Madden 16

Kind of wish they still made Madden for PC.

My complaint with Madden online has very little to do with the game, more to do with the fact that people draw up ebooks of money plays and schemes that beat any defense because of flaws in the game. It's a game, and sure I could do it, but I like to try to play football. I'm going to run all game and maybe throw 20 passes, if that. No glitchy routes, nothing that the right call on defense can't beat. But in reality, quarters defense should never stop inside runs...and yet people do, with consistency. Taking advantage of game flaws ruins this game online.

 

I honestly believe if people played a true simulation style game against me, I'm either going to win or it's going to be a tight game. But it's an arcade game, not a simulator, so that won't happen often.

imo the cheesiest strategies involve running the ball the majority of the time.

Only if you find a specific running play that for whatever reason can't be defended no matter what you call. I've had plenty of players force me out of my gameplan and into passing more. I don't spam the same run out of the same formation. For the most part, i change formation each play. I show you what I'm gonna do early on and dare you to stop it. That's literally football. My pass/run ratio is like 53/47 currently (because I got into the habit early where I never ran).

 

When I say cheese plays, I mean money plays that work 90% of the time, regardless of the defense. Like running drags all game. Or chucking deep balls and aggressive catching to take advantage of a broken system in the game. That kind of stuff.

i know what you're saying, but all the cheesers i've come across always run the hurry up and cycle between a few run plays and for whatever reason it is impossible to stop.

I see this a lot with GB players. It's annoying.
