Madden 16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Penalties are tuned differently in different game modes.

Online H2H, MUT, and Draft Champions are tuned to have barely any 'random' penalties (penalties not caused by a user)

Play Now and CFM are tuned to have penalties (and both modes are tuned the same, so you can test penalty sliders in either mode and should have the same results).

This was confirmed by Clint Oldenburg (Madden Gameplay Dev) via Twitter.

You want your DBs to play underneath the WR if your getting spammed with curls, it's in the pre snap audibles, press Y or Triangle then flick the right stick down. You can also predict a passing play.

Best way to stop quick toss?

String running back outside and use sideline as another defender.

I'll upload a video

A guy I played online ran it nearly every play and there was nothing I could do. Even if I defend it well he would get 3 years a pop including fourth down

If I came out in something crazy like goal line he just audibles. Seems like in user games there's a certain formation that has a quick toss that's really hard to stop

I have not come across that yet, I suppose I would run a cover two and show blitz. Whenever I run it I get stuffed.

If he's being THAT predictable run commit left/right might help. He's likely to run the toss to the side where he has more field to work with, so if you guess right at least you'll put that idea in his head. He can't anticipate the commit (nothing tips it off) so he isn't likely to audible out of it. Obviously if you guess wrong it's probably a TD, but random online (which I'm assuming this is) is full of risk/reward scenarios like that.

I would like your thoughts on play calling:

Hypothetically speaking; lets say a 10 play, 80 yard drive:

*On this drive would an offensive coordinator stick with one formation for a few plays and then adjust personal for another formation?

*Is it actually realistic to go from I-Form Twin to an All Empty on the next play, and then to Pistol Ace on the next play?

Thanks
