Lockdown Corners

[Hoodrych24]

Maybe its just me but has anyone else noticed how much of an impact the elite corners make on madden this year? I'm a raiders fan myself so i've started a franchise with them and out of the 2 games ive played it feels like teams are really scared to throw to Nnamdi's side.

Playing on all-pro first game was against the chargers and i defensively assigned Nnamdi to stick vincent jackson and he only had 1 catch for 5 yards. Second game against the chiefs they picked up P. Burress from FA put Nnamdi on him and he ended the game with 0 catches.

It felt like every game they intentionally tried to pick on Chris Johnson and my slot corners and throw to TE's. Like i said maybe its just me but it feels great having a corner that can shut down one side of the field and have the computer scared to throw his way like Qb's do in real life.

Let me know if anyone else is noticing this too.

Re: Lockdown Corners

Wait defensive assignments ARE in the game? awesome

and yeah, guess this year is pretty sim. nobody throwing on Nnamdi

Re: Lockdown Corners

Its amazing. I guess im just kinda in awe its the first time in a madden game ive seen the computer deliberately trying to avoid throwing on someone. On the other maddens id use like the Broncos with Champ and they would throw it right at him. Kinda cool to see.

Re: Lockdown Corners

Thats cool, I've never seen that in a Madden before.

This thread makes me miss Asante Samuel. Philadelphia Eagles now have the starting cornerbacks from the Pats in the Super Bowl against the Giants: Samuel and Hobbs. I just thought I'd point that out, because it seems pretty odd.

Re: Lockdown Corners

That's why the first thing I'm gonna do when I start my Seahawks franchise is do anything in my power to trade for Asomugha

Re: Lockdown Corners

Good...i think DRC is an 87 in the game and when he progresses into the mid 90s i`ll be awesome.

Hopefully Bryan McFadden stands strong as a CB2

I bet he would be able to lock down Boldin, but not Fitz.

Re: Lockdown Corners

^^^

maybe your right on Boldin but even with Nnamdi he wouldnt beable tos top the Cards passing attack esp. w/ breaston in the slot and Beanie/THT banging it up the gut

Re: Lockdown Corners

LOL, Asomugha can't shut down Fitz???? LOL

Asomugha shut down both Andre Johnson and Steve Smith (Carolina)

Andre Johnson>Fitz>Steve Smith

Plus I've heard DRC has been shutting down Fitz in training camp so Asomugha would make Fitz look like a bum.

Re: Lockdown Corners

Nnamdi can shut down anybody besides randy moss. He always seems to give him trouble.

Re: Lockdown Corners

Hopefully this is the same for Champ Bailey

Re: Lockdown Corners

I posted a similar experience in the impresions thread. Its really cool to see that the cpur recognizes who to avoid.

Madden 10 cpu QB's fear Nnamdi!!

I remember that Texans/Raiders game. If I remember correctly, Andre only had one catch until Nnamdi was pulled in the fourth. Texans fans on the message board I go to were irate that they weren't challenging Asomugha and I was like, "Are you guys insane?" I think Angry Dre's the best receiver in the league, but Nnamdi's out of this world. No one challenges him for a reason.

OMG
what did you say??
you cannot be serious....
Boldin is just as good as fitz if not better. the only reason why everyone was on fitz was because of his play in the playoffs esp when boldin was hurt. now im not saying fitz play in the playoffs was fluke, hes always been a beast, but most ppl dont realize boldin is just as much of a beast. in 12 games last year he had 89 catches...89....he would have caught 120 + if he hadnt gotten hurt. guess who holds the record for most rec in rookie year: BOLDIN

guess who holds the record for most catches in their first 3, 4, and 5 seasons in the NFL: BOLDIN guess whos #2 FITZ

fastest to 300 catches: BOLDIN

and you know what the cold part about it is??

in 6 seasons hes only played 16 games dos times!!!!!

his only knack is injury......

your talking about one of the best wrs in the NFL and borrowed a healthy career, one of the best EVER

now Nnamdi is tough too as well as fitz

just dont isolate boldin from fitz like boldin is not that good

hes 100 tufffffffffffffff
