[Madden NFL 13] Broshaming is not cool, bro.

2. Hot route the TE to a wheel route (right stick up on the PS3).
3. If the corner on the WR is playing off, hot route the WR to a curl (left stick down). At the snap, keep your eyes on the safety and LBs on that side. If any of them rush over towards the sideline, look for the TE to come open deep down the middle (lead him a little inside). If no one rushes over, throw a bullet to the WR curl for ~12 easy yards.
4. If the corner is playing the WR tight, hot route the WR to a streak. At the snap look for the TE. If it's a zone, look for the TE deep down the middle again. If it's man the TE will often have inside position and you can throw him open by throwing hard to the inside. ADVANCED MOVE: If the CB is playing the WR tight and it's zone, the WR will come free after a second and be wide open in the seam. Throw it hard, outside, and deep and it will often go the distance (assuming the WR is fast enough to outrun the safety). The trick is you have to throw it before you see the receiver to get it there before the safety covers, and if you misread the zone (and it's man instead) you'll often throw it right to the CB.
5. Have a receiver from the other side running a slant or drag as a third option or last resort.
Congrats, you've just created a basic high/low read: if the defense is in anything but cover 3/4, the deeper route is likely to be open once the receiver passes the linebackers. If they are in cover three, just throw to the shorter crossing route and take the five or seven yards.
This is especially effective once you get used to using set packages to rotate your better receivers into the slot positions.

The temptation is to drop seven to 10 yards back from the LoS: in addition to making your throws longer and thus harder to complete, it widens the angle your tackle has to keep the end out of, which will get you sacked (for a big loss, too.) Unless you're throwing a screen pass or you're a cheater who uses michael vick, you don't want to be dropping back a long way.

This one is very, very important and a habit that I'm still working on getting rid of. I watched many a replay where I can see I completely fucked up the play by dropping back way too far.
Some things bother me, DB's with stick em on their hands, run blocking seems way too easy...overall though it's a good balance.

Did get picked twice though

at least they don't intercept/bat passes blindly anymore, though

Was that a user played game, because I can believe it with these defenders (and Tebow's arm), and secondly,
Come on, Madden. Realism. Skip Bayless would find a way to defend a 4 pick Tebow game and you know it

I think I'm going to start the season with a RB as my number two WR. Bengals wide-outs not named Green are kind of terrible. Speed 83? Who signed you, Slowby McWhiteyson?
I got Evans and Housh to replace Harvin, I figure combined they can do his job. Evans on 1st and 2nd down for his speed, Housh on 3rd for his route running and sure hands. I just have to figure out packages to successfully sub them.
Also, what is the rule for friends who arent members of PA? I have a buddy who would proabably love to get in on a more scheduled, active league with lots of teams. But I understand if we want to keep it in house. To be honest, he gets kinda upset sometimes when playing, so maybe I shouldn't inflict that upon anyone else
I tried doing you a favor by injuring David Carr in our preseason game but I only managed to knock him out for one quarter.
I have no problem with it, in principle. But, he would need to register here and be accessible through the forum, whether by post or PM. He would also need to be chill, or at least able to abide by the "Don't be a dick." rule. Otherwise, I leave it to your discretion.
Ill pass on inviting him. I do want someone to join as the bears and lions though, get a whole NFC north goin on!
Oh and @ANTVGM64 has your friend joined PA yet? I don't want to be the dick commish, but I will boot him if it becomes an issue

I will try to be online tonight, see if I can catch you

Central
Ah, balls. Might've stayed up to play my game if it was 12 eastern.
Man, I can't wait to NOT have to play the computer.
Friendly game of Madden for 360, anyone? Anyone?
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
All good. I'm on for the next hour so if you make it then sweet, and if not I can sim the game so we get it complete before the turnover tonight
psn: lankyplonker
If it's not complete then it'll just be simmed anyway, and at least in past version the commish could also tell the AI who would win. If this is possible, I would only do this if it was agreed between the 2 that it was a specific players fault for not getting the game in, such as not being around to play your game. In the regular season, I will also extend the advancement 1 day if it was agreed that the 2 teams would infact play and have a scheduled play time so let me know (By PM!) whats up if a game can get played after the deadline.
As for playoff games, I'll let as much time as needed pass to get a game played between 2 human controlled teams. Within reason, of course.
Seriously is there like a 'Madden for Dummies' out there? Like I thought the career mode would be like pick a team and take them to the Super Bowl but it isn't, like, at all. I'm so completely confused.

If you choose to play as a coach then you get the traditional franchise mode experience.
I'm at work so I can't just check on my own. But the first time I played a game with my created QB he only got to play for like 1 quarter then I just watched little colored bars until I found out I had lost.

what did the AI do? Cut a high 70 player while keeping several low 50's?
I don't know what the fuck the computer is thinking sometimes and this just the stuff I noticed after deciding to check my roster because my releasing Bennet was one of the stories on the front page.
