Enter Apotheosis Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Not tooting my own horn at all. I'm talking about people going 15-1 and saying how stupid madden is. I'm 4-6 right now in my 2nd season. First one was All-Pro. Ah, I see. I honestly don't know too many people who do that. Typically All Madden is where you see the flaws and limitations of the game most glaringly expressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Drafted Andrew Luck in year 3 of my franchise (played some games in the first two, but my intent was to play the third season from the start)... 4th preseason game. Out for season. Son of a *****. At least I got Ryan Tannehil, who's a 78 in year 2 (vs. Luck as an 88 as a rookie) at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew_Fl Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Ah, I see. I honestly don't know too many people who do that. Typically All Madden is where you see the flaws and limitations of the game most glaringly expressed. This is true. All Madden is garbage. It makes you resort to way too many money plays to win. Can I still outsmart the CPU on All-Madden? Of course. Is it fun? Absolutely not. When you call a running play and the entire D-line pancakes YOUR O-line by the time you handoff, something is wrong with the game. Welcome to All-Madden.

No Excuses Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Madden gives you the option to adjust the sliders. www.operationsports.com Find the sliders some people have posted. Try some of them out, tweak them a bit and use them. The one I'm using right now are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Dave Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 For the life of me I can't figure out the deal with the R3 button on defense on PS3? Everything is happening so fast that I can't figure out how to shift my d-line or my corners. How do I change what a defensive player is going to do. Like rush the Qb or play zone or whatever. Any help will be great. I feel like a total noob!!! Hahaha!!! Help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help will be great. I feel like a total noob!!! Hahaha!!! Help!!! This takes practice b/c EA changes it every year it seems. I'll do my best to help... 1. Switch to desired defensive player to hot route 2. Hit DOWN on the D-Pad to bring up the individual hot route menus 3. If you want to hot route him into Pass Coverage, use the D-Pad: - UP - Drop into deep zone - Left - Cover the flat to one side of the field - Right - "Curl to flat" zone. (Drop back diagonally basically) - Down - Straight blitz 4. If you want to hot route him into QB contain/spy flick the Right Stick: - Right - QB Contain - Left - QB spy - Up - I cant remember - Down- I can't remember I may have a couple of them switched and there is a couple i don't remember off the top of my head, but that is the gist. I suggest using practice mode. Also, if you want to shift entire units, there is the DB's (Up on the D-pad), LB's (Right on the D-Pad), D-line (Left on the D-pad), and individual (Down on the D-pad as i described above) EDIT: now that i think about it, I'm pretty sure I messed up which direction does what, but like I said the basic procedure is still there. The in-game menu will tell you correctly anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you call a running play and the entire D-line pancakes YOUR O-line by the time you handoff, something is wrong with the game. Welcome to All-Madden. I only get mad when a linebacker, who's running the WRONG WAY, manages to either change direction or stick his hand up to deflect a pass. And it happens every ****ING time. Always irritating. I can actually handle all of the other bull****, but a back to the play linebacker cannot knock a pass down thats intended for a receiver 15 yards down the field.....

S.T.real,lights,out Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Was suckered in again. Got it yesterday and have played about three games and i like it a lot so far. I hated last years but so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 this rain **** makes the game unplayable with the Redskins I average about 60 yards passing and a 33% completion percentage on franchise with my stud QB I drafted I'm starting Terrelle Pryor now smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portis for 6 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Not doing so well (maybe do to the fact I've played COD for so long?) But at the same-time it may bee the 3-4 D at least with the skins I'm just custom to play a 4-3. Even last year I made a custom 4-3 defense. Ohhhh!! Why mess with kicking meter? I have not made a PAT since I've got the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Why mess with kicking meter? I have not made a PAT since I've got the game first: wow, you suck! second: I think that's exactly the point. Kicking has been too easy to nail a 65 yarder every time. I like it to be harder (though I can't say I've missed any PATs or short FGs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Brasi Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I finally picked up the game today. First off, the Redskins SUCK, and I mean suck BAD. I couldn't complete a 5 step drop against the Giants without taking a sack. Secondly, unless I'm missing something, EA thinks that Banks got cut. I can't find him anywhere on the updated roster. Other than that, I like the gameplay. The rain sucks though, I hope that gets fixed at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't see Banks, you don't have the updated roster. The Redskins aren't bad, either. Our QBs are bad but we have a ton of team speed and a pretty damn good defense.

The QB's aren't even the worst part - the OL barely let's Grossman or Beck get 3 steps before they get sacked.

(Assuming your opponent is smart enough to send any type of blitz) The OL does do some pretty boneheaded things every now and then but it's not that big of a deal. Good playcalling and quick reads go a long way towards mitigating that kind of problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Are they going to fix the rain issue? I might have to relocate the Skins into a dome stadium because rain every game is incredibly annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
