How to take your game to the next level.

Okay, so i am level 25 and i play great against people who just play real football, but when i play someone who runs same D all game and uses a very basic offense(2 or 3 plays) i completely fall apart. What can i do to help play better against these types of people? If, i can play well against these types of people i think that my madden gaming will get at a whole new level.

So here's my playbooks:
Offense-TB
Defence-46

Please feel free to give me tips and suggestions, thanks.

What plays do you have trouble with?

You could just play real ball control, you still won't be able to stop it but they can't really do it as much...

Well for example sometimes i'll play someone who just completely stacks the line so i can't get the run going, and then I'll try to pass it and i can't fine one whole in there zones. So maybe is there any good plays the can expose zones?

Screens...

yeah do screens then hit them with no huddle and do a run

Yeah, screens are cool, but the only thing is most of the time when i do a screen, for some off reason my player just falls or either dives forward.

That happens sometimes if it's snowing...

Make sure you drop straight back, and throw a bullet pass...

if you hold square for too long (bullet pass to the square reciever), he will dive when he catches it

Oh... well I guess I got the magic touch cause my screens always work no matter who I use...

if they running the same plays try to read the zones with SNAP reads

Cover 4 - All dbs and safeties drop back (Throw Flats or Curl Routes)

Cover 3 - FS runs across the middle to the right (Throw Middle or Side Line Fade or Corner Post)

Cover 2 - FS runs toward the Side Line (Throw to Steak or Fade or Anything Deep)


Pre-Snap

Check man or Zone

motion one of the receivers to the opposite side

if your man follows den it man and if not its zone

this is very effective! i just started disciplining myself to make "Pre-Snap" reads the other day during one of my lab sessions.

Well I don't think the Man or zone thing matters seeing as nobody uses man.

Also I don't know where the QB is going to get a steak to throw against the cover 2.
