Madden NFL 10: AskMadden Tip of the Week

[Smoke316]

I like this tip...thanks

I have used this strategy with such backs and find it most successful. Good explanation and use of CJ.

that last rush was sweet. I play as the Browns no wonder I am averaging 2.6 yards a carry.

As a Nashville native and lifelong Titans fan, it pains me to see how Chris Johnson is basically the "Bo Jackson" of this year's Madden.

For many years, I have always used Tennessee in whatever football game I'm playing, but I don't use them anymore due to how cheap CJ is in Madden 10.

I understand he's a beast in real life, but in Madden, he doesn't just get 150 yards a game, he gets 250 or more (usually, on half as many carries), and the game just isn't fun when you play with him due to how easy it is to get into the open field and score.

Thanks Madden for making me ashamed to play as my home team.

And here's why......



By repeatedly pausing and playing this video in slow motion you can clearly see that CB Jacques Reeves reads the run and is unblocked as Johnson takes control of the ball. However, instead of attempting to break up the play in the backfield (7 second mark), Reeves turns his back to the ballcarrier and begins to take the perfect angle to make the tackle 33 yards downfield.

This is just another case of the game showing it's age and being exposed for having--what is in my opinion--unacceptable AI.

Completely agree with you. It's unacceptable.

I had a combo set for my Franchise team: Adrian Petersen and Reggie Bush (did a fantasy draft with the 49ers, was 19th overall) with the 9er's version of the wildcat I was able to total 245 and 3 TDs with AP alone and 125 with 1 TD with Bush... without knowing I use the same run play with both players and seems to have the same effect. Difficulty is on all-madden btw too easy to play on anything less.
