The Sweatiest Win

phatalerror said:

Incessant Mid-Blitzes, and he'd back off them when I burned him, but it was always his most effective defense. It was a five-possession game, barring his final failed kick return attempt with four seconds left after I went up 15-14 on a two-point conversion (he went 1-2 on his attempts).

I was never going to stop him on offense. Just stupid physics-defying nonsense with the speed boost. My W simply came down to not getting terrible RNG on top of all the glitchy offensive line penetrations he got even when I was having to keep six and seven in to block. Not that I didn't get bad RNG, but I never got it two plays in a row.

All of this just to get to 4-2 on the Event. My opponent was absolute trash when it came to strategy and tactics, but he knew the glitches. It just shouldn't be so hard to get a win when the opponent's best ability is being Usain Bolt. But there are people out there that think this is OK. Just makes me shake my head. Life is easy when you're a cheater, but every once-in-a-while, the cheaters get what they deserve. If only an L Without Honor cost a soul more than a simple L.

First off congrats on the win. I read this post and droblunts post and it got me thinking. While folks definitely learn how to exploit the game flaws, i don't think you can put blitzing every play and speed boosting in those categories. I don't know too much about ranked but i beat a guy today that had a blue logo next to his name and several players up to 99. He ran gun bunch and man blitzes nearly every play and i think double vicks on offense. Wasn't my easiest win but don't think he did anything to cheat the game by playing that way. Were some aspects annoying? Sure but i figured out a way to win. Just like you did. I could be totally misreading and maybe the guy was exploiting like crazy but some of that is just part of the game. I just saw Seeve get flabbergasted by Hex...stuff happens

Mugging with your user to glitch out the run-blocking or pass-blocking assignments is flagrant cheating. He pulled an accumulation of smaller things. If someone's running Mid Blitz every play, they're not doing it because it's good football, and if I'm keeping in six and seven to block, and just one of four actual rushers are busting through off the get-go, it gets stupid.

This stuff never happens in the NFL because the mugging linebackers would get destroyed off the line on persistent run plays if they had to stand up to the offensive linemen play after play. But the solution for this isn't even sending more personnel to the gaps, but just to place your defenders so that they are invisible to the offensive linemen, and therefore they can shoot the gap.

Oh yeah that stuff does suck, but sweaty victories are possible. Its drains the life out of you and its absolutely not realistic football but thats on EA. Not trying to give you a hard time at all

what scheme do u think I run and out of what playbook?

It might not take skill to copy a video but it takes skills to make the right reads and adjustments with said plays from the videos. what also takes skill is situational football

I'm not bragging at how good I am, my friend happened to bring up my record and I was updating them to what I had done that day. 

also the people that post those videos want you to use them. its not stealing their work when they are making it for the public to use lmao

keep hating, idc

I'm not trying to hate on you.  Its more a product of I hate this game this time of year because 9 out of 10 games all I see is the same offensive scheme, and I only see 3 different defensive schemes.  Makes the game extremely boring.  Your statement of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" is what has gotten us to this point.  I have waaaayyy more coins than I can spend and a stacked team with 5m in ZC LTD's to quicksell.....point being I don't care about the rewards, I don't care about my W/L.  I just want to play the game for entertainment purposes and playing the same YouTube scheme over and over is not entertaining.
