The whole sim thing has grown blurry for me.
I always considered myself a sim player. but what I don't understand is why people constantly whine about play calling.
My idea of "sim" ball was simply playing fair. people deliberately glitching the games with things you simply cannot stop were people I was trying to avoid. That's really why I stumbled on sites like this one. I've played in a few leagues and I won't lie, just about every game I've won I've dealt with complaints.
I always ask them, "How?, How am I cheating? what am I doing that you cannot stop?". And the reply more than often is "you keep running sweeps, you keep running outside, you call the same defense every time, you keep running sweeps.".
I've always kind of been a "take what you can get" type of guy. So I kind of watch how the defensive guy wants to play and I play off of that. I feel like I've got a lot of stick skill and that helps me a lot. but the main point is, a lot of times I see people blitzing. when I See that blitz I already know a sweep is going to pop it. I don't understand why guys wont call other defenses. why not run zone, even man if you're desperate? Instead, they get pissed, call me out and make me look like I'm doing crazy shit.
Basically I'm being told "SIM" Ball requires me to ignore the fact my opponent has called a weak play, it tells me to not shift my tight ends and wide receivers to get mismatches on the los, it tells me not to take advantage of weak playcalling tendencies of my opponents. in addition, it also compels me to cease running defensive sets that look to hide their coverages, despite the fact that these sets are completely legitimate, no cheezy nanos or crazy shit like Vernon Davis at Middle Linebacker with Calvin Johnson at Free Safety.
To be honest with you guys though. I already figured it out.
We just got some salty mf'ers here.
