Isn't adding plays a annual thing, why is each play getting a post now?

Its in many books, not that formation but it is the excact things as the Y-Trail. Same concept, the same thing madden does every year. Do the same things and call it new to try and hype it up, it is a old play in a different formation.

You do know that how its done in the NFL right?

Y, A, and B should be wide open every time. On 3rd and 5 this play would be money in the bank. Especially the TE, Jermichael Finley would beast in this play.

Here's hoping the DL pass rush is improved in Madden 12..

Just like the Packers IRL.

The problem is in Madden 11, this would be open no matter what team you were using, no matter what team you would be playing against...regardless if you knew it was coming or not.

"Colts- Gun Bunch- Colts DBL Trail - The Colts don’t use the Bunch formation very often, but when they do, this is one of the plays they like to run out of it, especially in the red zone."

I agree with you before the last patch in December. After that patch, I felt the crossing pattern was more difficult to complete with coverage.

[JSTEWY]

I would go with a cover 1 robber with a backer in the middle or dropping the safety down. You won't get the interception every time, but you could cause some hesitation and you'll have an extra defender around to help with the tackle in the event of a catch.

And likewise, I think WR's get into their routes rather slowly in Madden. They also do not know how to navigate traffic. But I suppose they need to go slow because the 4 man line basic rush is still pretty mediocre as of Madden 11.

If that's Garcon or Calvin Johnson as the X receiver with no safety help over the top= Touchdown every time. Lets not even discuss the delayed route by the HB(Best)

that sounds nice and all but keep in mind you dont know when the offense is going to call the play.

This coverage isn't in the game, but is used as a bunch "check" by a lot of programs. Corner to the bunch plays the curl area, against this concept, that would leave him responsible for the dig. The sam/nickel/point defender is responsible for force/first flat, meaning he will end up bracketing the trail route from outside in. The mike is the hole/#3 defender, he will collision the under route, pass it off and then sit on the trail. The Will will look for the 1st crosser since the back steps strong. Everyone is covered up. I know of a couple teams that run this coverage against all formations, not just a bunch check, but there's a lot of pattern reading involved.

This play looks awesome.

Re: 25 New Plays Coming to Madden NFL 12 - Play #2: Colts DBL Trail

all i got out of this is that this isnt a "NEW PLAY" they are just taking a play from madden and recycling it and calling it new. Typical EA

EA does have a tendency of doing that, but haters have tendency of whining about things that dont warrant whining. This is one of those cases.

Bronco Trail anyone? It's practically the same play with a different name, this play will be money.

Not if you have all the tools at your disposal. If you can play with a cushion it shouldn't automatically be a TD, especially if you have good CB's. Plus with cover 1 you will always have at least one Safety helping deep. Cheat him to the best WR side. You are not going to be able to perfectly cover everything. Just gotta roll the dice.
