Madden 09: 4-3 Under-Edge Sting

01:16 PM - June 3, 2009 by RaychelSnr

The key to this blitz is that the blitzing ROLB (on the left) is actually running a delayed blitz. This is very rare in the game. In fact this play and only one other have this delayed blitz pursuit. What makes this so special is by the ROLB delaying his blitz for a second, more often than not the LT will leave the RDE to pick him up. What we are basically doing is forcing the LT to make a haste decision as to which one of the pass rushers he picks up.

That's ugly. Why would an OT release an immediate threat to pick up a blitz?

Wow. I just got done praising the heck out of Madden's E3 videos, but this sequence shows that OL AI needs to be fixed. That LT should take the immediate threat, not leave the closest defender to the QB for one several yards away. If the RB is not set to chip there or given blitz protection responsibility, then this is a flaw in blocking AI, not football "strategy."

Oy! This is why I'm leery of playing Madden with Madden players. "If you do X, the CPU will screw itself up and you'll get a cheap play." That's what counts for "football strategy."

Well, this is from 09, so hopefully they fixed it for this year.

Thanks for the clarification... Hope it gets fixed.. But considering all the plays there will always be a few exploits here and there I suppose...

I always wanted to be a game tester for Madden.. I wonder how you get that job.. lol

i thought this site was for sim ballers not using poor programing to set up mismatches.

Ya'll much remember this is a early build of the game from a month a go. I am sure Ian and his team have been aware of this and most likly will tweak it right before it goes into production next month.

No. As I posted earlier, and as it says right in the thread title, this is from Madden 09.

The offensive line AI did nothing wrong against this play. In football, the offensive line is taught to account for blitzers up the middle before blitzers off the outside. So if the LT has a choice to pick up a LB running straight up the middle of the line, or a DE on the outside, he is going to pick up the LB everytime. This blitz is an elementary overload. Three blitzers to two blockers. What the offense needs to do to counter this, is either block a TE or a RB on the left side.

Like the other guy said it is from 09. You go into every thread throwing around bad information because you want to pretend you know everything. On top of that I can't understand half the things you do say!!!
