About to move on from Madden.
Posted by knowingabyss on 9/13/16 at 8:52 pm85
This game is so infuriating on defense. I can't stop a damn run to save my life and no matter what I call, the underneath stuff kills me. I had a Ravens user torch me today, another L to a Dolphins user and then the Cowboys to make me 0-3 in my last games. The only times I can win or keep it close is if I use a super team like the Packers or Broncos.

It's alright, we understand. At least there are plenty of other football games to play!

I wish, man do I wish we did.

When the computer wants to score it will score 9/10 times. The worst are when the CPU has the ball with 2:00 minutes or less to go in the game.
I don't have much problems stopping the run, but I can't run myself for anything. I can throw 50 passes in a game and try one draw play and get hit for a 3 yard loss.

I am here for the "I suck at madden" thread.

Those games are so dumb. Unless you use one of 4 cheese or money plays on offense repeatedly you will never win.

I quit NCAA because of this. Always had to play on the Heisman because All-American was to easy. But the CPU would awlays find a way to frick you. Like i would go to fricking Kneel the ball and it would be a bad snap or some fumble on the one yard line with seconds left. Really stupid.

Running is 75% a numbers game. Even if he has Dallas's OL, he isn't getting more than 3 yards and a cloud of dust if you don't overcommit to a side or bring everyone to the LOS. If I'm expecting a run, I move the safeties up about 8-10 yards off the LOS and move one of the OLBs inside a little. I can now pinch off a run inside and if it goes outside, my safety has an opportunity to make the play. If it's an obvious toss, shift your line that way.
As for the underneath stuff, that can be cheasy but stoppable. I do cover 2 Tampa or cover carry, tell defense to play underneath. Then I man an LB and wait. You can also call a 2 man under and play a safety over the middle and follow the guy(s) underneath. Or in man, tell them the the defense to play inside. EVENTUALLY a guy will jump the route.

There are no "money" plays like last year. Everything can be covered. Dig routes aren't exactly coverable but if you adjust to them, you can take advantage of obvious playcalling.

Sounds like you're just not very good?
And that's just not true. The people who suck use those plays. People who are good don't need to.

I mean, I'm not claiming to be good. All I'm saying is no matter what I do, I just can't seem to get stops when I need them. I try pinching my line and I try committing to my gaps, I know I'm doing something wrong, figuring it out is what's killing me.

Madden has been terrible for many years.

Jimmy Graham dropped 3 passes in a row. Wide open in the endzone for the draft champions championship game

The spin move is the worst feature in the entire game. They stop running and walk in a circle.

Usually in the wrong direction too

The old NFL Blitz you used to be the king of the computer taking over. Once you got ahead by 3 scores it fumbles and interceptions galore.

Me and my buddy decided to fire up Blitz on the 64 a few weekends ago. He was dominating but every time he would go up a score or two, the game would make him fumble LOL Needless to say, I won the game because of this

Same engine as NBA Jam. You have a lead in the fourth quarter. Your CPU teammate starts turning the ball over and the CPU opponents start hitting miracle shots. They get lucky and tie it at the buzzer so you have to put another quarter in for overtime.

Try adjusting
99.9% of the time people who said exactly what you just said just fail to adjust to anything.
