Re: Lets Discuss Preplay Adjustment Strategies
On offense, on 3rd and long, I like to keep the running back in to block. So, that’s often an instant hot route I perform on most 3rd and long shotgun plays. People may complain about rb pass blocking, but it’s done just fine by me for the past few years. U have to step in and around the pocket sometimes to help your rb pick up the block. But, if u do, it can buy u 2-3 extra seconds to complete a longer route.
That being said, I also change that up during a game and run a screen sometimes, or pick a play that specifically has rb flat route. But, for the most part, I really like the rb blocking, even the D doesn’t end up blitzing.
On D, as someone else mentioned, I tend to shade inside almost all the time on man D. This, however, often does NOT help me out. Lol. As the cpu tends to still complete slants and inside routes.
On 3rd and 10+ on D, I almost always blitz 2 players to apply max pressure. When doing this, I also normally shade over the top to prevent the big play. This will often result in a sack or incomplete.
A particular running play I’ve always like is I Twins toss sweep. It tosses to the TE side, not the twins. But, if I see them in zone, I motion the inside wr to the other side so he can block the cb. Otherwise, the D would have a small advantage.
I don’t tend to use motion to determine man or zone as I hate the fact that u can’t motion and then motion back quickly like they do irl. I wish madden would allow this or add this. I could see myself using it a bit more to confirm man or zone on certain plays.
I also like to run ‘similar’ plays. Often, the 3 plays on any given playcall screen are related. Such as 3 plays that offer the same man in motion, but 2 are pass, and 1 is a run. I like to run these throughout the game to ‘keep the cpu on its toes.’ Lol. I don’t know whether or not it works, but there’s one particular play that I love to run once every game, normally in the 2nd half when trying to finish off an opponent. The wr goes in motion, but the release is quick on his side of the formation. The ball is snapped, he makes a cut block, and the overall run is a toss sweep to that wr side. When this is pulled off correctly, it really looks beautiful. It’s normally a choice u have to make as the rb to utilize your blocks either inside the cb being blocked to the outside, or sweeping all the way outside if the cb is blocked to the inside. I love doing it in the red zone as well. Although, it can be used anywhere and can gain 80+ yards in certain situations.
