Big Hits

[purduepete]

After playing against GB multiple times on franchise I have noticed several of their players big hit me every other play. Especially when Clay Matthews tackles my RB or WR. It doesn't matter what I throw at him (Juke, Truck, Spin) he still destroys me. Feels really lopsided. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes - this actually bothers me more than many other issues. People rarely get blasted in the NFL.

Big hits should be awesome moments. Like Monday night when Landry blasted a WR.

I'd say almost 70% of the time in madden I get blasted.

Big hits happen a little too frequently in the game. I'll agree with you on that point. But, in general, you shouldn't be able to frequently beat a highly rated linebacker with a juke, truck, or spin. I think I've only seen Patrick Willis faked or run over once or twice in real-life.

But yes, at times, I feel like my runningback is defenseless.

They need to add more swarm tackles for big hitters, where the LB absorbs the RBs momentum with a strong wrap up tackle.

A great hit is when a defender stops forward progress. You almost never see a RB running forward and then blasted and on his back. I actually think I've never seen it, other than that old Steve Atwater hit.
