Madden NFL 10: Slip Screen

[jyoung]

Screens are money in this game regardless of whether it's going to the WR or HB.

Madden 11 needs to improve the flat coverage big time.

The problem is that Madden's "light blue" flat zones don't work properly.

Instead of staying in the flat, the defender backs up 10 yards off the line of scrimmage as soon as the ball is snapped.

That's why screens are so money against zones, even a hard cover 2.

This is why I play as the MLB in a zone or as the DE in man/blitz. If I see the linemen pull, I'll bring my DE out to cover the RB, effectively blowing up that play.

Lb and de containment plays blows up screens as well. One time I picked off a screen for a pick six.

the more and more i see all these money plays they show it makes me wonder why OS endorses these guys

Far from a money play. My friend and I play 10-12 games a week and using slip screens works very well sometimes, but they are very easy to stop. It is up to the human player to watch for pulling linemen, then rush down there to help on the play.

The version of slip screen they show in the video is especially easy to stop. Anytime I see an unbalanced formation and I am in man I move the weak side safety more towards the sideline to stop the tosses, sweeps, and screens towards the weak side. That usually leaves the TE open for a steam or slant, so I make the DBs show blitz to move the FS more in the middle of the field.

Used correctly the slip screen is effective, while I still don't feel cheated. If you wanna complain about money plays, how about any play with a drag??

I play exclusively offline and I find the slip screen is much less effective after Patch 2. The CPU lets me run it effectively once or twice a game, but blows it more often than not, or at least limits it to short yardage.
