Hi all,

I am here to try to learn to be a better player.

When I play against the CPU, I probably win about 80% of the games.

When I go online and play people (at my level- level 1) I get crushed.

I can't seem to stop anyone on defense, but they seem to somehow shut down my pass game to the point that the CB's always jump the route and intercept and I struggle to run the ball.

Where should I start?

First, you have to understand that playing the CPU and other users is completely different. A human mind is way more brillant that Madden's AI so you'll have to start the chess game if you want to win!

Let's start with the base: play selection.

I guess you always chose the plays you wanted to use, regardless of the formations, when playing the CPU. Well, if you're playing a human, you'll have to mix your stuff. What I mean is, if you're coming out in Singleback Big using one play, the opponent will figure out how you make it work and he'll shut it down.

Second: user catching.

If you're playing the CPU, you must think that, when you throw a pass, the defender will lose the battle if he's behind the receiver. However, against someone, you'll find out that they can take control of the player and bust the pass. That's why you want to find plays that create wide separation between the defenders and receivers.

Final: defensive coverages.

When you play the CPU, you'll find that it often comes out in plays like Cover 2, Cover 3, 2 man under, etc. Well, against a human, the plays won't be the same. You'll have more pressure and more complex coverages. Play some unranked games to get used to online defenses and make the correct reads.

I'll let a D mind talk to you about defense.

YEa play a lot of unranked games to get the feeling of how online is played and what O and D's work online.

Once you think your ready go hit some ranked games.

What O and D PB do you use?
What teams do you prefer?

I have been playing with the Saints lately, but I have used the Pats, Steelers (yuck), and the Broncos.

I have not really played around with playbooks, I just use the defaults.

The other week, I played a guy that hit my RB (Bush) so hard that he fumbled like every 3rd time he carried the ball. Whatever he did made the screen shake.

I have never played an unranked game- I guess that makes sense.

As for practice, probably a good idea also.

This is a stupid question, but how do you call for a fair catch on the 360? The owners manual is pretty inadequate as far as the controls go. I guess they assume people have played for a long time?


(BTW- that Steelers comment is not about the real team, just in game they suck)
