Madden 10: AskMadden Tip of the Week

[RaychelSnr]

Madden has always mirrored the NFL. In this week's tip, we look at what the Philadelphia Eagles have to take into account if they want to be successful passing the ball. This logic goes hand-in-hand with the Madden football series.

Bottom line, fast receivers are only a threat when they have space to use their speed. To overcome physical corners as well as inexperience, we hit practice mode to demonstrate how the Eagles in the NFL, as well as teams with undersized receivers in Madden, get open space for their playmakers to create big plays.

Good stuff, thanks!

Using picks to get open? Seriously? No offense to the OP, but it constantly amazes me at what passes for strategy in Madden.

Then what do you suggest for people that abuse the over powered bump and run coverage in this game?

And though picks are illegal, teams get away with it 80% of the time at least.

I don't play online, but in APF2K8 you could do a couple of things against guys that abuse bump.

1. Get a Bump Master receiver
2. Motion a receiver and then hike the ball before the defense could get set.
3. Use Arrow Routes
4. Use double move routes
5. Use Screen Plays
6. Use Flats

There's probably a couple of more I forgot. The strategy showed in this video is more of a problem with pathing in Madden than a planned pick. i.e. More along the lines of an exploit rather than utilizing real football strategy.

That is all fine and dandy but the game we are talking about is Madden, not APF2K8. "Picks" happen every Sunday, some WR's even use the referees as landmarks. So its not all that unheard of.
