Adrian,
Respectfully submitted.
The first thing you have to do is understand that you are doing this. Most people mark really close but your opponent wants to make sure that mmillimeter is addressed. I particularly joined the shootout format because if I could correct deficiencies at high speed then it should not be a problem in the future. With the help and support of Norbert, Simmie, Jimmie, Steve, and Greg I have been working towards a positive end to my situation. I specifically named these people because they understand that I am not trying to cheat to get an edge, it's just something I need to work on without all the haterade. AB, you beat somebody 35-7, 28-6, and that's all you hear about is one missed pivot, or your safety being up too close on a play, then it taints your win.
Simmie-Recognized that I didn't have nothing tacky on my quarterback. As he watched me pass he noticed that the quarterback slid when I pulled the arm back to throw. I simply did not end where I began. Moreover, my passing stats, 1 for 10 with 1 int against Greg (lost-6-0), 6 for 24 against Nobert (got lucky and won that game). I added the tape, good tape, placed the quarterback inside a box, and promptly hit 70% of my passes. The fact is that some people would have rather see me slide because it threw off my passing. Not these guys. I was also rushing because my misconception was that time was my enemy, not targeting. I consider this problem resolved because I do not pass without the approval of placement by my opponent/referee. Hatas' are always going to use this as an excuse for losing, you however have a greater responsibility in addressing it. I'll touch up on that aspect later in the post.
Jimmie, Norbert, Greg-Be in my **********! Thanks guys.
Norbert noticed because I rush so much that with the magnet or dial adjustment players I would lift them before replacing them with the man then come back slightly off. What Norbert and Greg would do was when I picked my man up they would put their fingers down on the spot so if I felt I was getting a bad spot then I would leave the man down until he is replaced. Keep in mind these are my opponents and sometimes you have to trust them to make everyone comfortable. So my recommendations are:
1. Get the support of people you trust, not haters, to help you get better.
2. Do not pick anyone up without sliding someone in his place.
3. Have a universal method for everyone to turn their men. It's not just the person you accuse. Again many people do it subconscientously, including you. Just because some people convey the attitude of close enough does not necessarily mean that it is being done correctly.
4. Institude a pass box for everyone, again universal, to insure that your eyes are not deceiving you.
Who says the accuser is always correct? What's unnerving and stressful for you is that you want to be such a good sport that you are actually enabling people to do the wrong thing by not addressing it immediately. It's bad because you are building stress, which you obviously don't need, then dealing with the problem in a tense manner. That is not good for both sender and receiver from a communitictive perspective. Moreover, I never respected anyone who would wait until they got their ********** kicked then say something after the game. It sounds more like someone crying because they can't accept losing rather than someone constructively trying to address an issue.
I tell you I played a guy one time who virtually stacked his men, shot gaps, cheated on passes, and pivoted five yards over, not a yard or millimeter, five yards over. During this same game I placed the ball where they wanted me to each time. I still won big and was still accused of cheating.
So which one are you? The constructive one or the after game hata? Now AB, I know you are not the aftergame Hata', but if you do not address these issues immediately and take action to correct it, then you are part of the problem and not the solution.
This matter for some, specifically you, is a microcosm of a bigger concern for me as it relates to how you handled the matter. Specifically, the tension and stress is unwarranted and becomes inter-directed due to your procrastination in addressing issues. Buddy, friend, this is more a life issue for you because the behavior translates to other areas such as job, home, etc. This is a hobby. That holding stuff inside until the dam burst is called stress. It kills people through strokes and heart attacks. Get that stuff out right away. You owe it to yourself.
Hope this helps!
