Admission of Being Wrong

[Falcon17000]

I've been loud about how inaccurate passing seems to be, and blamed the game on All-Madden for being weird.


But I am a journalist in real life. And one of the core tenets of journalism is admitting when you got things wrong.


I didn't realize I was playing on Placement + Accuracy rather than classic controls. So all of my horribly off target passes can be attributed to me just playing badly with the new systems.



So I was wrong, and I apologize.

Hey man, nothing wrong with being wrong sometimes. Glad you figured it out and can enjoy the game more now.

I've been playing Classic passing (previously used accuracy) and I've been amazed that for the first time in years there's a clear difference between good and bad QBs.

Prime example of why we shouldn't scream from the rooftops that "THE GAME IS BROKEN"

In society and video games, it's why we can't have nice things.

Thanks for fessing up, but who knows, maybe the damage is already done...

This isn’t fair.

Kudos to OP, he didn’t have to say anything at all and no one would have noticed. I don’t like the idea of making this out to be anything but a positive.

Same - my admission / review is in the impressions thread, and I always use Classic passing. I'm just old school and want as few buttons as possible, haha.

He didn't do this. He was active in a few threads but always engaged in discussion about the trouble he was having. It wasn't the typical agenda posting.

There's no damage. I guarantee absolutely nobody made any decisions about the game based on his posts.

How are you getting along now with classic controls? And who knows, may be you'll decide to return to Placement + Accuracy in the future.
