Madden players thread- money plays!

The online play is pretty good. It lags sometimes, but it' s not bad at all. The good thing is they've cut down on all the cheese from last year. The running game is SWEET!!! Portis is a beast!! The passing is a little tough at first, but it gets easier. I still haven't figured out our playbook. It has like 14 different sets out of the singleback. It's insane. So many plays.

this may seem like an odd question, but is anyone else having problems with their game? I CANNOT make it through an entire game without my PS2 freezing. It will just stop and make a strange buzzing sound... the controller also vibrates until I reset the game.

My PS2 is only 3 years old and I do not have this problem with NCAA, any other game, or any DVD's I watch. I even returned the first copy of Madden I got and the same problem is going on.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I forgot the formation, but it's a running play. I thnk it's a HB sprint. Where Randy Thomas pulls to the left just follow him to the second level and he'll block a LB and use portis speed for a long 1st down or TD. That play is great. Sometimes I use Dockey but after a couple seasons after his blocking improves in my franchise.

PS. If anybody wants to play on xbox live my gamertag is Ramsey2Moss46

Maybe it's a bad disc. It could be scratched.:whoknows:

There's a single-back, two-wr (on the same side) set that has a Play-action, and the WRs on the left run: one does a short slant, and one does a long post.

If the safety comes down to cover the other WR, your outside WR will get open pretty well.

I've elevated james thrash to #2 receiver and on this play, he's pretty money.

Also, in singleback Big, the TE zoom play: both TEs run 5-yard outs. You can hit Cooley on a lot of these coverages; if not, look to Royal. If the LBs blow some coverage, you can break this for fifteen... but it's nearly a guaranteed first down if you need 4-6 yards...

this is strange...

everytime I run the full house formation curl routes, where cooley and sellers go out for passes, it freezes... as soon as I hike it.

This sounds like a problem with this batch of madden's, since its so specific. Take it back to the store and explain the problem and ask for a copy from a different batch. If they won't exchange it because its such a small problem, email/call EA directly.

:cheers:

I've played the ESPN game for the last few years and thought the playbook in Madden is a little weak content-wise.

I haven't played a lot, but cut-back running plays always seem to do well.

Houston has a good playbook, BTW.

You haven't played online long enough, there are more glitches/AI weakneses in this years games as previous years....example for the last years Madden as well as this year, you can tell if your opponent is running or passing and the only way to prevent it is by using certain formations or using formation specific audibles.

The other glitch is a looser can disco you while you get the loss and his game doesn't count... this applies to XBox as well

Any out patterns to Cooley

This is my favorite play though

Single back, 2 TE set

Play action roll out, Moss is going deep, and Cooley is underneath on the same side

You can hit Moss for the homerun, or go short to Cooley and get the first down

Because of this play alone (and the different formations you can run it from) Cooley had 106 catches for me in one season, and my 3rd down conversion rate was something like 80 percent

Moss on the other hand averaged 52 yards per catch for me, (he only caught 22) but had 13 TD's out of them

Only problem with it is if a corner blitz comes, Ramsey will get sacked before he can roll out

def. the CD, saying that it's a rental just seals the deal, ppl dont take care of those like they should, and it shows cuz it's affecting your win loss record, dont keep playing because it'll keep happeneing. Either buy the game or tell the store about it and maybe they'll have a better copy
