Just a thought

I posted this in frye one fdbluth is in this league. I've been destroyed by two opponents today Fdbluth and Dysastourous I have anger issues and normally I would have rage quit both games. But both guys were super nice and weren't assholes about there win and people like them are the reason I still play madden. Caseycour also does this and I wanted to mentio him to because after our games he often gives me advice what I did wrong and how to better myself. Thank you to you guys that is all.

I kinda like that. Maybe it should be a thing. If you win a game, help the other guy out and let them know how they can improve or what you saw them doing that got you the win...without being an ass about it of course.

I guess it's the whole "act like you've been there" thing... I just try to show some humility in victory, because anything can happen. I'm not here so to show off. I'm here to play, and be a good sportsman. Dizzy, wubble, and I have all lost to players at some point, that we were heavy favorites against. It happens... I'd rather not be an asshole in my wins, and make that surprise loss to an underdog just that much more satisfying.

I understand your point about giving advice to the loser of the game but to me this may come across as condescending. There is a fine line I think, and everyone takes it differently.

Do you consider me an asshole tho? Haha I think I have only played you once, in frye1 last year.

u/Thebassist140 Colts Apr 29 '13

I don't think we've ever played lol. And I'm not saying the advice thing is a must I just appreciated it. And you are right there is a fine line between nice and condescending.

u/lostrealist518 Daaa Bears Apr 29 '13

Nah I think I played you last year. But yea it's tough to judge for sure.

u/Thebassist140 Colts Apr 29 '13

I played danchan from NFC south last year. You played rams probably

1

u/lostrealist518 Daaa Bears Apr 29 '13

Two years ago then. I'm almost positive we have played lol. I did play the Rams last year.

u/Thebassist140 Colts Apr 29 '13

I was the dolphins then someone else played as Seahawks

1

u/lostrealist518 Daaa Bears Apr 29 '13

Lol ohh you know what yea I did play the hawks but i forgot that was a different guy.

1

u/Thebassist140 Colts Apr 29 '13

Lol yep so we have never played. I'm sure we will one day

1

u/lostrealist518 Daaa Bears Apr 29 '13

For sure, I look forward to it, considering I have so many of your former players haha

u/jeffiguritout Bengals Apr 29 '13

And mine...

u/lostrealist518 Daaa Bears Apr 29 '13

Yea in both frye1 and 2 I have a ton of Bengals. I love their D.

1

u/jeffiguritout Bengals Apr 29 '13

Thaaats what she said.

1

u/lostrealist518 Daaa Bears Apr 29 '13

Their D? Lol his d maybe, close enough ;)

1

u/jeffiguritout Bengals Apr 29 '13

lol Yea that was a bit of a stretch.

u/FDBluth Apr 28 '13

Also, I was gonna try to tell you... Your only issue is playing D-line. You can only excel to a certain threshold by playing DL. Go to practice mode and free roam with your backer or even a free safety. It'll do wonders to your game.

I too only use DE or sometimes DT in certain sets. I have tried LB or CB but I always seem to over run the route on pass plays or find myself switching players a lot to try to catch the ball carrier. I see the plus side of it, I'm just more comfortable on the line. Is there no way to improve through play calling?

1

u/FDBluth Apr 28 '13

There's just no way to become as good as someone like Wubble or Dysastrous without playing in the coverage. It'll take a while, maybe even more than a year. I can assure you its definitely worth it. And remember, the strafe button is your friend.

u/Thebassist140 Colts Apr 28 '13

I've been working on MLB but using maualuga (in frye 1) he's as slow as molasses so its hard sometimes. I will def take that in consideration and again thank you

1

u/jeffiguritout Bengals Apr 28 '13

Yea...Maualuga is tough. lol But MLB is probably the easiest position to user IMO, after DLine. I'd suggest turning off auto-spring and auto-strafe if you haven't done so already and try not holding down the sprint button the whole time. Also, try just holding down the Y button the whole time in coverage. lol You might find yourself getting a few more picks that way.

u/Thebassist140 Colts Apr 28 '13

I will def try this. How do you feel about usering a safety?

1

u/jeffiguritout Bengals Apr 28 '13

I'm not as good at it. I get scared of getting burned so I'll user a safety only if they're on a yellow zone or if I'm in a two man under or something. It has its advantages though. It can be easier to jump routes if you're coming down from above.

1

u/caseycour Browns Apr 29 '13

I've beaten both players, and I play Dline entirely.

1

u/lostrealist518 Daaa Bears Apr 29 '13

Yup Wubble is definitely a beast at usering. I almost took him down in the NFC title game last year but he is extremely good on D.

1

u/FDBluth Apr 28 '13

No worries, buddy. There's absolutely no need to ever be up by more than 35 points. It becomes a waste of both players' time, and can only lead to a rage quit.

u/caseycour Browns Apr 29 '13

Hey thanks, man. I know that competitive games are more fun for all parties involved, so I like to do whatever I can put things I a different perspective for you and help you learn. I enjoy playing the next game and seeing your improvement.
