    Hitstick Warriors, cheese?

    I wanted to know how my OS patrons felt about the guy that hitsticks on every play. I personaly dont like it, and they always seem to force a fumble because of it, its a lil too easy.

    Is being a hitstick warrior a form of cheese?

    i dont consider it cheese your ment to hit stick in the game arnt you? if thats cheese then i must be a cheeser lol.

    hit stick is like going for a hard tackle in a real life game if u dont go hard then go home.

          I understand what your sayin, but NFL players dont get smashed on every play. Kinda chedsy for someone to do this on every play.

          Maybe if they could limit one per half.

            ONE per half?!

            NFL players "Hit Stick" all the time. In fact, they're a lot like us gamers-- they do it too much, and it costs them because players with good upper body strength won't go down every time, or they'll just miss.

            Using the Hit Stick all the time is definitely NOT "cheese"-- there are lots of ways to avoid losing the ball if you get hit hard, and even more ways to avoid the hard hit in the first place, and once they miss, it's over almost every time and they suffer in the form of a big gain by the ballcarrier.

              Its not applied in the game very well. When I watched the boys vs giants I didnt see the ball carrier get hit by a flying human missle on every play.

                pretty soon people are going to say tackling is cheese lol they'll want us to let them go by without hitting them lol. hitsticking someone doesnt always have a guy flying through the air to tackle them matter of fact i dont think i ever saw that.

                  Hit sticking aint cheese... if you know what you're doing against it, it's an opportunity.

                  If you know how to use it properly, it's deadly.

                  Make it a point to master both.

                      R1 is your friend.

                      If you play on XBOX, then I guess RB is your friend

                        The standard dive tackle for Xbox360 is useless on Madden 10. I have to use hit stick all the time now.

                          my thoughts exactly. i use hit stick all the time, and ive only forced 1 fumble so far. it doesnt seem overpowered to me at all. i play offline though...maybe its ramped up online

                            I only play offline Franchise with a slight reduction to the fumble slider for greater realism.

                            I'd like to have the standard tackle back again so hopefully they'll make it more effective in future (via patch or more likely Madden 11).

                              Not cheese at all. You've got to plan your ball carrying route so that you don't get hit head on with a big hit. Only the head on hit that looks like the dude Goldberg spears you causes alot of fumbles. Well, that one, and the one where he slows down, lines you up, and hits helmets with you. Those 2 animations are all about the angle you get hit at though. Don't get hit at that angle, don't fumble.
