Ball hawk and heat seeker

[SpartanBaller]

Does anyone ever use the defense assist button? If so when does it help to use it the most?

I use the 5-2 defense blitz play all the time. I control the LE DE and attack. My RE DE and blitzing LB gets a lot of sacks. U get beat once In awhile deep but most of time play good defense. If they they start to run well or use screens make blitzing LB and have him double the running back with the other LB.

Ball Hawk, Heat Seeker, and Switch Assist all turn themselves off on the All Madden difficulty.

Am I the only one who misses Madden when you use to have to time your jump for the user ints instead of just holding down triangle while running down the field hoping you pressed it in enough time for your defender to make a jump for the ball? I've been beaten by both user and cpu deep balls so many times because I didn't hold triangle when the ball was at it's peak so my defender just runs after the receiver and watches him catch the ball.

I have almost 85's across the board on defense, with good Coverage LBs and I'm 31st in the league on defense, last against the pass.

Lol, I think you are the only person I have heard on here trying to get MORE interceptions. I am trying to do all I can (slider wise) to stop the CPU from throwing a truckload of picks every game.

NFL average is .9 ints per team per game......I do not user any DBs and I lead the league in INTs with custom sliders and the lackluster Vikings defensive secondary.

It's always something with this game.....

All-Madden that'll fix your problem I have to fight for any ints. Especially if you use default All-Madden.

Hmmm...I am playing at a "custom" all madden level, but I have not tried default.

I will give that a shot. Thanks for the info.

It should fix the int problem. It also should make it much more difficult to stop the run.

I play with Charters official OS sliders in one franchise and easily get at least 1 Int a game if not 3 or 4 a game. On default All-madden though I can go 3 or more games without an int if not more at times. I usually use the Falcons.
