Ok, I play on 360 and last night I played in the highest scoring game I have been in since I started playing Madden. I played against Vick and I was The Colts. I know there are plenty of threads talking about how to stop the deep ball, but this just does not apply to any of them. I lost alot of respect for this game last night because of what happened. All the guy could do was throw the deep ball. There would be times when I could stop him with the nickel corner blitz, and he would actually have to punt, but when it came down to the wire he would toss it up to Jenkins or Lelie and even if I had double coverage on them, which I did every time, he would still manage to jump over them and catch the ball. I would press the coverage back and I don't go for the INT on those, I always swat, and my timing is down as well. It made no difference, which made me quite pissed off. I could have won if I had managed the clock better, but it should not have came down to that. There was no stopping it. Can anybody relate?

I run into shootouts, but its usually b/c of turnovers... i usually dont have any problems with the deep ball unless I get caught in a zone coverage. What coverages were you running?

Quarters normal 2 man under and the zone blitz out of the nickel formation that blitzes the 2 corners and the other one that blitzes one corner and one LB... They have worked with pretty much every other team, but the freakin falcons owned it last night... I don't see any way around it.

Quarters 3 Deep - Man

Three safeties deep. CBs manned up.

I run this all game long with 'bombers'.

I know, I know but then they will run all over me, right? Possibly, yes, but there are some nice play variations in this set. A couple of nice blitzes and an excellent man/zone combo.

This is excellent, especially against the Falcons.
