General Offensive tips

hey guys im sort of new to madden and i was jw if i coud get some general tips to help me improve on this game thank you in advance

Know your strengths, recognize your opponents weak points, and exploit them

really this game is all about defence
also my stradegy on offence is to stay in one formation where i can run the ball when i know they spread the line, also have a pass on my audibles to beat zone, a audible pass where i can beat man defence, and a good solid screen play for the blitz.
i do great doing this and i dont switch to any other formation unless i am up by 14 points

I like your style reminds me of myself

i have a question... i am having issues against drop back zones... even if i throw the drag route... i only get about 3 yards...

what typically beats zones... i thought i had it down with one of my plays but i notice it is inconsistent so i figure might as well try and get help...

i am currently 8-5 online have played with cards bears and falcons and i still dont have a team lol i am using det playbook

thanks, i assume hot routing will beat zones i just dont know how

i know how to hot route... i meant to what

you got a ps3?
you got a headset?

if u think u can beat me doing that u way wrong. borixan hit me up on psn beeman999 and ill show u how to play there are only so many money plays in a formation/ u need to find some moeny runs and some nice passes. try to not make mistakes. if u play mistake free u will prolly win.

i know how to beat cover 2 every time for a TD
as for cover 3 i have a few routes
to get the bigger pass plays watch the SAFETIES
throw it where they aint

what formation are you guys using to run the ball.. im having trouble running the ball..

I have been a offensive juggernaut for years. 09 I did OK, but top players shut me down. But this year HOLY COW I can't score for the life of me. I finally found some Nano to mix in so that greatly helped my defense but for offense I am stumped. Been using Miami playbook, Can't find any good deep route money plays that are consistant. Most my plays get 2-3 yards if that.

I love madden but maybe I am just getting too old for this game

U can lab without anyone to lab with.. I lab in practice mode and then take what I've learned into an unranked game.. To lab effectively u first gota see how to beat any coverage with one play and then learn to read defence in a game and make the correct read...

Try plays with a lot of levels (Slants with deep crossing routes).

I like to run everything out of the same offensive formation so the opponent can't key on what I'm going to do.
