Re: When playing on defense, which position offers the most fun?

I'm always the MLB (Zach Thomas baby). This postition should be much more fun this year. Why? Because I read on some impressions (may have been IGN, not sure) that while one of your players is slowly bringing someone down, if you have a clear shot at the player, you can maximum tackle them while they're coming down!!! This game will rock

IGN's resident sports guru suggested that if you had quick enough fingers, you could wrap up the ballcarrier with a normal tackle, then switch to the nearest defender for a quick hit while they are defenseless. Lemme tell you right now -- that s*** works! You read that right, not only does it work, it's damn effective and a load of fun, just popping guys. It is not easy though, as you need to get lucky enough to have a tackle animation that holds the runner up for a moment and then the ability to get a defender over to the proper spot quickly. When it works, it's a beautiful thing. When it doesn't, it looks a little clumsy.

CB by far for me. There's nothing like shutting down a reciever and /or taking one to the house...
I also only play as one player and only control that one player.

When I'm blitzing, I run with OLB LaVar Arrington and go straight for the QB. If I'm not blitzing I play the D-Line and muscle my way to the QB.

of course it depends on the play, situation, etc. but i think fs is the most fun. it's all about risk and reward and being the last line of defense.

I mostly like to play as the FS, but I will play as one of the linebackers on occasion. Never use DLine anymore.
