Very good questions LB, but probably far too involved and detailed for a live chat format.

I wonder if Play Recognition will keep a defender from taking that initial step vs. the counter the devs talked about, or if they recover faster

I had 5 questions that were that did not get answered an I thought they were important. I'm not sure the mod knew what I was talking about, maybe that's why he didn't post them for consideration, I don't know. One of them went like this.

In previous versions of Madden/NCAA I could line up in I Tight, I normal and my opponent could like up in Nickel 33 or Dollar and stuff the run in the backfield. In real like I would attack this with an isolation and pretty much abuse it at will. Additionally, players have ran all coverage defense with only one man rushing or no man rushing, on the tourney scene called F@G defense, and they have been able to bust up the run game. What has been done in the run blocking to deal with these tactics?


My other question involved the FB.

In previous madden games the FB did not do a great job of picking up 2nd level blocks. Neither did he attempt to attach/double with a lineman to kick out edge defenders. What has been done to get the FB to be aggressive and pick up 2nd level blocks? What if anything has been done to get the FB to attach to a block by a lineman and have both of them drive a defender out or off the edge?


These were very important questions that highlight huge problems and they did not receive any consideration whatsoever.

Maybe if you didn't you a derogatory word they'd pick up your question. You also could've simplified the first question a lot for the purpose of answering in a quick Q & A session.

Actually I didn't use any derogatory words. Instead of F@G Defense I said All coverage. I used it here because people here probably know what it is. In there I didn't use it.

I got one question in about the WR blocking, but I wish that I would have asked about FB blocking instead now that I think about it as that is more important. I did ask the question that I knew wouldn't get answered, With all the videos of kickers at lineman in Madden 10, if I stick a kicker at guard, will he be able to block just as well as my starting guard in Madden 11. LOL...

Zone defenses should be what you play to stop the run. Zone defenses have a better chance of stopping the run because underneath defenders are looking in the backfield instead of at their man. This logic that man defenses are better against the run is ludacris. I agree, that in the game, man defenses seem to do better, but that's not the way it actually works on the field.

Which further proves my point to these guys that are shouting zone defense is the reason the defense is not reacting to the run.
