Damn, I can't score on any team when Im in there redzone. Im playing Madden on All-Pro with CPUR defense sliders at a little below default. Interception is 1 tick from off and knockdowns are way down. My offense sliders are about normal other than QB Accuracy and WR Catch which are WAY up. Im lions, 70 OVR and I cant score for [censored].

Re: I need Redzone help ASAP
Key words in your post: I'm Lions
What are you trying to do? Are you saying you aren't kicking field goals either?โIn my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we'll be voting for plants.โ - Lewis Black -
Re: I need Redzone help ASAP
IM LIONS, because I'm trying to work with some teams here than suck. It is not working. If I can't do something within the next game I'm either a) becoming the falcons or b)taking this ridicilous game back and waiting till NBA Live comes out.
And yea, the score of the game I just played 28-13.
13 Points, All off special teams.Comment

Re: I need Redzone help ASAP
Maybe if you explained what happens when you get in the redzone? And "I don't score" is not a sufficient answer.โIn my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F.

Re: I need Redzone help ASAP
I find that those Goalline formation play-action and release block passes work pretty well the closer to the endzone you are.
Be more specific with the problems you're experiencing!

Re: I need Redzone help ASAP
Yeah, blue routes work rather well. I myself haven't had much luck with the goalline-play action, but maybe I'll get better at it.โIn my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush.

Re: I need Redzone help ASAP
I just can't run. I deleted my franchise and I'm going to become the Falcons. There worse the Lions but hell, there QB and RBs are better. I like to be as realistic as possible in the game therefore I don't sign very many top noth free agents even though I need them badly.
But my problem is basically this-
I've read all the strategies on running. I even turned my AI running up and I still dont get anywhere. I wait about 10-15 seconds on the play clock and than hike the ball and hand it off to my RB. I than run forward following what blockers I have, the second I think I see a whole and press the speed burst, 3 guys are on me. Not realistic.
When I pass- I can sit back in the pocket for 10 seconds let alone 3 seconds and not complete a pass. I used to have a strategy of having the QB tuck and scramble and have the CB's come off the WR's some, then pass it hard to the open reciever. But this game makes the defensives backs supermen in all-pro mode. The second I release it someone seems to jump out of no where and knocks the ball down.
The reason I'm staying in all pro-
Rookie, too easy. I can run the score up all day long.
Pro- Not realistic
All-Madden- Wont even try
All-Pro- WAS very realistic on the settings I had before but I was beating teams pretty bad, now I've upped the score and no doings.Comment

Re: I need Redzone help ASAP
Well, lots of times it seems to me that the closer you get to the endzone the harder it is to run outside (don't know if that's what you are doing...). Off-tackle runs, counters, and HB slams/dives work best for me the closer in I get. I average about 3.5 - 5 yards per carry game-to-game, so I know the problem you're having isn't ubiquitous - and I play on All-Madden with slider adjustments and the "2nd Controller" activation.
If you need more specifcs, just ask!
Good Luck! (I know it can be frustrating!)

Re: I need Redzone help ASAP
Well, even though this may seem wierd, as much as I want to go back to my old settings I'd feel ****ty to do that. I need a challenge but my temper is short and I don't like giving up the passes I give up.
You think it would be fair to turn my AI Offense up and Defense up and leave the CPU Offense and Defense AI down. Not all the way but somewhat in the middle of 0 and default. I DO KEEP the Knockdowns way low and Interceptions basically off. Awarness is usually default for Defense though.
Im telling you that because maybe you can throw some suggestions. Im thinking its my team. But I know it's not, it's just Maddens crappy AI. I was beating up on some OVR 99 rated team in practice with the Falcons. I used the same AI settings I always do. I play them in a game, whole nother story. This needs to be fixed in 2004.Comment

Re: I need Redzone help ASAP
The Lions suck in real life. Not really but thats what their record says. What makes you think it will be different in a vidoegame. They try to rate the players in the games to have the same ablilities they do in real life. The Lions weren't that bad their record didn't really show they lost most of their games by 3 points or less. Developers rate the players on their record more than their actual playing talent. I know Dave Z commented that he thought VC had the Patriots rated too high in his oppinion but with them being the Super Bowl Champs it wouldn't have been right to rate all the other Super Bowl winners high and not them.
Your best bet is to change teams or practice up a little more in the redzone. I'm sure you can do this in practice mode.Comment
