Hey Guys, this info is from a post by Designer Larry Richart posted on the EA Sports Blog last week. We have taken the news and digested it, here are the top 13 changes that really stuck out in our mind.
13. Post Snap Controls –
Once you snap the ball in both EA Sports Football titles this season, you will feel comfortable. Both games now have the same post snap controls from pitching the ball to using the same WR icons. Now, you will no longer pump fake when trying to throw ... Read More

EA Sports is once again holding a fan vote to select a cover athlete for Madden NFL 13! This year the field moves to 64 players with 2 from each team getting selected. As the candidates get announced, ZFarls from MaddenTips.com looks to see who is the favorite to take down the cover and look to break the curse!
The Favorite-
Tim Tebow 7/5 – Tebow won Madden Bowl for #TeamClutch and also was on NCAA Football 11 cover. His Florida ties make him a good chance, ... Read More

Today, we explore how to get your best players in position to win! Here are some key substitution concepts that will make you a better Madden 11 player.
1. Use the speed package - Madden 11 is all about speed. Using this package will get you more CB's on the field in place of slow LB's who can't matchup with a 4 WR scheme. Before selecting your formation on defense, use the RS to select the "speed package" ... Read More

Week 1 - Overall Team Power Rankings
ELITE
1.Cowboys- From top to bottom, this team has all the weapons. Romo can move just enough, they have a dual headed monster and tons of different WR types.
On Defense - They have tremendous speed in the secondary and the ability to exchange pieces and play any style.
2.Vikings -Almost took the top spot with Moss, but still have a Top Back, Fast QB, Old QB, Array of fast and tall WR’s. Best DL in the game makes up for back 7. ... Read More

This is a little less sim, but still an important concept for football fans everywhere!
Unbumpables
Questions to ask ourselves!
Are we being bumped? Which WR’s are being bumped? Why are they bumping us?
First, you must recognize if the defense IS playing bump and run. It is a strategy that good players use to bring pressure and throw off timing. “Pressing the WR” has been effective year after year in Madden. If the CB’s slide up close to your WR’s then ... Read More

Here is a great write up by forum member JDub15! He gives us some great advice about how to fight and claw when playing a really tough opponent on defense. Sgibs played a tough match on TWIM 22 and was able to eek out a 6-3 win with some of these tactics as well!
Thanks Jdub, now check it out!
1) Don't abandon the run, 99% of madden players abandon the run way too early even when it is effective. Stick with the running game, defense is 100x easier when you know for sure ... Read More

Ahh, time to speculate!
Does this make the Vikings the best team in Madden 11? How about of all-time?
We have talked about how the Patriots were the greatest team in all of Madden history during Madden 08.
Now that Moss is officially on the Vikings, does this make them the greatest offense in Madden history?
How do the 08 Pats and 11 Vikings Matchup?
QB – Brady vs Favre and TJack
Brady in 08 was fierce, he had great THP and ACC, ... Read More

Hi, my name is ZFarls and I am addicted to the blitz. The problem for me so far in Madden 11 is that when I play Cover 0 (No safety help) and force a short throw, the RB can often break one tackle and be off to the races. While, the O can't beat me deep, due to my blitz pressure, short throws on long downs like 3rd and 17 are often picked up due to 1 tackle being busted.
Look, I understand that broken tackles do happen and especially against top backs in the league (CJ, AP) but if Darren ... Read More

Here are some key points which will cost average players Madden games against higher level players. If you consistently make these mistakes, you will be destined to your current level and will have trouble beating top competition.
1. Getting Away From Your Gameplan -
If you don’t play with set audibles and some type of consistent set’s of plays then you are going to lose many games. Even if the game is going well early, you will be more apt to make drastic changes and pick a ... Read More

Here are 5 Things I look for in a good base passing play!
Here is what I expect out of my passing plays.
-A quick read that must be defended against
-A route that consistently beats man
-The option to add protection based on defensive look
- A route that gets to the 1st down marker
-A late outlet or flat route as a safety valve
Ex. Madden 10 Post Corners! ... Read More

ZFarls wants to talk about pounding the magic bean today in Madden 11!
So MB Nation, NCAA 11 comes out and I literally find the best run in the game the first time I played.
Naturally, Madden doesn’t have the exact same play or success when running it. So I crutch back to passing the ball and only running in obvious situations. Mostly out of goal-line without a good quick passing option.
When are you running the ball, does your opponent know? Either by game ... Read More

Here at Madden Bible, we have preached about the importance of usering defenders and how to master the art of the user pick.
Today's post will break down our favorite players to user and why we find them to be such gems. Without further ado, here are the top 11 user defenders in Madden 11.
11. Kenny Phillips- This Giant (pun intended) was becoming a force early in last season before losing out to injury. In Madden 11 he is back and brings a good combo of speed, ... Read More

What are we loving about Madden 11? What could use some work?
While the general gameplay and overall feel of the game is solid, here is where the game could be better…
-Gus Johnson adds excitement and a new sound to the game which is great right from the start.
-Can’t say I love all the advertisments in the game though. I actually wont buy or eat doritos because I just don’t like being bombarded after paying 60 bucks for the game. I ... Read More

Clearly thats the idea which is DOMINATING talk right now. If something isn't broken then why fix it? Here are a few more thoughts from my 3 games with the Xbox demo so far...
-Strategy Pad, hmm, lets not jump to conclusions…I HATE IT. Not because it doesn’t work, but almost because they changed it for no reason. Ex. Slide the line used to be trigger then direction. Now you have to hit left, down, left. They added an extra button in for no reason. Now I understand that once we adapt ... Read More
