It was there where I learned that you are expected by your opponent to quit when you are down three TDs, saving time for both of the players. It has been presented as a code of conduct. Is that wrong?
And I’ve got the impression that bad player strength matchup is hard to overcome by clever gameplay, that the value of your players really matters. So if you play an opponent that is way better equipped with players than you are, is it reasonable to continue the game? Does it really teach you something beside just that, that player strength values matter?
Most of us hardcore madden players have seen it all. Most people seem to be good at button pushing and while not actually understanding football to some extent and I’m knocking those people. However people will either quit the game or leave leagues cause they expect the computer to do most of the work for them. But the honest truth is it comes down to looking at it like a chest match which very little can do. Am I the best at the game. No not at all. But I enjoy out thinking my opponent and of course the occasional madden luck. I feel like most people can’t handle losing which is the big picture, and don’t want to learn how to get better or work on adjustments on things to make them a better player. But I just feel there is a lot of sore loser now a days. Maybe it’s the newer generation or maybe it’s just becoming contagious of the gaming community, lets not forget about sportsmanship has gone down the drain as well.
Granted finding good people for leagues and rank games to actually enjoy the game is like trying to win the lotto.
That’s why I created a league back in 2009 to present. To bring that kind of mentality alive. I mean **** in my own 2 cents no one likes losing. But its how your rebound and or game plan. A chest match of calling the right play and some luck makes it seem more real. And gives a more gratifying experience.
Stick skills have a lot to do with sore losers. Guys who have mad stick skills are some of the most cheesy gamers in leagues (this is just my opinion).
I have found that leagues that have banned user catching and user picks. Starting the play on defense as a down lineman with no switching players while the pass is in the air seem to have much happier members.
This also brings the”chess game” to the for front of the game.
