Labbing against the Packers

Okay I am probably going to sound like a cheese ball asking this but I lab against the computer and I choose the Packers for them, All Pro (lame I know)

Is it just me, I think other people have posted this, or does the computer adjust there play to exactly what you are going to run and adjust there defense to it? I mean come on I audit out of my formation and sure enough they go to a scheme to stop whatever I am running.

So my question how do you guys lab playing the computer? What level, team? I choose to lab against the Packers because they are a beast and I figure it would make my game better but it does not seem to be working anymore, I had success seems like before the patch, or maybe it just my shotty playing, but I can run a successful scheme.

On a side note I did have success with the Texans, Foster had like 300 yards, and Andre Johnson had 250. Some Virizon score board award, fluke game by the computer lol

Somebody give me some ideas, I need to lab because I have leveled up and the comps better and I don't want to get blown up every game.

are u talking about play now mode?

if so then the cpu will always adjust some things to counter what your doing. But I suggest getting in Pmode and labbing.

Pmode with 1 controller will still boost the CPU team but they wont adjust the defense to counter what u do..

2 controllers is the most realistic because it will be = slidders

but i sometimes do 1 controller cuz i want the defense roided up

If its a new scheme I'm currently working on I do P-mode 1 controller like colonel,then as the scheme gets more detailed I use 2 controllers and set the D up (use americas popular Defenses 46 cover 3,turn the light blues into purples, use standard 4-3 and or 3-4 cover 3 and cover 4 plays, even lab against the nickel sugar blitzes, then lab against man press) I will literally lab a scheme for 2 weeks for a few hours a week then hit up some good lab friends and take the scheme out for live comp.

Start off with 1 controller,then 2, lab against coverage D,then set up the D for popular blitzes and lab your O against that....

very sound strategy but i add one more step.. I like to lab against random play for a while so I can make my reads not knowing what is coming.. I dont lab against blitz but I probably should..

Lab on ALL MADDEN lol... If u get the hang of it, everything else is cake.

Lab against man cov.. Man press, then zone cv2,3,4... Then I take whatever and play ranked gms to get more reps against blitzes and tweak it...

If I get bored then I do random plays vs random.. Ill take note of d and adjust accordingly to the d.If I see somethin I like I will look into in it.

Don't lab defense in practice mode. There are blitzes that will always get through in practice mode but just don't work the same in game.

Offense is okay...and you need to play against All-Madden difficulty. That's the best way to get better. Take your lumps and you'll learn.

Thanks for the info guys and yeah colonel I was speaking about the play now mode. Will try out some stuff
