Coop my man, waaaaassssup stud? Man, I hope I never face your thumbs and index fingers in an online Madden duel.... Jeeeeez, you sound like the Bruce Lee of M13

.....
That having been said, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PROPS.... I actually thought of quitting on the thread a few times, but it's wingmen like you that PUMP me up and re-energize my creativity....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU....
I mean it must take something truly innovative, fresh, simple yet efficient to get a Madden Veteran like yourself to even consider dropping some prose on us plebes.... I am definitely not worthy of your company
It is funny that my approach to the game is very similar to your "house rules".... I don't like "game planning/choosing my own plays" when I play... I take the role of the player with the rock, or the defensive player ready to lay the wood on some poor soul.... I know that if I choose the plays myself, I have the advantage on defense of knowing what their formation is and the competitive spirit in me will choose a play to take advantage of the CPU.
On offense, if I were to choose my own plays, the competitive spirit in me would overwhelm me and I would pick a few "cheese" plays in critical situations so that I could pull out the win...
And like yourself, I don't hot route, I audible a draw to counter a blitz, or throw a play action if I have a fullback or second TE in the original formation to block the blitzer...
The only part where I deviate from your approach is when I am either inside the redzone, or if the CPU is inside my 10 yard line... At this point, I go to conventional play calling.
Once again, thank you for your support, it's a cool feeling that a super-stud skiledl veteran like yourself, would take the time to praise my humble endeavor....
I hope you stay active with the thread....Peace
Keep playin'! Keep postin'! Keep Maddening!
