TWIM 29 Mailbag

When passing should you look at the front 7, the secondary or at your protection 1st. I have a habbit of staring down a reciever so I would like to know what is the most effective way in madden to go through your progressions..

What enhancements if any will be made to next years ebooks.. (as example i liked the content of the nyj ebook but thought the video section could have been better..) love that i can read the google doc on iphone.. dont think the video worked from what i remember

On offense on 3rd and long what play would you run vs a coverage defense?

- what is the best and most effective way to best utilize a recieving group like the eagles where you have a ton of speed but no real legit RC target?

- what is a good way to best use a team with a faster pass catching TE and a more physical blocking/catch in traffic kind of TE? for example the eagles brent celek and cornelius ingram.

Will a future TWIM feature a game of the week of "the ps3 tourny winner" vs sgibs?

What are some exercises you can do to practice proper hit stick.?

Can you explain the timing of when you hit the player. It is one yard away? Do you turbo lay off then hit?

how effective is the "Defensive Assignments" feature?

what is a good roster set up to establish a hellacious 4-4 D with the Ravens?

Any more good plays and formations you like out of the indy pb for offense? Also anything new for balanced it feels like just keep running post corners and the wrinkle every now and then?

Whats the top 5 fastest defensive teams in the game.With the combonation of LB and DB I know the Raiders are number 1 ...whats the rest?



I use the Raiders with the NYJ and man up because the LB and DB have decent prs,mcv, and great speed.
I stay in the odd split for most of the game and use williams, seymour and alston as DL.....Aso, CJ, as CB...Rrout and huff the 2 SS, Mitchell FS....morrison alston and branch for LBs

Hey I've been playing with the Arizona playbook because I love there snugs Zona Post and your wrinkle. Do you have any little dot plays from the formation from under center?

On 3 and long and the opponent is calling a nano on you, what is a good play to call? (preferably a play out of NE PB)

Whats the most efective way to RC the left side of WR Post Corners? I can only get the right side.

When running the 4-4 which stats are most important for the D line.




Speed? Height? Awareness? Block Shedding? Size?

How often do you guys get to play madden a week. It seems like you guys are pretty busy so i was just wondering if its hard to keep fresh. I mean minus the gotw w/ gibbs.

can you breakdown the 'GSO' theory from the 1-5-5 and show how it translates to a 3-4 set such as normal or predator

On offense on 3rd and long what play would you run vs a coverage defense?

I like that question from WF


G

1. What is a good strategy to attack someone who has great user defense?

2. I have seen many people do the qb sneak with VICK out of the snugs. How can i setup this play? I keep getting slowed down by the automatic drop back, any solutions?

if you could answer these rapid fire that would be great even though I know it's alot asked

how do you go about defending formations with receivers lined up in non traditional places (Examples: Twins, Snugs, Close, Trips, receivers stacked etc.) as unique formations usually cause havoc for man and with adjustments or a screen pass destroy zone?

also how do you go about defending passes over the intermediate middle- far enough to beat man, underneath deep zones, and over the top hook zones, and if you user it they have other targets crossing the middle at different depths?

finally what are ways you like to attack an opponent for big gains (particularly in the run game but also in the pass game) who likes to switch back and forth from a coverage D every series or every so often that brings 4 or less then nanos A gap, outside, some type of intense heat and then when you get confortable goes back to coverage and plays practically no man coverage?

thanks for all the help

whats a good way to lock up flat abuse without playin man?

For the 3rd and long coverage D question, check out 360maddens fl screen play. its in the forums somewhere, either in general or offensive strategy i think. I have been putting it into my gameplan and it works great, especially against coverage D. as long as the defense is bringing less than 3, and has no contains in the coverage D, it will work great. Even with slow rivers. check out the video. good stuff 360madden

The last couple GOTW's, i have seen some good defenses out of the dime and dollar formations. It looks like they arent blitzing very many, but it still looks like the corners off the edge with get in and good through blocks alot. so my question is...



What is the best way to use the corners(not the far corners, but the close ones) out of dime and dollar formations for blitzing and how would you set an effective blitz up out of these formations using these tactics.

do different blitzes work differently against strong PA's? for example when you bring outside heat do the blitzers react differently to the PA as opposed to guys that blitz up the A gaps or B gaps?

Bump-and-Run A-Gap Nanos seem to be the favorite blitzes throughout the community this year, but what are some of your favorite zone blitzes? Also, what are your favorite blitzes out of the 46 normal and 46 bear?

Post Corners all the way, or a flood type play if it's to long and I need to mix it up.
Some sort of screen if you've got a 95+ speed reciever and they're zone blitzing.

any more good plays of of the shotgun big formation in the indy pb?
