    it all sounds great, but it's not like we have a a minute or two to sit there and make all those adjustments before they snap every time. maddens play calling needs some serious improvements, there's not even a "my favorites" feature or custom plays we can make up ourselves with these adujstments or anything. god EAs monopoly on this game needs to end already i'm so trired of getting the same shit for 3-4 years and no incentive to improve the tiniest little things like that

    Jacob Sittre ya...that's literally what I said. I can clearly see there are quick adjustments to plays in this giant video about quick ajustments to plays. hence why I'm saying it'd be nice for a change in the system. at least on defense let us make adjustments while selecting a play and before the screen exits the panning shots of sidelines and the crowd instead of making us wait till right before the ball can be snapped.

    This video shows why madden needs improving and why it is a shame that 2k cannot still make football games. In just the few plays run in this video, there are multiple times that plays are made that should not be made. The corner gets burnt by Sanders (7:03) and then a burst of speed gets him back into the play for an interception. On another play (9:00) there is double coverage way down the field and the QB just throws a bomb that the receiver comes up with despite coverage all over him. These plays happen all of the time and do not reward players for actually making solid football plays. It's just a crap shoot. The game hasn't had any significant improvements in years, and it isn't because no improvements are needed. Competition fuels innovation and improvement. With a monopoly there is no reason to improve. Signed, A long-time Madden fan that would like to see some changes.

    Don Oshin No, I do not think 2k is a savior, or even better than Madden, necessarily. I'm just saying that because no other football game exists, Madden developers have gotten lazy and they have no reason to improve because they have no competition. if they were still having to fight for sales with 2k or a different football game, I think we would see more improvements and innovation. That's all I'm saying.

    Turtle he was being sarcastic, that's why he said "LOL!" I'm not saying that an out position corner can never get back in position for an interception in real life. I'm also not saying that we have never seen receivers make incredible catches with defenders all over them in real life. I'm just saying that it happens far too often in madden and it isn't just with elite players like Julio or Beckham Jr. I think you guys are misunderstanding what I meant in the original post. All I was saying is that it would be a good thing for us (Madden players and fans) for NFL 2K to still exist, because the competition of having another football game on the market would force Madden to continuously improve and develop innovative changes year after year. I'm not saying the game needs a massive overhaul, because it doesnt. But there are definitely still areas for improvement and the last couple of games have been incredibly similar.

    If you're over 21 and in a state where it's legal. .....smoke a joint and have fun with the game!!! The best tip you can have is to remember to have fun playing the game. The second best tip is to realize when your opponent is better and treat that game like a practice ( a good old fashioned schooling ) . Third tip is to try to save your plays as long as you can. ....run as few plays as possible so that your opponent can't get a feel for who you are ( wear a disguise) . 4th tip is. ......Don't expect to win, earn it. ( your opponent is another football fan and they are trying to win too !!!) 5th tip is do something unexpected at some point during the game ( I love calling a punt block zone defense on 2nd and 3rd down sometimes just to throw my opponent off lol ) .

    Slants will take these adjustments out of context by adjusting slide protection to benefit qb and hitting the route between the hashes. This will force the defense to make adjustments to open overtop mid hash and the short end crossing routes

    Normal players that play 2-5 games a week like myself would NEVER have time to do all this shit before the snap, and no good player with LET you do all this shit before the snap..Now days you have only really two options playing online... Two people trying to win, going back and forth using the same 1-3 exploits to score in absolutely unrealistic ways (ie. grouping up the AI D on kick returns by running backwards, or screens) and have a totally unrealistic, zero fun experience JUST to get the W. This has been a big issue going back to AT LEAST the "Randy Moss jet pack" days, where Moss with the Patriots had a jump that could never be stopped online, it made even the aggressive catches in M16 look contested... or You an say "screw this guy, I'm gonna play in a realistic, FUN way...because this is a game.." and end up getting smashed, never able to win. Either way, you end up having no fun. This is why I WISH they would spend more time on FRANCHISE ....I know it's better, but could be waaaay better! Remember the radio show? The news paper? They could add more stat tracking, maybe M17 has it but little things like knowing how many ProBowl/MVP votes players have and where they stand just little things make such a difference...I don't think it'll be more than 5 yrs from now where MUT is all madden really is, and there will be a feature to just sim all your games, and your W/L will be based upon card stats. It's being driven too much to just hardcore dorks that want to sit around all day. and lab, and find exploits ..

The News articles and sportscenter involvement-ish is cool in madden 17.

    Even if you man up the drag route, an experienced player like myself would dump it off to backs. Also I always spread my blocking to the outside for corner blitz every down. the backs get a free release. When you change the zone coverage into man.

    These types of defenses don't usually work out well against Hurry Up offense or those who hardly audible. Its better to learn a nano using only 4 players and using the rest for coverage. Learn their plays and play against them. Most players usually only have 4-5 plays they call.

    except you could easily beat most of what you are doing by sending your WRs on the right hand side into an out/curl combo to get a layer and have the slot receiver on the left do a quick slant to take advantage of the wide open space left in the middle of the field. Literally could beat all of what you are doing with pre-snap reads.

I'll be audibling zone coverage defenders to man cverage but my opponent will hike the ball while im audibiling and the result can often be a disasterous blunder by the defense. in general? with all the advice on audibling defenders in a video, in a real game, how can you be sure you will be fast enough with your man coverage audibles before the offense hikes the ball? and i could have asked this question of a million madden videos but i decided to ask now because ill be playing a friend in the playoffs tonight and I know his offense pretty well (were in our 6th season) so I know who to put in man coverage just wanna make sure im fast enough

    if the game was designed better you wouldnt have to make these gimmicky adjustments to defend certain routes. Dline should do what D line do. LBs should do what they do. DBs should do what they do. Every now and then in the NFL you see DEs drop out to mix up coverages, but to have to depend on it to be able to stop certain routes is not ideal.

    Tom Brady Well, I guess the first question I have to ask is do you use coach suggestions when calling plays? If you do, that's why you don't memorize formations. If not, then I'd say you probably just aren't reading the names of the formations when calling them, or you're calling plays randomly. I have certain plays that I like to use and so I memorize the names and what formations they're in. Singleback Ace and Pistol Y-Trips are my offensive formations and 4-3 Under and Nickel 2-4-5 are my defensive formations.

    This is so comical. play man from opposite sides?....lmao. You'd never see trash like that. The best Defense in this game is cover 2 sink from the Nickel 245 playbook. The play a soft squat instead of a flat zone. THe soft squatter will cover threats heading down the field until a pass is made underneath where the DB will then drop off of the deep receiver to come back down to the flat to either get a pick , break up the pass, or make a tackle. I make a few 3 tweaks. Man the outside lbs on RB in the backfield(if there) and put my DEs in a buzz or flat zone depending on which routes I'm expecting. and User the middle with either 1 of my LBs. In madden you gotta decide what routes you're willing to concede until the field is short enough for you to play underneath the WRs to get INTERCEPTIONS...

    This shit is not a realistic game, whoever heard if cross man adjustment, just glitch shit that only EA Madden titles allow u to do. Play some 2k football and try that, probably won't work. I hope yh ed Frostbite engine does a whole lot better.

    mark luers I'm all for making adjustments and all but for fuck sake, they change the game so much that it's like you're not playing a true simulated football game anymore. it's trash.

    Timmy Williams all madden had to do is keep improving the games base mechanics. the games mechanics have been crap. but they just continue to add new "cool" featues and ignore how shitty their game actually is. the game should seriously be free. or they should pay everyone to play it.

    mark luers exactly. all they had to do is improve the d-line/o-line play and fix battles with wr/cb's. In my opinion.
