Madden Etiquette
Gents,
Our dear brother Al has accused me of "whining" about some of his Madden tactics. They include, but are not limited to:
* Bleeding the clock the whole second half
* Squib kicking on every kickoff to take advantage of the game (often times the player A loses control of the reciever, allowing the player B to retrieve the kickoff)
* Toting around the same playbook with every team he uses (I, personally, don't think it's cheating but it does present him with an advantage. He denies any advantage associated with playbook familiarity, that's why I put it here)
In any event, can anybody else, aside from me (his arch nemesis) shed some light on how real men play sports video games? Or at least hip him to the word "gimmick"? I would like to rid myself of having to play pu$$y-ball for '07.

starting with the first offense. it's a video game. why would anyone want to sit in their living room and watch a clock countdown. granted, if money is involved, it's permissable. but "playing for fun" isn't much "fun" when all you do is watch a clock wind down. i call that being a straight biyatch. i have NEVER bled the clock on a video game that wasn't for the scrill, never have / never will!
can i get a "amen"?
Fellas Fellas,
Its not a matter of running the clock out, its more of a ball control tactic. What opponent A wants opponent B to do is to throw the ball up for interceptions. I ain't about to do that.
In a regular game, if a team has a tailback that can't be stopped then they always pound or some may say beast the defense opponents with the ground game. This is not a form of cheating.
Now I feel like its me against the world. That's fine!
For your point Walt- it will be friendly if we did not talk trash about it later on.
Walt, I'm with you. I play the cards how they're dealt, using the default playbook. In some instances, the defensive playbook can be switched from say 4-3 to 3-4, but I stick with the default Offensive.
Tyler, last second field goals in Tecmo isn't cheater. But is certainly isn't manly!
Al, having an unstoppable back is one thing. Taking a full 40 seconds to figure out which run play you're going to use is absurd!
Count me in Walters circle.
Back at you Ruf.
Sometimes you get like 30 or less seconds to run play and you never get 40 seconds fully.
You either got to figure out what the next play is going to be. It ain't like its a coach or offensive coordinator calling the plays for us.
Now holla buster!!!!
Someone please shut this dummy up. Al, please take some time to learn the game before speaking on it. The game of football means alot to the people on this blog and patience runs thin for the ignorant! can i get a "amen"?
Now, before you continue to stupify yourself further, there are only about 4 basic plays you can run with your backfield. If it takes you 40 seconds to figure out which one I apologize. That would that you're not bleeding the clock, but that you're just a dumb MF. If this is the case, please pardon.
Really Ruf,
I really want to hear others speak about this.
YOu and I have gone through every possible aspect of this subject, I need to hear other opinions besides yours.
Playclock starts out with 40, by the time plays are selected then its less. IF you running a motion offense it runs the clock down more. That's the game.
Don't hate the player, ask for lessons!
You have in the past, and I have taught you. Especially the hurry-up offense. Remember that busta!
I am really done with you on this subject Ruf. You can't handle the heat.
Tyler- Mike Vick is an advantage, but its not cheating. People catch up to him after a while.
i usually spank people using mike vick. he has an unfair advantage (over-rated), but people don't use enough of the other players to make it effective.
To clear up Al's lesson: Long ago, when the game first came out, I asked "hey, which button do you press to hurry-up?" Al replied, "the triangle".
Thanks a ton for all of your valuable tutelage, oh wise one. If I can ask another question; how do you spike the ball? You wisdom is infinite!
one more point, ITS NOT A LACK OF FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE, ITS MORE OF STRATEGIES AND TACTICS TO VICTORY.
to add to Rufus last comment, without facing a penalty. He forgot to tell you that part.
gentlemen, what we have here is a man who cannot discern winning from victory. Let me lay it on the line for you, oh ignorant one:
Winning is having a higher score at the end of the match.
Victory is playing your heart out and having the higher score at the end of the match.
If you bleed the clock in a game that has 4 minute quarters (yes, 4 minutes online), you can only claim a win. Not a victory.
If you cannot see the difference here, please unsubscribe from this blog.
One more thing on that note. Al refuses to play in "All-Madden" mode online. How pu$$y is that?!
I think you sound contradictory with these two statements Ruf:
"Winning is having a higher score at the end of the match.
Yes of course winning is higher score, so if I am using a ball control method to win the game, then I win, and I have met my accomplishment which dominoes to victory. Don't you think!!!?
Victory is playing your heart out and having the higher score at the end of the match."
Overall, I overcome the opponent in both manners. Therefore, what strategy I use is really irrelevant.
You always got something to complain about. If it these items that you posted then its Byron Leftwich, Brett Favre. All of us know that Leftwich is not the greatest, and neither is Favre, but he is decent. So what am I doing right when I throwing nearly 200+ yards a game with him.
Really the last few games I put on you with the JAgs, I did not run the clock down. So what you got to say for yourself now? I used a better team than you did. Just like you do with Chargers where there is an unfair advantage with Antonio GAtes and LT. EVen Brees is on the money with his passes, you don't hear me complaining like you.
As for All Madden, yes I do play all-pro, and I have never really practiced with anyone to play All Madden-that's my defense.
When you get over here, we will be playing ALL-MADDEN.
everyone, sorry about al's outburst. instead of shunning his, admitted, cowardly acts, let's rally around him and develop him into a man.
As for his rant on how he "put it on me", allow me to counter with a single highlight.
I have beaten Al with EVERY NFL team on the game, using the default playbooks.
Shhhhhhhhhhh, do I hear crickets?!
Yes, you have Ruf beaten with every team, but this is prior to when I upgraded my offense.
So now what?
Now I hear all the whining......
To add you was not using the default playbooks. YOu used the SD playbook. That streak you run came from SD. That 's all I got D for that now.
Let rephrase that last sentence.
That 's alright, I got D for that now.
i agree, bragging rights are fine. But how many times would you play if all you did was watch a winding clock? at what point does one say "i ain't foolin with you no more, it's no fun."
and, for the record, i'm the dominant force on madden. i'm not speaking from the "i got my a$$ whooped" point of view. also, when invited to play for the $crill, Al declined. You know why? the dude has NEVER won a game with something on the line!
At this time I'd like to give Al a special thanks for the Maggianos that he treated me to because i whooped his tail on madden, it was a treat!
Yo Ruf, I ain't backing down because of scrill. I just did not want to put anything on the line anymore. I am already putting things on these fantasy leagues whenever you guys want to get it going.
Also, I pay up all my bets and your welcome because I owed to you for my loss and you winning. (Yes I said you won, so that goes to show I am not always pounding the clock like he says) So what's all the gripe about then?
AS far as these laws are concerned, I really don't think I put you at any disadvantage anymore of coming back. Can you at least admit that? Lately, have I really been pounding the clock? Ask yourself that question?
I am really done with this subject, but you know I always got to have the last word. Especially, when you calling me out.
PeAcE!
Al,
Who do you think you are, Jerry Springer? You and your "final thought".
Here's the final word, "win". All of this talk is for not if you can't take down the consistent dub. On average you play 5 games for every 1 game I play. You'd think a 5:1 ratio would help you. Especially since all those games are played with the same playbook! At the end of the day, you're just not good enough. Good luck in '07, weak dude.
