    Who said Madden is and/or should be a "tool of measuring morals"?

    And pepper spray got the idea of what I was trying to say. I don't think that people who just toss curl routes all day should be put in the same boat as an ethernet cord puller, I just think it makes the game more boring.

    I think most of you people are getting the wrong idea that this is a cheater hater thread (although I can definitely see how it is). The thread was basically an observation, that I will concede was inspired by frustration, that I noticed from my recent experiences playing Madden. Even though the FG block glitch, the ethernet pulling, the stall glitch, etc. have been known in the Madden community for years now, for some reason it is becoming far more prevalent now than it was four months ago. At least it SEEMS to be from MY experience playing Madden. Obviously as one player I am a very small sample of the entire Madden community and can't make such a broad generalization and expect it to be 100% accurate, therefore I'm posing the question to you members of Maddentips.com to see if it is true. Hence the name of the thread is a question, not a statement.

    i know Madden isnt about morals, but if you cheat it shows that you dont care how others feel because your playing against a real person not the cpu

    Amen. I don't get it it, some Madden players must have some real personality issues. I've been playing about a year and half and have gotten "fair." No stick, still can't read coverage worth a darn but I gotten good enough to win at least half my games. I remember learning and being blown out by guys, 40+ to zip. So now when I am up by three td's, I basically run every down and punt every 4th. there is no need to crush somebody that is obviously the lesser player.

    But I still run into peeps that will try to score with 30 secs on the clock and a commanding lead, or going for 2 after every TD. I could be generous and assume they are just practicing at my expense, or maybe they're trying to let me learn how to defend against their scheme. But my suspscion is that a few of 'em have got "issues" and want to grind their heel in your face. But the way I was raised, that's not sportsmanship.

    And yeah, it is a video game but sportsmanship transends the game...whatever it is.

    prrrrrrreeeeeeeeettttttttty sure no1 cares what your stupid *** thinks bud.

    anyway, u get what u give, if u send em a message like "good play" or "nice catch" and just give em there props when deserved instead of saying "your mother", you are less likely 2 get glitched 2 to the fact that the human nature isnt cruel, just when it has 2 be and feels ones superiority at stake, think about it...

    No amount of trash talk justifies cheating. Err... I mean "no one cares about what your stupid *** thinks bud".

    The problem this year is that there are only a handful of strategies that are used regularly. I have people come out in SB- 2 TE and run their slam, then run a post or corner to their TE, then do it again. It doesn't matter what I do... they are gonna do that up and down the field. Now, sure, you stop it. Most of the time it doesn't become an issue. But it just sucks that people have devolved into needing three tricks to get them by.

    I will grant that last years game was a little silly at times, all with the juke glitch, nanos, and the over-effectiveness of corner routes. But generally speaking you ran into more strategies.

    This years high pass takes away from the strategy. Toss it up to your TE... forget the three guys who are covering him. That is lame.

    Now, Hangtime, you go ahead and do your preachy, high road bull****.

    I know firsthand that DNF% doesn't mean anything. If you play some loser and with time remaining, he pulls the plug, discos or you get bounced from the server, it goes as a DNF. Also, if you play in a tournament or quick tournaments & your opponent either has a weak arse connection or cannot connect, you will feel inclined to jump ship from that tourney. If you do, yet again, your DNF is impacted. I don't think there is a way to guage if a player is for real or not until AFTER you play him. If he runs the same BS defense, high curly ish or does any other funny stuff, then you will know then.

    I think EA should allow one account with 2 names and thats it. I think its probly worse on PS2 then on Box. But over all I can't stand the direction most Madden sites have gone. Its all about beating the pants off the other people online. It should be about having fun and promotion good sportsmanship.
    Great attitude .... but it's not shared by many. I was reading the thread about what crosses the line and the definition of str8 balling.... sooo many posters felt that playing str8 was just an excuse to lose. So pathetic to see people want to win so bad they'll do anything.

    the built-in ranking system promotes the win-at-all-cost idea, and the fact that EA doesn't patch any of these glitches doesn't help anything.
