[quote name='m3gatr0nx']I've had some success running up the middle. Not any big runs...but I've gotten some gains in the 8 yard range or so a number of times. Usually out of the I-form and just follow your lead blocker. Don't hit the sprint until you get to the hole...and use the right stick to try to power through. Also I try and flip the play if the D is overloaded on one side...I'll flip it to the weaker side at the line of scrimmage. It can be effective if you mix it in.
As far as the "cheesers" -- agreed...it's really really annoying. This is why I try not to play just random people online, who go for every 4th down, run the hurry up offense all game, and then when they fall behind quit or disconnect -- even on *unranked* games. Go figure.
I try to stick to playing people I know or people from groups like CAG who at least try to play the game like a true football game.
Feel free to add me up, while I'm not the greatest player, I play fair and play to have fun. My PSN is funkydb[/QUOTE]
now... Madden strategy, I've played guys who've used the hurry up offense. But how do you stop it... How does one change the pay without having to call timeout... Press pause and change your Audibles to the play (or Plays) that you need to stop the play (or plays) that your opponent is using during the hurry up. The problem is that people aren't prepared with their audibles when they face an opponent whose using audibles. Now if your defense gets tired, during the non huddle offense attack then you should call timeout. However if there's a pay that you need to call and you don't have it in your audible set, pause the game and add what you need.
Honestlly, most of the time, whenever you see someone changing their play, I don't change my play. Most of time they're just doing that to make you nervous. When you pick your play you're just trying to ensure that the matchups are right. 3 linbakcers vs 4 WRs is always a bad choice. So if you in nickel and they start audibles, don' t change leave it right there, and there ans see how it goes.
