Eagles user needs to be fined 50 points for blatantly breaking a rule…he delivered his own fine!
Reality or Overreaction: Reality
As per Eagles user post October 8th, 2023 at 7:02 P.M. est
“Going forward any non-established penalty for breaking a rule especially new rules will be -50 content points by default:
Okay…so we have a member on the commish board who just stat padded his way to a De’Andre Swift dev story, knowingly play a game with 10 superstars, when the limit is 9. He was fully aware he needed to remove one player from superstar status, and did he, nope. Why is he allowed to cheat, yet people make innocent mistakes, or just mistakes that do not nearly hold the weight of playing with too many superstars, and he gets away with it. Eagles user needs to look into the mirror and realize historically he has been one of the biggest cheaters our league has ever had. And we are supposed to respect and follow his lead? Do we remember the time he cut a stream vs a cpu? Or when he deleted bets in the sportsbook when they lost? Man the list can go on I just dont want to get off topic. This needs to be reviewed and he needs to be hit for 50 points as per his post. If it doesn’t, that would be some unfair stuff.

Eagles user is using a known glitch play to win games
Overreaction or reality: Reality
I put on the Jets Eagles game this morning and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. A fregin commissioner exploiting a very well known youtube glitch play to score touchdowns and stat pad his running back. This was the #1 glitch play of madden. Best of all he is using it in the exact glitch format. Waiting for contact to the QB and pitching it off- it is nearly unstoppable. He ran that play about 5x vs Greeny! For touchdowns! He ran it vs Vet for about 2 or 3 touchdowns, or big plays. Eagles user is a commish and needs to set an example to the rest of the league on how to carry yourself with integrity on and off the field. This is just plain out cheating and he is being rewarded with superstar devs and free touchdowns. Why is this particular commish allowed to exploit a well known glitch to win? This s*** is crazzzyyyyyyy :::Drama voice:::. How is he getting away with so much cheating, yet playing hallway monitor and coming at all us? Who is checking his a**?

People will never respect HD as commish
Reality or Overreaction: Reality
HD has pinched the nerves of a lot of PML members in his long PML career. He has a reputation to be a troll and focus on certain users he dislikes. Since he became commish some people have accused him of abusing power, say he’s a hall monitor type of guy, ect. Basically saying he’s never had power before so he will take it out on us. I personally don’t think it’s completely fair to him, even when being the messenger for JT he gets the hate. That leads me to believe some people just don’t like HD and never will. I’m not sure if this will affect his commish role or if JT doesn’t care. I think HD has been a solid commish so far and people need to ease up sometimes. If he starts muting people crazy or really abusing power then start the witch hunt, but if he’s just doing his “job” and following JTs orders… I don’t see the big deal.

Stick skill is dead as we know it
Reality or Overreaction: Reality
Before this cycle there were certain users you feared in the open field because of their stick skill. Hypemike for example he was able to stop on a dime and make the defenses miss… and it actually took skill. Fast forward to this cycle, the juke move is so overpowered. People who ran on conservative all last cycle are now running around juking every single play. It’s borderline unstoppable, week 1 70 overall Achane was juking out 90 XF Derwin James… it’s terrible. Some users are really abusing it as well, they literally juke EVERY play. They sometimes dig themself in a hole and will have a wide open lane and still juke. Everyone feels the same now, juke juke juke… the skill gap in “stick skill” has closed severely in my opinion.

HYPEMIKE
The Texans are the only rebuilding roster that is competing.
Reality or Overreaction: Reality
Let’s really look at it. There are a few teams that are under 79 OVR. We consider these teams in rebuild mode based off of their talent level and overall real life outlook. The Houston Texans are far from being a team in position to make a Super Bowl run. However, Keraun is shocking more people than ever. He has them playing like a top 5 team in PML. Now let’s really look at it. What other rebuilding teams are competing. Have we ever seen another user compete with a terrible roster like this since Cook or Hypemike with the Lions? Speaking of which, Cook is another team that could be considered in rebuild mode that is competing. This isn’t a knock to these teams, but the Bears, Broncos, Raiders, Cardinals, Panthers and other rebuilding teams are not competing at as much of a high level as these guys. Now this could be because they are valuing team building to make a run in a later season which is smart, but doing what Keraun is doing is harder than you would think, and not many users have competed with subpar rosters like this in a long long time. I feel like this needs to be more talked about in regards to user skill level. Many guys have fallen off as their teams did as well….this has not been the case for Keraun.

The NFC is getting competitive.
Reality or Overreaction: Reality
The NFC is looking more competitive than people probably thought it would be. We have various teams doing well and there is no clear cut conference dominating team right now. In the AFC, I feel like it is pretty clear the Chargers could very well go undefeated. On the NFC side of things, many different teams have dropped a couple games, we do not know who the 1 seed can be.

Cowboys will win NFC East
Reality or Overreaction: Reality- Dramaman and the Dallas Cowboys have started out hot and currently are atop the NFC East. While the offense is far from explosive, their defense is a nightmare for OCs, headlined by pass rusher Micah Parsons. The Dallas defense ranks #1 against the rush, and #2 in points allowed. Even after a very odd tie in week 5, Drama finds a way to remain undefeated. With the rest of the division struggling early, Drama has set himself up in a great position to win the East and get into the playoffs.
Cook always tanks year 1
Reality or Overreaction:Overreaction- Cook can officially silence all the haters who were predicting a season 1 tank “as usual”. Even with the worst team in madden, Cook has found a way to start 5-0, including two huge division wins vs both the 49ers and Seahawks. The offense has been explosive under HC Cook McVay, ranking 8th in PPG. Rookie WR Puka Nacua has made a huge impact on the offense hauling in a team leading 29 catches. Over the next 3 weeks the Rams play 3 teams .500 or below. Cook may very well find himself undefeated at the midway point of the season, something no one expected.
