TWIM 26 Mail Bag

1. How can i utilize the play-maker control in the game?(I know the controls/but what is a good strategy when using playmaker)
2. What is the best line-up for me to use when playing with the eagles and using the 46-playbook?
3. Can you explain to us how we can improve our stick skills and also master user coverage and strafing for easy picks?

1. Hold L2 and move the right stick.
3. Practice mode.. - Kick Off .. practice hit sticks on the kickoff team..

What give you more of an advantage?Reading the defense or being able to read the offense?

Is it more important to have offensive stick skills,Or to have those monster D hit stick skills?

Is there a way to still use the HB slant out of the backfield even after the patch?

Motion the RB, but before he moves, snap it. He will go full speed. Just go to practice mode and you'll see what I mean. You'll have to time it correctly.

Wang, lets not answer all the good mailbag questions right away! They can ask regular questions in the forums, but the mailbag we need ammo for the show!

Alright. I just do it so people don't have to wait a week. I'll let them wait =P or PM them. heh

Can you guys do a myth busters segment on defensive player awareness? I have 3 fast LB's in each of my league and all three are dumb as a box of rocks. I'd like to know which attribute is more important awareness or play recognition.

thanks

Are there any receiver patterns and/or combinations that are especially effective off of play action?

1.In terms of timing, Rocket-catching streaks and fade routes are a bit different than post-corner routes, can you explain how long should we wait to press (b) + right stick down..after we pass the ball (precision towards the sideline)?

2. As for turbo blitzing, why is it not effective in the middle (or between lineman)?

3. Can you break-down the full-house formation and how to make it more effective?

4. How do do you stop the a and b gap nano.? run with carolina...beason is super fast

I read in the forum and have read in guides that man blitz aka Cover 0 and Cover 1 is effective against playaction but to me the LBs seemingly always get faked out (and sometimes me too lol) especially in man coverage not sure I've seen LBs faked out by playaction when in zone often so what makes man good against playaction or am I missing something here like Prc being more important than playcalling in playaction's case?

also I'd like to know if you could help me as far as run blocking with the OL since you already did mythbusters proving slide protection isn't that great with the run game for the most part so are there any other ways to get the most out of my OL in the run game and what are they besides slide protection?

What is the best 3rd and short or 4th and short defense to run, when I try and run the goalline defense I've noticed I get beat with a hb/fb dive up the gut or a slant route to the weakside. Same goes with if I come out in monster green from the 4-4 and blitz the middle and contain the outside I notice I get beat with a te route. It really takes me out of my game when a team goes for it on 4th and they think why not go for it on 4th again the rest of the game.

great stuff fellas! keep em coming!

in 3/4 WR setsdo you guys like to use the uncovered theory ( Run and Shoot concept) to make easy pass completions?

And if so would u use streaks, or flat routes (like in curl flats) by the slot WRs.

why don't you guys ever use the New York Giants?

1-how do you utilize players that are tall and have good jump besides rocket catching in case they dont have a great Catch In Traffic rating?
2-what line up would you use with the cowboys in the 4-4? do you sometimes use safeties as linebackers in the 4-4?
3-whats more important, Player Awareness or Player Speed at the LB position?

I was watching an MLG video and i saw Prodigy running the ball and when he got into field goal range he dove onto the ground.. I thought it would have been wiser to just cover up and take the hit, since sometimes they will fumble when they dive (like defensive players or quarterbacks).. What would be smarter to do, cover up or dive to the ground?

What's the best way to utilize HB Misdirection runs?

what formation do you like better the 1-5-5 or the 4-4


i like the 1-5-5 better becuase the setup is easier and alot faster

1.What are some good pass plays to run out of goaline to go with the off tackle run so defenses cant overconcentrate to stop it?

2. If a players is running the ball effective to both sides and doesnt have a strong side, say in a single back 2 TE formation where TE's are lined up on different sides and so are the 2 recievers, how do you go about setting up your run D with the contain spy concept?

Depth Chart: Green Bay Packers D. I remember you had them in the EAFL, and seeing your setup with them would be great. Who you use @ DE and DT. Keep Al Harris @ Corner. Do more press cov? ( Because of Al Harris and Charles Woodsons amazing press).

For a pass catching TE, which would you rather have?

-A slower guy with good RTE stats (eg. Bo Scaife)

-A faster guy but not as good AWR and RTE (eg. Jared Cook Jr)

yo gibs great idea.ik ur in eafl renegades.you should have vince come on the show with his tuff d
