Also, make sure you're getting yourself into good run looks against the d that you're facing. If you run a dive or a slam against against a 3-4 or 4-3 stack look, it's not going to work. But running a pitch or a counter against that same look and you could bust one.

Now, have you varied this at all with your nickel having QB responsibilities? Additionally, how often does PA out of the same alignment affect your effectiveness (really, is the run fake "hard" and does it look similar to the ZR play in the same alignment?)?

I played a little last night and my biggest gripe so far is blockers failing to recognize/engage obvious blocks, especially on runs to the outside. Pretty much exactly what the Kotaku reviewer was saying in his piece.
I've never played franchise mode before, but am thinking about starting one tonight. Chest Huntwell's first order of business will be to package Alex and Fisher for Geno. Second to hire GoChiefs and Sweet Daddy Hate as hype men/fluffers dressed like Flavor Flav to accompany him everywhere yelling "Bow down before the magnificence of the Chococawk!" Third, have a poster made of him with a rocket launcher for an arm and a giant black mamba emerging from his shorts and curling down around his leg. Every player will be required to hang this in their locker. Hopefully that will stroke his fragile ego enough for development. If I can't do that, then EA's franchise mode sucks.

Another funny thing is that if I play certain defensive formations I can get 5-6 sacks with some noname dude coming off the left end. I tried to play Watt thinking I would kill and he did nothing.

I'm pretty damn good. But I don't know how to shade my corners to a side like the dude was talking about a few posts up.
Haven't lost online yet btw. |

Its a work in progress and depends on the formation they use. Some of the pistol heavy sets are a ****ing pain to deal with cause the TE & Tackle go right to the second level. Pretty much, I'm trying to mimic this: http://smartfootball.com/defending-s...crape-exchange To shade man covereage, press coverage audiable-> A button-> button of reciever you want to shade-> then left or right on the stick to shade. This is for 360 BTW. I have it down fast enough that I can shade 4 receivers before he gets the snap off. |

Additionally, the pistol sucks (for defenses) because you can still get blocks from the backs (especially in Diamond alignments). I haven't played it yet but if there are some ZR plays with power concepts built in...that's going to be fun to try and figure out. I really think it's weak as **** that the game boxes the read defender. People should have to learn some football instead of having it mapped out for them.

Playing defense on all-madden is gonna take some practice. My scores are typically something like 42-30. Offense is easy as hell. It feels like defense hardly exists. Not saying I hate the game this year, but god dammit, I can't wait to see what happens when another company gets in on a NFL game for next gen.

This ****in game is way too overwhelming for somebody who hasn't owned Madden since 07 for the PS2. Takes a goddamn hour to just start playing the first regular season game. Too many bells and whistles. And then when you finally play the game, it just doesn't look or feel right.
Meh, man. Meh. |

Welp, **** you EA.

But attempting to shed a block in Madden realistically has still never been in the game. Once you're suctioned onto a OT, you're pretty much done unless it's a coverage sack. Just once, I want to see Hali do his duck and shed move with his hands and get around a LT. And I want to see Houston bullrush a RT back into the QB. The shit doesn't happen. And Madden still doesn't know how to use defenses correctly. A 1 gap and 2 gap are all the same in Madden. And I didn't even like the gameplay in 2K. But damn I've grown to hate EA more and more each year. |

This is a good way of describing it. It all seems familiar, but it's all just busier and lounder and bullshittier. The menu screens are overwhelming and the game itself is tweaked and shiny in mostly meaningless ways.
