    What position do you user control on defense?

    What position does everyone like to control on defense? Why? And does anyone control different people bases on if they are playing a user or the cpu?

    I usually control a DE or DT to try and create somewhat of a pass rush on my own. Sometimes I will control a blitzing LB or when I pick a cover one play and a LB has that short middle zone I will use him.

    Yeah I'm pretty much the same way you are. Always use an end never DT's and try to force a nice rush. Occasionally I use a blitzing line backer but usually I'm coming around the corner going for the QB's neck with JPP

      I always used to play as the FS. I was a ballhawk with Brian Dawkins back in the day...

      In the couple years I've been using MLB 95% of the time. It makes a huge difference in filling gaps to stop the run. In my Madden 12 leagues I always ranked in the top 5 in rushing defense.

      If you are good with it you can also take away the entire middle of the field on passing plays. I've gotten a lot better with it, but still need to improve some more in M13. I want that top 10 passing defense to get into the top 5 with my rushing d

        DT or DE for me always...except for a hail mary to win the game situation. I'm a pass rush guy for the most part.
        I'm still playing NCAA 14 and Madden 25...and you know, it's alright.

              Typically the MLB. I like patrolling the middle of the field. In certain scenarios like 3rd and longs, I'll take control of one of my safeties and roam center field.

                I used to control the D-line with Freeney and Mathis all day, but with the switch to 3-4 Defense, I'll be learning to control the LB more.

                  This is almost exactly what I do. Always a DE or DT. And occasionally a LB when I pick a LB blitz play. I still do this, except I've started to expand a little...

                  Basically I would always control just DE's and DT's because I felt it was idiot proof. I just had to break through and sac that QB and didnt have to think much.

                  Sure; I put a lot of thought into my play picks, I called audibles and stuff too. But once I started actually controlling a play I just controlled a lineman and didnt think much.

                  However recently I've started to controll FS's and SS's as well a CB's. I started practicing controlling just these players to get used to swatting and covering. And its actually pretty fun.

                  I kind of wish I expanded which defensive positions I controlled earlier. If you're like I used to be and only control defensive linemen. Try playing Secondaries. It's fun.

                    Playing Sim = MLB or FS

                    Otherwise = Left DE (30+ Sacks per year)

                      I typically play as the RE. It is a sure way to get 10+ sacks in a season without playing every single game. I do simulate a lot of games which I am hoping to change this year.

                      If I am playing a defensive player career either MLB, OLB, or CB.

                          Either of the safeties, I usually just get a fast player throw him at SS if he has good tackling and poor awareness. Put a safety like Ed reed or Weddle over the top and troll the underneath lanes.

                              I run a blitz heavy scheme and I absolutely hate it when the CPU just backs off and lets the running back job through the hole for extra yardage.

                              Sometimes I control the DB to bump a guy then come with the DB Blitz.
