From Worst to First: Turning Around the Oakland Raiders in Madden

[RogueHominid]

I have recently found lots of ways to get Reece the ball. In terms of finding your playmaker, he's the one.

I'm currently experimenting with the STL book, which has several direct plays in the running and passing game for the FB, including more downfield routes that swings and checkdowns, and which also has plenty of FB/HB sub packages or Jumbo Backfield packages that get Reece in at HB.

I make sure he gets 10-12 touches a game and he usually comes up with at least one big play per game due to his odd combination of speed and catching ability.

Also, I'd say to play those young corners. Cut Rogers and play McGill, Carrie, and Chekwa. Several young guys have great size and press ability to go with decent speed, so you only need to up AWR and maybe the coverage values slightly to turn them into great press man guys.

First thing I do with Oakland is build up the secondary, then go DT. Signed Byron Maxwell in FA. Grabbed five rookies on defense in the first draft - CB, CB, S, DT(83ovr), DT. I noticed these positions are very deep! Season after next I should probably have the best D line and secondary in the league.

Raiders offense plus Rams playbook. That is all.
