good team to use

[TO81BALLINNN]

im looking for a team with good defence and a good running game, where the line actully blocks, any team u have in mind? i know a couple teams that might work well but are there any teams that i might not notice that are good at running and defence?

[blueblood]

Steelers, Chargers and Broncos. That's the ones I can think of from the top of my head.

[franklinismint]

i use the jags.. good dt lbs and secondary.. good runnin game and matt jones really good..get rid of brrady and put lewis and wrighters at te.. leftwich is slow as crap but 97 thp which is great...fb wimbush 88 spd i use on some te packages

[seantaylor21]

redskins but u look like a cowgirls fan.

[wazaflo]

look at baltimore. and if you want the line to 'actually block lol' then you're going to have to stop holding down the sprint button while you run the ball. defense gets off blocks much easier when you sprint.

Are you kidding me?Dont sprint?

[wesburnsco86]

has anyone else heard of this and experienced it

Of course. If you sprint right away, your blocks don't engage and that LB than almost got laid out by your left guard just tackled you for a 1 yard gain because you sprinted straight for the corner.

[sumtingwong]

if you want a solid gain by running up the middle, don't use sprint and instead stay behind blockers and run through the hole when it opens up. you can hold sprint once a hole opens up to run through it, i don't even bother with that though unless i'm sure there are no defenders on the other side and it is all open field ahead. if you hold sprint from the beginning of the run you will either run into your own linemen and lose the manuverability to free yourself (you lose stick control when you hold turbo) or if you do run past them you will have no blocking infront of you and you'll be tackled right away.

yea i got to level 11 using jags . i must have gotten really lucky because ive learned alot of stuff that i could have used on this fforum ... i put brady at FB ... the blocking was decent but taylor fumbles like a queer ..


redskins but u look like a cowgirls fan. yea i hate playing redskins and im pretty sure cowboys would rock them

yea ive actully heard that and tryed it, but ive only done it on sweeps and tosses and it worked like **** ... idk i gess ive just gotta get used to it, since like 4 of you guys say it works .. thanks

[Averagejoe65]

Yeah I used to sprint all the way through kick off returns but now I just run slowly behind my blocks, stay patient,..the wedge usually lays two-three people on the ground creating a hole down the field for a good 35-45 yard return.

[TO81BALLINNN]

yea?? awesome. im good at returning kicks by sprinting the whole way, so i cant wait to see what happens if this works

[Averagejoe65]

Yeah just be real patient, let your players engage in their blocks,..in works wonders. I used to be so impatient trying to bust it up a small gap. Now lately I return a kick for a TD once every two games.

[go_redskins25]

how bout them redskins:p

[TO81BALLINNN]

alright .. so i try this out with the ravens ... im getting alot of yards .. but i cant break a big one because lewis is slow ... so im pounding it up the middle over and over again and hes not stopping it .... then i fumble ... so i figure ill give him a breather during my next drive ... first play i give it to musa smith .... he fumbles ..... i end up losing because i cant get baltimores D fence to make and stops for a FG.

and1 have tips for not fumbling? i gess holding triangle would help but does any1 actully do it?

i also cant do **** with baltimores defence

[DawkinsAllDay]

There offense is bananas mainly with the running game.. They have Mike and Tatum bell these guys are sick.. What i do is i sub Mike at fullback and leave Tatum at half back..Walker, Marshall, Jackson and Smith are nasty with the user catches...Plumber is good but dont forget about Cutler the man has a cannon for a arm..

When it comes to there Defense it starts with Mr Bailey aka shut down cb.......He is the #1 cornerback in the NFL when it comes to CB's he is the first person you think of and there isnt a NFl announcer that will disagree....You have Williams as the other starting CB his awarness isnt as high as Bailey but his speed is 97 that will take care of that...With lynch the passing game is basically over, you still have Wilson and Gold as LB's so the running game is gonna be kind of taken care of...You really dont have to user catch with Bailey because of his awarness but i user catch 99% of the time..I dont let the computer catch anything for me unless its a bullet pass..I play as Safety witch is either Ferguson or lynch depending on the side of the receivers.....

I love the Broncos there a real good team if you know how to use them, it takes time but what dosnt??

[UnKn0wN41510]

the only advice that should have been given is all team are good to use if you know how to use them...

people tellin you what best team to use because they know how to play them...

make a new account and play atleast 3-4 games teams that you think are good and see what teams fits ur style of playing....

[Mikey]

cowboys best team there very well rounded

dood, you just sprint as soon as you get the ball? Watch this youtube video:

At :23, he says "you need to be patient, and then know when to explode through that hole" That means not just sprinting as soon as ou get it. Let the blocks develop, then sprint through the hole.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH7QR7NWKLU

At 1:00, watch the RG pull right and take the OLB. The tackle blocks the DT left. The LG and FB also pull right, and block the DT to the right. The center is cut blocking to the left and takes out the angle of both the DT and MLB. This opens a big hole for Tomlinson.
His read (on whether to keep it inside of take it outside) is based off of the FB and Gaurds block. He kept it inside, and luckily the MLB couldnt get there in time.
So, on this play he had a FB and two gaurds pulling to set up blocks.
If you just sprint as soon as you get the ball, you got the the DT and OLB before either of your gaurds did-- and you got tackled.

At 2:35 you see the FS up at the line. Now, you see the Tackles blocking down the DE, and a pulling gaurd takes out the FS (#24). If that gaurd didnt pull, it was a loss of 3 yards. Instead LT waited for the gaurd to pull and get the FS out of the way, and THEN sprinted through and got the TD.

Watch the FB set up the block at 3:30, and LT cut off his back.

Same thing at 4:17. And 5:20. And 5:40. Watch the RG pull on 5:57. At 6:14 he had both a FB and WR set up crucial blocks.

Follow your blockers! Don't just sprint to the hole!
