I Hate Madden Nation

[Berowsk]

"Freestyle Ballers" as you call yourselves are so cheese. I was trying to explain to my roommate all that they were doing that wouldn't be allowed in a sim league and he just flat out told me to shut up, I wouldn't stop talking. Please explain to me whether you feel Madden Nation is an accurate description of us players in the Madden Nation.

[Rush]

It is an accurate depiction of the "Tournament" players however it is in no way an accurate depiction of the hardcore Str8/Sim community. Some play the game for shits, and some play it as a simulation of how football is supposed to be played. How is using FB Dive every play and exploiting AI, a way to tell who is more talented then another player?

no, all they do is cheese

[Berowsk]

haha "tournament players" shouldn't exist.. we should murder them all

[Saluki]

It would def be more intresting if they at least added a Sim style bus or section of the bus. They all do the same boring ass cheese plays. And for some reason none of them can ever stop the run.

[Berowsk]

that separate bus idea is awesome

Because they sit in Dime, and play Cover 11.

They would never have a SIM bus. Can you imagine all the arguing that would go on. You guys think a league is bad, I couldn't stand 12 grown men arguing in real life over what is SIM. I'd rather watch the cheesers.

Cheese gives me the shits, so I stopped watching.

Lets not forget they are playing the game 1-2 months before the game is released to us. Everyone already knew who was going to win,

LOL it would be like a bunch of old men in a chess match.. boring.. true statement LastWish

It's okay.. I'm lactose intolerant too

X-Champ is cheese

it is easier to run a freestyle tourney, less rules to enforce.

sim ball is for the hardcore, freestyle is for the gamers, at least the madden community knows the difference. They had a sim baller on it last year, the guy won a game i think.

"Sim" is a VERY subjective word. -There are as many definitions of "Sim" as there are people who supposedly play under that ideology.

Freestyle/Tournament ballers at least have a set, objective list of universally agreed upon rules that prohibits universally recognized, blatant glitches. Outside of that, they coach their team any way they want -just like in real life.

People that whine about FB dives usually lack in fundamental defensive knowledge. -It's basically the equivalent to a "jab" in boxing; and we all know if you can only get beat by a jab in boxing, you won't win too many fights.

Sim players want Madden to be as easy as games like Halo -It's a football game; that will never happen ... get over it.

If Madden Nation was "sim", Chow would probably have to quit after the first episode because of all the arguing.

Your missing the point of "Sim" completely. Sim isn't about making the game easy as you say, just as im sure freestyle isn't all about exploiting the a.i.

People who play sim are people who would rather play the game of football the way it is actually played, meaning more realistically. Freestyle is more an arcade style of gameplay where you would see many tactics used that would not usually be used in an NFL game.
While most sim ballers consider most freestyle players "Cheese" because they use Nano blitzes, FB dives with the RB ect, freestyle ballers tend to think sim ballers are boring because they feel if it's in the game then you should use it.

Sim play does tend to stir up more arguments, but that's to be expected with more rules than freestyle play.

Jesus fucking christ, how old are all of u 3? The entire point of my last post was to try to get people to see both sides, but you ALL keep acting like little kids arguing. It's a game to be played how you wanna play it.
