Some guys try to play the game without thinking. I don't begrudge anyone using a "scheme" or general approach borrowed from a pro player or content creator, but you have to adapt that scheme in-game in order to become a good player. If you run one specific defense and a guy starts torching you, you need to be able to adjust. I just played a guy who was running 3-3-5 Wide, but switching between Cover 2, Mike Blitz 3, Mike Blitz 0, and even an occasional Cover 4 to throw me off. It was tough for me for the first half of the game, but I started reading his tells and realizing he was sometimes dropping 9 into coverage. So I started putting my TE on a little curl in the middle of the field, rolling out and throwing back to him. Then, when I knew he'd user that, I had a Texas route to my HB coming in behind that curl. I threw the game-winning TD to that Texas route.
It's not about borrowed schemes, my man, it's about how you use them. If you can adapt, you'll be a good Madden player. If you can't, you won't, no matter how good a "scheme" you have.
