Yes the main thing I think about after a huge win is, WHAT ARE OUR RATINGS IN MADDEN NOW???  But yes they should go way up on the defensive side of the ball.

I'm not sure whether you're being sarcastic or not.  But I actually do think about that.....and get excited about the thought.  Considering we all dropped 60 bones on that game and we want our team to be good on it.

Yes being sarcastic.  But being serious that I think the defense will get a boost in ratings and the team will be 80+.  They are 6-3.  If they aren't, whoever does the rankings is either a 49ers fan or just an idiot.

i wish i could get the D to play how they play in real life on the game. doesnt happen though. its hard to get pressure on this new Madden. its like everybody has an amazing oline

The trick is to use individual adjustments on the Dline.  I get a ton of coverage sacks on that game.  Especially since opponents seem to pick teams with running qbs.   Just spy the DE on the qb's dominant side and slide the opposite DE to the flat.   Every time the opposing qb tries to move outside the pocket you suffocate them. You'll give up 3 to 5 yards a carry if they run, but they don't beat running the ball the whole game plus the more they run...bigger chances of a fumble.  This strategy is especially effect in goal line defense.  

 

After the offense get's used to seeing a spy and linemen dropping into coverage, then you set them up with the blitz.  Sort of like play action for the defensive front 7.

Pocket Qb's actually are a bit easier.  When you're making individual Dline adjustments you can still keep one DE as a spy.  This protects the short middle while still providing support on outside runs.   Then you can either rush the opposite DE, or (what I prefer) drop the opposite DE into a middle zone to protect the area that was vacated by the middle linebacker.  I've gotten so many interceptions this way because the opponent wasn't expecting see DE's drop back in coverage.   This strategy works mainly for 4-3 defenses because the DE's are more athletic at least according to Madden.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By frankw · Posted

      Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.

      Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
