What is the most recent version of Madden that you have played:
M17
How long do you typically play Madden for (a few months, during football season, year round):
9 months
What does sim football mean to you:
Playing like they play on Sundays. Not taking advantage of AI glitches or exploitation. Mixing up play calling on both sides of the ball, not taking advantage of "money plays". Running your organization as close to real life as possible.
What interests you in joining a sim league:
I have been involved in PX1 sim leagues before and the community is something that really made the game fun. Watching competitive madden competitions frustrates me because it is the same plays over and over. Sim leagues force you to mix you plays and replicate real football and it makes you a better madden player as a result. That mixed with a community of gamers that also want to get better creates a successful and enjoyable madden experience.
What interests you about joining OUR league:
Being involved with PX1 before, I know firsthand the type of people that are in the community and the work that is put in to the leagues. Their innovative additions to the game, like RedZone and play by play commentary make them the best PS4 league on the planet and it is somewhere I want to be again.
Would you rather win for follow every rule perfectly:
I want to win but I want to win by following the rules. This is an area that I feel I was not mature enough to understand in my previous stint with PX1 and it is something, if allowed back in, I would commit myself to. In order to get better as a sim player, you have to follow the rules designed for a sim league and that may mean taking some Losses along the way.
What is your opinion on breaking records in a sim league:
Breaking records should very very rarely happen, if ever. I actually had a situation in my previous time with PX1 where I broke the single season rushing record and was disciplined for that. At the time, I was really angry and upset at the situation because I didn't feel that I had done anything wrong. In retrospect, I could have handled the situation much different and gone back and looked at what I could have done different. (Ex: backup getting more touches, pass to run ration, etc).
How often do you run routes like outs, curls and comebacks:
I use out routes more than curls and comebacks but I really strive to mix up the plays as best as I can. It is something that I need to improve on and ride the difficulties that comes with calling an even distribution of pass plays.
What would you do if you were told you broke a rule after a game had been played:
In the past, I probably would have got angry and complained, but I feel I have matured on that front and would handle it differently now. I would be calm about it and apologize. Then go back and watch the film to see where the violation was committed and if the evidence shows that I did, I would accept the discipline and strive not to make that mistake again.
How would you respond if you were suspended for breaking a rule:
Again, in the past I would have more than likely been upset. Rules are in place for a reason and everyone has to follow them. Like anything else in life, if you break a rule there is more than likely going to be discipline. Rather than getting angry, I would accept the discipline and examine the mistake in order to figure out how I can improve and not make that mistake again.
Could you create a team Twitter account and tweet 5-6 times per season about your team:
No Doubt. Very Active on Twitter
Would you like to create team content like season previews, team articles, etc:
Not my favorite thing to do but I have created some good content before and would in order to create a more active community
