But, it's OUR video! And it has been RAPED of it's innocence and purity. It is now poisoned with glitz & glamour just like some cheap shiny "bling" to attract the masses that will dive in and study, research & disect the game to reveal it's every weakness and hole. WHY? You know why. So, they can go out and jump online and call all "2" plays of their strategy and exploit every game glitch that they found or that they read about. Why oh why...WHY don't they commit such diligence toward scholastics?? Honestly, how many NFL games have you seen that the QB drops back 30 flippin' yards?! This is the style that is common and accepted amongst these youngsters. Suffice it to say, they'll never become football coaches...that win.
Here! Here! I applaud this article. Nice to see some old dogs still fighting the good fight.
yeah... ea loves cheesers, the #1 goal in its development cycle is adding glitches into madden and other things that others can abuse to win games. icons disappearing after running back 15 yards, not putting in the wildcat formation after "anti-sim" heads were crying about it, nerfing user catching, no fatigue for defenders to help against no huddle offense, genius we can abuse that all day. ea is all "hood" they represent, put on for the cheesers. its not like they want the most realistic football game ever, Ian said no such thing.
