Great job, and thx for this! Dumb question--how do you tell how many pass rush points you have? You used to be able to check your opponents OVR and stuff but they took it out this year.

Looks like a running back or fullback on the left.

But you can't really have more than 2 on the field at the same time unless, like you said, you put it on your edge rushers, right?

So realistically the most you could use is 2 of them ....I dunno...I didn't notice a huge difference on 3rd and 4th and I still had my pass rushers not always have full points on 3rd or 4th

Yeah you may very well be right.  I hadn’t thought of that

Really appreciate all the info in this post. 

Does the extra pass rush point help AI controlled defenders or is this only beneficial to user controlled linemen?

I run 3 D Rally's sometimes but the problem is they have to be on the field for the ability to work. So the most you could have is 2 if you want your edge rushers to benefit. I run Simmons and Seymour both w 0 AP D rally and honestly I do not see my edge rushers affected by D rally often. I run nickel over mostly so in theory I should have 2 extra pass rush points on Bruce Smith, D Ware, Simmons, and Seymour on 3rd and 4th down. I have not seen that so far so I will try to continue checking

Great write up! I'll be interested to read the results when you test ETE/ET and compare it to pressure rates/pass rush win % from DON.

This is the kind of thing that madden needs more of, I sincerely appreciate this post. There is so many posts that contain bad information / opinions throughout the different websites / forums.

Some “theorycrafting” here... In theory if I had 4 Defensive Rallies, that would guarantee DON lighting up on 3rd and 4th down as every point would be guaranteed to be restored? If you could guarantee massive pressure from 2/3 dons on 3rd and 4th down that may change the ball game here…

I often see a yellow bonus bar added to the full green so I’m pretty sure it does add one when the rusher already has full points

Martyr1968 said:

What if your pass rush point are already maxed? I have not seen it add an extra one, so sometimes I feel like D rally is kinda useless (especially if you are maxed already) and sometimes it is helpful

Seems like as many free D Rally as you can get is going to be meta ASAP. Esp with everyone running DON

kaotikords said:

Wow big points. Thanks for testing

Great write up!

What about formations like Nickel 3-3 odd where you can shift your line backers. Do they get the pass rush point based on where they where when play was first called or after they shift?
