Re: why is sim a curse word in this game??
I think the first step to make Madden a real sim and truly great experience is to make it fun to make that first guy miss. With that mindset, a 2-yard gain can be a rewarding experience. Perhaps deep-throw accuracy needs to be toned down, too. Perhaps logic is a better term to use, although I admit I'm not a computer programmer.

Re: why is sim a curse word in this game??
I also look forward to the day that a top flight kick returner means something because of his ability to use the oncoming players momentum against him. Right now Madden isn't about stick skills based on timing, it's about knowing how to game the game's poor control against the poor player locomotion. Hopefully all things player control and locomotion will become huge priorities. Time will tell......

Re: why is sim a curse word in this game??
Simple answer is not everyone finds playing sim fun. Some people want to onside every time, or got for every fourth down, or even use money plays. It's there $60 let em play how they want.
I just want a sim ranked lobby so I don't have to deal with them online. |

Re: why is sim a curse word in this game??
I'm going to assume by "sim" you mean "true to life." Since I'm sick and tired of being called a cheeser for running a true-to-life 90's style Run N' Shoot + 46 (specifically in the model of the '93 Oilers), I feel the need to rebut several of your "sim" criteria.

That said, FIFA still has some wonkiness on occasion too.

Re: why is sim a curse word in this game??
"Specifically, how Manning and the Colts — for thirteen years — ran the same tiny little cluster of plays, from the same tiny little cluster of formations, with the most consistent personnel in the league, and brutalized NFL defenses year-in and year-out. " Again, still play variety. A cluster implies multiple. You don't have to call from the front and the back and everything in between to have a varied offense.
In fact, if you did one or the other too consistently, you might become too predictable and get stopped on both 2nd and 3rd down.
On the other hand, if I have a 90+ AWR OL and QB - there should be a marked difference - and there doesn't seem to be. That's a problem, imo.
Some things that work and exist in real life amount to AI...if not exploit in the classic sense, the AI is not able to deal with it as well as it needs to, and certainly not as well as players in real life. If I User blitz a LB "who's not supposed to blitz" (i.e. the play has him in man/zone/spy/contain), the OL often ignore him. In real life, there's no such thing as "not supposed to blitz". Yet in Madden, there is.

Re: why is sim a curse word in this game??
Also, on a tangential note, I have a problem with FIFA being touted as the model for sim Madden to follow. In the Madden world, "sim" is defined by most as strategy-based gameplay designed to reflect real life. FIFA, on the other hand, is sorely lacking in the strategy department, and entirely based on stick skills. The best FIFA player I know doesn't even use tactics. At all. I see what's being said about the animations, but at the same time, physics is not all that's needed to make a sports game. I'd rather play something strategy-heavy like Football Manager or -gulp- Madden than something like FIFA any day.
