<t> Sim option<br/>
<br/>
This is a niche game for simmers, customizers and play/profile makers. Real sims is one of the biggest things missing from madden. Unfortunately game designers, including apparently David, underestimate its value to PC gamers. The good thing is David's willing to listen ...

I'm glad he tweaked it, but yeah its a bit too far. When a 19 PPR QB runs a lot thats expected, but I had a game with a 97 PPR QB where he ran more then he passed. Just needs a bit more tweakin'...

Heh, if you figure out what it is let me know...I could use that as a substitute for the slow sim option I keep asking for [;)].

Good stuff in that post. I thought of the OL blocking as I was about to hit the sack last night. I'm amazed that the coaching staff actually alerts the NFL's statistics service on this type of call. Almost 30 years of watching football and I thought I knew it all...

<t> Good research again antmeister. Not sure why people have to get so pissy on the boards, we're just having a friendly debate.<br/>
<br/>
I'm curious to figure out how in the heck someone would know whether a play is a designed run and not just a busted play. There has to be more to that -9 yard ...

<r> Just wanted to correct some crack smokin' official that was quoted in a previous thread (that was locked for other reasons).<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Wrong....if it is a designed draw play, it is not counted as a sack. Check out this old archived file at NFL.com: <br/>

Heh, and in that thread David also didn't comment on the sim method...I don't think that's a good omen for the chances of this feature in the near future, but I'll add a begging smiley just it case it'll help [&o]

<t> While not as important as a slow sim using real game physics, I would like to see a hike to hike mode put in the game. Basically, the huddles are removed and the time it takes for the huddle is subtracted off the clock. So the ball is snapped, play run, then players are on the line of scrimmage ...

<t> I was almost postive that David said when the graphics were turned off he had it down to about 5 min per game, but he thought that was still too long. 60-90 min would be nearly worthless for me since it doesn't take much longer than that to actually watch a game.<br/>

I do hope we get ...

<t> Have to just add a ditto....<br/>

The main reason I was excited about this game was the prospect of "real" sims. I don't care if my league stats aren't quite like the NFL, but I do care that my watch/played games compare to the simmed. Thats one of the biggest drawbacks to Madden, and ...

<t> Hall of fame and accomplishment tracking would be great and hopefully easy to make by a 3rd party. We used to use the stat calculator with FBpro to determine who made the probowl and put an '*' after the player's name for each probowl to track it. Hopefully, somebody can make something better ...

<t> Didn't have luck with any of the patches zowee...each one broke something new while fixing something else. In many ways the game was closer to finished before they started patching.<br/>
<br/>
The ini files were awesome, so I'm really happy the hear that we'll be able to alter stuff on this ...

<t> For me, what will separate this game from Madden 2004 (the newer maddens are tough for custom teams) is the 'old/real' sim like FBpro. A sim which doesn't include the plays and physics of the coach/watched game will be a disappointment. I think a lot of the community interested in a career mode ...
