Madden Hints:

I'm feeling a cold coming on.

lol. I can't bring myself to call off for a video game.

I'm feeling a cold coming on.

Hahah...I got a horrible "cold" when MGS4 came out. I bought a PS3 and i've had this cough ever since, just cant seem to shake it.

doesn't really work like that anymore very easy to jump

Yeah, I know. My offense mainly comprises of lots of hard inside runs, and play action for deep passes. I like the 4 WR set play action where all 4 wides cross the field. TE corners and corners still work ok, just not like they used to.

I think the best thing you can do is to call the plays like it's a real NFL game. For example, it's a good idea to:

(1) First and foremost, find a playbook you like and stick with it.
(2) Practice plays in your playbook prior to games.
(3) Don't run the same plays over and over; the game tends to punish playcalling that is predictable or one-sided (e.g., 90% pass, 10% run).
(4) Don't go for it on 4th and 10 deep in your own territory unless there are 2 minutes left in the game.
(5) Actually look at player matchups and expose weaknesses.
(6) Don't blitz on every down.
(7) Movement at the LOS (on defense or offense) tends to confuse the AI.
(8) Practice throwing the ball high, to one shoulder, etc.
(9) Substitute players for certain packages (e.g., if you always run in one formation, which you shouldn't, put a OT where the TE is).

As for being a GM, the game sucks. You oftentimes have to pay a 3rd rounder 1st round money. You can often trade an aging, but good, vet for high draft picks. If you win a bunch of games, you'll have a roster filled with players with 95+ ratings.

draft QB first then RB and then DE and DB's......and play the game like a game of chess
