All of the following is true no matter what team you use or playing against

The OLine- Made a post about this already. Has pressing R1 or L1 ever actually working for anyone to get thru CPU's line? Basically the only way to sackthe QB is pick an end and hope to out run their tackle on the snap, you can get out an hour glass and time how long the QB has to sit in the pocket. And when youre on offense your line is stupid as #%++ even with the slide protections. And doing the training for a game doesnt do anything either

The DLine: Every game youre going against the Steel Curtain Steelers. Most youre getting on the ground is like 3 or 4 yards. And dont even think about callinga playaction. By the time you fake the hand off and get back in the upright position the defense is already back there and its a sack or a sack and a fumblelost thanks in part to the non existant o-line

Running Game: Like i said above, you arent getting more than 3 or 4 yards a carry. The "weapons" dont mean jack !#!%. First of all they dont doanything and the rare time you actually pull off a duck under tackle, truck, or stiff arm you get slowed down so much that youll be tackled within a halfsecond by another defender, unless youre than computer using Ladainain tomlinson and can stiff arm about 3 or 4 people before youre tackled.

Passing Game: The rare occasion your OLine gives you time to pass youre going against Deion Sanders at every position. Its almost to complete a pass over 10yards because their cpu's DBs dont get beat and the run the routes better than your WRs, they also hit like Roy Williams so on that rare occasion you dontget picked off its gonna be knocked outta your hands. And dont forget about the MLBs that can jump about 15 feet in the air. And when youre on D it gets evencheaper. Randy Moss, Steve Smith, and T.O. dont go off for 100+ yards multi TD games against me. Its Jason Witten, Reggie Bush, or Dante Rosario on the weak%$+ screen passes, yall know the ones im talking about. The ones that go for about 4-7 yards on third down or for the TD. Zone doesnt work because the cpualways finds away to beat a zone and if youre in man to man, as soon as they catch theyre gonna break the tackle of whoever you put on them and by the timehelp comes the damage has already been done.

2 Minute Drill: If you lead by less than TD and the cpu has the ball you can pretty much just chalk that up as a loss because no matter who youre playingagainst the CPU turns into Joe Montanna. EVERY PASS get completed and when you do bat a ball away another WR is right there to conviently catch it. And ifyoure losing and got the ball under 2 minutes left in the game the following is guranteed to heppen; 1. Someone on your team always gets hurt forcing you toautomatically lose a T.O., 2. You get blitzed every down and of course the oLine doesn't block them. 3. Automatic int, the cpu doesn't bobble or bat itdown
 
Good, I thought it was just me. I swear I wanted to throw this game out the window...2k9 is starting to work my nerves as well.

Sad that this is the most sincere post you've ever made here.

Maybe if you tried steroids you'd be better at the game.

No need to quote, everything he has said is completely true, he shares the same frustrations I have with the game.

Or maybe im better at than you since i got a higher IQ rating?
 
In the past i would have agreed with everything you said. But now, I have learned to play the game and I know how to exploit weaknesses. I'm ranked onlineso I know I'm getting the hang of things. I'll help you guys out, against the computer when your trying to get a sack, blitz from one side. On a 4-3defense, you have to basically outnumber the number of blockers on one side, so get two defensive linemen together on one side and blitz the linebacker rightbehind them. This has been the only way I have gotten to the QB on all madden. Also, when you have everyone covered in a zone, the QB usually holds on to theball waiting for someone to pass the ball so you get sacks that way too. This game does lack in blitz schemes. Cause honestly, its impossible to blitz throughthe middle. Only side blitzes from the left or right side have worked for me. But hey, if i figure a way to blitz in the middle I'll try to help ya outtoo.
 
Dudes that thing Madden is "cheap" are obviously just garbage at the game. You're like that one kid who throws the controller off the wall andswears im using madden cards. You just suck homie.

2K9 = JB
 
the only think i agree with you on is the pass rush and pass defense...RI and L1 are useless, user sacks from the start of the play are rare as hell...whenyou're on defense in coverage, its not as bad as you make it out to be there is that omnipresent feeling of "+%+% at any time the cpu can pull of abig play"...that +%+% is frustrating but to me its not that its happening every time its just that i feel like you have absolutely no control over theoutcome of the play...if the cpu offense wants to score, it will

As for the running game and passing game when the cpu is on defense, i find moving the ball through the air very easy...however balls that hit any DB or LB intheir hands will be caught and intercepted so its kind of risk...at the 15 -17 yard line a deep post from the slot is unstoppable, you time it right andyou'll always score a tud

the running game REALLY frustrated me at first, like i thought that +%+% was bull **+@ but you really just gotta learn how to run the ball...you actually haveto see the holes, and capitalize them on like it years past and if there's nothing there, there's nothing there...i really dont recommend holding downsprint the second your RB gets the ball unless there is just a gaping hole, you're just giving your O line less time to make holes...also, holding R1 assoon as contact is made is crucial, unless of course you're trying to break the tackle, the protect ball move (RI) is really just a bull doze button...ithink that +%+% is lightweight unfair
laugh.gif
you'll get an extra 3-4 yards almost every time...oh yea and running to the outside is a no, no, defenders arejust to fast, even with Reggie Bush in my dynasty that +%+% doesnt work a majority of the time...

in all honesty everything you said is true and has been altered from last years game...i was definitely frustrated for the first couple of weeks playing butreally its for the better...imo the game is an excellent representation of simulation football

you really shouldnt have trouble averaging 4.5-5.5 yards a carry with a decent running back...youre not gonna bust a slew of 20+ yards a game +%+% is like realfootball

edit: and FIFA 2009 this tuesday FTW! if you want to look at sports video game perfection play 2008

i never thought i would find a game with the replayvalue of COD4 or FIFA 2008...and the demo is ridiculous, who would of thought they could improve so many of the little imperfections from last year...i beplayin 2 minute game after 2 minute game

you suck, i can get thru with my dt playing with the giants. If your not good at madden try 2k9 or get the ällmighty"2k5. Eveeryone keeps complaining,just burn the game, youll feel better. :-p

both worked my nerves until i learned how to control them. just gotta either 1.know the sport you are playing or 2. either know or learn how to play videogames.
 
Lol, I get really fustrated when I fumble, throw ints, get sacked, not able to complete a wide open pass, my linemen always slack off during 3rd and 10 and letthe opponent get a free down.
 
I hate how LBs and even DLs can leap in the air and get a pick like their DBs. If Im throwing a bullet 15 yrds down the field over your head how are you gonnajust jump 15ft in the air and snatch it up like its nothing.
smh.gif


But CPU is so easy, just play on all madden and youll see the plays they run are really simple and repetitive.
