Re: Madden NFL 17 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

For maximum power you want to stop the bar at the top of the meter.

Wait, are you sure? Because I heard the exact opposite. What are the two arrows for then?

I played another game in Lucas Oil Stadium (a dome), and my kicking was fine. I was originally playing at Everbank Field, WITH 8 mph wind at my back, and was barely getting it past the 10. I didn't change anything about how I was kicking. Kinda weird.

I believe everything else is high. X (XB1)/Square (PS4) is also the "Hit stick".

A (XB1)/X (PS4) is the conservative tackles and LT+A/L2+X is the Breakdown tackle (which counters most of the offensive moves but requires you to be in good defensive position as you will be strafing).

Teach me how to have the game feel like the outcome is based more off of my decisions than the cpu cheating

I have lost 4 games by fumble in the last 2 min and lost 2 by blocked field goal. I've only played 20 games

my o-line and running back seems to be fatigued the whole second half

Random things happen once in a while

It feels like playing a racing game and being first only to have your tire blowout 100 ft from the finish

On field goals you should aim for in between the two arrows because exceeding that gives an accuracy penalty I think, but on kickoffs you just wanna kick it as far as possible.

EDIT: Actually your issue is proabably just due to the wind arrow being reversed. When it says you are kicking with the wind you are probably kicking into it, and that is why you kick them short while the other kicker booms them into the endzone. Its also why you saw no problems in the dome

On XB1 the hit stick button, X, is a dive tackle when queued up from a distance, so it's basically a low tackle. Low percentage, too.

PLEASE. Teach me how to get INT's.

I can get user sacks and set up my D to get sacks on its own, but INT's are like unicorns...

Zone defense, hard flats are still giving up wide open passes to the flat. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Madden NFL 17 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Anyone know what's the difference between HB Draw and HB Mid Draw? I treat them as the same but wanted to know if there's a difference and specific scenarios where you would want to run one instead of the other?

What's the secret to getting pressure with LB's? I play a 4-3 scheme, but even when I send 6 or 7 guys they never seem to get anywhere close to the QB. Meanwhile, seems like the CPU is consistently able to apply pressure even when they only send 1 extra guy. I can generate decent pressure with my line, but it just seems like blitzes are not working at all.

I'm able to generate pressure out of my 4-3 under scheme, but all AI QBs are like Peyton Manning when it comes to getting the ball out quickly, so what I offer will not lead to sacks as much.

1. Your go to blitzes should change week to week. I target the weakest member of the offensive line.

2. Overload blitzes tend to be far more effective in getting pressure.

3. Some of the SS blitzes work real well because a linebacker blitzes the same gap first, and that creates a open lane for the safety. Look for SS str snake 3 and there is another one that is a scrape blitz but I cannot remember the name.

4. If you user the linebacker, do not immediately try to speed burst into your gap. Delay just a bit to allow the linemen to engage, then sneak past.

5. Predict pass. Not only does it ensure that no one bites on PA, but at times it seems as if my DEs get upfield sooner.

6. On 4-3 blitzes like will fire 3, make some adjustments. Shift line towards your blitzer, slant everyone opposite direction, hot route RE to blitz straight.

7. The best blitzes will be from your nickel packages. Over Storm, overload, mid blitz out of double A gap, will be your best.

Nickel blitzes like Over Storm and Mid Blitz used to be my go-to plays when I wanted to sell out for pressure with zero coverage behind it, but even those seem ineffective this year. I try moving guys around to overload one part of the line but it seems like they just get all bunched up every time and no one breaks through. What makes it more frustrating is that the CPU gets pressure seemingly at will when they send extra guys, even it it's just one.

When you say you move guys around what do you mean? Do you actually manually move them presnap yourself?
