Will the "nano Blitz" be in madden 11?

[will12203]

Ok I know there is a way to stop it. Well sometimes if your playing a guy that is not very good at it. But I have come across a few very high ranked guys 30-40 ranked that are very good at it.(I am level 29 playing 95% of my games with the Buffalo Bills) Just the other day I lost a game to a guy I was using my Bills and he was using Jacksonville I think. All he would do is sweep's pitches and nano's. The game was close but when it came down to it he beat me in the end with the nano's by forcing me to throw instantly even when I shifted the line ...and also when I was in one back sets he would blitz the A gap and sack my QB before I could even hand the ball off. Of course some A gap blitzing should work. But this should not be something that works nearly all the time if perfected. I was just wondering if the new locomotion engine will perhaps "tame" (for a lack of a better word) some of the nano's blitzing down? Anyone care to offer more incite into this?

lol I'm a level 33 and I only play with my Falcons, and I PRAY the Nano's are out. People that don't no how to use Nano's properly, you can get around it -- but when you play people higher in rank and level, the Nanos just become literally unbeatable.

Most of the people in this community don't play Online, so its actually nice to have someone with the same issue that is key to me. That "A" gap blitz just ruined the Madden experience for -- and is what slowly stopped me from playing this years Madden. The only real way to contain the "A" gap Nano blitz is to run the ball or stay in shotgun the entire game...but even that gets blown up if someone knows the correct ways to run it.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been any info on the OLine AI, or pass blocking in general, so for people like me and you...only time will tell. Hopefully the Locomotion will have an effect on the Nanos though.

I am holding out hope that when they move the guys around the OL will adjust/lock on to the MLB or who ever it may be that is lining up for that nano. I hope to goodness they fix this. I have been looking around wanting to hear anything on it.

Based on the vids thus far, it looks like it's going to be in. Our only hope is that the online assignments will pick these guys up once they move them around/closer to the line.

I'm optimistic that the old school man on man blocking schemes that Madden has will be adjusted this season evidenced by the fact that they've shown clear improvement in OL run blocking.

My fingers are crossed!

Yeah, I no what your talking about -- I've seen it with the early videos of NCAA, they actually have the blocking assignments of who is suppose to block who, so maybe there is hope. It sucks that we are the minority (in the forum) of the people that play online and have to deal with this issue because it definitely doesn't get as much attention as it should.

But as you said, all we can do is hope that the OLine just has the proper AI to pick up there assignments to get the offense a chance.

Well I don't play online alot. But I hope that they fixed the AI blitzing. Last year the AI Blitz so often. It was annoying. Hoping they fixed it.

This is the number 1 reason my son stopped playing Madden online. And he stopped all together because he does not like to play against the cpu. I would assume there are a ton of others in the same boat.
