How EA Should Handle Matchmaking

Well, madden is football but its also a video game. Is call of duty like real war? Is GTA like real life? Is NHL like real hockey or 2k like real basketball? They are not. Its not REAL football brother. Youre going to have to learn how to deal with certain plays that people abuse.

My point is you dont need to run RPOs and use glitch plays to score. You do need to learn to stop them though and then use your football knowledge to score on offense.

The difference is that GTA doesn't claim to be a representation of real life. COD doesn't market itself as the only simulation war game. Madden does. When you own the license to the only SIMULATION football game, but football iq doesn't matter, people have a right to be upset

We can throw out COD and GTA and stick with sports games. NHL is nothing like real hockey. 2K is nothing like real basketball. Madden does a fairly good job. Yes, football IQ matters but its not the end-all-be-all because its a video game and not real life. Try running a man blitz every play and youre going to get burnt for a TD, just like real life. Or try running a quarters defense against a goal line formation. Its not going to work. Did you ever play NFL street back in the day? Now THAT was nothing like real football.

This is my last reply on the matter because you people just love to complain and im tired of wasting my time. I could care less if you hate it or not. The game is not what you want it to be and thats too bad. But for the love of god stop acting like other people are in the wrong for liking the game. We can agree to disagree on the matter. Feel free to keep pouring your heart out online. There is literally nothing you can do about it. EA owns the license and they can do whatever they want, while making a shit load of money, and thats just a fact. If you truly care enough to make a point then get yourself and everyone who agrees with you to stop buying the game. If you get enough people behind you then maybe you can make a difference. Most people (including yourself) currently like the game enough to buy it.
