Are u sure this is a thing? I feel like I've slid already just holding down the one button. Then again, I feel like I tried and Aaron fumbled when he should have slid lol

I f---ing s--- at moving the ball this year. I've played like 4 games and got destroyed in all of them. My offense, my defense... Nothing works

 

Aug 30, 2016

100% sure lol I found out the hard way trying to slide with X and diving the first few times before I realized

What difficulty are you playing on? I'm doing a warmup season on All Pro but I'm 7-0 with the Jags and it's not that challenging I'm sure All Madden will be

 

Aug 30, 2016

all pro. I just need to lab and figure out some plays that work. My defense needs help too. 7-0 would be awesome

Try some plays that have either the TE or a fast WR running a short drag route and hit them right after they pass the center, and press the run after catch button

Appreciate this bro.

Also, what defense should I be running majority of the time? Cover 4 until it doesn't work? I seriously don't even know anymore

Your boy bortles by the way lol, I see u

Really depends on the situation, defense is hard though I usually control a pass rusher and try to time the snap right. What are you having trouble stopping, the pass? Cover 2 and Cover 3 might work better for an every down play but I like to send LB or occasionally DB blitzes very often. Edge sting always been one of my favorites.

Thanks again for the tips, blitzing the s--- out of these teams. I lost 31-3 against the Jags ironically week 1, Vikings up now

 

Aug 30, 2016

I jinxed myself in this thread im 8-1 now

This game is pretty realistic this year, Romo was on the IR and i had injury option turned off.

Enjoying the game but d--- does anyone else find the announcer annoying af with the way he drags on the last word of everything he says?

I'm the one who convinced @M.I.C. to get Madden and now he's in here like he created the game.. lmaoo nah.

Game has been great so far. LOVING the dynasty mode. The "Key Moments" feature is great. Not only does it make the games/season go by quicker, but another thing I love is that it gets your guys computer generated stats for half the game. For example, Pierre Garcon is my 2nd WR and I think i've thrown him the ball once when I'm playing, yet he has like 50 catches and 600+ yards on the season.

QB injuries are still a joke, though. Marcus Marriota got hurt for 8 weeks during the Pre-season & with Mike Vick as my backup - I opted to trade Marriota and my 1st round pick for my boy Tyrod Taylor (FIGHT ME). 1st play with Tyrod, dislocated elbow. Out 8 weeks lmaooo.

Idk if I like the addition of the FG blocking system.
For example, the other day during my franchise, I was down 3 with time running out and no timeouts left. Play clock was about 2 seconds different from the game clock so the CPU opted to kick a field goal as time expired. I come around the edge, block it and take it back for 6 for the win lmaoo. I also had 2 FG blocked earlier in the day. First time i've ever seen FG's blocked in a football game in my life. Been playing since Madden 01.

What team do you use? I find my most success targeting my TE. They always seem to have the best routes. I did a fantasy draft and took Laderius Green and that dude is almost uncoverable being an 89 speed matching up against LBs.

 

Aug 31, 2016

Packers. I had a much better game after @M.I.C. posted a couple tips, still lost but only because I fumbled in the red zone last drive

TE is huge tho, I agree

Create a character first. Once teams make official final cuts Ill start losing as chip kelly then.

 

Aug 31, 2016

I want this game so bad, but then I remember 2K17 comes out in a few weeks and then Madden will be history. I might just wait till it drops down it price next year.

I tell everyone to Redbox it first before buying it. Specially with the situation you just explained. It's like 3 bucks a day. Or if you have a Family Video near you it's like 10 bucks for 5 days. It will hold you over.

But I know what you mean, back in the day I would get NCAA when it dropped then pick up Madden a few months later and would end up only playing which ever one I liked better that particular year. I would end up like "feeling bad" for the game for not playing it
