Who doesn’t? Might as well have fun, and a few laughs, while playing a pre-determined and scripted game I’ve already paid for. Don’t see the problem with this.

Found a great example of scripting.

His emphasis was on "winning", essentially by any means necessary. In the OP he literally illustrates the strategy is trolling the opponent. You don't have to like it. Just remember we're talking about a video game. When Y'all lose your collective **** he's essentially trolling you too.

Well, for one, he's wrong. You can't beat people who are trying to win that way.

Second, when his success is based on "trolling the opponent" I think it's a perfect time to step in and stay that this is behavior that isn't condoned by OS.

And three, what is wrong with people that like the game, and are enjoying it, from defending it from people who don't play the game, but are still taking shots at it 6 months after release. If you don't like that people are defending the game, then maybe don't post about it and read the forum. This is a pretty simple solution to avoiding what you don't like.

I've never played that competitive of a game against someone so highly ranked in online H2H.

If he had Talib on his team he isn't a good player

What? Why can't you?

I didn't know OS had legislative "power" (so to speak) over how individuals choose to play Madden 18. As he said, he payed for the product; He should be allowed to use the product as he chooses.

No where has he openly advocated cheating, modifying the software/hardware to gain an unethical advantage, or anything of the like. If anything, making derogatory statements towards another OS user like the example below would warrant consideration from staff here considering violations of the TOS.

Excerpt from OS TOS

Quote:

Flaming, Bashing, and Trolling Hate posts and personal attacks will not be tolerated on the Operation Sports boards. Treat others on these message boards as you would expect them to treat you. Talking trash about another user is a quick way to earn a banning, as is posting topics specifically to provoke a negative response (aka trolling).

He has been entirely civil with the user base throughout this hilarious discourse. Even though I joke that he is trolling, his interactions with the board within this thread are not evidence of actual trolling. He has said nothing nasty nor has he picked on any individual. For example, he certainly hasn't used what could be considered a misogynistic slur in an attempt incite anger.

This is actually cute.

Why not consider your own statement (Bolded) and apply it to yourself?

This thread has run its course so I'm closing it.

Thunderhorse: going forward, please use the report post function and let the forum staff determine whether a poster's behavior is a TOS violation. Public call-outs are neither wanted nor helpful.

JayhawkerSTL: going forward, please be more thoughtful in your word choice.
