Someone on OS confirmed that OLinemen are still invincible because there are still no off the ball injuries. They can get hurt like last year if they pick up a fumble or something.

This Madden is gonna be the same as all the others. Lots of broken poo poo, money plays, tons of online cheese, a few things no one ever asked for, dropping things people liked, retarded AI and a line of people around the block the block to buy it anyway. A glorified roster update.

I hate this loving game and have for some time now even though I love football. It's motto should be "EA Sports: It's in the Game Eventually". The gameplay always deteriorates into something that barely resembles actual loving football. I posted about it in the PYF "Broken Games" thread somewhere around this page:

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3773100&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=8

This game has been broken for over a decade, but why fix anything if people pre-order it like lemmings every year anyhow? A fresh coat of paint on an old jalopy every...mother...loving...year. Can't wait to stand in line. EA doesn't even care and why should they?

The same posters here lining up to buy it will be the same ones clamoring for patches and fixes 2 weeks after its release when it's entirely broken and cheesers figure out the exploits. The glitches, freezes and online quits are bad enough without getting into the rest of it.

Seriously, and sorry, but what do people like about this game?

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.

Boy sure can't wait to play against this guy in the league.

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?

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
