He's just another youtuber looking for hits at this point. As far as my other point, the difference between something is wrong and the game is broken, I see you skipped it.

Again, we disagree.

Your other point, I didn't ignore it as you are suggesting. I skipped it cause I didn't see a need to respond to it. But I guess, it would depend on just how wrong before you consider it broken. That may be subjective.

You still trying to sell me a bridge in Brooklyn?

Also, tbh, I think this should have been very close to a sack. The back on the blitz side should have been in protection anyways and if they are going to slide protect they should have been sliding to the numbers, which is where the CB was coming from.

Fair enough.

I'm not going to call it broken but what EA has to stop doing is coding the game to successfully compensate for things the user overlooks and the A.I if it is not smart enough to protect to the numbers then it should not have miraculous animations to help it out either.

Does he? Maybe I need to look at it again, but that deep in the pocket that close? I don't see a cut attempt. Although maybe a late one from an angle in an attempt to re-direct or at least get the defenders hands down as opposed to getting the defender on the ground?

Don't really disagree. However the users will need some help. If you don't let it compensate for some user overlooks, let's face it, you're going to alienate 90% of the audience. Let's also face it, a large majority of people who scream for realism, don't really understand the concepts you're talking about and would also get frustrated.

We've seen it in a similar vein with injuries. They put a realistic number of injuries in the game, and people scream that there are too many injuries. Realism is great for most, until it becomes inconvenient.

Yes. This is what I was trying to describe.

Yeah i got you. I watched it again, it's still tough for me to say, but I think you are right.
