Legends are better than CAPs

[LSUTIGERSPHXSUNS]

Why do people complain about CAPs? As long as the CAPs aren't like unrealistic weight/height, how are they cheap?

If you get killed by a CAP, Earl Campbell or Barry Sanders would have beat you even more. Stop blaming you losses on CAPs. If someone made a CAP Earl Campbell with even better abilities, and you didn't know that he was a CAP, you wouldn't complain. Even if that CAP killed you, you wouldn't complain.

The legends in the game also already have hidden abilities. Like OJ, he has all finesse abilities, but runs people over like Earl Campbell. If you made a CAP, he wouldn't be nearly as good, because you would have to either make his abilities more finesse or more power. Also, his hands would be a lot worse if you didn't give him soft hands.

I know that CAPs can be fine. There are a ton of people who do it a respectable way. But the point is that it can be realy abused and that's whjy some people can't stand it.

There's a reason created players aren't usually allowed online and it isn't because the technology just became available.

[LSUTIGERSPHXSUNS]

All my CAPs are legit. I even make their accessories exactly what they actually wear. I even get the college correct. I just want my CAPs to be just like real life.

[LSUTIGERSPHXSUNS]

2K shouldn't punish everyone for what some people do. I want to be able to use CAPs in 2K9, or I won't buy it. CAPs are the only reason I am still playing this game.

[MorningGlory]

ok. But YOU do a legit job.

You don't represent all of the other people who abuse it.

I hate people who say, "Look. My CAP just got 59 yards on 20 carries."

I'm like, "ok. You don't have an abused CAP . . ."

And there's NO WAY anyone can tell me that you can't make a 5 ability CAP better than a legend. If you can't do it then please go back to grade school.

That's exactly true this game would be so boring if everyone had to choose from the pool of 200 legends or so, the game wouldn't have any replay value playing the same teams over and over, I embrace guys with CAPS (reasonably sized). I have a CAP Saints team and it has become my new favorite team. It's like recreating the league when I run into other NFL teams that are recreated.:D

Gold-HB-Reggie Bush- Speed Burner, Breakaway Burst, Finesse, Cutback Ability, Return Specialists
Gold-WR-Marques Colston- Route God, Soft Hands, Breakaway Burst, Bump Buster, Clutch

Silver-CB-Mike Mckenzie-Coverage Bonus, Ball Hawk
Silver-CB-Jason David-Coverage Bonus, Ball Hawk
Silver-QB-Drew Brees-Pockect Presence, Quick Release

Bronze-WR-David Patten- Soft Hands
Bronze-WR-Devry Henderson-Deep Threat
Bronze-TE-Eric Johnson-Soft hands
Bronze-ILB-Scott Fujita-Coverage Bonus
Bronze-OLB-Mark Simoneau-Closing Speed
Bronze-FS-Roman Harper-Ball Hawk

Now notice my silver and bronzes are much weaker than any other Legends you could choose except for the no attribute Bonzes ( but Troy Drayton is a beast ). So a portion of my team is considerably weaker than a team full of legends, especially the defense. So CAP's really aren't as overpowered as some may think.:D

You see, thats unfair to punish everyone for what only a couple of people do. I know as a fact that 2k would lose many customers if they banned CAPs for online ranked matches.

Thats just like us Americans and how we treat all the Arab people just because some of the RADICAL ones are terrorists.

[nflhitman]

I have come to the same conclusion. I have seen that the legends in this game do far better than any CAP I have ever made and I can make 5 Ability Caps.

Examples.....

Shannon Sharpe blocks great and has great hands yet he has only SB & RG.

Dave Wilcox has great speed and can blitz just as good as any other LB like DT.

Mark Smith is very good for only having Return and Cover.

A Lot more examples can be made but the thing I believe myself is that the Legends have hidden abilities also.

Putting Reggie Bush at gold is like slapping god in the face.

Thats cool, I know he didn't perform to that of a Gold this past season but he did manage to scrounge up 1,010 T.Y.O., along with 78 receptions, and 6 TD's so there is an arguement for Gold status for his team but not so much for the entire NFL. But i didn't believe a Silver with Speed Burner/Breakaway Burst, or a Bronze Speedburner would do and I don't use but only one Gold QB (Tom Brady CAP PAtriots team) so I decided to accurately portray his skill set to go with a Gold 5 CAP, and I'll admit in the open filed he's GREAT, but if he gets hit he usually goes down pretty easy.:)

legends are abosolutely better than CAP's. All legends have hidden attributes as in overall they are built better with overall allaround abilities. CAP's get only the ones u assign them.

People are angry at me for making a CAP running back with speed burner finesse and power and workhorse, well he is only 205 pounds, and finnesse and power is so that i don't waste an ability on battering ram and one on cyclone, the only 2 abilities i use, while earl campbell literally with charge on only 1 move trucked 3 people stiff armed one, and branched a tackle into the endzone, im not sure but the legend who shook off 5 players (2 were silver, and there was a bronze) seem a little bit better to me. by the way gale doesn't have it but he is extremely good at branching tackles.

[LSUTIGERSPHXSUNS]

^^^ But, IMO, "finesse and power" on CAPs gives them a little bit of all the abilities. But if you gave a CAP just "finesse", he would be better at finesse moves than a "finesse and power" back.

But that is only for CAPs IMO, as Walter Payton's shoulder charge is beast, and OJ doesn't have "Power" but can run anyone over.
