Cant stop the pass Online

[havoc00]

Any tips? No matter what schemes I use I get abused online with the pass game.

No one can. Work on your offense and score a lot.

Gameplay on All-Pro= No defense against a good USER.

You can do what everyone else does (thanks EA for making it boring ONCE again) and run 1 man pass rush and hope they don't find an open player. I don't do that though. I've pretty much settled that you cannot stop anyone in this game. I just work on red zone defense. You really don't have a choice but to give them what they want up to your 20/15. Even when you have things covered the engine with an infinity of frustrations will screw you by having your defenders all trip over each other like it's the three stooges. And Terrell Suggs is bugged in this game. He gets a roughing the passer call EVERY game I play.

The game is soo full of gimmicks and quick passing on offense this year it's not even worth talking defensive strategy IMO. So much for adding passing icons that were supposed to make passing realistic.

I useally play quarters defense when ppl come out in 3-4 wides or more it seems to stop the high passing yards least for me im on a 3 game win streak and im getting tons of ints. I useally do quick passing on offense cause thats only way i can get pass's off.

Here's something I've had some success with against the pass.

Go to your Quarters 3-deep formation (every playbook has it) and change the set to SS at MLB. This gives you 8 dbs on the field at once. For maximum effectiveness go to your depth chart and put your 5th CB at your backup SS position then in the playcalling screen sub your #1 SS out and back in at his default position. This will put your CB at MLB which in most cases will give you better man coverage.

From that set you can just run Man 3 Deep, but make sure to press cover so that your CBs aren't playing back by your safeties. This is a pretty effective defense against somebody who is only going to pass the ball as every receiver is manned up by a CB and you still have deep coverage. If there is no threat of them running draw plays you can also sub in your best pass rushers at the 3 down lineman positions.

If you're playing an opponent who is doing more than just dropping back and passing try coming out in that same formation then audible to another formation/play. Personally I like going from the setup above to a 3-3-5 play. What happens in that case is that the LE goes to ROLB and the middle safety goes to nose tackle. From there you can blitz the LE at ROLB and drop the safety at nose tackle into a spy or a hook zone. This can actually get you very good pressure with only a 3 man rush and the zone coming from right over the ball is very effective against quick passes.

The biggest thing to running this D is knowing who you have on your team. If you have the wrong personnel in the wrong spot you can get smoked real bad with this.
