evucci Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hey guys- just got Madden 2006 and I'm using the Redskins (of course). I thought we could share our "money plays" for this season. They've changed since last year. Anyone have anything that's unbeatable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I just got the PC version. No money plays as such. Play action deep routes would be the closest thing to it, but part of that depends on your protection and if they're blitzing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoGiK Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 hows the online play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVCChairman Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 the only money play is pretty much any play moss is one-on-one and you can get him the ball, he can pretty much run past the defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evucci Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evucci Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 My favorite running play is the Singleback- Deuce Wing- Counter H Strong It gets Portis outside on the counter- it's money. Passing is still a work in progress, I haven't had time to go through the plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwebst1 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimFolk Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evucci Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 I've heard of people's games freezing up during online play because of a problem with their ISP- I haven't ever heard of this happening to anyone during regular game play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwebst1 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englitdaudelin Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThornWithin Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Run the Counter. It's so pwnage. I average like 10 ypc with it with Portis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bounty Hunter #21 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I always use the singleback formation with Cooley and Royal on the right side of the line....I throw alot of passes Cooley's way bc he never drops a pass and runs over defenders...good when u r in the redzone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is they've cut down on all the cheese from last year. The running game is SWEET!!! . 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricucci Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Having a hard time with the new passing but if you can start your read to one side of the field and send Portis to the opposite and then swing your vision back and throw to Portis he is usually left uncovered. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie0720 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I like any plays that have a corner route really. The corner is usually open over top an out or a hitch, especially if you roll out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsD Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I can't remember the name of the play but when the ball is snapped Campbell fakes hands the ball to the FB, spins and tosses it to Portis who is now almost at the back of the RT. ALways getting big plays out of this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Flames Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 ok, so i connect to the servers, go into the lobby rooms, start a game, and when it come to the screen where you select heads or tails, it just freezes, and because of this, im 0-8, with a dnf of 100%, i know it's not my isp, cause i play other games online without a problem, could this be the cd, it's a rental btw?

Either buy the game or tell the store about it and maybe they'll have a better copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
