Re: Tips for Defense!!
Nice post. My style is like yours, good defense and good running game (which is why I am frustrated by the "run blocking" in this game).
Zone coverage is good, though you have to get pressure. Also, the AI will abuse the flats at will so be careful about zones that don't have a light blue area (flats zone). I like to involve my LBs in zone coverage. I'm a fan of the 3-4 and when I play the Ravens, I have the 4-6 as well and both of those are LB reliant. So I like to have fast LBs that can get to their assigned areas well as well as come on the blitz quickly and track down RB/FB in the flat. I'm a blitzer, though I try to blitz out of several of my formations and bring no more than 2 or 3 defenders from different angles. I'm partial to overload blitzes (since that's what the Ravens try to do in real life) and even suction blocking can't account for more rushers than there are blockers. As far as coverage behind the blitz, often zone, but sometimes man. I don't know if it can confuse the AI's reads, but sometimes it seems like it. The QB will make a quick throw, thinking it's man and the LB picks it off. Likewise with varying who comes on the blitz. Say 3 plays in a row I come with middle pressure, then on the 4th blitz I come with outside weakside pressure. What formations do you like to blitz from the most? I like the dollar (lots of speed on the field) the 3-3-5 Nickle (easy to change the angle of the LBs when bringing all 3 on the blitz and it has a nice zone overload blitz) and of course the 3-4 almost requires blitzing except to change it up once in a while. |

Re: Tips for Defense!!
I haven't used 3-4 stack much. I'll have to experiment with that formation. Predator is awesome. I think I run that formation the most out of the 3-4. |

Re: Tips for Defense!!
lol... ok well I'll let u know the Stack plays 3-4 Stack, you have the Hog buck 3, Thunder smoke, Strong snake 3, SS Strong snake 3 stay, OLB Fire man, CB Dogs man and the classic Engage 8. Predator, Weak blitz 3 is nice, MLB Cross Fire and MLB Cross Fire 3 is crazy, I think thats what they're called. |

Re: Tips for Defense!!
Do you Manually MOVE the LB accross or can you do a quick audible to spread them or move them to say the Strong side of the offence. Is it (ps3 here) R1 then Up (left stick)to Spread them all R1 then (right/left) on left stick to move them to 1 side. Will this mean ALL the linebackers move to this side if you choose this audible?
The outside blitz more than the outside one can be a reall good shout, although if i DONT bring heat down the middle does this mean my decent-ish Rush defence may suffer as there's less men covering the gaps upfront?
I generally just use right stick left/right with my ROLB although i initially found going OUTSIDE used to work more in terms of getting past the Tackle but now that's ended with me flat on my face. I think i need to flick the right stick Just before we engage and perhaps if i TURBO from the snap i may beat the Tackle anyway with my ROLB's speed.

Re: Tips for Defense!!
ok the reason i dont blitz or use 3-4 d is coz of the inconsistency with the rush/blitz, I was a 3-4 d player before m10, but switched to 4-3 because of the lack of pressure you get form LB's, I get more pressure with 4-3 and with my DE's. ok a few plays for you!! Renegade - 3 DB's back in zone coverage and an 8 man rush, spreed the LB's!!! recommend 1st D Crash Blitz - 3 deep DB's LOLB,ROLB, LE and DT drop back in zone coverage, RCB, and both MLB's blitz!! Recommend for 2rd,3rd and long MLB storm blitz - FS in zone coverage, SS, CB's, LOLB, ROLB all man coverage, highlight main threat, both MLB's Blitz with D line creating a 5 man rush!! recommend for 3rd down Storm Brave - FS in zone coverage SS, CB's, ROLB all man coverage, LOLB, RMLB both blitz with DT's, 5 man rush. recommend for 3rd down!! LB Storm 3 - LCB, SS, FS, drop back deep for zone coverage, LOLB, RCB zone coverage covering right and left, ROLB, both MLB's blitz creating a 6 man rush!! be aware you will be open in the middle!!recommend for 1st down or 3rd and long!!! CB Dogs Blitz - CB's blitz with D line creating 5 man blitz, everyone else drops back in coverage, you can use this anytime, known to create good pressure, QB needs to react quickly, normally throws center or the flats!!! I'm not home at my business, so i don't have my playbook with me, but those are some plays i off the top of my head!!! I will give you some more when I get home which will be later today... 3-4 books to look at, Jets, Steelers, Ravens, multi D, 3-4 D |
