"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.
