This puts the MLB as the DE(but the MLB is actually a super fast DB). Then they spend the entire game manually rushing off the edge with the DB and dropping 8-9 guys into coverage. Just the newest tactic in the long line of gutless cheap things like this. There has to be a way to make this impossible and I hope Madden 10 does it...PLEASE!!

LoL, I'm getting a big kick out of these cheater "chessy" threads. My brothers and I play Maden and NCAA leagues seemingly every time we get the new games. We hold ourselves and our buddies accountable to acceptable league play.

The fact that Madden allows such a thing is ridiculous. I understand the simple thing of pushing a button to substitute a MLB for a DB. The fact that someone even does this to get the advantage of rushing the edge is hilarious.

Madden shouldn't allow MLB's and DB's to be substituted for one another. Two totally different positions.

You want more DB's on the field, call a nickel or dime package. Don't do it to cheat someone.

Instead of applying more ratings to the line blocking just don't allow these substitutions. Like I said before, you want more db's on the field call a nickel or dime. I do like the pancake ideas though. A DB would get pummeled 100% of the time.

While I'm at it. Make a game where the DE's actually push a true looking pocket off the edges. Make the game more realistic. More double teams if the defense is bring a weak rush. If delaying a blitz make it where a lineman disengages from his double team block to try and pick up a delaying blitz. Not saying he has to get there in time but make it more surreal.
