Not to knock TWIM 28

Guys i am not trying to knock what you both do ..... its a great show, i tune in every week ...albeit, i only get to watch it the next day due to time zone differences living here in the UK...(hence not calling in during the shows....its like 3am here) and i really enjoy the tips and the amount of effort you both put into producing these shows, week after week, month after month...truly i couldnt.. and wouldnt be able to do it.

Twim 25 was particularly good, i like what Aaron Shultz brought to the show!.

However...I have one teeny, tiny, little, petite criticism....the playbooks you are running every week the 4-4 and the balance are getting a little repetitive on the shows and i would like to see a little more diversity.

The Titans 4-4 defence is getting a little dull ( and i kinda of agree with what was said earlier about the odd split doing a similar job ) ...... the balance Wr post corner is getting predictable.....tbh i think Sgibs you are feeling this too....last few 'games of the week' you sort of gave up after the 2nd quarter.....( mate i realise this is because you have basically broke down these plays for the whole community to see and work out ........but now the TWIM challengers are biting you on the bum because its what they see you do ...and use religiously)

All the more reason to mix up the playbooks on the show.

I would love to see plays done from start to finish, 1st down to endzone breakdown and philosophy.


This being said ...this is still the best Madden site on the Web, and i hope EA Sports are taking notice ........and maybe in the future help subsidize what you guys are trying achieve.


I hope this is taken as constructive and not a negative post to the community

I have an idea but I'm not sure how difficult it would be for Gibs or Farls. I think it would be cool if there was some kind of "scheme" of the week. MB members can post an offensive scheme earlier in the week, Gibs or Farls can practice it a bit, then apply it come game time. It teaches viewers something new, Gibs doesn't have to come up with a new offense every week, it gets the community involved, and the games themselves become a hell of a lot more entertaining.

Since it's a tip show, it doesn't make sense to just run one play all game. Some of the things you go over during the show should also have a place in the game. If you explain counter plays during the show, let's see them in action. Someone wants to know about your favorite route combos, why not try them in game later? I think the game of the week is a perfect time to bring what the viewers have learned full circle, and no one can improve their game by seeing post corners a thousand times.

I think that gibs shouldn't have to call out all the haters every week, and get frustrated.. there should be a kick/mute button so you can kick out people that are ungrateful, or just haters..

all of this is a great idea Frunkis!

I think he could keep running the same scheme, the thing is if you watched the people who have beat the left a lot of the field open in the middle and covered the RC routes extra hard. I think he should just take what the Defense is giving him sometimes to make them play honest than that would open the RC routes back up.

I would keep off-tackling, then mix in the Full-House. Y-Trips HB Wk. Mix in the Wrinkle.. go back to off-tackle on first downs.. Go for the PC when I need it.

Where can I view the game of the week for this episode?

yeah thats what happens when u stop evolving ur madden gm. gibs u gotta run more than WR Post Corner. cause of how glitchy the recievers routes are, its the equivalent of how cheasy running JUST off-tackle is. No disrespect intended, but why show the masses all these tips of the week if dont plan on using them yourself in the gm of the week??? I think u should have a tip of the week, find a way to use it in the game of the week, and then next week on the followin twim show a highlight from the week before of ur tip of the week in action. this way it will give ur tip of the week some validity to it, cause people can see it in a real game scenario. gFF

-ps. i would of sent this to ya'll in a personal message but the website saids i dont have enough post to send a pm

tons of great criticsm guys! Love the feedback and DEF appreciate it

We absolutely appreciate the recommendations! We consider this good solid feedback and are looking to improve the quality of the show. I feel georgia did a good job explaining rather than just saying "you guys suck"

My main thought on the game of the week are basically.

First, try and get the best player we can find (hopefully a big name, lil man or big game james)

Second, play it in a tournament style atmoshpere (Lots of off tackle, close, tight games with good clock management)

Lately, Gibs has played 3-4 eafl guys who all knew his exact scheme and all had the perfect snugs offense to really disrupt his 4-4.

I could play and demolish guys like Aaron all the time, but I dont think it improves the quality of the show overall. Even when Gibs Destroyed 2guys1puck, it wasnt great for viewing.

I love the scheme of the week idea if people dont mind sending some stuff in.


I know the Eafl guys aren't extremely "well known" but Zan and Harlem (Vince won big city) are really good and Gibs labs with them alot so his game is familiar.

When we don't get a game scheduled and play a random person, I think the results will be a little closer. But maybe we will do a scheme of the week.

Keep the ideas coming and I promise we are serious about the PS3 matchup and not just saying it.

I think you guys are doing a good job...for you guys to take the good critisizm to make the show better definatly shows your good character...i think your scheme works...I would say use more plays out of the book. everyone knows the post corners...big deal you still are able to score and move the ball. use more plays from your guide...you have snugs and wr screen in your audibles yet you never use them...snugs is golden when you use it...if you come out in post corners and aud down to either full house or off tackle people will automatically know how to stop them because they are easier to stop then say snugs. Dont jump ship due to some loses....again the average person you will cream...i would say just lab your d just a little bit more..Once you nail your defense down your offense will eventually give you something...

We are playing the Top 1% of competition in the community, thats the style we want to showcase. I demolished some guy 70-0 in my league and average 38+ points. It wouldnt be fun (for anyone but me) to watch that beat down week after week.

If you don't know the scheme thats coming at you when we play, you are horrible! Its out there for everyone to see.

Now for players bowl, its an entirely different story...

Gibs you have to mix it up man, make your two back tuffer so they don't know what's coming

I think that gibs shouldn't have to call out all the haters every week, and get frustrated.. there should be a kick/mute button so you can kick out people that are ungrateful, or just haters..

Have i read this in the correct context Kiki? If not i apologise mate.

I am definately not a hater of the show....i love what these guys are doing for us weekly.

I just dont play with Ten 4-4 or the balanced playbook is all....it was never meant as a negative post toward Zfarls and Sgibs or what they have created for the community ( to take Mili's saying.....I love what these Cats are doing )

( not Georgia =p )

I'm talking about the guys that are in the chat. Sgibs got mad at the guys from a different site several times, and he shouldn't have to do that. I believe you can boot people from your own chat on ustream.. if so, They should definitely take advantage of that and boot those idiots that watch but hate on everything.

thanks guys, ill take a look into it

i get frustrated, becuase IM human lol

but ill look into the boot feature this week thanks fellas

i agree with Wang. Gibs should just stay focused on his gameplay and not have to address the haters in the chat at the same time. i know you guys have to deal with that at a tournie but this is TWIM and TGOW so there is no need for that. tune'em out! lol!
