when to throw the towel in on your team?....

I am a die hard vikings fan...been one for as long as i can remember...that is the only team i use in madden. I run the balanced and 4-4 thanks to the guides. before the guides got to a level 11 blowin guys out...now that i have the guides and im playing harder people...level 15+ i cant buy a win...I have 2 decent rb's and 1 tall rocket catching wr...but i feel im missing something. My defense gives up alot of points...i dont know if its me giving up too many points or not being versitile on offense...are the vikings that bad of a team where i need to start looking for a new team...what do you guys think?

the vikes are pound for pound the best offense in the game and the best front 4 in the game....

Take a few days away frm the game and just chill.... Then get in the lab for a few days not trying new stuff but sharpening the stuff u already got...

then jump into a ranked game....And work your schemes step for step and dont get away from it unless your down by 14...You will get results trust me

i am a die-hard Ravens fan! no surprise to cats that know me. i run them solely online and i have been beat by top-ballers running the more "elite" teams offensively and have i blasted top-ballers using my Ravens and their subpar offense. not in madden11 though baby! lol! whenever i get in a losing streak, i just put in FN3 (Fight Night Round 3) and knock a couple of cats out and then play madden a lil latter in the day. it works well for me.

I'm gonna have to pick that game up...when I lose to people I know I should have beatin I need to let the anger out on something..

I can't call them the best offense because of AP.. which sounds bad but fumbles hurt.. I believe they have 1 RC WR.. Rice.. and they have a couple of 95+ speed WRs which helps.. but I'd say there has to be a better O out there.. but it depends on what you are looking for lol.. I love the Titans for the Pass Balanced book.. but I wouldn't like the Vikings because I rely on ball control.. keep the ball in my hands for the game.

Yah I just played a guy level 19...I'm winning 21-10 with the ball...AP fumbles 2 possessions in a row recovered by him and ran back for 6. On the second fumble he is injured for the game....stuff like that happen that destroys my whole game...I feel the only way to avoid things like that is to switch to a team with a better rb carrying....I know stuff like that can happen but d@mn....2 in a row!

To avoid fumbles with AP keep him in the green....In yellow or red he is more prone to fumble since he is tierd.....Let Chester get some reps.... Like on passing plays and inside runs put chester in....Chester should touch the ball (catch & run) at least 10 times a game...ANd he should be in the game for about half of your snaps

I run the same system with atlanta...Norwood and Turner. When u got 2 good backs you need to get them both involved someway....anyway...

Hope that helps

WF...that's a good idea I'm gonna keep that in mind...definatly need to give Chester a few more snaps...
