So who decides what is authentic?
Watch a game of football, that will show you what's authentic. No one decides it. I personally have never seen Donovan McNabb hick the ball, run straight backwards 10 yards waiting for his speed receivers to get open on a slant or crossing route everytime...
there's a saying in football: "speed kills."
Ya, these are the type of things coaches say to the media when they don't want to get into the specifics on what's truly going on out there. Speed kills? Tell that to Ted Ginn and the list of other WR's who had great speed and did jack ****.
So I mean you can call it cheap just like I could call running the ball 30 times a game cheap in reality.
Running the ball 30 times is cheap? How so? I don't think the issue is how much someone passes or runs, its the way they go about it. Your idea of running the ball 30 times is cheap is not based on reality at all.
In real life, if you were a head coach you would definitely find a way to exploit your opponent if you knew they had a weakness (like a lack of speedy corners, or weak run D).
Ya, its not as simple as simply my guy is faster than yours, therefore he beats the man in coverage everytime, as is the case in Madden. Also, zone coverage can actually be effective in real life, QB's are alot less accurate on middle to deep range throws, and scrambling around is alot harder.
The top 5 receivers in yards right now are
Brandon Lloyd
Reggie Wayne
Roddy White
Malcom Floyd
Austin Collie
How many of these guys are considered speed burners?
