What is Sim ballin?

What is sim balling? What is allowed and what's not allowed? Can you user catch? Can you set up nanos?

Is it just not take advantage of the AI?

Everyone has their own definition of ''sim'', mine is :

A bunch of cry babies that don't know how to adjust...

of course glitching is not included in this...

[snaponic]

the problem i have with sim is its so subjective.For the last 2 years i have given up on sim leagues, just not fun too much whining.

[jimmyjam070]

exactly. when and when not can I user? I don't understand it

[jimmyjam070]

what's up with the eafl? I'm so sick of online play. I need to find competition elsewhere, not that there arn't good players online, there's plenty that are probably better than me, but there's too much cheating. do you know of any other leagues or competitive play?

[jimmyjam070]

what do you mean by glitching tho, RC curls or like qb walk. Or deep posts or like qb morphing into the centers butt? or like FG blocks

"Sim-balling" is making up unwritten rules that cater to your own skill-set and whining whenever someone breaks these unwritten rules.

That's sounds very smart! If you have to play that way then play that way. Sim players play a style that's close to real Football, so yes, I won't FB dive you all game, or QB sneak out of the goal line all game long. Yes its in the game, but you don't have to play that way. If you need exploits to win, its up to you.

Being sim in madden is a huge grey area.What is,what aint?If u do something that couldnt or wouldnt happen in a real game its not sim.Like putting Chris Johnson at fb or having ur entire o based on screen passes.I mean with glitches like the center morph or qb walk it shouId be common sense they aint sim.If u dont know most of the things that happen in real football either hit up utube or get another game...or learn how to rc really well lol.

Sim is NFL style play you see on Sundays. I have a lot of respect for sim players because they compete with out exploits, I don't respect the ones that whine. If Sim plays Tourney and loses without questioning his opponent tatics and chalks up the L then you got to respect the guy. But I've seen a lot of cases lately where tourney style ballers are question other tourney style ballers............. are we serious? I thought it was funny. I've noticed most of the good sim ballers have a far better understanding of real football. I want say they play with they're own unwritten rules because at some point we all do its just like a tourney baller upset with a sim baller for running drag routes all game thus meaning the tourney baller has unwrittten rules concerning drag routes. My thing is you play your game and Ill play mines. I hate sim players that whine as well as tourney players that whine out of all people.

Well, there's stuff I don't do. In 09, I rarely FB Dive. I never RC or roll-out deep post either. In 08, there was stuff I didn't do either. Back in 05, I didn't use the studda much - and if I remember correctly - your studda was one of the nicest. You were known for a sick nano too. If I'm mistaken, I apologize. I was old school MA, before Gamespot ruined those forums.

This post isn't meant as anything more than a little ribbing, but the following advice you should take to heart. Play your game and let your opponent play his. Don't ever let "cheese" or "exploits" rest as your excuse for why the game didn't go as you planned. You have no power over your opponent's gameplan. The only control rests with your own. I see nothing as "cheese" or an "exploit" because I see the game simply as it is.

Personally, I want every opponent to be at their absolute best - and for them to be at their best - they must use every weapon their gameplan has developed through. I'll never belittle anyone because they play differently than I do. Instead, I embrace all good competition. I want them at their best. I'll work to be at mine. That makes for the best games.

[jimmyjam070]

it sucks that nanos aren't sim cause I became a fan of trying to create good nanos

[jimmyjam070]

what about rolling out to one side of the field and then throwing it to the opposite side of the field and the dudes wide open, i feel like every sim baller does that, that seems like it's taking advantage of the ai

Your right I was sick back then but I stop playing Tourney style or Glitch Ball and grew up and went back to work, hey it was hard work, working on exploits to get my madden game tight. so i decided to start to play for fun, by playing for fun. It allows me to not work so hard to find plays that you cant stop, and enjoy the Eb and flow of the game you know the "X's" and "O's".

I respect the X's and O's style, but I won't look down upon any style.

I get the most fun by playing players of all different styles. Some of the most fun games I ever played were those old MA brawls. I didn't know any sick nanos - and I didn't use the studda - but I wanted my opponent to use anything he felt comfortable using. Those games were awesome because everyone brought a new and refreshing challenge to the table. That's the same outlook I take today. Do what you do - and I'll see what I have for it. No predisposed rules; let's just play.

Sadly, 09's playbooks are so generic - and playmaker is so limiting - that exploring the full dynamics of the game through creativity is almost impossible. The game was great early in the year, but it peaked early. No intricacies are left to explore. Creativity in 09 has hit a dead-end, at least for me anyway.
