The C with all day and pass block elite (I put identifier also) has helped me for over a month and made much easier to throw within the game.
Every year people will lab and find what they can exploit in the new madden. Rinse and repeat every year.
It’s the same every year. Shows you how broken the game engine is that the nano detection doesn’t actually get linemen to block blitzers it just means free blitzers get past the linemen stop and stand still rather than finishing the sack
The Frostbite engine was made by EA Sweden specifically for storyboard modes like Longshot and FOTF. Apologists will say Madden it is a "fantasy" game. Realists will say remember when John Madden wouldn't sign off until it was as close to reality as possible.
When Rex said fixing gameplay was not cost effective as he walked out the door, that was the key point in everything EA/EA Orlando has done in the 2 years since.

Adjust the ai for linemen. Biggest issue is instant sheds and unblocked guys. Oline isn't fancy while de are so more animations were given to them. Even out the ai or give more to oline. A sack here and there is expected but having your oline stand there doing nothing isn't.
Yeah it's ridiculous. I played some guy that couldn't stop my first two drives, so he began to send an unstoppable blitz out of midblitz I hadn't seen. Of course, he had a good user and had two guys going free every time. It was infuriating.
Of course on offense he had Human Joystick Payton and just swerved through my defense for 5 yards a pop. Game was still winnable (he went up 21-14 in the second half), but I just quit out. Not worth the headache.
If EA just puts a decent screen in this game it will slow it down
^This. EA needs to give us counters that will punish guys who just exploit poor coding in the game. Sure you can block 7 or 8 every play and throw Hitches, Outs, and the occasional Slant (if you want to tempt their user)... but who wants to play full games like this? I'm a pocket passer... and although I can run HB Stretch as effectively as most players... what I really enjoy is reading zone defenses and calling various route combinations to beat them for long gains. The game becomes very boring when the other guy just wants to Blitz All LBs plus one or two Safeties.
The funny thing is... they think they're "good".
This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The real world counter to 7-8 man blitzes is screens. In this game you can beat blitz but it has to be to the outside as throwing to the middle could get you burned if the guy has a decent user.
However, the screen game is so slow to develop and often times the idiot RB runs right into the blitzes so can't set-up.
This BS is infuriating
I would say, in 3 games this morning where I fast all out blitz competition I found that I had great success in the ACE formation. Why? Well I had 7 on the line of scrimmage and they manned up on the rushers. and I just ran the ball. I went 2-1 using this approach. The one I lost, EA had it in for me.

16 weekend league games. 15 games where they sent 7/8 every time. Good lord some of these kids are insane. 12-4 so far. Idk if I can go through 9 more games of it. I can deal with it when it makes sense but man it’s just so boring.
I just don’t see how EA will address it. With the ability to line up 9 guys on the LOS likely returning in some capacity I just can see guys going right back to it come August.
What you guys think?
