How do you stop the Maryland I formation?

I'm about ready to put this game down because I play in an online dynasty with about 5 friends and 2 people use this formation religiously and rack up record games week after week vs the cpu. In user games its unbearable because it seems like all you have to do is run to the 1 shade DT and its consistant yardage. What defensive formations can I use to limit the yards gained? Is anybody else having problems with stopping this formation?


We also play on Heisman with custom sliders to make this game more difficult but it seems like there are fundamental flaws in how the AI plays so trying conventional defensive strategies seems like urinating in the wind.

Shutting down those formations are easy, just run3-4 cvr2, or 4-3 cvr and hot route the corners to buzz zone.

If I'm using Marcus Lattimore, then you can't.

I play with Arkansas, use a 4:3 cover 2 defense, push the Y button and then down on the left stick, control the free safety, and stop every team running the Maryland I. Yes even Marcus Latmore. This usually ends up in loss of yardage because the corners come in unblocked on both sides and they will eventually stop trying to run that crap. Hope this helped you.

Probably a really dumb question, but I started playing some games with UMD, and I can't find the Maryland I in their playbook. Is it not there by default?

how do you hot route guys on defense? i use ps3, is this just the equivalent of hitting y and then hitting up, down, left, or right? because i thought that was just moving your alignment or is it something else?.

The lack of a physical manual drives me nuts.
