    Question I can't RC. Do I need to inorder to win Ranked?

    I can't RC. Do I need to in-order to win Ranked games? I've tried, I've read the forums, watched the YouTube videos, watched and read the VG Products filmroom, and E-Books.

    Can't do it, can't do it.

    Plus I added this poll.

    you can win without it. No matter how hard they try to cover the ENTIRE field, they can't =).

    No , you don't need it , there are even some good tourney players that don't use it. Don't get me wrong , its a great weapon to have, but you can def win without it.

    It's ironic that this is the first thread in the sim section....alot of sim guys are gonna call you a cheeser lol.

    To answer you question though you don't need it. It opens up your O a lot though when you can get a free 15-30 yds anytime you see 1 on 1.

    No. You don't need to be able to RC to win. But you better have an answer because even if you don't, other people do.

    No, you don't need it to win. But like others have said it is a great weapon to have and you need to at least know how to stop it.

    As far as it being SIM goes, I think it really depends on how you use it. If you are rocket catching curls and outs because you know you can catch it against 3 defenders in the area, then no, it isn't SIM. If you are rocket catching it because it would go out of bound otherwise, that's SIM to me.

    To me, anything that you do because you know the AI won't cope well with it isn't SIM.

    you don't need it to win, but it is a valuable tool to have when you need a score. Trust me, I can RC with the best of them, but what separates a top player from the contenders are two things....Stick skill and SCHEMES...work on a good scheme and you will see that even the best of the best will have a difficult time stopping you. As far as the RC goes sometimes your QB just is plain not accurate with a throw and it is an easy pic, but it is great to have as a last resort.

    yeah but not with the 100% consistency that you get in madden. i mean, a really good player with great RC skills can make it happen every single time. that's just not realistic. and i think that's the problem sim players have with it. i think they feel like it shouldn't be happening every single time no matter what the defense does. now, part of it could be that they just can't stop it. so that's the counter-argument.

    like anything, to me, sim players just don't want to see the same thing every single play.

    LOL calm down sour...you know that people with no stick are gonna complain about this. As for calling man and that stopping RC, well that is not entirely true. What I like to do is have some fades or streak for RC but I will also have one of my receivers running a curl route. If they play man then forget the fades or streaks cause it won't happen, but the RC curl route absolutely kills man! They always think they have it covered then I click on move him in front and snag that sh1t with an RC...This RC absolutely deflates the other player cause they know they don't have a shot after you complete this a couple times a game.
