Quest to be number 1 online

The difference between tournament madden and online madden is HUGE

what is that difference Gibs?

Online players don't typically adapt well.

They might have a good offense but tend to have zero defense

I've been a pool tourney player for 10yrs now, this is usually the case in any kind of tournament that has an O and a D. I can't remember how many cats I would shut down with a simple safety and it would get in their psyche. The majority of those guys were all offense also, I only lose in pool tourneys to players with lockdown defense......this is where I want to get in Madden.

I personally think its the result of how most tip sites simply provide a tip with no explanation and no detailed breakdown.

The result... Virtually no original offense or defense and a bunch of dependent thinkers

Most my games are close for the first quarter...second quarter I build a lead...third quarter the game is already over...the 4th quarter I toy with them.

That's why every madden bible is. Different...we give you the best tips and plays, yes. However we also teach you concepts. Ie contain and spy combo on D to manipulate the offensive line

i agree! most cats (whether online or tournie players i would suspect) run the same old watered down offense and defenses. receiving tips is one thing but the ability to "think" for yourself (lab) on how and why a play works is key! i love receiving the tips from MB or other sites and then "tweaking" them to fit my style of play.

this is one reason why i love to run different playbooks. seems like everyone (from other sites) is starting to jump on that Balanced pb ever since i have seen Zfarls and SGibs run it here on thre TWIM and at the MLG Orlando. i have been on a few different sites as of late and noticed most people talking about that Post Corner play. smh... unbelievable! lol!

I agree 110 percent with Mili

yea i agree farls and gibs were the first i saw running this

Sgibs
Level 10 ranks n/a

Vs

GOM Madden King level 25 rank 2200-ish

This game was tweated to me via GOM's "friend". He said his buddy needed to be sent back to Earth because he finished ranked number 1 in the online Gillete sponsored tournament. Little did he know I TOO participated in this event. I finished 20-0 and finished outside the top 10 ( to qualify for the event).

Our first attempt to connect failed...resulting in a dc loss for me...sigh. We then locked up. He LOVED pounding the rock, unfortunetly all that pounding only left him stuck between that very rock and a very hard place. That hard place was my goaline defense. His steelers were able to rush 32 times for a robust 177 yards but his air attack crashed and burned as Big Ben was a lack luster 5-16 with 3ints. I'm pretty sure he ran 3 plays all game...HB power o...goalie off tackle...and some sub par shotgun play.

The game ended 48-30, good guys. I went on the mic to give some pointers...his response was the typical one you tend to get online. Unfortunately for him I know that sooner rather then later he will be a avid member of the MB community.

The march is on.

Nice....preach that maddenbible gospel gibs.....one arse kicking at a time! I got all the guides and I wanna say thanks. I'll be starting my own quest for the top soon!

Most people online think that they are still better than you after you kill them.. Its amazing their mind could be that corrupt lol

preach brotha preach

Post coming soon.

Sgibs 28 R kirker 7....halftime concede

Sgibs 100 stanDAtmanDATcan 23

Yes, I scored 100. I'm averaging 67 points a game.

Good stuff gibs, this is definitely going to be an entertaining thread. Good luck! (Not that you need it, just showing support)

lol gibs...remember we have no life....stanDAtmanDATcan

lol when u put up triple digits last night i never laughed harder how bad that kid was complaining about ur D

ha, it might be more efficient to score less and run more clock

I was up 72-16 at half...he said he wouldn't concede. He was not very nice either. So I wanted to punish lol

well you punished him bad gibs. No mercy shown lol.

it was hilarious....he was like i dont understand how ur guys get through everytime.

If he wasnt very nice i would have aimed for 72 in the second half as well, and told him to suck it haha

I am now 31-4 and a level 13.

I decided to bust out a NE scheme I have been working on for sometime now. It is primarily a quick read/deep pass offense. I used mike vick and tje eagles for this scheme. I knew going into the games that my defense would need to be on point because I was running a O that I wasent 100% confident in yet. However I was still able to post three big time scores in three blowout victories against ranked competition.

The march continues.

It was pretty impressive, I must admit. Kids D is dirt mcgurt

It was a nice change of pace on O. Invigorating if you will.

haha sgibs smokin dudes in teh rankies...

sgibs7 im bumping this so you start playing more online again
