I didn't break any NDA I was under just hinted at things, but yeah that's what I was supposed to do before I put in my notice. It got put together by my buddy and should work great.

Also yeah the xp gains are done instantly in the middle of the game and you can easily tell what was boosted and what they did. It's a neat little thing.

Make sure your address is up to date if you played a lot of MUT in 16. Our own Dubious got a free copy of Madden 16 a week early from this program last year.

Yeah I knew people would be happy about it and do kind of enjoy telling people more specific details on things. Sometimes wish they wouldn't really care and would let us freely talk but employees have been burned before. Thankfully while you all are loving mental with your MUT playing, everyone has been chill over the years.

If they would've given me the promotion I deserved then I'd still be there, it was just time to move on since I got this opportunity in England and had to jump on it.

Lol @ not running two FS instead of FS/SS in madden

put tyrann mathieu at SS or Atwater or literally (any FS that can hit hard as gently caress when you user them)

I end up subbing in a tall cover CB (6'3" Sherm ayyy) at that position 75% of the time anyway

get over it and win more games. if some guy is just trying to 4 verts i can throw sherm in and put him on the TE inside and the let the lb play under for the int. poo poo worked way too much. never underestimate the power of the double man cover w/ the FS/CB shading over to help your CB1 or CB2. Style points aren't gonna make up the difference you get for swapping in the player for the right plays. If you're playing someone smart you can fake them out this way as well. Madden meta game is why I keep buying this loving game. If you guys knew how filthy my i-form plays with a speedback subbed in at fullback, two huge wideouts, and a fast slot receiver subbed in at TE2 you'd play out of position all the time.

I love playing OOP Poe at FB, especially on passes to the flat. He gets ignored and open, catches the pass and builds up a head of steam before crunching over some poor corner.

Don't worry, like i said before, none of that is relevant to SASFL. If someone is playing a player OOP in an exploitative manner like that every single down, I will write a literal novella. One of the many reasons I don't play pubbies or mut


E: This doesn't mean I have a problem with using trick plays occasionally. IE DT at FB on goalline or whatever, etc

Like yeah Marquise Goodwin at TE2 is a no go but Danny Woodhead actually lines up at fullback so is that kosher for league play?

None of that silliness is kosher in league play. We specifically have league games to avoid gimmicky stuff like that, that's what we play MUT for. If we're talking ~league sanctity~ we should keep that to the league thread anyway :v:

Its a case by case thing. Doing something gimmicky for a drive is not the same as doing it every down all game every game. It's a matter of not purposefully exploiting the game engine (too much) imho. If you want me to be more specific I'll post in the league thread , because no one sane wants to see THE LEAGUE IS SACROSANCT essay

HB at FB is probably one of the lowest priority things. Obviously not convertable WR at TE has been an issue

Nobody has a roster deep enough for it to matter. You wanna gently caress your hit power for better zone coverage and make your CB 2 or 3 your CB 4 or 5 thats on you.

No. It's the WR at TE that is the issue

hth

And doing something once a game isn't the same has having a scheme predicated on gaming the system. Which mut/pubbies is clearly about
