Re: Madden 16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

I have notice during scouting that the green and red diamonds appear once you unlock all three attributes. My question is, take two UDFA one of their diamond is red and the other is green, does this mean the green UDFA is better than the red one? Just bought this game and I trying to figure out a strategy when it comes to scouting. It seems like its a guessing game when it comes to scouting.

Re: Madden 16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

I think I'm performing the option run wrong. I would do what I did last year which is hold down X (ps4) for the rb to get the hand off, and let go of the button for the qb to keep it. Nothing I do seems to work consistently. What is the propee way for the rb to get the hand off and the qb to keep it?

That's right, I haven't had this issue myself, but apparently some people have had a bug with this this year

Re: Madden 16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Hey all! I'm really having problems on d. I use the Lions. What would be a good basic play to

1. Focus on the run and force the CPU to pass?
2. Shut down a particular receiver without leaving someone completely wide open?
3. Focus on the pass and force the CPU to run?

1. I would use a Cover 1 look. Move the manned up safety (usually assigned to a TE or slot receiver depending on the formation) into the box for run support and press the corners on the outside (triangle/Y then down on the left stick). The press will leave you vulnerable to the deep ball if the other team has an elite receiver - to minimize this threat, double the elite receiver with the deep safety (X/A then up on the right stick, then press the receiver's button).

2. If you can identify the routes they are typically beating you in, user the defender guarding that and anticipate the route. If an elite receiver on the outside is beating me, I like to use a Cover 3 scheme, and take the underneath flat defender and put them in man on the outside receiver. The deep 3 zone combined with the underneath man creates a nice over/under trap.

how do i stop corner routes

cover 4, Y + LS down to press, Y + RS LEFT guard the inside, A + RS Right to Bluff Blitz, A + LS Down to Pinch

Careful, faster WR might run through your corners and if you don't have a strong middle/safety, they may get some yards off ya.

Works for me though [emoji42]

Not in front of the game right now but I believe it's left trigger to bring up the commit menu. RS up for pass, down for run middle, left for run left, right for run right.

Stupid ? on ps4 how do you spike the ball in hurry up mode? Just lost a preseason game because I don't know how to stop the clock.

For me the new Quick hot route system on D is awesome (Like what 2K had)

really adds to the strategy and chess match.

How to do you do the new quick hot routes?

Re: Madden 16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

How to do you do the new quick hot routes?

Couple pages back but:

Yes. The easiest is to use the new quick adjust system. (PS4 buttons below)

Double tab RB for LB's and Triangle for DB's (LB I "think for DL.. might be RT)

When you do that an icon will come up on the players. Select the player you want to adjust and then what you want them to do. It's really nice.

So for instance in you have Dez covered M2M and want to put a safety on him also..
Double tap triangle .. select the safeties icon.. give M2M order then who you want to M2M on.

It's like the system 2K had where you can hot route people without having to be on the player.
