The 3-4 is going to be sleeping with the fishes pretty soon for me unless i can figure out how to get sacks

I've yet to get a user controlled sack, but when I play safety or CB, my Dolphins' front seven can get ample pressure. My NT that I drafted is extremely athletic, but through 4 games, Porter has two sacks, my rookie OLB has 3, my athletic NT has 4, my backup NT that plays in Nickel situations has 1, and Kendall Langford has 2. A good chunk of these sacks come from a simple 2-4-5 Nickel 4 man rush. My sliders are set to 100 pass rush, 0 CPU pass blocking though.

Since I've been the Giants most of the day (Tuck is a monster), I figured I'd give the Jets a shot since they run a 3-4 and this thread questions the sack using that formation. Sean Ellis had three sacks (all user controlled).

DON'T hold down speed burst and switch up between up, left and right on the stick. Plus, line up a bit differently every time and play around with lining up inside and then pushing the stick right at the snap. I had 6 tackles on Mcfadden and three sacks on Russell....

I'm not some amazing Madden player either....everybody can do this!

EDIT: I play on All Pro and have won every game but one (Brady Quinn throwing into triple coverage doesn't equal a win!).

My first game had the initial roster set with Raji in the middle for the Packers. I recorded no sacks.

The second game I played against Tampa Bay. I had the new roster set and Raji was playing LE where he will be lining up on Sunday's. Using the speed burst and the right stick, Raji recorded 6 sacks. I was amazed. The poor RT on TB must be rated low.

The first one was a coverage sack and all the rest were within 4 seconds or less.
