Art Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Probably, but that's only because Madden is based solely on numbers. When a team goes 5-11 player numbers will be decreased. When they go 10-6 they'll be bumped. There's no real coaching component as an advantage. They should work that in to be honest. Part of the program where if you are coached by Bill Parcells you don't blow as many coverages as if you are coached by Spurrier . Something like that.

Jay Master Jay Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 No running back or D-line which is the case. They'll be better when the next game comes out because of our coach and sceme. The Cowboys are a lot better because of Parcells. Gardner drops a lot of passes but I take Canidate out and use Betts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In owner's mode, in the offseason if you get a coach who has a high rating (I'm not sure what affects what) then you will see your players stats higher. For instance, say you hire Junior Seau as your Defensive coordinator, you'll see certain stats for your linebackers in yellow, those are the stats that have gone up. maybe they'll work off of that for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red&BlueRivalry Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I think the Skins are pretty good in Madden. I've won a few times playing with them online. Champ Bailey is my MVP everytime I play. Lots of interceptions and a fantastic kick returner. The offensive line is one of the best in Madden 2004 so I don't care if I don't have a star running back and Coles is just as good as any top receiver. Ramsey might have a low overall rating but that's because he's so young. His important stats, pass accuracy and strength are still high so he's a good QB in that game. The linebackers of course kick arse but my only complaint is the same as the real Redskins, the defensive line sucks! I try to control your team's defensive ends to apply ANY pressure, and other teams quarterbacks have way too much time no matter who I blitz. One little tip, when you play dime packages and your opponent is using a heavy receiver package with little protection, choose the package that plays Arrington and choose a LB blitz. Arrington is another monster in that game and if you manually control him, you can sack the snot out of the QB. The Redskins were a better team than the Cowboys at the beginning of the year but now that Maden has raised the Cowboys defense and Quincy Carter to the correct numbers, they kick arse on Madden.

MadMonkey Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I have played a few games since the last roster update and there is a BIG difference from earlier in the season, example WR drop more balls, other teams break tackles more easily, and the D-line gets pancaked more often plus it's harder to develop a run game which before I had no problem averaging about 80yds rushing a game online. Plus with Ramsey out Hassbecks arm strentgh and awareness is lower which makes it harder to complete passes, plus the Offensive and defensive ratings are down about 3-5 points with the overall team point down I think by 2 or 3. If you play online there is a difference they are definately weaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaSkinzBaby Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Fella's we are Redskins fans but stop the Madness!! Madden Sucks get a real game on a real system, ESPN Football and an Xbox with Xbox Live~ The graphics on Madden are sick (in a bad way) I used to be a Madden Fanatic but I woke up and played ESPN the game play and Ramsey looks like Ramsey, Coles like Coles etc......
