Madden NFL 15: Five Tips To Be Better This Fall

[carnalnirvana]

this vid is what madden head to head is all about.

most of what he said is spot on but the GAMEPLAY in madden enables the cheesing.


if you cant make realistic animations and spot on movement then let the ratings level the teams.

there are few backs with great hands, yet in madden i can have a 65 cth HB make 10 catches for 100+yds EVERY GAME...

if a player wants to run a/same play 50 times to megatron i dont mind that, and if he catches it 30 times i can live with that because i should be blanketing megatron. BUT if the entire team can make megatron type catches then there is no possible defense to cover 5 receivers capable of making 90% of all catch attempts...

this is why head to head is trash unless its a sim gamer, every player can do everything, realisitcally if you wanted to pass all day you need to get a blocking back in the back field now you change you playbook.

and a short passing game should get physically punished by hits after the catch but since every wr has kung fu grip they never fumble and never seen to get scared of soft up after multiple crushing hits.


the game does not have fundamental counters to strategies cheese or otherwise...

How can he have the audacity to claim he is teaching how to be "better" at Madden by calling 15 audibles per play and dropping back 10 plus yards each play? Can someone clarify for me what I am missing?

No need to knock the guy for playing the game the way madden is suppose and meant to be played. When most of the gamechangers and guys that madden get feedback from play like this what kind of game do you expect madden to be. Now I didn't expect OS to post a video like this but maybe the tide is shifting here.

"Work on your reads..." You're so focused on your glitchy motioned slot receiver that you miss your wide open wide out every play.

That's just it. He's showing how to play Madden well, not football.

if you dont play like this you can never get close enough to EA to give feedback.

but you are right this is how madden must be played online to win most games. thats why i play unranked when they had it..

Dat boi nailed it.

This is Madden Football. The guy is just doing what all the youtube/tourney/Skillz guys do every year. It's not his fault, this the product EA gives us. It's not about playing realistically it's about winning, finding every "best play" in every "best formation."

Lets be honest, they picked Gamechangers who are "Madden Pros" and tournament/head to head champs. Those guys get youtube hits. We aren't playing football, unfortunately, we are playing Madden. I fear it will always be like this. The "popular crowd" always wins.

Sad, but reality.

One of the best features that people rarely mention when they bring up 2K's football games was the limit they had for just one offensive hot route per snap. The defense, however, could make unlimited pre-play adjustments.

That system helped to make games like 2K8 and 2K5 much more balanced, instead of the unstoppable offensive highlight reel that Madden games have become.
