Yes the main thing I think about after a huge win is, WHAT ARE OUR RATINGS IN MADDEN NOW???  But yes they should go way up on the defensive side of the ball.

I'm not sure whether you're being sarcastic or not.  But I actually do think about that.....and get excited about the thought.  Considering we all dropped 60 bones on that game and we want our team to be good on it.

Yes being sarcastic.  But being serious that I think the defense will get a boost in ratings and the team will be 80+.  They are 6-3.  If they aren't, whoever does the rankings is either a 49ers fan or just an idiot.

i wish i could get the D to play how they play in real life on the game. doesnt happen though. its hard to get pressure on this new Madden. its like everybody has an amazing oline

The trick is to use individual adjustments on the Dline.  I get a ton of coverage sacks on that game.  Especially since opponents seem to pick teams with running qbs.   Just spy the DE on the qb's dominant side and slide the opposite DE to the flat.   Every time the opposing qb tries to move outside the pocket you suffocate them. You'll give up 3 to 5 yards a carry if they run, but they don't beat running the ball the whole game plus the more they run...bigger chances of a fumble.  This strategy is especially effect in goal line defense.  

 

After the offense get's used to seeing a spy and linemen dropping into coverage, then you set them up with the blitz.  Sort of like play action for the defensive front 7.

Pocket Qb's actually are a bit easier.  When you're making individual Dline adjustments you can still keep one DE as a spy.  This protects the short middle while still providing support on outside runs.   Then you can either rush the opposite DE, or (what I prefer) drop the opposite DE into a middle zone to protect the area that was vacated by the middle linebacker.  I've gotten so many interceptions this way because the opponent wasn't expecting see DE's drop back in coverage.   This strategy works mainly for 4-3 defenses because the DE's are more athletic at least according to Madden.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
