Here I go....
1. We've gone over this and majority stated that playing basically as 'player lock' would be boring and take away the fun of madden.
2. No one is making their player gods. ...at least no one I play against (besides Julio Jones). Let's just sim every game of the SFL if we want no user intervention. This topic needs to end.
3. You have to switch otherwise you get burned by the offense 9x out of 10. By switching and User-ing the pass either you can get in good position to make the play or totally F up the play and give up a huge gain, thats the risk you run. You can't tell me Julio can catch pass after pass against Nick Collins, Charles Woodson, and Tramon Williams, all rated over 90, c'mon now. The ratings don't mean much and this is a prime example of why ratings don't mean much in madden. Karlos Dansby anyone?
4. And then...what about plays on the run, if a ridiculous rule were put in place Like the one we are discussing, is that just against passes or can you not switch players during a run play either?
As I have stated before, maybe once or twice have I seen some shady play but for the most part everyone's gameplay techniques are fine. What we have in this thread is a newcomer to the league without any experience against others in this league bringing up something that doesn't even occur in this league only on YouTube and asking to change rules...drop this topic drop this thread and nix all these ideas on rule changes unless exploits like the qb sneak, LB stacking, left stick juking, and other obvious exploits are found. If its just a gameplay technique that your opponent is using, let it be and figure out how to stop it.
P.S. My apologies go out to Julio Jones for bringing him up more times than Hue Hefner on his birthday pause.
