Its just that no matter how good I am at stopping it, there are plenty of times where it does me no good and it just doesnt go my way at all. I run into 4wr snugs and get the mesh or the deep slot streaks and its money, I lab a counter with some help form you a some guys over at TGL who were having issues aswell (most cheaters know how to counter there own mess) and I learend to stop it without any of the gimmicky-ness involved. but I would say 2 out of 5 games I am completely shutdown from something I just stopped the previous 3 games. Its like hit or miss or maybe its the teams im facing that give me the most problems. It should all be rectified with some of these new features im hearing about with the passing game. But it kills me when people initiate the over the shoulder catch animation at will and running close I counters with high school sized WRs blocking linemen and LBs better than the guys that get paid exclusively to do just that. But you gave a good explanation on what im looking for as a response! It just doesnt show when I play over at VG or anywhere else for money, those guys from TGL, when they play and beat me, they bragg about it and post about it, but its all good to everyone else there on how they achieved there win and barely at that!

when facing strong I close counters (or any run from that formation but espicially the counter) try this...

43 Over Plus - Cover 1
shift d-line left
crash line right
contain left of screen DE
blitz spied LB
User the deep safety

*the only adjustment u need to make here is to shift the d-line left. what you will see happen is the DE on the left of the screen will break into the backfield BLOWING UP the runs from strong close. this DESTROYS the counter. this is a great overall run defense based on the alignment and the overloads/fronts it creates.

my suggestion for the other things you are facing is to bring the problems that u are seeing to me and i will see how i can help you remedy what you are facing.

also get into the lab after that game and setup what you were seeing and see how you can counter it not only with coverage but with how you can sneak pressure in as well

keep on fighting

Meh... All talk I this point. We won't know anything til we actually play it. Sadly. We really can't buy into too much of what EA boasts .... Ever.

With defensive holding, I was referring to the defender making illegal contact with a receiver beyond 5 yards, which is not in Madden. So if I was constantly intentionally making contact with receivers beyond 5 yards with a User controlled player, what would happen to me in tournament?

As far as the forum goes, yes there are probably all kinds of things posted. Some things that are even glitches, I don't know because I cant possibly read all the threads. I was referring to our products. We don't sell glitches. We sell football strategy.

A majority of their reason for banning me was for my point of view, if I cant agree or understand their point of view, then im the outsider and all eyes on me whenever I post. Its always been like that.

If we are all not on the same page in this community then the divide will get greater and it will forever be tarnished. For all those so called efforts in trying to get EA to do something about these cheap tactics, has anyone ever went to VG and told them to put rules into there series events and matches?

Were there any rules in the NY event that was just a week or so ago?

VG doesnt believe in rules or that there are glitches in the game, so I am inclined to say no.

But as you guys are trying to put it, competitive and sim are one in the same and if not then what is the great divide between the 2 really about?

If you unbanned me thanks, some of what you do over there helps me help others from trading in their game which means more comp for me and others who enjoy online play. I dont mean to insult or bash, its just too childish for people to keep that level of play existing when everything is there at your disposal like Big F said earlier.

It seems the desire to win at all costs is the only thing on peoples minds when I get enjoyment from losing as I learn from those losses to make me a better player.

are you talking about manual bump n run coverage?

show me video of you running into a guy everytime, knock him down, and not get PI.

or just in general show me the video. i wasnt aware it existed to the extent you are talking about. if thats the case then it should be fixed. link me to the video

Most likely nothing. If it was an issue that was considered serious going into the tourney it would have been banned but that is the first I've heard of that being an issue.

Anything that's ever been considered a super glitch has been banned at tournaments. The tournaments are like a brotherhood or a fraternity, we look out for each other, help each other, and try to have tournaments so that it's even for everyone. If anyone is interested in seeing the tournament side from a different point of view, I'd love to have a one on one chat with anyone from the site on Xbox, and explain that while our schemes may evolve some cheese there's a lot of NFL stuff in it. We can ever play a game and I show it to you, things like the Flat/Slant out flood, or the Corner/Streak flood. My gamertag is Adjuss and I wouldn't mind showing you guys the other side off the fence.

Bump and run coverage beyond 5 yards from the LOS, would likely draw a defensive holding call in the NFL. Let me call it illegal contact or illegal use of the hands because I don't want to get into semantics. However, the fact is, in Madden I can bump and impede a receiver's route all I want because that penalty is not in the game.

Also that penalty does not require putting a player on the ground in the NFL.
