All of these suggestions are nice and might actually work ONCE in a while but let's call this what it really is...

The truth Wankman69, is NO. There is no way to stop the bs offense that you described in the OP if you're going against anyone that knows exactly what they're doing and knows how to read D. I've played madden football for years on years, and played real-life ball even longer. In this years Madden, if you don't know how to sufficiently win in a shootout game against those type players, it's gameover. The ONLY true defense against that this year is finding a league that doesn't allow consistent abuse of the automatic routes you've described, which is actually ridiculous since no one should have to do it.

People say, " Well are you using a good DB?" It doesn't matter if you have Primetime Deion Sanders, these things still happen, and even if the prospect of getting pick scares them off their favorite target, any experienced person will adjust on the fly. And you can forget about it if they have any sort of multi-weaponed offensive attack ala NE,GB,NO,SF etc. As I covered in another thread, the good TE's are pretty much uncoverable this year period and with the new ball placement ability, LB's and SS's along with most 2nd, 3rd, 4th DB's are rendered useless.

LOL @ Most people talking about adjusting their ENTIRE defense just to have a CHANCE at stopping this madness. Until the true interaction between WR's and DB's is improved on and those "shading" techniques are correctly implemented, until the win/loss coin flip of press coverage is eliminated..this will be what we're left with.

Oh and to the guy who knocked the OP for using his safety, Madden's broken offenses of the last few years probably brought that on so I commend him for making the smart play. There was nothing the cpu would or could do about the SLANTS, Unders, Crosses or any of that BS properly the last few years. Yes you could do unbelieveable things with the safety but when compared to offensive exploits, you should be ashamed for even knocking his user choice...that is all.
