Here is what I expect out of my passing plays.

-A quick read that must be defended against

-A route that consistently beats man

-The option to add protection based on defensive look

- A route that gets to the 1st down marker

-A late outlet or flat route as a safety valve

Ex. Madden 10 Post Corners!

Madden 11 Strategy – Running the ball!

ZFarls — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 13:58:44 +0000

ZFarls wants to talk about pounding the magic bean today in Madden 11!
So MB Nation, NCAA 11 comes out and I literally find the best run in the game the first time I played.

Naturally, Madden doesn’t have the exact same play or success when running it. So I crutch back to passing the ball and only running in obvious situations. Mostly out of goal-line without a good quick passing option.

When are you running the ball, does your opponent know? Either by game situation or by formation?

I was struggling late in games due to using most of my good passing plays early. Running can really stretch a game out and I lacked the ability to posses the rock.

So I went back to the drawing board…

I looked for a formation which gave me more passing flexibility. Not much, but just the ability to leak it out to a FB or make a defense who stacks the line pay.

Next, I made sure it had a nice off tackle style run. One that allows you to cut it outside or just kick it up the gut for a few tough yards.

Then, I played a guy who GASHED me with a counter run, so I went to see what was so effective and learned about a run in MY PB that had the same effect. I now had off tackle and counter so I can run both directions quite quickly. Lastly, I came out in a play that allows me to use the off tackle, counter and quick pass. This play happened to be a toss run outside, so I know had run right, run left, run middle covered and can change quickly based on defensive look.

I ALWAYS COME OUT IN THIS TOSS PLAY. I dont care if you don’t plan on running it. If you come out in the counter, and don’t want to counter, there is no way to get to the toss. It was a hard habit to break, but if you ever had the chance to bust a toss and can’t get to it, it will stick with you!

Now, I COMMIT to running the ball, 2nd and 11 is a passing situation for most, but I will run because I must make the defense respect it.

The most common thing in Madden is that once a player abandons the run, they NEVER go back to it. Especially if they lose the lead and are having decent passing success. This allows the defense to sit back on defense and never even worry about the run.

Even at gamestop, I got locked up early, but I stayed persistent and broke a few big gains. Do you know how annoying it is to have to stop the run every play or even just think that it might be coming. Too many players would have abandoned it but with my 3 pronged attack, I knew something good would come!

Do you have a running strategy? Are you too quick to abandon the run game?

MadDen 11 TV – Show #16 – Carolina Panthers Guide

Sgibs — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:30:02 +0000

Sgibs is back to continue with Part 2 of the Full Carolina Panthers breakdown. Show #15 talked about the Panthers backfield and the best ways to utilize what is considered the most dangerous in the entire game! Today’s show will focus soley on the passing attack and how you will want to utlize the pieces to this confusing puzzle!

Ever wonder who should be your number two wide out on the Panthers? Should it be Armani Edwards? Should it be Mike Goodson? Sgibs gives you the insight on who he likes to compliment Steve Smith in the passing game!

The TE’s for the Carolina Panthers are nothing to write home about but, we must find a way to utilize them. Find out why Jeff King is going to be a player you want on the field on those big 3rd down conversions.

The Panthers offensive playbook has a few unique plays that no other books have in the entire game. Singleback 4 Wide WR Screen is one of the most dangerous plays in the entire game. Check out how Sgibs sets this play up and learn the secrets of how master the undercenter spread offense!

Have you utlitzed the singleback 4 wide spread in your scheme?

Fun Fact Trivia- Who has the highest CIT on the Panthers in Madden 11?

Breaking down the power run and quick hitting formation in the Carolina Panthers Playbook!

How will the Panthers fare this season in a pretty stong NFC South including the SB Champion Saints and the Atlanta Falcons? ZFarls LOVED the Panthers last year but they got out to a slow start. He likes Matt Moore but not enough for the Panthers to win more then 9 games. The running game is solid along with head coach John Fox. Will the loss of Julius Peppers kill an already average defense? What do you think?
