Madden 13: What Is Your Offensive Style?

Re: Madden 13: What Is Your Offensive Style?

What do you do the other 40% of your plays???


I'm a deep ball player. I try to establish the run game and use PA to go over the top.

As in I go for 25 rushing and 35 passing plays per game.

I like to pound the ground with 2 RB'S then move into play action and 2 TE sets. my strong suit is the deep ball but like to save that for when i rlly need it

I like to pound the ground

Weird dude

[Bmore Irish]

i run fake punts and field goals until im down a significant deficit, then i just run 4 verts.

or ill keep it pretty balanced. im all about the short to intermediate passing game too. screens are always cute. rarely do i take a big shot down field.

[MEEKS973]

im a ground and pound player. my ratio of run to pass is about 53-47. once my running game gets stopped, i use the short passes to get the first down then open up the run game again

[Calvin_Johnson81]

My style is simple pound the rock up the middle to open up my passing game.

Heavy HB involvement, both run and pass. Power running, some stretch/zone runs, screens, HB pass routes.

Blame loving do-it-all HB like Craig, Faulk, and now Ray Rice.

When I do throw to WR, it tends to be going for a big play/deep pass or very short, very high percentage - basically a "long handoff" or I guess a "forward pitch". Talking about 4 or 5 yards and hopefully QB accuracy and ball carrier skills of the WR make it bigger now and then.

I am completely adaptable to the game I'm in. I can run a multiple offense and defense, use gameflow the whole game, and be fine. I find that if I don't have a specific style to lean on, I'll never get shut down!

It totally depends how my defense plays me. If they press the corners and blitz, I become a vertical passer.
Run quarters and I ground and pound. It totally depends. And it makes every game I play really interesting.

On defense I run A 4-3/3-4 cover 3 the first 10 or so plays to get a feel for what my opponent is trying to do.
Works pretty well.

I think I'm 25-9 now? I was 20-3 but I've lost 5 times to cheesers. And I'll gladly take those losses. I tried cheesing it out with one guy and the score ended up being 91-80 and it took an hour and 20 minutes.... Never again. lol. I would rather take the loss and move on with my day. Nobody cares about your record. These blogs are the only times I say it to anyone but myself really. So I dont know.

Re: Madden 13: What Is Your Offensive Style?

Now that I've played M13 and more acclaimated to the RGIII system hahaa

I'm using the Panthers PB, it has the Pistol Form, which is nice! It also has a much better variety of QB read option, triple option, and even wildcat runs and passes compared to the Skins PB.

So, I'm just now learning how to use this style of play w/ read options, wildcat PA passes, etc. Its going to be fun using this w/ the Redskins.

Note EA:

1. Why don't you update PBs based off what teams are doing IRL??? ie. Skins didn't really run any Pistol Formations last season, however they are doing much more of now. I have to resort to using another teams PB ie. Panthers to get the plays the Skins are running now IRL?

If you guys(EA) don't have the time/resources to do this, allow us "Hardcore Sim" guys to have the userability to edit our existing CCM teams Playbook. Also give us the option to control 32 teams(very important) so we can get other teams gameplans/star system setup correctly.
The NFL teams(irl) change gameplans and plays week to week, while getting prepared for the next team.

2. Remember the userability factor. Why give us all of these barriers to things that were accessible in previous Maddens.

[MEEKS973]

and it def depends on who you play with.

in my jets season i struggles a bit running with greene running the ball till he got hurt. once he got hurt i picked up jerome harrison who did a great job while greene was out for 4 weeks and evidently became the starter for me.

when greene struggled i couldnt help but pass the ball and jets really dont have many option at receivers but sanchez is getting the job done and harrison adds a nice balance to the team

Re: Madden 13: What Is Your Offensive Style?

I've tried a couple of different style, but my two favorite styles are listed below:

The first is based on a Power Run concept (Two WR sets). Big Maulers at OL and Power/Speed Back combo along with a Speed (WR#1) and a Route Runner/Possession (WR#2) receiver. My FB is a Blocker and the TEs are Receivers. This style calls for a Field General at QB as I rely heavily on Play Action passes and throwing on the run.

The second style is based on a Balanced Offense (Three WR sets) with Balanced OL and a One Cut back. My #1 is a Red Zone Threats while my #2 is either Red Zone or Possession. The slot receiver is a Route Runner, TEs are Vertical Threats, FB is Balanced, and my QB is either a Pocket Passer or Balanced.

While the first style relies on the ground game to set up the pass, the second style does the opposite. I try to create mismatches and spread out the defense to take advantage of my One Cut HB.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

I play a lot of online as the Bills and Broncos, so I use an almost college-style spread. 3-4 WR on nearly every down and if they stack the line, one of the wideouts gets open. If they spread out to cover the WRs, Spiller or McGahee can take draws. I don't bother with play-action much because I'm almost always in a passing set.

[Ian Iachimoe]

Power running game to set up vertical shots downfield.

Re: Madden 13: What Is Your Offensive Style?

Balanced approach with a dedication to trying to average 100 yards per game with my HB and 70% completion percentage with my QB. That is in the perfect world... The way Madden 13 seems to be (at least with my sliders) is pushing the user towards a bigger passing game than anything.

I am starting to want to force my team to have a terrible passing attack because it is too easy to beat the CPU deep if your WRs have a good enough RLS (Release) rating with 89+ SPD. Couple that with 75+ CTH and you will average 400 yards passing every game.
