That's the thing CB, there are plays labeled Slam that function like Inside Zone, and there are other Slams that are just rubbish. I would say this Madden, more than any other, is dependent on play book selection rather than playcall selection.
An Inside Zone is an HB Slam as far as I'm concerned, there's no difference. You want to hit the B gap, or at least press the B gap, if the LBs flow inside then you kick outside. Yet you can't do that with every Slam, depends on the playbook.
There's also some retarded barrier near the line of scrimmage that defenders can't cross. Denog was in a 3-4, I called a counter run, ROLB and RMLB had outside contained perfectly, yet they would not cross the line on their own. Free lane, yet didn't attack the line, they just stood their waiting.
What I'm guessing is that both defenders had some sort of man responsibility, and couldn't come across unless someone took control of them. I just waited for my FB/OG to kick out and picked up a tough 3. Play should have been blown up in the backfield. If you're quick on the sticks you may have blown it up, but the AI should have blown it up regardless.

That's interesting on the counter. I've consistently seen guys in the backfield right where they need to be for my G to pick them up.LJ11 said:
As far as the Zone v Slam, I know you don't call protection audibles at the LOS, but I wonder if that changes the logic of the OL.
I am going to check it out once I get on Madden.

I don't plan on dropping after this season.
I'd probably be leaning towards not coming back, but then again, I'd like to get through the draft part, which I found to be my favorite part of this online franchise experience. And then with whatever new pieces I added to the puzzle, the urge to try it out would be there. So, back to square one again :lol
Some of it is scripted this year, though. That's what we get when idiots complain too much about TEH ANIMATIUNZ!CB3 said:
Have you ever gotten the animation where the back is still running, but they call the play dead? Scripted. Or where the camera magically switches to a closeup/side shot when someone is being tackled? Scripted. WR drop where the ball is clearly in his hands? Scripted. Sideline refs when it's clearly out of bounds? Pile for the ball when the player is clearly standing up with the recovered ball? Players dropping passes after running 5 yards? Or my favorite: pass you didn't "lead" that sails 20 yards over the receiver and right into a defender's hands like he has a pigskin magnet? And on and on. This is the most 2k-esque Madden in that regard.
The protak bullshit is out of control. You guys say it's all about speed backs, but those that can trigger that broken fucking animation are king. There's no need to even follow blocks or run through holes. Just run at a bunch of defenders.
I don't agree completely about the blocking schemes, but I do agree on the scripted nature of this year's game. I wish they would tone it down, but they won't. It'll be worse next year.

I'm more than likely dropping since MLB will be out next week, my son is playing baseball, and I have softball this spring. I stuck out a 2 win season for you bastards though! I'll get my revenge next year.......if I have a better team.

Same.... 1 more week till I'm in sports heaven.
Btw where is Zep? Look at my profile from last year, lag my ass. I never had a disconnect and that was playing over 200 something ranked games, had none in unranked either. He better not vanish this season and blame it on lag.

And we have the DM playing the worst sports game in years :lol

Guess we'll have this argument forever...The problem was never playing anyone geographically close. I've had really smooth games against NYC/Phila people. The problem came when playing Bob, whos in the midwest and from there the game turns to shit with stuttering meters, hits after the ball looks to go by the plate, etc.,
You shouldn't have to put up with this shit now. There's validity to our claims when Sony has the fuckin thing as their main keypoint in the press release. OH HEY GUYS, IT WORKS NOW

Mrbob said:
No it's called me actually knowing how to pitch and hit, unlike how I still can't figure out how to catch/defend in Madden.
Having played baseball my whole childhood/ and high school years before I got sick I so happen to understand how to play it more than Football. I believe as sad as that sounds, helps me in these games.
I'm actually decent at one sport game and can beat your baby bears with shit pitchers and you blame it on Sony :lol
Zep- I never had issues with playing Bob the two times I faced him last year. I also played a shit ton of people all across the US/ Canada and never had issues. Also Ram didn't you pass on Show last year? It was no where near as bad as the year you had the game.

That's what DM does now? :lol Last time I played Dm he couldn't run against the Texans <3
"Miguel beaned JD Drew once because he was tired of him hitting homers, then Jeff Kent came on and hit a 3 run homer. <3"
Figures it would be Kent to hit the hr. Mig deserved that.
