[quote name='n8rockerasu']Well, if you're asking for an honest opinion on the subject, I think QBs are too fast and too accurate on the run in this game. That kind of stuff should be reserved for a few special players (Vick, Newton, etc). But people do it with scrubs all the time. If that is dptang0's play style, why do you think he switched to the Raiders? Is he going to do it with Carson Palmer and his solid accuracy? I doubt it. Most likely, he's going to use Terrelle Pryor. Pryor SHOULDN'T be good enough to be successful in the NFL playing like that. But this is Madden...
Rolling out and throwing across your body back to the middle of the field works more often in this game than it should. To me, it makes the game more arcadey. Some people might dig that. It's just not for me. But it's a video game, and none of EA's sports titles mimic the real thing very well. They're all programmed by people who think they know the sport and think they know what the people playing the games want.
That's how we end up with things like "Fight for the fumble!", "Real team introductions", "Goalie fights", "Glass breaking", and other stupid shit that has nothing to do with gameplay. They all have "isms" that clearly remind you that you're playing a video game. The worst thing is when those "isms" become go to plays to where people stop playing it like a sport and start playing it like a video game.[/QUOTE]
I get that. A lot of QB's can do some damage on there feet in the NFL too. It's not that crazy for a QB to get 3 or 400 yards in a season, and I don't think I've ever seen someone break 1000 yds with a qb in an online franchise.
It just seems like people get mad at it when it works and don't say much when they beat it.
And the real reality is, it is not that easy to do in this game. I challenge anyone to just decide they will run with there qb and pull it off consistent enough to actually WIN games with it.
I put some work into running with Vick and Newcomber, finding the right plays and audibling the blocking correctly takes practice.
It's not like you can just run everytime and have it work and not fumble, you will lose.
