The problem with Madden 2007 was...if you had a player wide open deep the corner would make some ridiculous recovery jump and it pretty much made the deep ball irrelevant...in 2008, they decided to fix this by making teams with QB's that have cannons and good receivers (at that time the Bengals and Colts) impossible to defend from the deep ball...like 70 yard heaves...UNLESS you used two man under or cover 2 (and cover 2 you'd pretty much have to control the safety and swat the ball down with the LT or if you're feeling lucky and in position Y to pick the pass off...)
I ran 3-4 Under two man under with DJ at my RILB and I was money against the pass...I used DJ to cover the flats if teams realized that was where I was vulnerable...and if they started doing it effectively I'd mix in cover 2 and get a lot of picks throwing them off because I generally stayed in my base defense...
I also have three of four blitz packages but I rarely ever blitz...teams could generally run the ball on me...but if they'd get a 2nd and 12 or anything it was pretty much over because it was too hard to pass on me...
I think my stats online were like 36 PPG against 8 PPG or something around that area...and most games only last until halftime where the mercy rule kicks in.
You'd get some epic battles sometimes, though...I broke 4 XBox controllers and used to heave my recliner through my apartment when I'd do something stupid...my roommate would be on the couch playing poker on his laptop...look up...and shake his head.
