Do you need nanos to be good at D?

im just curious i dont run any nanos and im OK at D im thinkin of adding some to maybe help it out some or just start mixing up my coverages some more.

thoughts?

all you need is good stick and your D will be fine

yes. To compete you need either good F@G D(s) or a couple good nanos.

lol all u guys do is disagree i love it

u dont need it 2 be good but its nice to have them. i agree with crazy black having good stick is better then nano blitzes.

no you don't need them but if the jet's and 85..bear's and 2000,Raven's can do it!!why can't us..think about it.

good stick will let a 4 man rush get there

A good thing to add to your defense is 2 plays that look exactly the same pre-snap, but are very different post-snap. Like, you can have a very good nano and, next play, set your D the same way but SURPRISE everybody drops in coverage.

no but its nice to have some to mix with your coverage but good stick youll should be good

Why cant you have nanos AND good stick. lol. Nobody thought about that.

lol very true

but i would rather have great stick and zero nanos then bad stick and all the nanos

Ding, ding, ding.

We have a winner. I believe in coverage sacks.

People who use nanos and fag d's all the time are weak. it ruins what could be a good match-up. instead you got someone just trying to exploit the system. most people who have to use nano's and all these other gimmicks really arent good in the first place. thats why they use that bs. just my opinion.

this is a great way to get a pick just by catching em off guard i try to do this very often.

They are nice 2 have and bring them out of nowhere but when u learn them u might get nano happy it happened 2 me and i got the 46 e book and now im wanting to do them again. The thing about them is sometimes if they get picked up you will get burned big time

if you base your entire D around nano's and somebody knows how to pick them up or exploit them then your i have some nanos but i play more coverage and rely on good stick skills and superior playcalling to get me by i like to bring heat only in certain situations, when the time is right, to force my opponent to have to make a tough descision. you deffinetly do not need nanos to be good on D, every nano can be exploited some way or another. lol

Whats interesting is I have a friend that I have been playing madden with for many years. I just started getting online this year and getting on this site. I can beat him pretty easily now, but b4 we went back and forth constantly. HOWEVER, he has always used the FS on D, while I used to use a lineman. He doesn't nano, and he used to play college football. He also has a good stick from controlling the FS for so long. He is still better than me on D. We actually tested it online by each playing a series on D against the same player in the same game. He could stop ppl when I couldnt. He just couldn't move the ball on O. So you are def right.

Yeah if they get busted up u are gonna pay big time

you are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! if you base your did around 1 or 2 nano, the yor are against a good player, but if you base your D around 15 to 25 nano the or beaste against any player. stick skill is good gainst the run. i am going to pick apart any coverage in madden 10, because the gm is too slow. you will have all the time in the world to go through your read. f@g D is a little beats hard to destroy but all youy need to destroy a f@g D is a quick draw out of any short gun play. nano blitz is the way to go in these year madden.

um where did i ever mention fag D??? lol just cuz i dont nano doesnt mean im playin fag D, i like to bring a 4 man rush alot of the times and user the saftey or one of my really good DE's to get pressure on you so no you dont have all day to sit in the pocket and pick apart my coverage, i mean geeze you really think you have to nano to be good? lol

If you have a nano ( a blitz that gets to the qb regardless of slide protection unevaded while only rushing 4 or fewer defenders) they are near impossible to play against.
Madden of the past jad these and it was very time consuming to figure ways to power block your hbs and tes. It also cause unbumpables to form.

If you don't have or use nanos you are the exception and not the norm. In order to play madden at a elite level you need to bring intense pressure 80% of the time(this is a arbitrary number)

If you play coverage for the vast majority of games its a good indicator of your ability to win against a quality opponent. Its also a direct resemblance of your inability of effective lab time.

I dont nano and I got a good record vs good opponents and only give up 14pts a game on avg so my answer is no you dont got to nano
