Vikings D

Help!!! New to Madden and I'm playing in a league and just getting
scored on at a high rate. I'm good with O which keeps me in the game
but my D stinks. I have been working with a lot of PB (jets, NE, Bal,
Min) and there D never seems to get pressure even with Allen and
Williams. Ive tried moving them around and out of position. even the
DB's seem to drop alot of sure ints so it's all around bad D very
frustrating. Does anybody play with Minny a majority of the time, and
what do you think about there D and anything you've done to make it
better? Also those slip screens kill my slow team if they are able to
get past the first person any comments/feedback (besides you suck)
would be appreciated.

the vikes are the team i always run with. my best advice to you is to just user coverage and make that QB hold the ball just a little bit longer and you will get those sacks

4-3 for the vik's.....it's perfect..you got nano's out of it....the set up is easy...that's why i switch to it....

Have not used the 4-3 other than the Minn PB. I know alot of people say to use the 4-4 before using the 4-3 but have not tried it. It would be nice if with the suggestions you could give the PB your talking about or some fav play so i can lab it. This is specifically for Minn I don't want to give up on them just want to get better...Thanks

ues multiple...it has 4-3.and 2-4-5..all money d.play's..run with them!!!!!!!

Been in the lab with the 4-3 trying out different schemes. Does anyone who uses 4-3 move their players around? I've tried moving Allen but he isn't as effective as when he is at RE in the 4-3. The 2-4-5 is a good D to show again not alot of pressure i move CB's in but they aren't fast enough to recover. Anyone have a couple plays I could lab with in that formation?

Play zone coverage, your DBs aren't fast enough for man. I'd advise you to switch to a 3-4 scheme and bring 3 man pressure with Allen, P and K. Mix in some blitzes, but always play "bend but don't break".

Still working on the 4-3 dee with the Vikings. Have been using a lot of zone but a lot of times it gives the QB to much time. also the HB screen gets alot of yards off it. I would think the Vikes would be better at pressure with Allen but in the game he doesn't get to the QB as much as you'd think.

Anybody use Vikings and have suggestions on better pressure, should i change Allen's position ( I see alot of people say move him to olb but he seems slower there) in the 4-3 or Williams to help with more pressure.

Use 3-4... Allen at RE Kevin at LE and Pat at NT Sit back in zone's all game.

READ MY MIND

Thanks for the reply but then I would have to switch to 3-4 and i have been playing and in the lab with 4-3. Especially with everyone saying the Vikes are meant to be used in the 4-3 not the 3-4. I guess i could try multiple d and have both 3-4 & 4-3. is there any specific zone that i should try to practice with to bring the pressure, If I just sit back in the zone teams with good QB's or just good players in general tend to pick it apart.

I've been going with the 3-4 trying to play zone and blitzing with Allen and K Will but still not much pressure and alot of times they kill me up the middle or sideline throws. Have gotten a lot better finally wining games sometimes butting back to back wins in. Any other helpful hints for Vikes D is always appreciated!!!
