It's Been Months Since Someone Hit Me With the Double Pass...

...and I saw it coming, but literally every defender bit on the run. No one followed anyone on routes. I'm curious if I was just super unlucky on that play, or if there's a new glitch that makes the defenders dumb out.

Idk what formation it was specifically or if there’s a new glitch out, but last year when it was a thing I think cover 2 man with a pass commit helped. If there’s a motion tell you can audible and pass commit as soon as it starts so you can still run your normal defense on other plays

As elmango30 said pass commit and run man to man.

I probably failed to pass commit. I was focusing getting pressure on the ball carrier, but since it had been months, I had forgotten that we are now with Madden with speed and throw velocity where you have virtually no chance of catching the passer before he gets the ball off.

Thanks.

Thanks. It’s too bad that my recognition didn’t translate to the CPU-controlled players’ reactions. This game delivers frustration like Amazon delivers packages.

Np you can also user rush the thrower

That's what I did, and from the snap. I was usering a 99 SPD Shazier (or maybe it was Wilson). I didn't even get close.

Steelers theme team?

Yeah, just switched over last night. Another team will probably get a solid MIKE user during Playoffs, but Shazier has delivered return on value, and should continue to do so. I tried out Jets for a short time to get the most out of Vick QB and Johnson HB, but the running game is probably dead against abilities until we get to the Vanguard nonsense that will likely be coming around March.

Nice, I’m on a much cheaper Steelers TT

Any zone defense is extremely susceptible to double pass plays, as all defenders will bite on the first pass and leave the downfield receiver WIDE open. I know this as a frequent user of the double pass. I use it at least once a game online for a near automatic touchdown. It helps as well that the formation for double pass in Buc's playbook can audible into Y Trail (another goated play) if I see my opponent is in man coverage and it is an easy first down on the cross route. Has led me to several rage quit wins and honestly haven't ever played against another double passer. Perfect play for situations like 4th and long or needing a long TD at the end of a half or game, you need to try.

My man, the first glitcher to admit to it.

Cover 1 destroys the hell outta it. I’ve had a number try it and eat sh*t. Almost as rewarding as cribbing a scum kick now that I know to move my returner up.

And I respect this, even if I would never sanction it.

The denial here about what constitutes cheating is galling, and I wonder how people get through life arguing that doing things entirely unethical and immoral is somehow permissible because no one is stopping them.
