... against guys who control their DL on defense, I've thrown 17 interceptions
sidenote: what route combos work against cover 3?? I was tearing it up with 4 verticles, but since the update that shit hasn't worked... curl/outs are a guaranteed pick and I don't want to abuse the flats...
Sabo!
I feel ya bra'.. do trust, i'm goin' through the same shyt & I run with the #1 offense in the NFL!!.. I touched on this subject slightly here..

.. but the thing is that ya CAN NOT give up on the run.. as hard as it is i'm begining to learn that no single player can dictate what the entire defense is doing, just the player they control and the play they call from the p/b.. the one player they control is that one player, the CPU is basically the other 10 players (talking defensively) my guess is that when the CPU learns that your in a strictly "passing style" mode that they adjust accordingly, with help from the user (player) and the defensive sets that are being called.. Now that being said (now this is just a guess) if you keep running AND passing then you keep the D on their heels, and from that point it's exploit time, rollouts, waggles, mis-directions, counters, flats, quick slants, but I can't emphasize enough to get into practice mode and play against some of the best defenses that you can in AM mode.. play against a cover-2, cover-3, cover-4, man, velcro and start figuring out weaknesses and exploit the hell outta that shyt.. Lord only knows if I had just an ounce more time in a 24hr. period you can bet i'd be all over figurin' this out, but I do have a life outside of Madden, gotta lotta shyt goin' on and only get to go into practice mode for maybe an hour a day, but that hour, yeah, that hour is spent well, and sometimes you just gotta take a few beatings before you get sick of it and say "enough is a F'n nuff", that's when you start dissecting.. You got passing & INT issues ?? get in practice mode (p/m) and roll vs. the Titans, in nothing but zone coverages and nickel velcro, you'll start seeing things, and if your not sure then instant replay that shyt til' you start learning what your looking at.. yeah, when that ball is snapped you got about 3 seconds to make a decision, make it one that keeps the "D" guessing.. my .02
