What position do you like to control on defense?

[osubuckeyes275]

I usually go with the LE or sometimes a DT, but I found in the demo it is actually a little bit too easy to get to the QB and want to switch it up to either MLB or a S. What position do you like to use?

One of the D-lineman or a blitzer. I'm always afraid to get my other player out of position in coverage.

I like to control the LE, for some reason I can always get pressure with the LE, while whenever I control my RE he gets stonewalled.

Right DT when in a 4 man d-line, the only DT when in a 3-man d-line.

I used to use a DE or DT, but starting in NCAA 11 I used the MLB and will probably continue to do that for NCAA 12.

I almost always player lock when on defense. I rotate during the game depending on the situation. Probably say 90-95% of the time I'm locked.

Tend to lock-on with impact players and try and stay away from corners. But occasionally it's a must.

I really wish Madden had this. It's what makes that game unplayable for me.

I play by a rule of only switching players once. I tried the never switching, but my CBs and Safety's were taking terrible angles and even if they had 90 speed the couldn't catch a 70 speed QB.

MLB or OLB: Only OLB if he is blitzing.

FS or SS: If it is a definite passing down, or if one is blitzing.

Well I usually just take control of a DL, but playing the 12 demo I've found it's a lot more fun to play a DB.

Blitzer or Best Dlineman

MLB allows you to be in on a ton of plays. When the CPU doesn't run they often throw over the middle or to the RB you're assigned to coming out of the backfield.

I like player locking with a MLB in a 4-3. Good mix of plays in front of you and plays where you need to chase someone down.

main reason why I switched to MLB. I often had my MLB in the top 5 in the nation in solo tackles each season as I ended up involved in so many plays.

Re: What position do you like to control on defense?

Let's see ... something like:

65% RDE
20% RDT
10% LDT
4% LDE
1% Blitzer

Re: What position do you like to control on defense?

I used to LOVE playing safety back on next gen...but after a hiatus from like 08-10 because of the terrible next-gen versions (and transitioning to "grown up"), I get WORKED when I control a safety now.

I typically go with the weak-side DE, or a DT if I have a stud there. I wish we had the option to have strong and weak side positions, etc. Having Will/Sam, field/boundry corner, FS/SS actually line up where they are supposed to, rush/anchor ends...some day, I guess.

Always MLB. You get to do everything, get involved in a lot of plays, and it makes me feel like I really have a leader on my defense.
