Best Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 47 minutes ago, Keyser_Soze said: I generally run formations with man coverage and blitzes. If the linebacker blitzes I control them, or if there is a spy I control the spy (sometimes) Then when I get ahead then I just run dime formations because I know they're going to pass a lot. This game has the road to glory mode, if you make a defensive player for that mode it could be good practice for defense. Very informative 👏 18 minutes ago, Biggie said: I’m always the free safety on first and second downs. Keep everything in front of me and let my 10 teammates do the grunt work. On third down if it’s an obvious passing down I’ll use the left or right defensive end depending on what side the running back is on. I’ll go opposite of the RB side because usually he is going to help pick up pressure or blitz’s. I see. This is good advice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 Also if you have a crazy good Defensive lineman you could control him, because he would bust through the line easily. Basically I like to force the QB to throw faster than he usually does by breaking through the line. The CPU usually makes miracle throws though.

Paperclyp Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I like to play the line unless I’m blitzing or spying. Then I’ll play whoever is blitzing or spying. Putting me in control of a CB is just begging for a touchdown pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I was driving yesterday and two guys on the radio were talking about this coming out. The one guy and people in his friend circle are buying PS5’s just for this game. It’s been a while since I remember a game really being a system seller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might start over anyhow instead of carrying it over. Now that I have a better understanding how recruiting works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 The game is far from perfect. I actually think it has a lot of problems. But all it needed to do was be competent, and they did it. I’d says it’s like a 7.5-8 game, which is great! It’s all I wanted. And I think they can make it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 1 hour ago, Biggie said: A lot? If you think this has a lot of problems just wait for Star Wars Outlaws lol Yeah like a lot of little things. It seems a bit rushed. For example, I put the camera in wide view last night and when you do that the audible stuff doesn’t show on screen. Or the aforementioned simulated games giving crazy results, or like you can see a lot of the typical silly madden glitches that show up - a guy was out for his career for a strained back. I’ve heard recruiting can get quite wonky and messed up late in season. I think it’s a good game, but I think it’s been so long that some of these reviews are so happy to have a good game they’re overlooking some stuff. At the same time like I found IGN’s review to be overly nit picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I love recruiting in this game! It’s fun to just sink time into it and try to get the players you really want to improve your team. Just got my first verbal commitment. A 6”2. 302 pound right guard. Dude is gonna be a beast. Let’s goooo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read that review if you can call it that. What a weird guy. He doesn't like that there are no tutorials, or that there ARE tutorials but they are in CUT. Then complains about the skill challenges to get the best score you have to be perfect (well duh) and he hasn't played Dynasty mode and says the game is bare bones.

Best Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I'm not understanding the scores so far. The reviews are praising it yet it gets an 8/10. That certainly isn't bad by any means but the scores and reviews aren't lining up imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
