Official Madden Season 11 Thread: The school books say it can't be here again!
- Thread starter FrenchMovieTheme
- Start date
Since a surprising 7 people have voted for the league to start next Thursday, yet Friday is still winning..maybe we could compromise and extend the length of the first week by a couple days. I have no issues with the league starting tomorrow and advancing in the usual 4 days or so, but I don't want to alienate 7+ people.
And oh yeah, if you're one of the 12 people who hasn't voted..

Wow, four drops in my game vs. Matt. Boo-urns.
Might have to return to the 3-4. Tried the Cover 2 playbook because I thought it was a fit for St. Louis' style. Not so much. Might give the standard 4-3 playbook a go if I get another exhibition game in, but I think I'll probably wind up using the "Multiple" playbook again this year.
Also, PA rollouts are ridiculous in this game. But I think we already knew that
(I had a corner blitz, and the *corner* bit on the run)

The only real way to stop PA rollouts is to manually tell a lineman not to tackle the RB. They're a real risk/reward thing, though, because you can get sacked so easily.

That option sounds like a perfect fit for both groups.

Yeah, Ando's the king of stopping PA (I couldn't playaction pass in our playoff game)... in our game, I tried controlling the DE, but most of the plays were running plays.... and I really can't stand being out that wide, whether it's a run or a pass. My comfort zone is at tackle.

When will you be back from Atlantic City, Malley?
You're my opponent in week 1, so I'm just checking to see when you'll want to play if the league starts tomorrow.

Nope. Only routes are drags, slants, hooks, go, slant and go, and ins and outs.
Oh and Rors, the manual just says Left Stick or D-pad is "lead the receiver." It says nothing about up being a jump pass--even though many times it will lead to one.
In my experience the only way I can trigger a speed receiver beat his man and get separation for the deep ball is to use up on the D-pad. As I experimented against dammitmattt, even when the QB is fully set with no pressure, a WR on a go route will not get that separation without using up on the stick/d-pad and you will throw an INT 9 times out of 10.

Even with one on one against an average CB, and pressing up as I throw..Marvin Harrison's success on go routes is very limited due to the eyes in the back of the head jumping CBs.. It wouldn't be fair for those passes to be completed every time, granted, but the amount of 'touch' you can put on deep passes is severely limited due to the flying swats.
Those dots weren't for you, guy!Fifty said:
Luckily, you're not on my schedule, so you can continue leaving the middle wide open and blitzing on every down. :]LukeSmith said:Fifty is right, it is hard to beat someone on a "go" -- even with Harrison. Most of r0rnex's throws involve him scrambling to the right while a dude comes over the middle tho, so he doesn't really throw a lot of go

Way to not represent, Luke! Have we taught you nothing?!BryanI said:Yes! I've been telling Luke every week that I want to join--after of course, beating him in yet another game of Madden

The reason it works so well for DM is because he loves playing defense so much. I think he likes it a lot more than playing offense. He'd probably punt on first down if he knew he had to pass on third.

I am actually debating punting on first down in my games against DM all season. Just as an experiment.

:lol
It's funny, because its true! I get my jollies off of nailing punts inside the 5....mmm!
I lost 2 games last season because I tried to actually score TDs in the redzone instead of kicking the gimme FG. If I win those 2 games, I might have had a deeper run in the playoffs! Never again! Project: DMBall II is online.
