your any of your strategies. Plus, every blitzing LB/CB I sent was absolutely swallowed up by your line/backs. It was just a completely dominant display by the lines on both side of the ball.

QB Sprint Out - I pointed out that you only did this for about 1/3 of the pass plays, and I was annoyed when you were doing this during the game, but I didn't get really annoyed until I re-read the rules today where FMT specifically says not to play this way. Like I said, you murdered me when you played straight-up, so why would you feel the need to run those cheesy, non-designed sprint out plays? No matter what you feelings, you can't deny that you ran these plays frequently throughout the game. If that pisses you off, don't do it. It's not like you need to - you obviously are much better at the game than most.

Running Up the Score - Why are you saying I'm not classy because I have legitimate complaints, mainly about running up the score and non-designed sprint outs? The reason I didn't complain after the game was again because I didn't remember the rules and it wasn't my team that lost. I was annoyed, though, because it made the damn game drag on forever.

I don't want to turn this thread into a bitchfest, but I think I had two legitimate complaints about your style of play (one of which you didn't refute), which I voiced, one complaint about the cone rule that was general in nature, which I voiced, and A LOT of praise for your NCAA 2007 skills. There is no need to take it as a personal attack, and I even say that I would like to play you again because I learn the most when I get my ass kicked.

I apologize for upsetting you, but I stand by my two main complaints.

[hgplayer1]

for you guys that havent been part of our leagues before heres a few tips

someone in the league will always cheese. someone will complain about it. bitchfest ensues. nothing is accomplished.

rules always need to be made to counteract money plays and strategies. sometimes there are interpretations to these rules and thus the league votes on the proper interpretation. people that were on the losing side of the vote are frustrated the rest of the season because the game is being played in a way that doesnt seem proper for a sim league. bitchfest ensues. nothing is accomplished.

team selection is left open to any team in the game. with a game like NCAA there are so many teams and if you pick your favorite real life team, chances are youre gonna be mediocre at best. players who happen to end up with the best teams in the game are slaughtering some of the weaker teams making them feel invincible. they start talking shit. bitchfest ensues. nothing is accomplished.

Ive been in the middle of these bitchfests before and really they dont accomplish anything. try to have fun and win a few games. I think the teams ratings will take care of the rest. I think we can agree that there are a group of guys here who have genuine skills no matter what team they use. for you guys that are sprinting your QBs out of the pocket on a regular basis, youre not playing sim and dont have an understanding of what sim video game football is. you dont have to admit it we already know it for a fact. go buy an EA Big game.

This is how I define running around like a headless chicken: Running around without aim or clue of what is going on. Again the play action roll outs worked to perfection because you did not play to win. Just because you got burned the most on the play action passes does not negate the fact that I called all kinds of passing plays. You took no risks and called the same cautious gameplan all game. Why take a sack when I am scramble out of the pocket a little and get a clear view of my open receiver? I play to win and I do it ethically.

In regards to running up the score, I did in the end as a response to my frustration to your obvious milking the clock to get the game over with. You repeatedly ran the same tired option run to kill time. Again you did not play to win, and I was annoyed that you were wasting my time with the same play that was netting 5-7 yards each time.

I do not know if you genuinely were just trying to speak your mind or execute an agenda to smear my name. On one hand you say this was the least enjoyable game you played and then you go on to say that you would like to play me again because I am so good. I don't get you dude, and I really do not care to try at this juncture. I play the game ethically and I play to win. Troy Smith is my quarterback not Troy Aikman. I will scramble, but I do not and will not cheese. You need to get more creative with your play calling, and maybe you will have a shot next time.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, "I apologize for upsetting you."

Will the Irish be able to play tonight for week 3?

aim: mgransdt

The Irish will unfortunatley not be available until Tuesday evening. I have 18 people staying in my house tonight (family up to help another family member move and then headed to an amusement park tomorrow). Tuesday will work fine though. I hope that is cool man.

Sorry I wish I had time.

I would rather stab myself in the eyes with a kabob stick than hang out with all these people in my house.

It wasn't just leaving the pocket on the plays that I am talking about. It's the same thing another one of my buddies does - hike the ball, run all the way to a sideline, wait for the crossing routes to open up, if they don't, you've got a fast QB that you can take off with (but you never had to do this b/c Ginn always got open, haha). Like I said, you didn't do it every play, not even half the time, but you did it enough to be annoying because there was really no way for me to stop it.

What do you mean milking the clock? After getting abused in the first half, I slowed the game down and played my running game, which if you look at my stats for my first three games, is my strength. I didn't run the play clock down excessively, and what's wrong with getting 5-7 yards per play?!? Especially when you were already up by 40. What else was I supposed to do? If you look at the second half, it was very close as I was "milking" the clock thanks to smarter play and finally getting a few breaks. Also, UF's playbook sucked and every other damn running play was a variation of some option, most of them being those stupid QB option plays that UF, UGA, and Texas love to run. :lol :lol

Believe me, I have no agenda, and no incentive to smear anyone's name! I did my fair share of praising you and I voted you #1 the first week, and after seeing you play first-hand I'll vote you #1 again. There were three factors that killed the enjoyment - lag, UF's team/playbook, and the sprint-outs. Two of those were beyond your control so part of my frustration had nothing to do with you.

When someone is up 40 on me (which is never BTW) I pass my way back into the game. When I say milking, I mean holding the ball as long as possible because you know when I get the ball it is going to go for 6. Although you may not believe it, I let off the throttle in the second half just like I did with CB in week one. Next time we play, I will play as my backup QB and I will still blow you out while eagerly anticipating the next excuse you will surely cook up.

When is week 4 going up FMT?!?!? Troy needs to continue his Heisman campaign ASAP!!

 

[vumpler]

Well regardless (in consideration of the issue at hand) if he didn't do it at all its retarded that EA continues to have these bogus errors because in the end if someone with a receiver like Ginn Jr. is down by 6 in the 4th, they will use the cross routes to that receiver because they are always open. If they don't use them on a regular basis you know their going to use them if they "need" the touchdown. The only way to stop it is corner blitz with you covering the corner you know he's throwing to... Otherwise it’s an end result score every time. So its EA's fault and we're not supposed to exploit and I know none of us do it on purpose but regardless it happens. It would be shit to say you can't run cross routes or corner routes because in all realms of football those are a majority of your core passing plays...

Hard to get games in with families...3-4 days is good, but it can't/shouldn't go further than that.

Good game LoneStar...i really thought i was going to lose it there in the end...an 80 yard bomb to bring it close...man i need to find a way to put people away..i seem to just give in on 3 and long plays too...i'm going to work hard and trying to find that right defesne in that situation.

Doesn't seem like you are too interested in gaining any new friends during this league here Shawn. These leagues are fun because we keep the ego turned down and make sure we consider sportsmanship.


You sound like quite the player. I wish we could watch other people play online because I would love to see FMT, CK or DM play you. Would probably be quite the battle.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

please bring up any questionable playing habits. that is why we are all pals here! no hard feelings, im sure there are merits on both sides as to what was done and whether it was cheesy or not. since the league has (strangely...) voted that the cone can be turned on whenever, you're SOL with that one! way to elect george bush gaf! secondly, there should be no score running up under any circumstance. i understand frustration with clock milking, but i do not understand being frustrated when a FILL IN OPPONENT IS RUNNING THE CLOCK OUT IN A BLOWOUT GAME! he has better shit to do with his time and he was cool enough to fill in. no excuse there chum, don't do it again! now if someone is milking the clock from the first quarter on in a tight game then ok.

i dont have issue with shawnhanns playstyle from what i've seen. he did break containment a few times on me but with the right gameplan it can be neutralized. not taking sides, cause for all i know he played 100% different than he did against me, just commenting on what i know.

week 4 will go up when week 3 is finished. get on your comrades to finish!

also, please submit your post week 2 rankings to me for consideration. if i do not receive your request i do not use your opinion.

P.S. you cannot rank yourself. leave yourself out of any rankings you have. should've specified that earlier

On the contrary, I am totally interested in gaining new friends from this league. I talk smack, but so do several other people here. I can dish it and I certainly can take it. Most of my posts are made in good nature, I do not detest anyone here. I'M JUST JOKING WITH THE EGO STUFF!! Talkin smack is the best part of sports gaming. It revs up the competitive juices on both sides. I just have a serious problem with someone completely bashing my style when I heard very little of this yesterday. I know he has more "Gaf-cred" that a rook like myself, but what he did was not cool. I did not see today coming after our discussion yesterday.

About running up the score, I will go autopilot from now on instead of being aggressive all game. That is the one complaint that is justified from mmelay. I solemly swear to be the kindest, sweetest, most considerate player that NCAA 07 has ever seen. We all happy?

For sure man. I hope you wind up being a healthy addition to the GAF online league crew (somone else has to buy a NBA game and then quit after two weeks like Matrix, it just doesn't seem right that he's the only one). But I've heard from all three of your opponents regardling how much time you spend "rolling out of the pocket". It's not an attack. Honest. Take this from the person that lives and dies with Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons. I didn't even know how much time I spent out of the pocket running around until I played against someone that was using the Falcons. When you have a mobile QB it just tends to happen. The crappy part with these games is that the AI can't react to playing like that.

I can't recall how many times I have rolled left with Vick only to see a LB locked in a zone 5 yards from him and never make a move to put pressure on him. And as soon as the defensive player takes control of that LB it's all over, cause it's way too easy to just lob the ball over his head while he's running at you.

I do my best now to not "abuse" Vick's mobility but it's kinda hard to when he moves like that.


As for our current battle for tops in the recieving and QB stats. I throw to over 6 recievers (and to 8 in my second game) a game. It appears your QB only has eyes for Ginn. Just saying it.

No that's ok. I would rather have a decent chance of a W as opposed to a rape job lol.

We picked teams well before the ranking were known in this game.

I was shocked at OSU's rating too, I expected them to be rated a D+ at the most.

Cute...

To all the haters out there, I will gladly prove I can win with a traditional pocket passing QB when I dominate the Madden league when my Cowboys. BELEIVE!!!!

Lol if you can't win with the cowboys this year you're in realllllly bad shape ROFL. Play with the rams if you want to prove you can "dominate."

Having the best receiver in the NFL (not counting last year because my boy steve took that one) as a whole on your team should be almost impossible to stop. So slow down on the trash talking already lol. Having TO is just like having Ginn. It's the same thing all over again lmao.

Hgplayer will most likely get the Cowboys in season one,hes a madden league vet and has used them every season.

I swear I can't win. Whatever team I pick, I am going to get some type of backlash for having a great quarterback, or a great running back, or a great receiver, or a great defense etc. Quit sippin on the Haterade fellas, and rise up to the occasion using the strengths of your own team. Sigh...

As for picking teams, what method are we using to pick the teams? If "vets" aleady own the rights to most teams, what do I have to pick from? I thought a thread opens up with people picking what teams they want to have, but educate me on how the Madden league picks its teams.

Anyone who has played with us for 3+ years is obviously gonna get first dibs,and then everyone else can pick from what is left.

For example...

me-steelers
fmt-niners
dm-buccs
hg-cowgirls
matrix-texans (LOL)
true-falcons
fifty-ravens

and so on and so on...
