Why is it so dangerous ? And what other reason would someone have for attack someone who user catches or attempts to make user picks ?
Why is it a problem when someone accuses users ( the ones that don't condone switching) of lacking the skills to switch to the closest player ? In all likely-hood, someone complains about a tactic ( calling it cheese or unsim) if it's effective, and they think that it's an unrealistic tactic. Otherwise, why complain ? Why complain about your opponent switching if it doesn't help your opponent win.
Maybe the people who don't switch just don't want to switch; they want play as the defensive end, linebacker, or safety the entire play, but the fact that they accuse others of cheesing, or being unsim, reveals that they're sore losers. That's not any better.
Here my answer for you: outside of coach mode, allowing each player to act within the limits of their ratings ( by not controlling them) is impossible. These people who don't switch on defense are still controlling a player ( and possibly making him perform better then his ratings suggest he should) when they're on defense; they're also controlling one player or more on offense. They're passing with the QB; they're running with the HB, or they're running with the receivers after the receiver makes the catch. Even if they let the CPU control the running back and the receivers, they're still throwing the ball with the quarterback. QB is the most important position in football, and maybe sports, so are these switch detractors (according to themselves) really as sim as they think they are ?
They want to pick apart somebody's defense by controlling the QB, but at the same time, the user on defense isn't sim because he combats that by controlling players ( in coverage) that are closest to the ball. You don't see the hypocrisy in that ?
If these switch detractors want to draw a line in the sand and say that controlling a player isn't sim, they need to look down and realize what side they're truly on.
I know that, but "fun" makes people buy it. The fact is that the majority of people don't play coach mode, or don't only play coach mode, and want to be involved in every play.
The thread is into response people who attack users for attempting to user catch/pick. They denounced my play; I'm denouncing theirs. The gave their opinion; I'm giving mine. The only one struggling to tolerate someone's opinion is you.
