why do i **** at Madden 07 SOOO bad?

[azimuth 5,000+ posts]

learn to run the ball. don't blitz every play. let the computer play the secondary until you learn it. be the middle linebacker and follow the plays diagram. crossing routes, crossing routes, crossing routes.

Do you have Madden for your self?? Go in and do the practice things you do to get Madden Points, I think they have that on 07. Just keep practicing, a few hints... use your tightend ALOT and use your tailback out of the back field. I give the ball to my tight end at least 10-15 times a game. Learn hot routes, when you have a 3 reciever set and they only have two corners, adjust the reciever with no man on him to do an out route and get it to him quick, or adjust to a deep route and get it to him quick but watch for a linebacker to drop back. Also when you play a person watch what they do, I have two friends that love to blitz corners on me all the time so I will run slants on them. If he likes to blitz his linebackers, go to your tight end until he backs off the blitz and destroy him with a run up the gut //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Also use hightlight stick and hitstick for almost every play.

Also if you man on man with your star player and the saftey has already pulled to the other side, give the ball to your star, especially a big reciever and go up and catch it.

Generally passing I use the middle of the field. A lot of slants and post routes. When I try to do out routes I end up throwing picks or leading my receiver out of bounds. For runs I do a lot of off-tackle and try to bounce it to the outside.
I can beat most people with the Lions using Harrington and their retarded west coast offense.

out routes work well against zone. sucks against man to man.

On defense I play RE and rush the passer. In running downs I play the DT because I'm better at getting through the line then the computer.

x2 I am always right end, I will murder your offense line //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I usually get 3-4 sacks a game with twice as many TFLs.

I like to do play actions. If I have a big time receiver (Moss, Chad Johnson, Burress are the ones that I've used successfully), I can usually do a nice play action post and get them for 40+yds. Usually I have the TE do a short outside slant to take the safety, and the RB do an out to the same side to take the OLB, which leaves the WR one on one on the outside. Works well for me.

Also, as for running the ball, I usually can't run outside too much unless it's a speedy RB. I had Jacobs last, did a lot of inside runs and just plowed over LB's. Also, counters seemed to work really well.

If you play someone that loves to blitz PAs are your worst enemy.

i like to play middle backer to stop the run consistently and make sure that **** TE doesn't screw me. i'll really play whatever linebacker is manned up on the tight end. middle backer always in zone.

With the Giants I had Kiwanuka with 42 sacks, Strahan with 22, and Umenyura with 17. Kiwanuka also had 70+ TFL.

What I do is blitz Kiwanuka. It's a 3-4, so I have Umenyura and Strahan taking the tackles, and the two DL's pick up the guards, and the center usually doubles on one of the DL. That leaves Kiwanuka generally uncovered, worked out well for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Try different teams, I play much better with mobile QBs (Garcia, Vick, McNabb, Young, ect.)

Yeah I know. Played with my friend who was blitz happy, gave him a lot of shotgun looks, did a bunch of draws, and also a lot of screens. He'd bring the corners every once in a while, a couple times I caught him on WR screens and got some huge gains.
