So saying that I must "play Madden with my eyes closed" isn't insulting my intelligence of how I perceive the game? Ok, whatever.
And if the facts were the ratings don't matter, then how do you explain being able to rush ball effectively and/or have time to throw in the pocket one game vs a team with an average defensive line, and then not be able to run the ball and/or have to resort to 3 step drop passes in the other because your offensive line can't keep the ends off of you?
And I have acknowledged your opinion. No I haven't watched the video but I'm not discrediting what you are saying either. You say the ratings don't matter due to a video that you've seen, and what you've experienced first hand when playing the game. I have provided the reasons as to why I feel that ratings do matter.
And I don't have a video of a DL dominating an average OL in my videos right now, but the moment I do, I'll be sure to share with you and claim it as fact, since it happened.
