Power Rankings S1 W5

disclaimer all of the records are what i found while making this article may be different come time it is posted

  1. Chargers (10-1) – Brady and company seem to be dominating and i do not see that changing anytime soon, i expect this team to stay in that number one spot for most of the near future
  2. Falcons (7-3) – Hexied and Ebok cheesin it up as Pork likes to say they had some controversy this past couple of days but i see them being able to turn that around and stay in this two seed and potentially knock the chargers out of the one seed.
  3. Eagles (6-4) – Swaggy recently traded his GM away for beast while I’m not familiar with one line on this team I do know koolaids tiger and farah will be a tough line all season and swaggy and co look to be another line that is really good
  4. Packers (7-3) – I can’t believe I am putting a blunkey owned team in top 5 but his line of wagboys and Larrylarry seem to be DOMINATING and are able to carry blunkey to this spot can they keep it up or will their backs give out?
  5.  Bengals (5-5) – Joka i know is a really good QB him and brady seem to be the best QB’s in the league and solo is putting up great passing numbers but doesn’t seem to be translating to wins maybe he should try managing the game a little more and keep his defense off the field
  6. Chiefs (6-4) – not familiar with many people on the team but they have the chiefs and i saw someone did a highlight video for clamps and his user skill looks to be top tier based off those clips. I have faith in this team
  7.  Cowboys (6-4) – vengeance and north’s line look to be doing work they just need to figure out the other line and they might be on too something soon!
  8.  Saints (6-4) – not a great madden team but they are getting things done! Wace is killing it! Not having a true punter puts them at a disadvantage due to field positioning not having an ability QB or RB either and this team is still a top team. I like this team, I like what they are doing!
  9. Buccaneers (5-5) – TMO WOOHDY, and  warpath are on a rampage I believe they have only lost one game unfortunately lucky has been struggling, that’s lucky’s MO at this point he struggles to start season but he always finds a way to get on  hot streak I can see them jumping up in these rankings soon
  10.  Ravens (5-3) this team has two really solid lines and shurzi and his line are tough they gave the chargers their only loss and that says something! The other line aint a cake walk either. I want to see how the rest of the season plays out and would love to see some stats entered for them as it is tough to tell how they are actually doing
  11.  Dolphins ( 4-6) –
    velus quitting cruce and verts getting traded then retiring then unretiring, grof is just a hotspot for turmoil it seems lol I like the guy but it seems whatever he touches falls apart, i put them at 11 strictly cause of record but i see them falling more
  12. Seahawks (5-6) – #MVPork pork has been throwing this team on his back that second line needs some changes or a pep talk let’s see if they fall or climb
  13.  Browns (2-8)- I know I know team is 2-8 but i like the line of AV REEBOK and hero and now they have thompson while again i don’t know much about that line I think they will turn things around and in a hurry
  14. Jags (2-8)- abyss quitting might hurt this team more than they are but i know hucci is a good OC and can turn things around
  15. Bills (1-9)- having the bills and being 1-9 is WILD but they have a line that imo will be the bright spot for this team and could help push them if other 2nd half teams start to crumble
  16. 49ers (2-8)- it’s hard for me to see the 9ers this low when teams like the saints are top 8 but sometimes the users just aren’t there and I think this may be the case here.

Ian Rappapork w/ Views

Introduce yourself!

Hello, im views been playing madden since like madden 13 people claim I’m not a OC but opinions are like assholes everyone got one.

For those who don’t know you. Browns have complained a lot about the OL… do you think play-calling could be a factor to?

The browns oline is almost unusable majority of the time due to ea, sure the play calling could be better we are all human.

What has to change or continue to keep yall in the win column?

I think we need to run more games together so the OCs can figure a more fluid scheme

Looking back at the team draft… is there another team you wish yall would’ve got?

I could have went the ravens I believe but I was unaware of the browns oline being glitched.

Final remarks?

Ian Rappapork on RPO META

(No names will be revealed in the article) So people can give their honest opinions without having to worry about being called out for people that disagree with them!

RPO? Are they the problem? Or is there something bigger?

RPO spam have become what I would say is the “meta” for OCs in this season. With the current state of Madden, who blames them?

Better run blocking, quick pass options, and easy ways to get your skill players out in space. That’s everything an OC should be looking for. However defensively it has become pretty hard to stop. Is that due to poor users? Poor DCs? Or maybe is it too overpowered?

I’ve gone around asking almost 20% of the entire server to gain a sample for this article. Through it I have seen multiple views.

One person says:

it’s boring and frustrating to play against, but I don’t think it’s the meta.
While another has told me:
Rpo meta is very tuff offensive scheme, it can be stopped, but only if there are 3 users that are doing their job. If you limit it, u are taking away half of the 3VL schemes, but limiting it might make it more fair for all teams, so the game can turn into more of a skill over scheme type of environment.
However the most interesting take I’ve heard on this topic was made when one player said:
It’s the only way to beat a gaps and shit. RPOs aren’t hard to contain. Spamming Overload 3 seam a gap all game should be banned. Offense is hard enough to limit the only way to beat the blitz

This take on the “meta” made me think, if we were to limit the rpos, would we not just complain about the absurd defensive blitzes? Madden in general is bad at programming, A gap blitzes have dominated this year all year. Along with your usual blitzes that are able to cause instant pressure. These defensive blitzes have cause for havoc on the offensive end. QBs are forced to run more, they are forced to look for short passes, and they are forced to change their play style.

Maybe it isn’t the RPOs? Maybe it seriously is the user skill. One player said “Last I checked RPO was nerfed from last year, all you need nowadays is 3 good users. Unlike dline usering if you can’t handle RPOs now it’s just a skill issue. User it.” I think honestly he isn’t wrong. He seriously might be right. If we are to limit rpos, we would have to limit defenses as well. But what if we didn’t change anything?

What if all we changed was maybe put a position lock? Well some thought that was a great idea while other simply said, “no.” I like the idea of an offensive position lock personally. But I’ll get into that in the next paragraph. I think overall from what I have heard, the genuine belief is yes. It’s boring. Yes, it’s hard to stop. But if you are good enough, it is definitely stoppable. There shouldn’t be a limit.

Now position lock, I originally heard the thought to have position lock offensively to prevent the double user TE blocking. Those user blocks would cancel out the abilities of the DL and cause chaos. But a teammate of the man who recommended it said there is an easy way to stop the double user block. Cut stick the hell out of them. Blow that shit up.

So here is the main reason why I say position lock. Stats. Top RBs are getting outperformed by other RBs that aren’t even usering the RB. The QB is! I find nothing wrong with that. If the QB wants it, he can have it. However we are a league with awards and players that aren’t even doing anything are on pace to win some of the trophies. Easiest way to prevent that, the QB running it gets the stats. This would make for an insane MVP stat line and truly have some of the best statistical seasons the league has ever seen. But players that aren’t usering the RB shouldn’t be getting the stats.

At the end of the day, Mr Hexi is ironically right. We are a comp league. Not a sim league. We are playing for money. It is not right to flat out ban this strategy. Is it annoying yes. Is it kind of a toxic thing to do, sure. Does it require any sorts of skill, no. Does it mean they are good, no. But we aren’t looking for realism. we are playing madden.

Maybe next season we go for a “sim” look. More realistic options and rules enforced. But as for this season, I think we don’t need to necessarily change a thing. We are doing just fine. The only thing maybe is control how the stats are imputed. I don’t believe players who aren’t using their labeled position should get the stats.

Regardless, everyone can do it. Nothing stopping you from doing it. While jukebox is OP, they still are facing legitimate players and playing legitimate games. Overall, the league is doing well. The users are the problem. Hope we all can enjoy the rest of the season and come back to this topic after.

Ian Rappapork W/ Solo

Introduce yourself for those that don’t know you!

I’m a well known DC that was in the 3fl for 18 szns and won a Super Bowl and also had 4 Super Bowl appearances

Bengals have been on a good track but with some bumps as well. How have you felt so far this season with the squad?

I think we are fine line 1 is looking really good on defense and i know we will get our offense figured out and start winning more games. Line 2 we need to step up on defense.

Obviously yall believe u have a shot to win it all…. Who would you want to play in win or go home Super Bowl game? What team?

Our offense is playing great and if we get stops on defense we will be a team that’s hard to beat. In a win or go home situation if I had to put my best line out there it would be me joka and orbi 100% because we all 3 have great user and u might say I’m bias but that’s a hard team to beat.

Who has been y’all’s MVP up to this point? Have they been just as impactful off the game?

And who’s been our MVP up to this point is me as QB on our 2nd line and ORBI on the 1st line orbi has played great defense all szn and has gave joka many of opportunities to score unfortunately we haven’t looked to good on offense and I’m looking forward to seeing joka come back and show everyone who he is really about. And for why I would say it would be me on the 2nd line is because I’ve scored almost every drive in every game our defense just needs to step up a lil and we will be fine.

Final remarks?

I just wanna say if we got haters then WE DOING SUM RIGHT

Ian Rappapork W/ Beachmode

For those who don’t know you, introduce yourself!

I’m xBeachMode and have been running in the VFL since season 2. I’ve played every position possible to play and have learned a lot of the nuances of team play since then. I’ve been an owner multiple seasons and have also learned a lot bout what it takes to run a team. I’m level headed and chill and always want to keep the positive energy in the locker room even in a loss.

What have you enjoyed most with the merge?

What I love about the merge is how many teams and players are able to play in a season. Less repetitive matchups and everyone seems reenergized to play again. The merge is truly the best parts of both former leagues.

The saints have looked stunning in the first couple weeks. What’s working so well for yall?

After we realized the jags were not as good as they looked on paper we had a team meeting and tested out multiple teams options. The saints on paper are LOADED especially on the defensive side of the ball. We have a bunch of consistent users and we made it come together. We will be a tough draw no matter who lines up against us.

Is Wace being the true leader he claims to be?

Wace is a straight baller. He is not afraid to admit when he needs to step up and help the team get better. He will get under your skin and that’s part of the game. Once he’s in your head you’re right where he wants you to be. Happy to have him on my team as he’s a proven winner.

What needs to be consistent or maybe tuned up to stay on this path yall are on?

Just need to know the scheme for each opponent. With the Saints you have to take what is given to you cause Carr has his inconsistencies and he will not be why you win the game. Scheme > Team. With the right users anyone can win and over here in this locker room we have straight ballers. As long as we keep playing smart we can keep this #1 ranking in the standings

Early Award Predictions

One week of the season down. Had a lot of interesting games happen in this and have some early runaway favorites for the top awards. Lets just get right into it.
MVP:
  1. Hexied– Not only is he succeeding while using the dreadful Desmond Ridder, he has 20 more points per game than the next leading candidate. With a 2.5 td to int ratio, its pretty obvious why he is my pick for the 3VL Brad Pitt award. Nobody in the league is doing more, with less at his disposal.

  2. Brady–  Again a top 3 points for offense, and after the top 3 there is a huge drop off in points scored by OCs of the league. Boasting the best td to int ratio in the league this one is no surprise at all. Brady is always a top MVP candidate and got blessed with Justin Herbert to add to it.

  3. Wace– This one is super tough for me. Wagboyz seems like the obvious pick here, runs an offense with the second most points scored in the league, but hes thrown more ints than tds, so through the first 3 games, that knocks him out of the top 3. Wace is number 4 in points scored, has been super effecient with the ball, throwing 5 tds with only 1 int. He also has 4 picks on defense 2 of which went back for 6. I usually hate listening to this guy complain in discord, but damnit bobby he is playing his heart out with Derek Carr right now.
Defensive Coordinator of the Year:
  1. TMO– I normally want to avoid putting anyone on my team/line up for awards in these things, but he is blowing the rest of yall away at this thing. Through three games, he has allowed 27 points (1 game being a shutout vs the self proclaimed league MVP, and the other against Cruce while TMO was down his OC). That goes along with a monster 24 TFLs, 13 sakcs, and 4 turnovers (All of which went for touchdowns). He is definitely running the show at DC at the moment.
  2.  Northzide–  Again another guy who is ALWAYS in these conversations. The man has allowed TEN points. I’ll say it again, TEN motherf***ing points through 3 games. That is crazy, The only thing that got him into number 2 over number 1 is the Defensive TDs. where he only has 1 of those to his name at the moment. 16 TFLs, 10.5 sacks, and 5 total turnovers. Again, monster stuff.
  3. Ebok–  Now this admittedly was between Ebok and TylerO, but i am pretty sure tyler is missing like half his stats so i have no idea what his defense is doing overall besides the points against. Ebok however with 16 points given up 9 total turnovers and 2 DTDs. Crazy to have those kind of numbers when he is apparently allergic to TFLs or sacks though. apparently every good play this Falcons line makes is a turnover as he only has 4 sacks and 8 TFLs. Crazy comms.
Running back of the year:
  1. Secure Tackler– This here is why Wagboys may not have all those passing tds. This guy is on a mission. 10 rushing Tds, 10 yards a carry. seems like you may not get the chance to throw the ball much when he touches it. Not much else to be said, thats pretty wild.
  2.  Ebok/ Woohdy– These two have pretty damn similar stats, and i didnt want to leave out the last guy so they are sharing a spot. Both averaging over 9 a carry, with 3 tds on Ebok and 4 on woohdy. These guys are rarely stopped and are killing opposing defenses in their own right.
  3.  Rivals– Got nudged down the list for being behind in yards per carry, and having 2 fumbles on the season to this point. Gotta hold onto the rock son.
Shitters of the Week (Really mainly gonna be OCs):
  1.  TC Villian– 7 ints to 3 tds just isnt going to cut it. Not ever, and Villian knows this, hes a good OC but that is just way to rough of a start.
  2.  CantstopVert– again 6 ints to 2 tds. Ebok won’t put up with that. Ebok was calling for a different teammate to be named here but that is tough to get pass for any team.
  3.  TrashPanda– we gotta talk sir. 72 points allowed, and 3 turnovers? make your teammates do pushups every time they give up a play or something, this gotta stop
Owner of the year:
  1. im only doing 1 person here so he will shutup and i dont have to listen to him. Give it to Blunkey. ThEy ArE 5-1. heres the particpation trophy.
