It's DE DE DT DE, and I control the second DE from the left.
The point of my manual defender is to eat up blockers. Which blockers I attack is dependent obviously on the playcall and the situation. I don't like to send blitzers into the same gap that I am trying to occupy with a DL or worse my DL unless it's by design. It causes traffic jams and my defenders get washed in the mess. What I've found myself doing is blitzing, and hitting that same gap with my manual defender, shedding the blocker and trying to pick off the RB if he's staying in to block so that my LB comes in free.
I've always felt like you can just randomly add pieces to an offenses but you need to build a defense with a vision or you'll screw yourself up.
I've gotten a lot better at this, most people snap it so fast though it feels like I'm racing a 3 second clock every snap to make 3-4 adjustments. I usually get a couple snaps a game where I have something ridiculous happen, like making a spy audible and as I hit the right stick they hike it and I do the hit stick animation, lol.

You don't need to make adjustments, jerk.
I'm forced to spy QBs who are probably slower than me on pretty much every play for some reason.
No matter how fast the snap is, you have about 6-7 seconds. As soon as the huddle breaks on D, I am lining up the coverages in Man or some Man/Zone combo that I'm going to build at the line of scrimamge. It definitely feels like less time than that.
I know on offense I usually try and snap right away to minimize the time someone can take to adjust, unless I see something I don't like.
When you're playing Wellie's O, as soon as the huddle breaks he's starting to audible - his QB's are loud, so he's usually probably changing the Oline around, unless he's setting receiver routes without seeing the coverage/personnel.
Yea, I'm sure it's longer than it feels. The old Maddens had zones with man coverage in them, but now I have to this all myself presnap. So if you want to man up both outside WRs, you have to cycle through one side of the field to the other, then make sure you hit the right button on what man to man up. I've had that backfire a couple of times recently...
Only 5 games left!
A->d-pad down->B
A-d-pad down->X
worst part is trying to highlight the corner you want the fastest

Both OL and pretty much on every pass play I have there's a route that I don't like. I hate having throw away routes so I blindly change it.
I know I cant execute like a bunch of the players here so I have to outsmart. It just sucks when you study up to outsmart and the other guy doesn't want to participate. -_-
The buttons can change even if it's on the same side, which I'm assuming has something to do with them flipping a play I guess.

I don't even know what to say. That was the stupidest first half of madden I have ever seen. You had maybe 6 offensive plays? My defenders played dumb and watched a ball sail to Gonzalez for a TD. Another play where I fucked up like a boss and you popped that slant off for a TD. Then the mst ridiculous stuff I have ever seen with Bray Bray not giving a fuck. Also, your amazing int where the safety jumped the curl route from 5 yards behind it lol
And that was the most amazing fumble I have ever seen to end the game. All i could do was laugh

strip button on that last fumble
it's what allowed braylon to score on that td...i caught up to him and tried to strip the ball and he just threw the guy off. way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

I don't even know how that was possible. Scheffler literally caught the ball, made a collision (with no time for an animation of any sort) and threw the ball away to be lost in a sea of my tears.

This thread on the second page of the online forum? Tsk tsk.
What's the word with LM? I have a CB that has 7 ints but he's not listed in the league leaders section when you expand it.

you have an 8 and a 7 int player? Damn.
I thought the Bengals were terrible at generating turnovers?!
Games left:
Bills/Jags
Jets/Phins
Skins/Buccs
Browns/Broncos-apparently being played today
Any chance the other 3 get done tonight?
And if it did, would you double dip Crow?
I have two seven int players and a six.
They're called your quarterbacks.
You've thrown as many interceptions as I have this season.
Have I? Gross. I didn't realize Eli's numbers were that bad this year.
I suppose there's the relief that my numbers are coming with one of the worst rated starting quarterbacks in the league, as opposed to having the best one.
I'm one of the worst rated human opponents in the league, as opposed to one of the best.

Yep!
Two factors:
1) Scheme adjustment for the secondary.
2) My schedule is much different than the last two years in terms of quality of players. No Luke, no FMT, etc.
lol, Gabbert's ratings ARE better than Eli in a lot of categories, amazing.
Yes.
so me1 will still be the best entry. good to set my expectations before going in.
Not for me. ME1 was unplayable. I liked ME2 and just going on from there.
me1 was great. some tech issues, but it was playable.
I really want to go back and play it. The core of the game was fantastic...but space driving. Space driving aggravated me to the point of no return.
the controls weren't that bad and it was better than the "probe launched", "launching probe" crap that replaced it in me2
Loved launching probes.
Into bradys vagina?
ME1 was fun but it had a lot of flaws: inventory system, items, mako driving, and squad tactics.
ME2 was an upgrade on all of those things with a hit on its RPG factors. That sucks but ME2 was definitely awesome. Launching probes was kind of annoying after awhile but hey, the missions on random planets were much better than ME1's. It would be cool if they combined the two like they can have you land on a planet and scrounge for materials WHILE having unique missions.

I'm like 18 hrs into me2 and am still rounding up the squad before going through the omega relay. Most of those 18 hrs have been exploring and mining all of the planets up to this point. I got way more materials than I need and have upgraded everything the game will allow up to this point.
ME was flawed but so good. In me2 I hardly ever give orders to the squad since its really not necessary.

I agree with how useless the resources are after a point. They really should've had some other cool visual upgrades or something. I do like all the squad missions. The game definitely didn't further the plot much but the amount of missions and such was outstanding.
I used squad movements fairly often. Its really nice when they actually move behind cover instead of standing in the open.
The teams that don't generate Turnovers:
Cowboys 9 INTs 4 fumbles
Jags 10 INTs 2 Fumbles (not sure if that's forced or recovered?)
Redskins 12 INTs 4 fumbles
Browns 13 INTs 5 fumbles
Chiefs 15 INTs 3 Fumbles
(Colts 17 INTs 4 fumbles)
Teams that generate turnovers all over the place:
Niners 38 INTs 9 Fumbles
Raiders 30 INts 10 fumbles
Eagles 33 INTs 5 fumbles
Pats 34 INTs 6 fumbles
(steelers 23 INT 11 ff)
In defense of Ram: FMT, Sanjo and CB (almost) have generated as many INTs as Ram's defense has generated turnovers.
