Madden 13: What Is Your Offensive Style?

[Guru03]

I run the air raid, which is never used in the nfl, but a few college teams use it

[I3raiNfreezE]

I also run a west coast offense. Works well in my Bengals CCM with Dalton.

[Stafford2Johnson]

I usually run a Power run scheme with a short passing attack to go along with it. I just can't pass deep, it never works for me.

Vertical offense, I want WRs and HBs with 95+ speed, preferably 6 foot or taller. I use a lot of 3/4 WR sets, usually going for streak routes or curls. Screen passes are also big part of my passing game. Once I get to 1st&Goal situations, my go-to route is a flat route by the TE off of play action.
I like my QB to have 75+ speed, so I can break out some 10-15 yard runs when the CPU plays man to man on streak routes and also have the ability to scramble if needed.
My running game is fairly one dimensional. I mostly use tosses, stretch plays and a few draws up the middle.
I'm more of a high turnover / high scoring / big play guy rather than the guy who eats up clock driving down the field.

I really like corner routes, but can't figure out for the life of me how to throw them. I always try lob passes, but my QBs always seem to underthrow them. I'm no football expert, but my understanding of the corner route is that you throw the ball to a spot where only the receiver can catch it by lobbing it over the DB. In Madden, whenever I try that, the DB intercepts it (my receiver has to reach backward to try and catch it).

Pass first, run out of shotgun more often than behind center

Ground and pound all day. 30+ carries a game unless my defense isn't holding the score low.

For me, I like to run a controlled spread style of offense. Throw it short and open em up for the long passes down the field. At the same time, Mixing in run plays to keep my opponent off balance. I use alot of Air-Raid and west coast concept to move the ball down the field. Aye, it may be boring, but it get the job done.

I like to vary my offensive play style from game to game depending on the team I am facing. Now within HUM vs HUM games I tend to go run heavy (singleback vs 3-4 and I-form and variants vs 4-3) and then PA deep.

When I play VS the CPU I "scout" their depth chart and tend to attack specific players. For instance I look for weak LBs in terms of coverage and try to get them matched with a TE or slot WR. or will run at their weakest DL player.

Always use a team that has a QB that is mobile but not a runner. A quick QB like Romo or Alex Smith. I will occasionally scramble for yardage but mostly I like to move within the pocket to buy time for the receivers.

Defensively I prefer multiple front playbooks and use a heavy rotation of players up front. Using fast nimwits on 3rd and very long for outside pass rush and mixing in different fronts with different sub packages to keep the opposing OFF from getting comfortable.
