<p>1. As boring as it sounds, learn to read defenses pre snap.  Lots of tells in Madden and plenty of info. online, youtube etc....</p> <p>2. Learn the weaknesses. ie cover 3 look to seams or underneath, cover 2 look to the corner/sidelines or posts down the…</p>

<p>Depends how you user.  I've played guys who are good at zone lurking w/ Hendricks and he frustrates the hell out of me. Will pick off a post routes and seam routes 3 yds off the line of scrimmage. I tried him, but didn't work with my play style.  I …</p>

<p>This is gonna sound strange, but I have him with his X factor, Inside stuff, and.... Lurker for only 3ap.  I have him at lolb and sometimes drop him into zones.  Stuffs the run, gets a few sacks a game, but the funny thing about lurker is he has lit…</p>

<p>Did not like Calvin at all at CB, but he's a great safety and gets FS and SS chems (ignore the rating downgrade). Woodson is a beast at CB.</p>

You bring up a very interesting point that I never really considered and most are probably in my same boat.  To me it totally depends on if you max out the Comp pass and the method you use to do so.  I focus on solo battles during the week.  Pretty easy, I load into the game, let the cpu play defense while I do other stuff around the house and then chew clock on offense.  ONly time I pay attention in Solo Battles is for specific objectives.   For Champions league I treat it like Weekend League and only play on Saturday and Sunday.  My goal is ten wins each time and I dont care how many I lose.  I get matched up with a cheeser who is running a god squad, Im out.  Those Champions wins allow me to max out the CP which is worth 100k, two packs and a 91 plus legend.  To me that is worth it.  H2h is fine its just hard to sit down and play a bunch of 45 minute games during the week.  A solo battle game takes me 15 to 30 minutes and that is with doing other stuff (laundry, making dinner, taking the dog out, paying attention to familiy) so it does not seem like a huge time sink.  Now if we start comparing Champions to Weekend League the rewards were ten times better in WL.  It made me want to win as many games as possible or atleast hit the 16 win threashold.  This made me usually play the max amount of games 25 or atleat 23 or 24 games to get those 16 wins.  Now I get the ten wins in sometimes 12 or 13 games and I dont play anymore because there is no incentive.

<p>Yea, not a bad strategy, but I get bored playing Solo Battles. As cheesy as H2H can get, I enjoy the comp and typically someone is quitting before it becomes a grind of a game. I agree weekend league from last year made things much more interesting.…</p>

You get no rewards for being ranked in Champions this year. Champions is only there to help progress the Comp Pass. Since it gives the highest CP payout people play it every week.

<p>Wow, so even worse than I thought. Just strange that with the heightened competition and the fact that you have to "earn" a champions pass to play, you'd think they'd up the incentives.  Just kind of boring.</p>

<p>So, fortunately, have been able to sit in legends division for H2H seasons for a few weeks.  5K per win/ 1k per loss, 25K for making playoffs, 6K for playoff wins, and 35K and a TD pack (which has some nice pulls) for making the SB.  I have yet to a…</p>

With rodgers i just run SFL and HRM. He has 94 TUP with ideal for sense pressure. No problems so far

<p>Kind of what I thought.  Like having more routes and not sure how many times fearless really activates for me.</p>

SFL, HRM, and Fearless. Which 2 you taking?

<p>Too much AP for all three in my opinion. Been using McNair with SFL and Fearless, but considering Rodgers and going SFL, but indecisive on Fearless or HRM.</p>

<p>I get it.  I've just got mixed feeling on it. I like the challenge of really having to prioritize where you put your AP and the fact that my opponent does too.  I liked how last year's game was a little more measured with discounted AP cards.  The f…</p>

<p>Don't get me wrong, I like throwing down with abilities, but what's this gonna look like a month from now? With a ton of 0/discounted abilities out there, people are gonna have like 22 per side. Kind of nullifies the challenge of implementing AP str…</p>

<p>Beat a Herman Moore agg spammer last night, but he kept it close by just chucking it. I had Pat Pete at CB right there with him, but still got dunked on for three TD's.  I came from old gen to new gen, so didn't realize how OP it was.  Tips?</p>
