Running the Read Option in Madden NFL 25 (MyMaddenPad)

[Steve_OS]

Shopmaster has written another quick hit article on running the read option in Madden NFL 25.

Quote:

What happens if you come out in a Pistol Weak Triple Option (yea, it’s in there)? So now not only do you have to read the ‘Dive Read Defender’ which has a ‘R’ over him but you’ll also have to read the ‘Pitch Key Defender’ that will have a ‘P’ over his head and this could be a OLB, a Safety or a DB depending on the defensive formation called. You still read the play the same. If you snap the ball and that ‘Dive Read Defender’ crashes in for the RB, you want to keep it and in the Triple option you’ll have another guy running with you. This is when you want to read the ‘Pitch Key Defender’. If the ‘Pitch Key Defender’ runs toward the QB, you want to pitch the ball to the RB with the ‘LB’ button for XBOX or ‘L1′ button for Playstation. If you read ‘Dive Read Defender’ or the ‘Pitch Key Defender’ wrong, it will probably result in a negative play and could get your QB creamed and more importantly hurt.

On the one hand, it does sound a bit dumbed down/casual with the R/P icons, on the other hand, reads often didn't seem to work at all in previous versions so if this makes the Option workable, I'm all for it. Can't wait to turn the Jets into a Triple Option steamroller offense

I'm hoping we can turn this "aid" off

[DirtyJerz32]

ND I do believe you can as it was already talked about in NCAA 14. There's an option to disable all aids.

I had the Redskins in one of my 32 player online franchises last year, and let me tell you I gave so many people headaches with RGIII and company. One year RGIII had 4200 pass yards, 39 TD's, 13 INT's, and a 120 QBR, ALONG with 1200 rush yards, 15 TD's, 9 YPC......and 13 fumbles...Fumbles weren't much of a problem when I got his carry up to 90 though. But that was after I got him to 99 DAC, 99 MAC, and 97 SAC. I also got his speed up to 95.

Absolute beast, probably the most fun I have had with any team in Madden. However, Roy Helu was my starter, and he even had 1000 yards one year too. Morris got in the game some too, but mainly on short yardage, and in the 4th QTR when I was trying to kill clock, because Helu tends to fumble. Too make my O even more deadly I traded for FB Dorin Dickerson and his 90 speed, most people tend to not pay much attention to FB's, and he was a beast out of the backfield.

Can it be run against a 3-4 without derailing the blocking scheme?

Im all for *teaching tools: they allow for more implementation of sound football fundamentals.

EA, keep teaching casusls how to fish instead of sinking our ships with your mother load helpings.

*I expect to see a use option.
