TWIM 40 Mailbag

post your questions here!

your opponent is lockin up your main schemed plays. are you more willing to go to something completely random, or keep trying to force ur scheme?

when is it a good time to try to force the pass into coverage and when it is a good time to run with the qb

4th and long probably should force it

What kind of adjustments do you make to stop the various run plays: dive, power o, toss, counter?

I'd really like to see this broken down guys and I know you're already familiar with the Dallas playbook Gibs

"I'm struggling a bit with 3rd and long situations vs zone this year with RC very watered down. What are some of the best plays/strategies to use vs zone in these situations and feel free to use the Dallas playbook for your examples"

Some immediate help SGMI,

Come out Gun Snugs Flipped - Bench Switch
1. Streak the slots
2. Smart route the corners

Against zone, SOMETHING will be wide open deep....

Thanks I'm in practice mode now with that.. still touching on this next TWIM?

How would you set up cowboys depth chart now with the losses of Jason "wheels" williams,
the loses to good players ratings,

and the pick up of B. McCann.

The cowboys have me spinning right now,

i can't decide if they stack up against the raiders.

What are you thoughts on how the cowboys stack up with the other madden teams,

Top five?
(I don't use my LOLB and ROLB so i typically put them at LE RE, i use 46 speed package. I can't figure out if i should put D ware at RE and put Sean lee at MLB
and im stumped with their DB situation)

I have a couple episode topic ideas: (You can tell I like showing up with trick plays)

1. Who are the best returners in the game you never heard about?

2. What ratings matter the most for special team players? kickoff/punts/field goals

3. Best TE's you can use as WR's.

4. Best punter/kickers that can run and/or throw the ball.

5. When its best to use O-line shifts when running the pill. (Don't know if you guys did this one before already)

6. Great plays to use playmaker feature.




& Hey I want to play one of you Forum players so I can be in that poll. I think my game is good enough... Who want it? SGibs? Zfarls? GT: Wisepegasus

defensively i have really been struggling against snugs and bunch...I know you have gone over defense against bunch formations but i was wondering if you could go over a defense against someone who stays in snugs the entire game

I always have about 3 schemes I can interchange with just in case a play knows how to lock down one. (Ground game, Aerial Attack, and Play action/Trick plays)

The lowest risk is usually the ground game plays, which I count my pass plays with my running back running into the flats as primary targets, delayed routes, and screen plays in this category. Whole goal is to force the defense to overplay in the box or a side of the field to leave 1 on 1 coverage else where, and gain yards after a handoff, or YAC. Usually indicated by D-line, Linebacker shifts, User controlled D linemen. That leads to....

The Aerial attack. Wheel routes, fades, streaks, comebacks, post, drags, slants, Double move, in & out routes. Really depend on what routes you are comfortable with, but having all at you disposal is a gift. Knowing which WR's run certain routes better also helps. There are times, when an opponent knows your playbook/plays well and you may have a tough time executing. You can try speeding up the tempo with hurry ups or slowing the pace down. If that is still a struggle, that's when you use....

Play action & Trick Plays. #1 thing here is KNOW YOUR PERSONNEL. #2 You have to PRACTICE these plays prior to the game situation to increase chances of success. Got a HB, Kicker, or Punter that has 78 Throw power? Why not practice some fake punt/field goal passing or HB pass plays? Have a WR with 96+ speed? Try some WR screens, WR hand offs, or maybe even a hook and lateral. If you got some speed in these skilled positions try some direct snaps to em or hand offs and see what you get. Flea flicker/ Play action plays only really work if you see a offensive formation has the defense over pursuing the possibility of a run.

All else fails try faking hot routes & audibles just to get the D to react. Hope this helps

I believe Sean Lee has 81 speed, 77 ACCEL.

There is your answer.

What are some good unbumpable plays out of far tight twins?

On defense when the ball is snapped are you strafing, running normal or sprinting and when do you switch?
