ne1 else think this game is in a regression?

madden 10 was good... but compared to the previous gen games, it has nothing

just off the top of the dome you can stream lots of formations to make your opp struggle

quick ex

colts pb
sb trips colts- gun split flex- gun bunch te

in sb trips colts you have an unbalanced formation that forces your opp to adjust to the formation.....if they do they lose, if they dont they lose (and thats without adding motion)

in gun split flex you have a balanced formation where u can pass and run effectively off bat. And when you add in motions you show them diff looks that they must adjust to.

in gun bunch te....hopefully by now we all knw the deal with this formation, its just beastly lol

and honestly the colts book has other great stuff, you can spend a game in 1 formation. Use 3 to effectively rock your opp to sleep with frustration. And you can use many formations during the game and it will be hard for your opp to catch a beat on what your doing

Colts PB is shaky for running. Madden 11 is the best next gen. Madden 10 was good but I think madden is getting better.

This is my 1st full year playing Madden ( I started Madden 10 last year during the home stretch of it) and I must say that when I started out playing that game against good people I didn't fare too well and It took me a while to get the hang of it and I actually relied on making reads, while this year the game is just TOO EASY I don't even have to make reads anymore that's how bad it's getting. I honestly would much rather play Madden 10 if people still played that game. And I am really getting tired of playing against the same formations game after game I don't even feel like playing the game anymore... But it's the only option for a Professional Football Game.

And to be honest I feel like I'm not as smart football wise as I was last year but yet I'm better at the game this year.

It might just be that this is my full first year of playing or that Madden 11 is just bad. I really despise how it's getting easier for everyone though cause someone can just now come out in shotgun 2 backs with the Chargers put both running backs on fades' and outside receivers on slant outs and slot receiver on a drag and you easily move the ball on an average player. Too simple too small brained....


Let me hit you guys with the Random # Swag as Josh Wobblez would do

Its a mix to be honest. M11 is a easier game and that makes it worse imo (although i do see how some say it is better than 10) but usually this is the time of the year that madden dies off. But it also has to do with the massive conformity in the game this yr. the conformity happened at a way faster rate than what it has in yrs past

Honestly I think its the best madden yet..take out the man switches, cb's sliding, the super effective contains,physic man cov, spys dumbin out the center/guard, and whatever reason slantouts work so swell.... with all that M12 should be on point * add some new ish to playbooks and make each one unique*


I started playin online in 08... 08/09 was pretty fake..10 was ok at best, 4 man A gap nano's and stupid OL play, easy RC, flats ruined it for me.. OT wasnt hard to lockup.

I like the trend towards an actually realistic play, not making it easy for everyone to play...

Do you not see what you just posted? You called this the best madden yet, and then promptly named 6 things that are utterly and blatantly wrong with the game...

Here. I'll add to this for you. Spied DE's/OLB's being wigged out by the ever elusive Kyle Orton, DBs running in front of their man after they catch the ball as if they are leading the way for them to the endzone, all zone coverages except deep blues not reacting to the ball in the air. playaction not working 1 bit, route running being no different unless you are above a 94. a 94 runs the routes the same as a 44.


I just named about 3 or 4 more right there off the top of my head. ian cummings has utterly failed this franchise. i miss david ortiz. while his games didnt sell as many copies...they actually took grit and determination to be good at.

a thing i hate even more than slant outs is the ability of a qb to run back 10 yds and just throw bombs down field or throw across his body ..i mean come on throw is some balance physics or somethin

there is stuff blatantly wrong with every year of madden.... Like i said its getting better and better each year... M11 accel and agility sets it apart from previous generations...

RR works better this year then it has in the past.

I have seen defenders on sundays run in front of the ball carrier if they are the last resort.. If the defender turns around and the ball carrier is running full speed, what do u think is gonna happen??? They are gonna get juked out/ burnt, Its strategy- slow the ball carrier down enuff for the pursuit ( if any ) coming... I dont think defenders should be able to tackle the ball carrier with their backs turned to them.. not realistic at all.

People just wanna point at the bad things and say this is the worst Madden ever. Same as in M10,M09, M08... There is ish gonna be wrong with any game created by man period..

stop looking at the glass as half empty.. And look at the glass as half full.

its madden. not life lol

same ish different toilet..

Like I said earlier if its not fun - let the game rest and play something else. Life is too short....

this game would be fine if they take out all the fake stuff you can do. and just the flukieness of the game. going up for a swat and it goes over your head. cbs diving at a ball with one hand when its coming straight at their face. just fix that stuff. also the hole running through the a gap with the dts in spys for run d is pretty fake. not downing it its a fine run d just saying thats fake lol

every year from what i have heard everyone always did the same thing but had their own swag to it.

08- Spec Catch
09- Curls
10- Offtackle
11- Slantouts

im not sure if its just madden or what we expose our mind to what happens if in madden 10 there was a run better than offtackle? would anyone know? everyone hoped on the nations trend, i think to be successful you need some exploits in your offense or defense but you also need to think outside of the box not just something that is already exposed to the nation. It seems like people get tunnel vision when they play madden but i also see how only certain routes are so good but thats just how the game is made. I just recently used something that works really good, and thinking outside the box to make it in almost any formation. there is still things to find in this game you just got to think outside the tunnel.

On another note there is always something for everyone to find, everyones mind works different you just have to test it.

We all put time in the lab to find out what works to our advantage. Short of a obvious nano that can't be blocked or the pump glitch everything is fair game. It's a video game and there will always be exploits. Its sites like this that make these exploits public for anyone to abuse. I personally think its a good thing for the evolution of madden and the competition in general. You know the devs are looking at forums like this and taking in ideas. I'm not trying to stick up for EA here but dropping a new game every year on a strict deadline can not be an easy task. They will never make everybody happy. It will always be to hard for somebody and to easy for another.

Madden 10 - Run'N'Gun

Weak I Twin TE - Inside Zone

Best running play in Madden 10 hands down. I ran it every rip one season in the EAFL Majors; and had Ronnie Brown rush for like 2500 yards. I had times where I ran it versus 10 in the box, and there was nothing they could do to stop me. I guarantee, had I been on saloon/attended MLGs with any semblance of a shotgun offense to aud down into that run, Offtackle would have been inside zone. I'm that confident in it.

It pays to be different. Watching people run offtackle D against my inside zone was hilarious. they didn't know any better.

Also prob one of the best formations in the game as well...I d@mn near stayed in it all game it was a nano destroyer

btw M10 ATL> M10 RNG lol

Nah. RNG > ATL then and now. ATLs undercenter forms have really terrible quick auds (except the strong pro deep aud )

and RNG still has an exclusive tight flex play that might be the GOAT.

slot wheel?
