I have Mankins, Waters, Thuney fully upgraded. Only Mankins has secondary position, and he's at LT. So I have waters and thuney taking my two LG spots- would love to get RG on one of them...

I saw that as well- I have fully upgraded Waters but do not see an option for secondary chem. What am i missing there?

Running Patriots. Unfortunately there are too many positions they are pretty weak at at this point in the game. In addition to Kittle and Donald, I have Holt and Shazier. Tillman at SS and Buckner at DT as well due to some pretty weak options, and only one patriot FB. I will just have to sacrifice chems on somebody until I get some upgrades.

If you run 99 man, leave the corners 5-10 yards off, align straight up (base or do it manually if you must), and let the 99 man do the work- my 99 fully PU Gilmore basically runs the WR route and shuts almost anything down. If you press or out of position with a slower CB, man doesnt matter they aren't catching up, even Gilmore. Speed is much more forgiving.

Is there a list of the passes we received? That way if I know I got and used 2 91-92 passes, I can assume I bought the other 91-92's in my power ups.

In for answers, I think you are right

This is clearly the answer. If things are run consecutively, or maybe more than X times per half/game, the defense starts getting significantly smarter.

This. I haven't tried any new TB, but tried some others like TOTY/Honors at LE over my NFL100 Reggie (PU). He seems to make the most plays on my line- ESPECIALLY IN THE RUN, despite being the lowest OVR on my Defense (Got chem'd 99 Donald and Buckner with 99 FNM at the other 2 spots). At this point, I gave up trying others and am just going to wait for his UL.

One other tip I go to frequently, especially in short yardage or goal line situations. I have Kittle PU with a lot of route running specialties. If they are pressing and blitzing so hard that you cant get a release, get a good TE and run them on out routes off the line, isolate them on a side if you have to. If they are doing the all out blitz/press cheese with great corners, there is still virtually no safety or linebacker who can guard a good TE on a quick man beating route. Ill do the same thing bringing in an extra tackle and juszczyk to block, and sneak the TE out.

Quote from maddenmagik >> Quote from bswirl44 >> I have PU Michael Thomas and Hardman at WR 1-2 (swapping for Hill asap). I run hardman on a streak, drag or wheel depending on coverage, Thomas on a classic man beater like deep in. If they blitz, max protect and let Hardman and Thomas do their thing. Point is get a speed guy who cant stay covered on a speed route and a RR w/release with the same logic. I have Kittle, and an extra tackle (backup TE) and juszczyk backup RB to sub in for the protection for that reason.
