<p>I hear you man. But I've been playing Madden for over 20 years and have never resorted to cheese plays. Yes, they work but can also be countered without using cheese yourself. That's all I'm saying. I get that Madden doesn't play like proper footbal…</p>lachry said:That is great in theory, but Madden hasn't been a proper football simulation in years. Football logic doesn't equate Madden logic. Not even remotely.
We've had 5+ years of sitting in Dollar, rushing 3 being able to stop 3 TE sets.
I'd love a more realistic football experience, but I am not sure that will ever be the case moving forward.

<p>Like I said, play down and distance. Match up your formation with theirs. Be a decent User. If the other guy wants to play meta bullshit all game then its actually pretty easy to counter? Players rarely get to do the same thing more than twice when …</p>EazyBreezy said:im just trying to find a defense that will get me SOME stops

<p>Dont take this the wrong way but football is a situational game. There shouldn't be a "best defense"?</p>
<p>Play down and distance. Match up with your opponent personnel-wise. Be a half-decent User. Surely that's the "best defense"?</p>

<p>I'll take the Peters card for the TT, no problem but the guy is currently a FA, had a horrible season and gets a better card than both our starters. The fact that the best Nate Hobbs is a 90 is wild.</p>

<p>There's been over 40 different editions of Madden going back 30 years. Its been on next gen since Madden 21. And the best you can say is "its playable"......</p>droblunts313 said:This has been the best madden in the last 5 years. Idk it might just be all the players that get 7 0ap ability buckets, i cant complain about this year. I’ve played every mut since it was released in 2010 and I promise you we are very lucky with how far along this game has come. Definitely not a perfect game but it’s playable

<p>Man, most Promos this year were lame. So many required money spent to get anywhere and loads had no real theme and seemed rushed. </p>

<p>Seriously man, who cares what the other player wants or thinks? I've every right to stay in a game for as long as I want. And down 10 in Q1? So what. If I get the ball first in Q3 I'm hanging around until at least that possession.</p>
