Yeah its tough, I find that the 2 man zone works best for deep throws. I can ususally knock it down with my safeties. But rarely ill get a WTF catch over two of my defenders.

Idk if its just me but when did they combine the bat/swat button on defense with the catch button??
No wonder I've been allowing so many catches
:x
I haven't played since madden 11 :\

Online play is such a damn joke... so sick of playing against people who hurry up every single damn play and somehow have miraculous blitzes that I can do nothing against. What a damn joke. SO SICK OF CHEESERS.

EA has to turn down run blocking a lil its too easy to get to the outside and if you guess the right side of the run they can always cut it back to the other side

And idk what you guys are talking about... my WR's NEVER get open. It's like I don't play for 2 days and all a sudden everyone I play against covers Calvin perfectly. :x
Getting so annoyed.

^You have to mix things up. Maybe I'm playing sub-par opponents, but I can manage to get DHB, D. Moore, Ford, Streater, or McFadden open on any given play.
Calvin should be a monster beating press coverage (haven't checked his ratings), so if you see somebody pressing...send him deep. Are you seeing a ton of safety help over the top or are your opponents covering Megatron one on one? Personally, I can't go into a Lions game without thinking about doubling him every goddamn play. :x
Also, what do you mean by the "hurry up"? I run a lot of no huddle offense to keep a defense off balance and tired them out so I'm not sure how that's cheesing.

Again, another complaint about the defense. IT IS SO BAD THIS YEAR. I don't think it's ever been this bad to where the only point you can stop the pass is dropping even your lineman into coverage. Who would've known that the quick slant is the most unstoppable route in football history. The CBs don't even react when they see the slant coming. And like I said even when you drop the guy back into coverage it won't matter because he will run up to the WR and play him close which is the reason he gets burned. I've never seen it this bad ever.
And I can't reiterate enough how FAKE the dropped passes are. It's guaranteed to happen 5+ times a game and that's sickening.

I play with the Bears and I usually have no issue getting open rather it's with Forte, Marshall, Hester, Jeffrey, etc.

I know what you mean and honestly, I realized last night that I didn't consciously realize I was holding down the hurry up button. And at times, that strategy gets me into trouble...quick 3 and out and now my defense is winded. So if you run against players who are not creative enough to maximize that strategy, PUNISH THEM for it.

The complaints aren't consistent enough imo. I saw some other member post something about a 5' 9" cornerback jamming Megatron up at the line. You gotta factor in the fatigue of the players and their acceleration. If your DB is tired from playing man coverage a whole series it is possible he will get beat a few times. So far its been 50/50. Find the plays that work for you and you should be good. btw I'm using ******** and Falcons so far. As for drop passes, it's happened a few times, nothing major but most times its me taking over the receiver messing up.
Overall this is probably the most fun I've had playing Madden since 2004.
Found out our league info is on the EA site.

Play someone that cheeses online and abuses the deep routes and come back to me. Trust me just watch a play where the receiver beats your guy and watch what the CB does. He does this move where he goes inside first for no reason at all then decides to go cover the WR and by the time he does it's too late. It's not a matter of picking plays. If you try to switch to deep zone then they beat you short. It's a bug in the game. Fatigue has nothing to do with it they can do it on the very first play of the game.
And it's surprising to see you haven't encountered the dropped passes it happens to me every game. If you throw a very nice pass it will be to no avail cause the WR drops a pass off a small hit.
I know I come off sounding like I don't know how to play defense or I suck at this game and that's not true. I've been playing Madden for forever and I know a problem when I see one.
This might be the best Madden to date with all the fixes on offense and the physics system but they have to fix the defense.

I was off to a rough start online but I've won like 6 straight at 9-4
Reading and anticipating offense and using the left trigger and right stick command has helped a ton... Before I could know what they were doing and theyd still just do it because my players would be nowhere in position to make a stop.
Didn't they get rid of that feature for a year or 2?

I'm not gonna act like the game doesn't have flaws but I figure I'd just adjust my game to them and enjoy it as best as possible. One of the glitches I hate is getting a stretch hand off play to my RB clean then brushing against my OLineman and falling on the floor. Its annoying as hell especially when I see that there was only 1 man to beat but I avoid running certain plays depending on what I've been seeing against the defense.
One of the plays that almost impossible to be is the %#^$& route. Throw the ball when the receiver is 10 yds down the field and it you take control and user catch you're almost always going to catch it.

Playin with the eagles and I fumbled 4 times in 2 1/2 qtrs ... I understand if they were fumbles by me scrambling with Vick, but three were by McCoy and 1 by Jackson. Madden has to do better then that

If that how you want it to work then what's the point of playing? You might as well set everyone to 99 and have an unbeatable team
I think EA is right for taking off the edit feature

Playing on Pro?
Anyways, Megatron in this game is a damn cheat code. I couldn't stop him for anything. Anyway you can double cover a WR? I know you can spotlight.
