Konemesis, don't play your game until I can figur eout what the heck is going on.

2) Eagles (7-7) @ Cowboys (7-7): Loser is effectively eliminated from postseason contention. With a win and a Falcons loss, either winner would move into the final NFC Wild Card spot. PREDICTION: Eagles 17 Cowboys 23

On the other hand, the 2 unsim reports in one month's time is enough of a headache that I don't look forward to seeing another.

In both occassions his defense was called out to be stale as well as the reliance on only Kellen Winslow or a slant from the opposite slot receiver. Whether this is a result of differing opinions of what's sim or something else entirely, it's best for the league to just go separate ways. I pointed out the issues, they weren't corrected.

As an active member in our NCAA league(s), hopefully ko can continue a long career and find success with his Mountaineers. And hopefully we can avoid any couch burning and rioting. Hope to see you around the forums. Thanks.

the_EDJ wrote:I understand you're upset. Mustard was in no way complaining about a loss. He has NEVER complained about losing a game in three Madden iterations. He could go 0-16 and still play the same respective game and be an active member of this league. I even waited until the next day to ask Mustard again whether his report still stands. He had plenty of time to cool off had that been the case. It's not.

This right here is my case of not being objective. Why did u only reach out to Mustard the next day & not Konemsis to hear his side of the story? Thats not objective as head person in charge at all! Ill listen to 1 side but screw the other, where konemsis's chance to rebute his alleged allegation?

Before Mustard made his complaints, I had already pointed out the issues I had with konemesis' play style, and I won that game, so obviously the issues were there and there was no "whining."-So lets ask all the other owners who beat Konemsis how his playing style was with them & how their Defense & gameplan slowed down Kellen b/c i havnt read any issues from them. This is called TRIAL BY JURY. Konemsis served his player suspensions, he did his punishment, the time YOU pointed it out and has kept playing without any issues b4 Mustard. Other league Members who has played the Tampa Bay Buc's please SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE on his playing style so that we as a LEAGUE can get a JUSTIFIED answer/explanation on this matter. There is so much GRAY surrounding this. He messed up before, paid the price in my mind thats a clean slate. Now your trying to add this erroneous claim as a 2nd strike your out when we all know its 3 strikes your out. I said these issues needed to change. Less than a month later, the same issues are present as Mustard highlighted. -Only person to so call "highlight" these issues.

Comparing a RB or DE to WR/TE is comparing Apples to Lemons to Oranges.-Your right I agree bad choice on my end. You have at least 5 targets in a passing game to utilize. -Why are we forced to throw to one of the 5 options if we dont want to? I want the ball in my PLAYMAKERS hands. Lesser skilled players are more at risk for a drop, fumble or interception which are gamechangers?

With fatigue having next to no effect in this game, #1 RBs get all the carries. If you have a lead late, big gains just break sometimes when you're running Dives, Powers, and Blasts.- C'mon EDJ i just played you & you were up by 30 points and did not sub out Matt Forte for Marion Barber or w.e ur 2nd RB is so go somewhere with that. Im reporting that to not be Sim-Style (ridiculous right?). The only player I played that subbed his top performers out was SteelPitt. He was up by alot & played reserves in the later minutes (kudos).

If you refuse to set up another TE or FB to help block a DE, that's on the offense and you know that cheed, you slant your lineman like I've never seen before.- Yup, your right i do slant my o-line b/c my o-line has contributed to over 30+ sacks this season. It seemed like a trend play the Seahawks avg 5+ sacks with 1 player! Ask the Falcons, Cowboys, Giants etc. So yea ur right im making an OFFENSIVE ADJUSTMENT (STRATEGY), im at fault? Am i just suppose to take the sack & punt?

But it is in no way respective of your opponent to exploit a hole that they are trying to cover. Having success with it is fine. But mix up and develop a broader playbook than relying on one thing over and over again. -Yes you are right, but also lets not forget that goes BOTH ways. Dont run the same Defense you are getting burned in. When you throw the ball theres SOOOOOO many chances to get a pick, incompletion or sack. Call a new gameplan man, this is so tacky. Im sorry I just have no sympathy for some1 whining about some1s gameplan. Like I said lets talk about the playoffs here. Im 2-12 no where near playoffs & im excited to see the outcome.

13 to 2 to 1 to 1 receiving is hairy as the only way ko has been able to be competitive is relying only on his slot player on a slant, or his TE and you can find that in any lobby game you play.- Yea maybe, but how many other players soley win off the NO FATIGUE RUNNINGBACK gameplan. How many players have RBs rated higher than Kellen that have thier CPU O-line create HUGE, GAPING holes for thier star RBs to run through without even having to make a juke or spin, simply just pressing up on the controller all game. Thats boring. A pass requires a USER throw & User Catch to make sure it doesnt get intercepted. USER over CPU is how to stop some1s playmaker. Again, comparing apple to oranges but both are still fruits.

Now had ko been behind and he had to pass the ball to catch up, if the distribution was more even, say 13 for Winslow to 10 to 4 to 3 to 1 for the others or something, it's far less than an issue in my mind because the ball was distributed.- Im just lost on why u tell ppl who to throw to or what plays they should run. We all have different gameplans which is our own team identity. This is what makes Madden FUN. We control everything. I guess we all should just use the ASK MADDEN button then, or only be allowed to use 1 specific playbook. Objectivity-you call your plays i call mine.
