Michura's M11 Defensive Tips

[Ultimatum-A]

You'd be goofing off all game because if I ever get into a 4th down, I either kick a field goal or punt.

You know how much I rely on my defense to win games. lol

For every offensive TD I score, my defense scores one.

Yeah...my offense is really basic and kinda sucks. If I can't run the ball, I'm in trouble.

LOL....I do goof off all game. lol, don't you remember? I got dudes running all over, blitzing from anywhere and everywhere, dropping into coverage, leaving wide open spaces in the secondary. LOL, my defense is kinda funny to watch. And my offense is typically high powered. Its a run/pass balanced game, but with high percentage plays. It results in a lot of ints, but if I limit my mistakes, I win every time guaranteed.

I think it's time for us to play again...

yeah? I think so too. this week is looking good. thurs, fri, sat. pick a day. Of course league games take priority, but if a time slot is open, I'll squeeze ya in.

[Nevada_Ballin]

I think my avg is like 23-25.


And Nevada, if you are running the ball that many times, that is still that many opportunities for a strip. Its bend but don't break, make them earn the score and give yourself opportunity to make a play or your opponent to make a mistake.

That's ok, i like my chances of keeping the ball if i can run it. I'm very patient, I don't panic and start throwing the ball every play if I get down a score or two early.

You should try giving the ball to one of your speedy receivers on the reverse every now and then. It actually works well in this game, especially against man coverages. The key is getting a good block by the opposite receiver.

I'll be on thurs/fri night so if you're on and avail for a game hit me up.

Just to keep everyone updated, I won't be doing any writeups or tips until the patch is released.

Is this patch after the first nfl week too?

[BennysDad]

Mich, thx for pass def help. Great as usual.
Any help on the run def side tho?
I just think def is so broken this year, it sucks!!
I do hope a "defensive" patch comes out.
Also, can somebody please post a list of colored zones for me? Like which zone corresponds with which color? Thx

[Papo1981NYY]

What do the colors represent in the coverage? Yellow? Purple? Blue?

Thanks for the other tips. Definately know your football!

[DMost10]

Orange and Yellow hook zones? Are the Orange the same as the 1st down marker zoens in the PS2 game or is this something different?

So far I know of:

Yellow, Purple and Blue...

Explain this orange please.

I love the 360 version. The zones aere actually the same ,only the corners drop back a little further. The only thing thats bugging me is the play books. Where are the playbooks on line I can download, if I have a favorite team that I run with.I don't play on line much at all but when my freinds come over on weekends its crazy. Every time I pass the ball I get good yardage all thye way to the red zone. Sometimes I settle for 3 points.

Yo Real mcCoy, can you hook a brother up on how to use these patches and what are they all about? I don't know whats going on . I probably been playing this new Madden for about two weeks.

I've been playing with the panthers and I'm struggling on defense. Right now all I can do is sit back and keep everything in front and try for a turnover. Any suggestions?

[PSUEagle]

Since you're now incorporating man coverage into your defense, that means I probably should as well.

With that said, what attributes do you feel are most important for cornerbacks? I'm sure speed is one of them, but do you also factor in things like agility heavily?

[mchardj]

For those of you that had the season pass last year, the quarters man fag play works pretty good this year (I think it was released towards the end of the year).
