If you are going to sit in Zone D all game

[Realist]

I'm so sick of hearing there is no pass rush, I can get pass rush with the f'n lions. It's all about blitzing and knowing when and not when to blitz. The key is to catch the opponent waiting for a route to develop and getting sacked when he doesn't even realize it

You are sick of it because you aren't comprehending the whole thing. Everyone who has complained about the pass rush says "You can't get a good pass rush UNLESS you BLITZ" If you are coming with 4 men, which teams like the Giants can do in real life, they can get a good pass rush with just those 4 people. Now tell me you can do that in madden? You can't which is the problem people like QuietStorm are having with the game

There is NO pass rush man. It is not realistic to see a QB in Madden get 6 to 7 second in the pocket with 4 men rushing. You will never see that on Sunday. Pass rush is broken on All Madden for some reason.

Go into practice mode and go into an 4 wide set with all the WR running streaks. Then go

[Realist]

I can guarantee that if i come out in man coverage 3 plays in a row...2 of those passes are either going to be drags or quick passes...guaranteed. And i would much rather give up 4-5 yards in zone, then 14-15 yards in man because my LB cant keep up with the FB.

Then don't come out in man 3 plays in a row....lol

[The Buddha]

Then don't come out in man 3 plays in a row....lol

Why not? Most teams in the NFL play 90% either zone or man, they dont alternate between the two...


From now on im going to run straight up man 2 man all game...i want to see if anyone will post a thread about it.

[QuietStorm]

Do this for me...

This has to be done on All Madden

Go into practice mode and pick your team, then move your controller so you're controlling the defense. Then when you pick the offensive play. Go into a 4 WR set and have all the routes, streak routes or something down field. Then on defense pick Dime Man Cover 2. The QB is going to get 6 to 7 seconds in the pocket.

Before I go to bed I'm just gonna say that there are a lot of mfers on here that I don't consider sim, I see stuff all the time that I think isn't sim, and unless you are throwing to the RB out of the backfield 4/5 times (Alloutblitz) you can do whatever you want, because thats just how this game is. Noone open, hit that reciever in the flat, or the running back. We can all do it.

Personally I look for any possible route downfield, which is why I force a lot of passes and throw pick 6's all th etime and loseariaoheaorihjasgrarrgh


edit: man defense is a joke to me because the routes to the middle of the field 10-15 are left wide open because the cb's can't react, and the safeties are too far over the top. I dunno though, we all act like every coverage should stop any pass, and thats just not the way it is otherwise noone would ever score.

Thats when you MIX UP your play calling which is my whole point. If you come out in man 3 plays in a row, you know whats coming so why not throw in a zone (or vise versa) for one of those plays.if you ran 3 plays, one being man and 2 being zone, thats 33% man. i'm sure now one would be complaining about the game being boring.

Also you just proved my point, you said 90% either man or zone, not 100% which is whats happening and the whole point of my thread in the first place.

[Realist]

Every year this thread comes up.

A) Because guys can't read zone defense
B) Guys can't do shit against zone defense
C) Man Defense is a joke
D) All of the Above

I personally have a hard fucking time against zone defense but it never really bothers me. You have to take what the defense gives you. If they're sitting in zone all day then take the short underneath shit. If they're playing man then you know just about everything works.

Strahan get off your high horse. There is no pass rush this year. Teams in the NFL don't need to blitz every down to get pressure on the QB. Unfortunately EA hasn't been imformed.

This game is garbage let's not take it out on one another.

Like said, I can't speak for everyone else, I have no problem beating zone. I mean I've played 20 tracker games and I've won most. Everyone plays almost the same so it's not like I can't beat it. The game is just boring. Hell Izzy mixes up his playcalling and plays good D (sometimes) so if he can do it, I know it can be done LOL

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I thank god every day that I don't pick the same defense or offense twice in a row. I always mix my play up. I wish I pick zone all game vs Realist. He probably wouldn't completed 19 str8 passes in a row :confused:

He should complete 19 passes in a row, but thats where "sim" goes out the window because you would have to throw the same routes every play imo

And you still held my offense in check most of the game. just like i did yours and i mixed up my D. That game was fun, win or lose

Also it was 16 passes ;)

Well I guess it's a good thing I didn't throw the same routes every play. Which I never do anyway. I completed balls to 7 different WR's all over the field.

Not sure if you were hinting that I wasn't sim or not...

[Realist]

Never fun when you lose. I really believe that. That the way dave thinks too. It a great game either way when u having fun win or lose. I don't believe that one bit. I try to have fun and mix my play on both sides. That because I think yall guys are too good to see the same defense twice. So I try to confused people.

But in my opinion. It dosen't matter what they do on defense. My job is too move the ball and gets points. Listen I will pull my hair out if I see the same defense 10 str8 games in a row. That I could see that being boring. But I know in the VSN people mix their games up.

But that what I see. I can't speak for everybody.

That's the difference between me and you. You lose, you have to go to the gym to blow off some steam. I lose, I turn the game off and go about my life lol. It's a video game. I may be upset at the time but as soon as I turn the PS3 off, I'm done with it. It's not that serious to me and never will be, unless I start making money from it.

[Liquidrob]

every now and than I would rush 7, 8 or even 9, just have the 2 safties back, good times

[dave]

We should play Realist.

I respect your opinion.

Of course, everyone will say it's because I have a losing record ... but ask anyone who plays me - they have a hell of a fun game and they all say my defence is so different from everyone else's.

Because - gasp - I mix everything in!

Man, zone, blitz, blitz, blitz.

When guys play my Eagles, they play the Eagles.

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

I feel ya Realist, not a fan of people running zone all game, and I wont abuse the flats if somebody plays man... I usually have 4-8 TOPS passes to my backs, And on defense I usually pick man, and then defensive hot route towards somebodies tendencies, most my defensive calls arent even in the game lol
