I'll play in the league in 17. I was so sad when 16 kept dropping me from literally every mut match :( . My team was actually good. Dubious even gave me a Calvin!! Just praying this game doesn't have the same issue for me. Every other online multiplayer runs smoothly but madden just poo poo the bed on me so I ended up getting a refund from PSN for $60 even though I bought the game 8 months prior. I intend to be the cause of many goon meltdowns in this game.

Lol @ not running two FS instead of FS/SS in madden

put tyrann mathieu at SS or Atwater or literally (any FS that can hit hard as gently caress when you user them)

I end up subbing in a tall cover CB (6'3" Sherm ayyy) at that position 75% of the time anyway

I hate playing guys OOP, it triggers my OCD. Also I love to min/max styles. The Chemistry system has me loving EXCITED.

get over it and win more games. if some guy is just trying to 4 verts i can throw sherm in and put him on the TE inside and the let the lb play under for the int. poo poo worked way too much. never underestimate the power of the double man cover w/ the FS/CB shading over to help your CB1 or CB2. Style points aren't gonna make up the difference you get for swapping in the player for the right plays. If you're playing someone smart you can fake them out this way as well. Madden meta game is why I keep buying this loving game. If you guys knew how filthy my i-form plays with a speedback subbed in at fullback, two huge wideouts, and a fast slot receiver subbed in at TE2 you'd play out of position all the time.

I've noticed myself fumbling a LOT more on all-pro and all madden this year. I know to do posession catches more frequently but in terms of using R1 to protect the ball - how should I be using it most effectively? Do I try and time the R1 brace, do I hold it down, or ??? I'm assuming the game auto braces on pro difficulty.

Am I fumbling more on higher difficulties because I'm not holding R1 or doing possession catches manually enough?

Calvin Johnson Jr.

Yea, I'm getting wrecked by fumbles after the catch and it's getting kinda silly.

I have a question about ratings... do they actually matter? So many times in games it seems like my best players are lower rated than my superstars. I have this one 6'6 WR that's a 73 overall with 91 speed, 68 STR, 72 BPR and mediocre abilities outside of that. Yet he absolutely balls out against everyone. He regularly beats corners deep but more surprisingly he is able to muscle through tackles like they're nothing. Are there factors outside of the stats you see that affect the performance of WRs? Also I wonder if his size and weight modifies his strength. Is a 6'6 240 lb WR with 70 STR stronger than a 5'11 195 lb WR with 70 str?

there are like 10 diff hidden traits like "drops open passes: yes/no"

look up your card on muthead.com and check. people don't check those traits enough.

look at player traits

"high motor" is pretty important for defense imo

chances are your WR has the "fight for extra yards" trait
