Madden 12 - Who will have the best strategy guide for purchase?

[vumpler]

I work 60-80 hours a week and love madden. I get together on Sunday's with the boys and we play madden mornings, watch football during the day, then madden again at night.

So I get basically 1-2 days a week max to play madden. A few of the guys get to play 5 or 6 days a week and hang out in practice mode etc.

I remember seeing a ton of sites last year advertising they have guides on madden, what plays work "better", how to stop this run, and that run etc.

Which of these guides online seems to be the most beneficial to you in years past? I think I'm going to buy one this year so I can read up on madden while on flights etc.

Thanks all.

While I always get it, the game guide at gamestop is a waste...it's a good instruction manual detailing features and how to use them but the strategy stuff doesn't exist. It gives you a guide on features, what buttons to use etc. It gives you team rosters and players to watch, it talks about franchise mode a bit (some draft strategy was ok here) and a nice tutorial about reading Defenses and what plays will or won't work against a D...but it's sparse...and little else on strategy.
I think I could write a better strategy guide. That said I"ve seen great tutorials on Youtube.
One guy changed my life forever on passing with this simple point. "Let your WR (on crossing patterns) clear the LB"....simple but I'd never thought about it.

What about the "online" guides? With videos how to run offenses etc?

Online guides are the best.

Would love a list of the ones to consider, and your opinion of which one is the best.

MaddenTips dot com and MaddenGuides dot com are both sites that look like they sell guides.

I'm interested to hear everyone's perspective on ones they've purchased.
