Madden-School.com is releasing there first newsletter this week. It should be a good recap on the week and a summary of things to come in the following 7 days.

One idea I know people we're really diggin' was the User Tip of the Week.

So, please, give us your thoughts. Every week we'd like to feature one of your best tricks and techniques. Pre-snap reads, your favorite formation, your favorite play, anything like that. Just write up a good description of what you got and hopefully you will be featured in next weeks newsletter.

lol, I can't work on it right now, but I am working on having mod add the forums to make it easier to add stuff to the newsletter.

does anyone have any ideas for the weeks to come? i've got the go ahead to do the newsletter (although there still wont be any pictures in the e-mail) so i'd like to start collecting user tips as soon as possible.

i'll go ahead and save them now and use them as the weeks progress.

i may even be able to talk someone into giving you madden cash for the information you type up.

i dont mind if its a money play, a playbook, a general strategy, just any good tip whatsoever. as much detail as possible would be cool.

ok.

im getting this going again.

feel free to submit stuff to me that you've already posted some where else. i'm just looking for something you think people should try or know.

i'd appreciate it if you guys write it up in a clear way, so people can read it in the newsletter and try it out later. however you feel u need to set it up is fine with me. but know that a bunch of people (i hope) will see it.

submit your tips! PM them to me and i'll either put it in this week's newsletter, or save it for the next week if i already have one for this week.

I want detailed instructions on the rocket catch... Im having trouble getting it down.

yeah that would be a good one. any RC lovers and experts feel like helping us out?

I want to know more about RCing too...

so hard to xplain

i think thats a clear implication that you CAN explain it, even though its hard. haha.... so, think you'd want to try?


and i can even lab it, and ill write along with your article how it worked (if it worked) because im still new to all that kinda stuff. im still pretty average, so itd be a good example.

i have a few money plays that i love out of the RnG playbook. how do i get you guys the breakdown????

if you have anything that you'd like to submit, just right up a good article, not too big, but you know - good enough information, and you can send it to me here by PM or at my eMail EggzOverEazy420@yahoo.com

This is a skill that you must develop if you are
going to be able to hang with top level players Well folks, it's still
here and I am going to show you how to do it. You will have to do it
the hard way and must have good stick control. There is no offensive
strafe in the game this year.

First I am going to show you how
to do this versus man defense, which is tougher to do because the
defenders play up tight and close to the offensive player. We hot route
the FL on a streak.

Once you hike the ball, wait until your
offensive player is 15-20 yards down the field and then pass lead down.
I prefer to throw it 20-30 yards down the field. The next step is to
click on and turn in, then down to the ball. Press and hold the catch
button to make the catch.

You must pay attention to the spot of the ball and be close to the red circle on the ground. This is when you want to stop.

Then
press and hold the catch button to make the catch. Notice how high the
WR gets up. This is the same animation as last year, but can only be
done by turning in the WR.

In this example, I want to show you
how to do it versus zone defense, which is much easier to do than man.
We are going to do the same thing--hot route the FL on a streak.

To
do it versus a Cover 2 Zone is tricky, because this year the safeties
play very well in a Cover 2 defense and come up toward the ball. So you
must cut in front of the safety; otherwise, it will be a pick the other
way. When done right, there is almost no stopping this, but I will say
that you can't make a living off of it like you did last year.

I want to give you another example of throwing the rocket catch. This is up the seam.

Throw the ball the same: pass lead down, then turn in the same way. Stop and press the catch button.

Final Thoughts

The
Rocket Catch in Madden 09 is by no means guaranteed like in Madden 08.
It is still there and can open up your offense, but do not try to make
a living off of it because the defense still has the advantage.
Remember that they can strafe and do not have to turn their defender
around like on offense.


Senior sent this to me might as well put it up.

Ty senior. I would like to thank seniors bro piere for the tip. We all greatly appreciate it

Thank U

Great idea, are you going to send out emails to everyone when they arrive?

Thanks guys.... It sounds like what I have been doing except I have been lead passing up. Could that be the thing im doing wrong?

ya lead passing uo would be sailing the ball, which makes it harder for you to rc if it over his head.

Thanks Bar, definitley gonna lab it up this entire weekend...

whenever id lead pass it down the OLB in the flat zone in a cover3 or 2 would jump and get it.
Thats why i dont rocket corner routes, but the streak is easier to me

great idea your smart
