I look at the Madden season as being comprised of two pretty distinct stages. First, there is the initial learning phase. This comes right when the game comes out. Players have to learn the new features and nuances of the game.

They have to check out what works from last year, and what doesn’t. We often find that players have become dependent on certain tactics (the strafe catch for example) and struggle at the game. Gradually the players get past this learning curve, go back to their fundamental X’s and O’s and begin to master the game.

Our Virtual Playbook found at:

is geared towards helping experienced players get over this curve quickly. For new players, it helps them achieve the same solid base that long time competitive players have.

Phase 2 of the game begins when players really begin to explore the game in earnest. New go-to tactics develop and begin to be put into action online and in tournament play. The game of Madden evolves. If you are a serious Madden player and don’t want to be left behind, then you have to spend some serious time in the Lab practicing the game and looking for new schemes.

If you are like most people, then you don’t have 20 hours a week to devote to finding new stuff and learning to counter glitches and money schemes that have hit you online. That’s where the Virtual Filmroom steps in.
