give AM a chance.......

any of the settings will have effect on Offense AND Defense. its not just about a "Shut Down Defense". it also doesnt explain all the high scoring and stats after 4-5 games.

also;
most game play will come from play selection too.....FYI

regardless, another consensus should be presented in the near future.


and yes; (Saluki) - somebody can just create another community but since this a Forum with most of our online buddies, its also a form of communication with each other

Humble....my man...love him to death..(no homo)

Ive played someone last night in a great ball game and he score off of a pick 6 and Fg...no high scoring game there...and that was All-pro...All-madden is just old school now...

it should be the other way around....all-pro should be all madden...and all-madden should be all pro!

Im loving AP

Players play at their ratings.

Alot of you got to except the fact that "your team" might just suck.

When I played Mcstl25 it was only game Id given up a big rushing day. SJ had 200 on me. I shouldve focus on him and let Bradford beat me but I didnt before it was to late.
If that was on AM SJ woulda been less of a factor. So why lessen a teams #1 weapon?

On AP you got to play with and against the teams strengths. You gotta use strategy. Fact is some teams just plain suck in real life and your gonna struggle with them in the game.

Im struggling with my team. I need to run but last 4 games I couldnt get nothing going. Passing is harder for me this year. Eli isnt elite and cant pass like I used to. Not having Smith and Boss messing with me. I need to change my gameplan. But so far every game Ive played has been a defensive struggle.


MADDEN 12: TimsGiants played as Giants against Helicopter20 who played as Titans and won 31-10
I keyed on CJ in the run and pass. Fact is Hasselbach sucks so Heli had a hard time.

Heli adjusted his D plan to me and shut me down. Titans still struggled on O and lost close one

MADDEN 12: TimsGiants played as Giants against HumbleMoFo who played as Redskins and won 14-7

Another defensive battle where both us played good D.

MADDEN 12: TimsGiants played as Giants against MM_mcstl25 who played as Rams and lost ?-?
For some reason the game isnt showing up on ea website. Mcstl busted 3 huge runs with SJ. Basiclly 21 points. To me it felt besides those 3 big plays the game was even. He played smart D

MADDEN 12: TimsGiants played as Giants against CommanderChron who played as Patriots and lost 15-21

I feel down 17-0 quick and had to pass. For 3-1/2 qtrs Kill shut me down. Got game going to late.

MADDEN 12: TimsGiants played as Giants against BucsOrDie who played as Buccaneers and lost 8-24
Aug 30, 2011 10:06 PM
Bucs stuffed mall game my whole game. I couldnt pass or throw and He moved the chains all game. It woulda been 24-0 but I got a garbage score at the end game.

I went up 14-0 early. Tried to control the game after that running the ball but again couldnt. Watched BB slowly comeback and take the game. I had the ball to win it with 2mins to go but threw a boneheaded pick.

I forgot... Man field position is so big this year.

First year where field position seems to matter to me. This defensive battles seemed to been won by it.

more thoughts.. on AP for those giving up big yardage.

I bet your selling out vs run. Some games when your struggling to stop the run you can just sell out. Its only going to lead to bigger runs. Might get a few nice stops but not worth the big ones you give. Gotta bend a little and pick spots to sell out.

On AM you can sell out with NP because the cpu got your back. Just another reason why AP is the way to go.

If Im playing the Eagles better believe Im gonna pound it. They are weak on run D and excellent on pass d. If they sell out vs run great cause its just a big play waiting to break.

Personally i haven't seen a ton of difference between to two in user games. As far as "the CPU playing for you" I dont know about all that. If you let the CPU play for you on All-Madden your gunna lose. And if your getting beat by somone who lets the cpu play for them, you suck.

What I mean by this is on defense the computer puts defenders in a position to play well. If you played All-Madden against the computer and use different plays, they will beat the shit out of u(they whooped the hell out of me on the demo)!!! So playing AM is All-Madden cpu with twist of human play is what u get when u play online. All I'm saying is play ur own game without assistants.

.

wait....are u saying i suck or my team sucks?

Ive played them both...all madden=all computer....all pro forces u to play ur own D...I play my own D and shutdown a few peeps on this site on AP...Stop relying on the computer to make plays for u...I'm in favor of All-Pro!!!

i felt that way years ago. nice to see the consensus has shifted its feelings towards AP over AM.

 

[Saluki]

I never play the cpu in madden so i can't compare to that. The CPU in NCAA cheats tho, if u come out say, in shotgun 5 wide, and call a QB draw, they'll come out in 4-3 base because they know it's a run. :smh:

whats with all the "!!!" ever post? you excited? lol

been playin with the 9ers for the last 2 years

HA...maybe last year but before that you were vikings w/farve and raiders with all that speed


I still prefer AM, but that's just what I'm use to. I dont have a problem with AP. I roll with the majority.
