Defer to second half, why is this an option on the coin toss?

to preface all the 'why doesnt madden/any football video game do it' questions from those who dont about the rule, its simple. its confusing as fukk to someone who doesnt know the rules.

Ok, I'll be the straight man in this thread :beli: You can defer when it's real windy and you want to go with the wind in a certain quarter or maybe if you feel like there's any kind of advantage going a certain way down the field in a given quarter.
judging from your response, you dont get it either.

people dont really read the thread? a link to the actual rule of coin toss was actually provided.

if your captain is really dumb/slow you just tell him to always say 'receive' if asked shyt by refs :heh:
if he has some brains on him you tell him the more complex
'if you lose the toss and are asked what to do->always say receive'

Oops, misread it. Crazy Stallion's a hell of a drink :ld: Maybe deferring is a mindgame like the poison scene from Princess Bride :yeshrug:and they want to react to what they will bring out.

Retarded rule. The visiting team should ALWAYS get the ball first, and the home team should ALWAYS get it to start the 2nd half. That's it, no exceptions, and no more wasting our time with this coin toss bulshyt.

I remember a situation where this might have made sense, but even then, the winning team didn't elect to kick twice. I think it was 02 or 03 A&M vs. V-Tech and hurricane Isabella was about to hit that weekend. Wind was so bad, they didn't even punt, just went 4 straight downs each drive. Even then, possession was more valuable than the wind.

Na. Team with a good defense should be able to put them on the field first if they want.
