Think about all the stuff you would need to learn. Man I play football (5 diff positions on D) and it is crazy how much I would have to learn just about defense...Going back to the tampa 2, I didnt know near as much as I thought I knew Whats your guys take on this????

lol u must be an offensive player huh??


i think we could have like a hardcore mode and the regular mode you know, that would be fun and challenging

I think I had an argument on this site or another one about this same thing.....They were just saying the str of the field should always be the TE and I was debating with them saying that it can be many things like , the open side of the field, the TE, the passing strenght, and others

And after about 10 dumb a$$ ideas for this, someone came up with just make it which ever way you press on the D pad where you want the strength

like i u want the str to be to the right, hit right on the D pad an soo on.....That could at least take care of the LBs....and im ok with that

Hell they prob could put this in for 11

IDK how they could put this in for safeties

lol it would be easy for lb's and safties, hold l2 and move the dpad whichever way, and hold r2 for safeties, yes strength of field is different on a lot of plays, especially zone blitzes

some blitzes are called to the bench side of the field and some are called to the "field"

lol, to be a great player u've got to know the ins and outs of every position on the field

I'm afraid some of this would be considered 'too real' along with probably being incredibly difficult to program. Also completely new offensive and defensive playbooks would have to be created (God forbid).

I think the game is headed in the right direction and will hopefully get some of the 'read-react' elements implemented into the game down the road, but it will always be a lot simpler on the game than in real life. It's too bad though, because I love this stuff. It's what makes football the greatest sport (in my opinion).

I would be happy just to have defenders in zone to play smarter and have a couple options (like the covering the flat or going with the receiver deep if no one is in the flat that we talked about so much) and I'm sure having the defense line up according to the weak/strong side wouldn't be too hard.

One thing I'd like to know is if coverage swapping is in the game. In earlier Maddens you could take your MLB who was in a hook zone and slide him past an OLB who was in a flat zone and they'd swap so you don't have guys running all over the field crossing into each other's zones.

I think it may be called man lock but that may be a different feature.

Cover 2 is a big concern for me as well. Not because of the covereage, but from the pressure from the fron 4 lineman. That's what Cover 2 is all about. Look at the Colts for example. If Freeney or Mathis don't get pressure, that defense is toast! It should replicate that in Madden, which is why the DL pressure needs to be, and is said to be fixed. If it is, then Cover 2 imo is fixed.
