The Abomination that is Madden Nation

[Joey P]

LOL...PhillyRon from the acclaimed VG Sports, whats good?

Now all we need is Michura, Kobra and the rest of the VG/Madden guys and this forum would get blown off the hinges!!

Welcome to OS and dont talk strategy, you'll be considered a cheeser over here.

Although, I agree, them guys hoppin up and down and all in someone elses face, hell no. $100k on the line or not, Ill achieve personal satisfaction of watching blood ooze outta a guys lip from me wackin him with the LT of a 360 controller.

My beef with the show isn't the clothes and their styles of clothing and haircuts. Just thought it was funny and it is to me atleast.

They take cheesing and gimmick filled gameplay to heart. And its sad and hilarious at the same time. I dont care HOW hard you work. They work hard at gimmick gameplay. I wont admire that kind of work/dedication/persistence/whatever.

Wassup JP. I just trying to give some info on the guys that are being talked about. I hate how the show portrays these guys. I mean if I go by CreatineKasey that means the NFL caters to a bunch of couch potatoe drunks. I sure as hell aint one of them, but I do watch the games. I dont drink beer and never have, yet I have to sit and watch programming that parades half nude women and Coors or Miller Lite. Sounds close to WWE, which I don't watch either because it is disgusting to me.

Im not pointing fingers at all, I just know a whole lot more about the show and the people involved then most, and felt that the more knowledge a person has, the better decision they can make. If a person has something set in their mind, it really doesn't matter.

Another thing to think about... these guys know that a punch can get you knocked out of the competition, so I wouldn't be shocked if they're hoping that they get annoying enough to where their opponent throws one and boom, easy win.

As always, Philly Ron is on point. But still, Captain up in Dynastys face at the MC was pathetic. He should have gotten knocked out on principle alone.

Thats NOT the show, THATS THE GAME! And when the game changes, and becomes a complete SIM (aka Simulation of NFL Football) than Each and Every one of these guys on Madden Nation will change their game to adapt. That is 100% fact.

While I do agree with your assessment of knowing the players and the TV portrays them differently.

The problem lies in many posters not understanding that not all Madden players are playing the game for fun, they are playing to win.

Madden Challenge, to some, is a goal once the game is bought. Not too many people, who participate in the MC, play fair, they are playing to win.
