Styles of Play - Realism

[childslovegame]

Guys,

Let me first say that noone's style of play has all the answers that we look for in something called Realism! This hobby is fragmented with guys with great ideas on how this game should be played. Maybe that's why there will never be unity in our beloved hobby, because everybody's right!

Passing: I like the RR system with dice. Is it realism when a coach completes
90% of his passes? In all styles except the RR and LA system, this
can happens all the time. That's why you can predict who's going to
win based on who has the best TT Pasing Skills. Base tweaking, all
you have to do is to hold off defenders long enough so your
receivers can get open. No strategy, just skill! I was told that the
Miggle Champion ran the same formation, the same play during his
championship run. But if that's the way they like to play, have more
fun!

Weight: I like the liberty of having 300 lb. LM. Unlimited weighted allows me
to do this. For Realism, unlimited weight is it. If you want
to put restrictions on how much men can weight in your league or
tournements (3.2 or 4g), you can't say you're playing real football.
But again, if that's the way you like to play, have more fun!

The Strategy Divider: Love it! But the boards are too small. Now, this style
allows more creativity on offense. Defense have to be
on their toes. It's exactly what it's call Strategy!
There's some realism in this style. Have fun!

Buzzball: For a long time I didnot like this style of play. Coaches have to
announce before the beginning of the play if they were going to run
or pass. This bothered me at first because nobody explained the
rationale behind this rule. In real football, does the QB have the
option of changing the play after the ball is snapped? NO! He comes
to the LOS, reads the defense, change the formation, and or play,
but not after the snap of the ball. If your style give coaches that
option after the snap of the ball, you're not playing real football. In
football, you call the play, and that play is runned. There are no
options! Now, I understand! If you want options, have fun!

One-Stop, Pitch,Pass, or Run:
Almost everybody's favorite and mainstream style of play in this
hobby. Perdictable! Skill Driven! Little Strategy Needed! Needs less
preparation once skills are mastered! Number of plays per quarter or
half dictates the need to score quickly with the pass. Bases does
the work. Guys love to see bases fly! Small size boards allows the
defense to use the sidelines as a 12th man. If you love it, play it
and have fun!

To create unity in the hobby, take a little from everyone, and you're come up with the best way to play EF with true realism!
