Will we get flagged for high stepping into the end zone? I heard that was a rule change for this year, and it is 15 yards from the spot!!

Re: flagged for high stepping?
There's only one type of high-stepping this year(pointing to the crowd) so I'm pretty sure that would probably be the only one allowed IRL.Boston Red Sox

Re: flagged for high stepping?
doesn't this rule change take affect after the season? Anyway, it is a very dumb rule and both NCAA and EA need to calm down with wanting players to be lifeless and unemotional
anyways, I higly doubt you will be ABLE to do anything illegal, at least like this.Comment

Re: flagged for high stepping?
Yet when EA focuses on a "swagger" setting in Madden people chime in that it's stupid etc...

Plain and simple, let players play. I guess the NCAA wants players to be mindless puppets for the audience *shrugs*Steam:Merecat

Re: flagged for high stepping?
It's not being emotionless, the rules are simply meant to prevent taunting other opponents. It's a good rule because at the high school and college levels taunting can sometimes bring retaliation, and retaliation can come in the form of late hits or other illegal things.
I don't know about you guys, but when I played football and someone started taunting my team, that person suddenly found a huge target on their back and I would be lying if I said I didn't look for them on the field.Comment

Re: flagged for high stepping?
"Swagger" in Madden is a rating for celebration occurances etc.... So in this discussion it's pretty much the same.
He said EA needs to allow emotions yet when they actually put in a rating to somewhat enhance/upgrade or whatever... people complain.. so again this fits this discussion....Joshua:

This might be off-topic but I absolutely HATE the celebration rules in the NFL and soon NCAA.
It was all harmless fun and I still have no respect for Joe Buck after getting all up on Randy Moss.Comment

Re: flagged for high stepping?
They probably won't ever program the game to have the rules as the are(or will be) in real life. I think that they can correctly assume that most people who buy the game enjoy seeing and reenacting that kind of preening peacock behavior, and would be upset it they got penalized for it in a game.
Personally I love the new taunting rules, and can't wait to see someone cost their team a game by acting like a clown, even if its a player on my team.
Somehow folks have got it in their heads that not showing up an opponent means being turned into an emotionless automaton. Thats nonsense. There are a thousand ways to celebrate your and your teams success that doesn't involve bush league behavior.Jordan Mychal Lemos
