Re: What's the difference between the free safety vs. strong safety?

your free safety plays the left side of the field if you're looking at the game from the default madden camera angle. your strong safety sits on the right.

primarily your FS guys are more coverage while the SS is more of a heavy hitter, which translates directly to your FS playing the pass more and your SS helping on the run...

as far as doing less damage for your team, not entirely sure... really depends on how good of a player you are. i usually play either DE, a LB spot or the FS spot and don't torch myself too bad... on the last gen i dominated at the FS spot. i've never really tried playing SS, but as a FS it's pretty easy because more often than not you're dropping back into pass coverage.
