- Thread starter FrenchMovieTheme
- Start date

EA Sports is planning on allowing for some sort of avenue for these hardcore fans to easily communicate with the Madden development team
Elite players will also be the only ones in the Madden online world that will be able to play a ranked match on the All-Madden difficulty setting
Thats really all I cared for that got me to encourage EA.

careful friend, this isn't nba 2k
i still feel like man coverage sucks ass . It's better than last year defending against streaks and comebacks. But it still feels worthless on crossing routes and some posts. I can understand guys like Wes Welker or whatever consistently getting open against Man Coverage. But fucking Patrick Crayton?
And my god, the pursuit angles by the defense is soooo bad. So many big plays where all you have to do is just break one tackle in the flat, and you can run 50 yards for a TD.
One thing I really do like are the different QB ratings for different distances. Also, you see more cornerbacks able to alter the routes of weaker receivers. And seeing a receiver on your team slip in the snow sucks, but it's a nice addition to the game.

stop your whining and stop being lazy on D! finish the tackles! you're trying to let the CPU do your dirty work!
you lost because of that and you love to bite on PA fakes. the air is growing cold for you friend.... one day you may be able to stand up to the mighty 49ers.... one day
p.s. was your favorite play the 3rd and long TD run? that's what you get for playing a 3 man line and spreading them

I lost cause donovan fumbled at your 10 yard line and westbrook fumbled on my 10 yard line and fucking Maclin was lost for the game in the 2nd quarter.
You loved that Desean Bomb. I meant to save that but i was pissed so i quit quickly.
Westbrook was doin dirty on you. 150 yards on 17 carries. the non cheap way too!
Sorry FMT. Didn't see your message on Live until I was about to sign off.
I played a quick exhibition versus Carolina (All Pro, 12 mins., 20 sec runoff) and got stomped, 34-10.
It wasn't that I couldn't do shit offensively, but Williams shredded me. I guess that's what will happen since he's such a high rated guy, but god damn my guys could not keep up with him on the outside. Delhomme got lucky once on a deep fade to Smith who ran pass three of my defenders. -_-
Little to no pass-rush all game, either. I may try a 4-3 grouping with these guys to see how that goes, or just maybe face a lesser team.
As for the stats and time, it went pretty good. I'd be all right if we went by those settings.
I'll play tomorrow night with anybody (FMT?) after I get out of work.

just a heads up you gotta re-do your depth chart whenever there is a roster update. Kevin Bum Curtis was my starting WR for no reason. A couple other moves kinda messed me up.
FMT you loved that Post TD with Hank. I subbed him in and was looking his way the whole time. Mini Fitz!

It's taken a lot of work to get to even a respectable pass rush. You just have to live with the fact that you won't get many sacks, and at best will be hitting the QB just as he throws so that it's a duck.Striker said:

Wait I thought that was just my imagination. I've almost had tackles broken on me but I keep mashing on X and my guy finishes the deal. It's happened with Pierce and Webster who are both good tacklers so I just figured it was them rather than me. Is that what you are referring to?FrenchMovieTheme said:
LJ has now handed me 3 of my 4 ranked losses. He is my new DMczaf. He even made me fumble at the goal line just like my most famous play with DM.

Unless you have a top team you have to blitz to get pressure and try put your best players in position to make plays like using them on zone blitzes. No one on my line is over 71 so I have to use my LB's in creative ways. No way I can just come out in 4-3 and pressure the QB.
I hope last years rule of being able to move only the person you control is changed because when you blitz the safeties don't come down to guard their man. You wouldn't even be able to man blitz because the safety would be 20yds away from the RB...and we all know how effective passing to the flats is this year.

Even with my line I can't get any pressure without blitzing. I tried controlling the lowest rated player on my line (Bernard) to see if I was the problem, but I did not generate much more pressure by letting the AI control 95 rated Tuck.MWS Natural said:
The name of the game this year is definitely zone blitzes. If you go with a man blitz, even the scrub WRs break tackles and it's almost a sure TD if the pass is caught and the WR is one on one.

cb your pass to hank baskett could have easily been picked. 2 guys there, you lucked out. same with the desean TD. i had 2 guys there and i pushed LB to knock the ball down but my guy didn't do anything (no swat attempt).
and as far as westy getting it the hard way, lolz. you got lucky i just missed a tackle. meanwhile, frank gore will always break tackles but you won't always luck out with a bad angle by me.
what happened to all that trash talk about me not being able to beat you? i'm beating up on you with a team thats like 15 points lower overall than yours. what a shame.

You home during the day today? Half day at work for me.
I think you should try using Osi off the edge. I've had good success with Maybin, he does this shoulder dip when I push the right analog stick towards the right, and he flies past tackles (would probably be left for Osi). Doesn't happen very frequently, just enough to bring some heat without bringing more than 4.

This is when you manually control Maybin? Interesting. Is he more speed than power?LJ11 said:
Depending on the tackle on Tuck, I've seen him just throw the guy aside with a flick left or right. I am getting better at pressuring, but like I mentioned above, the pressure is there, but the sacks are far less than last year. I have had success with Osi if I slide left since he is more of a speed rusher. I've also had good success with nickel backs, as long as I also blitz the LB on that side. Otherwise the RB/FB picks him up.
All this said, I like that in all my online games so far, I've been sacked like twice. :lol

Yeah it's a shame. CB has the best team in the NFC East even without Vick, too bad he's a graduate of the Rod Marinelli school of coaching... :lol
Yeah, when I manually control Maybin, he's a speed rusher all the way.
I will say one thing I'm disappointed in is that buzz zones (purple routes), no longer jam receivers at the line. A few of you were torching certain coverages that I tried to mask as Cover 2, really frustrating and I didn't realize why until today.
Last year you could bump with a purple route, which allowed you to play head games with the offense. A player would see his receiver get jammed at the line and think cover 2, but it wasn't always true because he could be dropping back in a buzz. You ran Cover 2 a couple of times, get the guy thinking you're running cover 2, switching to a buzz and hope he bites on it for an interception.
Receivers now seem to have free releases, which really hurts when a nickel or dime corner is asked to drop back.

I splurged for the "Elite" status. Got tired of playing tools in regular quick match ranked games...
