Anyone figure out to play man-coverage vs. opponent putting Mike Wallace in at TE?

Here's an idea. Don't play so much man coverage. Love playing against you guys.

So because he plays man gives someone the right to put a WR at tight end? Interesting. Basically, we're just adding onto the cheese chess match that must take place to enjoy the game IMO.

i'm with jerz. playing like that takes all the fun out of it. if i could line my dn at lb it would be fair....i guess

2-4-5, sub backup CB at SS2 (lines up at OLB), choose SS1 with outside position on the hashes and select man coverage pre-snap on that WR at TE. Run man cover 2 which turns into cover 1 once changing SS1 to man. Manual as the FS and cover the seams.

What Jerz said.

If you want to throw a receiver in as your tight end, that's fine. It's cheesy, but whatever. But at least have the decency to make it a guy who might actually go there (i.e. a big bodied Ramses Barden type). Lining DeSean Jackson up there for 100% of your snaps is just flat out exploiting the deficiencies of the game. Because in real life, if 6', 199 pound Mike Wallace lines up in the slot, he's going to get blown up by bigger, stronger players and won't be able to exploit his speed.

Anyway, say what you want, but I'll run man all day against people who do cheese stuff like this and eventually, it'll work. I'll run a formation with an extra defensive back and manually set that guy to man up on your "tight end." Or, hell, I'll just call a play with two linebackers and have them double that guy. You'll burn me a bunch of times, but I'll get you once or twice and in Madden's woeful online environment, that's all it takes to decide a game.

Have ready as aud:

2-4-5 or 1-5-5 and Cover 2 man

Sub in highest STR CB(to slow the release) or the fastest CB depending on what your secondary has to work with to Nickel back. Shade inside coverage. Manually double with FS/SS. Youll be covering the outside routes and deep ball.

Do what I do when I'm faced against cheesers and quit. I couldn't care less about my online record. I've quit up 14-7 in the first quarter before because I knew the game was going to be almost unbearable. If my opponent is a cheeser and I know I won't have fun, why should I waste my time playing him? I'll give him his win, and I'll save myself some time and go have fun playing someone else. Win-win situation.
