Overhauling Defense: Pre-Snap Looks
There has been a lot of talk about defense, and it definitely needs to be upgraded for Madden 12. I'll let the smart football people talk about gap control and run fits and the important mechanics of defensive football.
I want the option to determine my pre-snap look. This would bring a ton of variety to the defensive side of ball in both user games and games against the CPU (instead of seeing the safeties standing right next to the CBs showing the Double CB Blitz).
So, I'd like to see one extra option after picking plays: choose the "look." If I choose 4-3 Cover 2, I then get to decide if I'm going to disguise it, or show a generic look. My options can include:
--2 High Safeties
--1 High Safety (20 yds. deep)
--8 in the box
--Show "A" Gap Blitz
--Show "B" Gap Blitz
--Show "C" Gap Blitz
--Show Safety Blitz
--Show Man
--Show Overload Blitz (Jets, Ravens)
There are a number of options that could be included.
This would make for great variety when playing CPU teams as long as team tendencies are done properly.
--Teams like the Eagles, Rams, Giants, Bears, Bengals and more like to show "A" Gap blitz a lot. Sometimes the LBs blitz, sometimes one drops back, sometimes it's Cover 2.
--Teams like the Colts don't do a whole lot of disguising.
--The Saints use one really deep FS for the most part with their SS lurking in and around the box
--Then you have the Jets or Steelers who like to crowd the line and show pressure almost every play, even if they don't send extra people.
All about creativity and make defense less stale, whether you are playing defense or on offense trying to figure out what the defense is doing.
