Who should I control on defense

ya if they run sugs alot what i like to do is play the either the FS or SS on the open (big) side of the field and highlight the inside reciever on the oppisite side.. that tells ur corners to focus over there and you can manually cover the other side.. but be careful cause if your not good with your stick if you miss play the ball its 6!!!!

if you're just learning, user your SS. dont start with a LB or FS.

#1 FS require the highest skill needed (I think because you'll be usering him to defend the pass) meaning you'll have to look at the QB and the receiver in your area constantly, and if you miss its almost sure to be a TD.

#2 LB's require you to be able to stop the immediate run, and if you miss with them all you have are scrawny 200 pound secondary players to stop AP for example.

Why user your SS? Because you have the option of usering the pass or the run. Most of the time with the run you'll have ur lb's to aid your run stop and if they miss you have a big hitter to make them submit to authority. Make sure you press L2/LT to square up the hit to make sure you have the best shot at taking him down.

i run the multiple defense and the only time i ever user another player on defense besides the FS is when i call the inside blitz from the 46 defense... in that case i user the LOLB who plays as the LILB or if your looking at the screen he's the LB in the middle on the right side.

it makes it real easy to get pressure especially when you have a fast LB at that spot like Thomas Davis from Carolina... but make sure if you run this play to line up your other players so they don't get beat to the sidelines by the running backs out of the backfield bcuz that will be the QB's safety net. if he decides to quick throw to a WR it hardly ever end up in a catch. sometimes press with the DB's and it'll end up being a pick if he gets smart and tries to quick slant.

i forgot to mention to smart blitz the LB on that play and line him up right behind the outside hip of the defensive tackle on his side and run straight up the line... instant pressure!

I just control line and LB too much damage when I cotrol safties

I think the safety position is the worst person to play. I personally attack the safety that my opponent is playing. Sometimes it may look like the safety has something locked up but they are out of position to make a play on the ball. Thats where a lot of people mess up.

If you ever play against someone who has stick skills and try to attack their FS then good luck cuz those will be picks all day.

MLB I've always done that mainly because I played MLB but it lets you control the short/mid passing game over the middle which helps out

safety.

I run a lot of Cover 2 so I use one ILB because I can run around more. When I run Cover 3 or Cover 4 on long distance plays, then I'll take the SS.

FS, he's the QB of the defense, but on 3rd down and passing, i control my best pass rusher.

Usually the middle lb is....
