Defensive tip: Use "Show Blitz" audible versus CPU

I don't know what it is, but it seems like I am getting more pressure/sacks on the computer when using the "show blitz" feature with my defensive audibles. I never really fooled with it against the CPU as I figured that the trick wouldn't work. But it seems like the CPU QB becomes a little flustered when you mix in the fake blitzing with your actual blitzing.

Anyone else try this? I am getting noticeably better pressure.

(xbox 360....At pre-snap press Y + left on the left stick)

Also mixing in a heavy dose of bump coverage helps to give your lineman an extra 1-2 seconds to get there.

Don't really like it. Makes it too hard for the AI to run.

I'm not really seeing this on All-Madden. If anything, they're breaking more long gains once they get past the first line of defense when they run.

Eh, for me, I pretty much have to refuse to blitz in order to give the AI a chance at getting back to the line. Maybe my defense is just better, I don't know.

Don't like it for the following reasons:

1) You cannot press cover out of your blitzes with it.
2) It messes up some of the blitz angles - which is why of course I do a lot of manual blitzing.

Isn't show blitz the only way to disguise your coverage?
