Re: Madden 10 Tips - Need Help
In general, if you are playing the 3-4, which I assume you are becasue you are a Dallas fan, just go to the "Call by play type" menu instead of the "by formation" and look for cover 3 and zone blitz. I can get into detail, but again, using general adivce, 3-4 defensive teams prefer to use the cover three and cover three zone blitzes more than any other fashion. The Patriots over the last decade along with the Ravens, Steelers and Chargers are the best 3-4 teams in the NFL. All of them except the Chargers prefer to use a lot of cover three zone blitzes to apply pressure. The chargers have been a man blizt team, but that is becasue they have really good man coverage corners. Part of the problem isn't just Madden's inability to play man coverage, there just aren't very many good man coverage corners in the NFL honestly. As a result, teams tend to play a lot of zone and zone blitz, but they often do it out of the cover 1 and cover two unlike teams who use the 3-4 base scheme.
So just pick plays of that style and keep in mind the personell they other team has on the field and try to match it most of the time. 1 or 2 WRS mean use your base, 3WRs means you should try nickle and 4 or 5 WRs means you should try dime or quarters. I tend to keep my 3-4 base in agaisnt 3WR sets myself and sometimes even agaisnt 4 wide, but I have a scheme that allows me to do this. It's complicated. It works. It's also sim. It comes from watching Patriots and Steelers games I've recorded over time and watching a lot of ESPN to learn from real life. I love D.
