Madden 10: AskMadden Tip of the Week

Madden has always mirrored the NFL. In this week's tip, we look at what the Philadelphia Eagles have to take into account if they want to be successful passing the ball. This logic goes hand-in-hand with the Madden football series.

Bottom line, fast receivers are only a threat when they have space to use their speed. To overcome physical corners as well as inexperience, we hit practice mode to demonstrate how the Eagles in the NFL, as well as teams with undersized receivers in Madden, get open space for their playmakers to create big plays.

Using picks to get open? Seriously? No offense to the OP, but it constantly amazes me at what passes for strategy in Madden.

Then what do you suggest for people that abuse the over powered bump and run coverage in this game?

And though picks are illegal, teams get away with it 80% of the time at least.

I don't play online, but in APF2K8 you could do a couple of things against guys that abuse bump.

1. Get a Bump Master receiver
2. Motion a receiver and then hike the ball before the defense could get set.
3. Use Arrow Routes
4. Use double move routes
5. Use Screen Plays
6. Use Flats

There's probably a couple of more I forgot. The strategy showed in this video is more of a problem with pathing in Madden than a planned pick. i.e. More along the lines of an exploit rather than utilizing real football strategy.

That is all fine and dandy but the game we are talking about is Madden, not APF2K8. "Picks" happen every Sunday, some WR's even use the referees as landmarks. So its not all that unheard of.

Wow, not APF2K8, thanks for pointing that out, I was sooo confused.

While picks may happen in the NFL, it's not programmed into Madden. What you are seeing is a pathing issue with the players. If you want to pretend it's a pick, more power to you. Myself, I'd rather employ real offensive strategy to break a defensive strategy instead of depending on deficiencies in the game.

I listed several viable options, that should work. Are you saying none of the items I provided above work in Madden? None?

Picks work in the NFL and they work in Madden. It isn't a cheese thing, it is just strategy. Madden is trying to mirror the NFL so why shouldn't picks be successful, and why shouldn't we use them?
