alrighty then

Good talk.....

Don't play NCAA, but my record on Madden is 112-39, and I feel ya' on glitchers..... I have literally used every team, but I use the Ravens & Bears more than anyone.

1-1. Both we're glitchers and I didn't see the point of playing if I was going to have to deal with that everytime.

Then I got Madden and it is just a much better game. Haven't played online though for the same reason as above.

Mine is like 4-25. I can't play defense worth crap. What defense do you run? It seems like no matter what, the other guy can always throw deep, then when I figure out how to stop that, he throws short, then when I stop that he runs, and switches between the three. I can't stop it at all.

I'm playing right now and I just can't stop the short pass.

Use quarters defense to stop the short and deep pass. If he runs its most likely to the side with the most open field. Therefore you should make your D-line crash towards the open field. Making the D-line rush out usually messes up blocks too, crashing in on short and inches with blitzing LB's will be loss of yardage every time. Quarters is an effective defense to stop all three phases, but not if the opponent were to get in goal line offense and pound it.

Don't worry, a consistant defense on NCAA is about impossible. I'll also leave you with one key word...always send one LB or CB blitzing. Have to put the pressure on them because just like in real life...you give the QB too much time and he'll burn ya. Bad thing is that every opponent will burn you in they have an IQ of 20 to see the open man. Force them to make quick decisions, always.

Well I guess that rules me out.

I'd high five you if I wasn't on my mobile. Effin' Comcast.

Any of you guys hear about a Comcast office burning down...it wasn't me.

Defense is my strong point I run a quarters, defensive end contain and qb spy with my middle linebacker sometimes bringing pressure with the slot corners depending on the situation. I'm only giving up 9 points per game.

Defense has always been my strong point. I can shut anyone who doesn't rocket catch down (although that is becoming easier to stop). All you need to remember is to adjust to what your opponents is doing. Here are some of my tips

1) Disguise the blitz. If you blitz, it's vital that you get to the QB. If he knows it's coming, usually he can audible into something that will tear your D apart. Those defensive audibles are there for a reason, use them. And use them at the perfect time; right before the ball is snapped.
2) Use the Multiple D playbook. That will give you both the 3-4 and the 4-3 to work with. Use the 4-3 if he's running the ball inside, and the 3-4 if he's pitching tosses left and right.
3) Play with your safety to make you sure absolutely shut down the run. To win, you must force your opponent into obvious passing situations.
4) Like I said, adjust to what he's doing. If he's hitting short slants, screens, and RBs in the flats consistently, use the cover 2, but you must get pressure on him with your front four.
5) If he's running around like a b!tch instead of standing in the pocket, audible your two DE's to hit the outside as opposed to rushing up the middle, and have one of your DT's spy on the QB to make sure he doesn't take off and run.
6) If he's consistently throwing long bombs, get in your dime package and use the cover 4. Again, make sure your DE's hit the outside to pressure the crap out of him. Throw in a Strike 2 Deep blitz every once in a while to put major pressure on him. Then use your MLB to hit the zone. This will result in a sack or interception almost every time since he's not taking the blitzers into consideration.
7) If your opponent is being a douche, and constantly rocket catching with his best WR, then you're going to run into problems. Use your safety and simply try to pick it off yourself, since that's the only way you're going to stop it.
8) Utilize the press coverage and soft coverage to your advantage. Sometimes on third and long I like to use the cover two, and back the secondary off. This will make him think he can hit someone underneath. The only time to press your DBs is on short yardage situations. Other than that, don't press them because the WR will always get behind the DB, regardless of the zone you're using.

Anyway, I could go on forever and get into defensive hot routes & other tricky schemes, but you should get the hang of it over time. I don't even call plays at the main screen. I wait to see what package he's using, then go quickly to whichever defensive package is necessary (it messes with his head)... Then I merely audible to the play I want while on the field. The key to being successful on defense is simply tricking your opponent...

2 RB 1 TE 2 WR = 4-3 or 3-4
3WR = Nickel
4+WR = Dime, with four DL
etc.

Anyway, that's my theory and I'm stickin' to it

I never stick to one primary defense. I mostly play Madden, I don't have the time or money to buy a college game.

On offense I like to run the ball a lot and throw short passes.

Defense: I prefer to run the 3-4.
At least 1 Defensive End rushing the outside at all times.
At least 1 QB Spy every play.
I play man to man against 2 WR's.
I usually control the DE or LB.
I try to audible twice before the ball is snapped. Or 8 times when I play against Peyton Manning, you know what I'm talking about.

Offense: Play against the defenses weakness.
If they run a 3-4, run the ball to the inside with 4 WR's to take away from the 7 men in the box.
I throw in a lot of Runs and Play Actions early to drive down the field.
I throw short passes often, no matter what down.
I really love to throw to a reciever on a slant route on a 2nd and 3 or shorter. It kills them every time.

I use the New England Patriots and the Minnesota Vikings.
