The Art Of One Play

For some gamers who actually know how to call more than one play from their playbook Madden online seems to have hundreds of losers that do two things. Call the same offensive play over and over, and the same defensive play on EVERY play. While some gamers would say this makes beating these tools easier I disagree. It's not a matter of whether or not you beat them. You're stuck in a game with someone with the intellectual equivalent of a hamster for 45 minutes. As the person who plays someone like this you have to do two things. One, don't let them get a lead, and two use every second on the clock and get your first downs. This deters them from thinking they'll just win by glitching you later in the game.

What I've found is that if you get up more than 10 points on these people you will either get your win, they'll quit, or you'll get end gamed for your trouble. I played someone today that used the redskins and did nothing but two plays. Counter left from Portis and bomb to Moss. That was it. No matter if I called a prevent or not Moss seemed to be on the juice and just ran past 4 guys each time. I can't defend this no matter what I call. All I can do is muddle through the game and try to get ahead but in the back of my mind I know that no matter how well I play I'll never truly get ahead if I can't stop a bomb with 4 guys defending a deep zone. The setback is that if you let one of these scrubs get up on you they will stay back in prevent for the rest of the game. From the 1st quarter on. In real life, you should be able to run for 15 yards every play without being touched. But somehow the redskin's linebackers took on speed and caught Westbrook every time. Maybe this had something to do with the excessive pause this guy called at the start of the game.

Worse yet people that play this way actually THINK they are good.

A good majority of these guys are also holders of records without losses.

At any rate, that's my rant for the day. Stay tuned to my next post which will highlight one of the gayest teams on Madden.

See you on the field.
