Madden on x-box

[Mr_Madtown]

I need help guys... Anyone who has Madden experience on x-box. I am in a huge tourney (64 people) (2 leagues all guys drafted) I have my offense down phat, but my defense is another story. What are the best defenses agianst offensive formations? I will take offensive advice also, Im looking for every advantage I can get.

This is what I have learned from personal experiance:

((2 WR set = 4-3))...(( 3 WR set = Nickel))....(( 4 WR set = Dime))....(( 5 WR set= Quarter.))

If he throws a lot of screens or Flat passes = Cover 2

I also like to use Cover 2 agianst the run

All predicted slants = Jam Defense (anything else?, I get burnt on 3 and shorts with slants)

Because this league has no rules you can blitz your LB on every play so I need to find a better way to Pick him up so I have time on the pass, There is no way in hell I can run play action with this Dam LB blitz that my first round oppent likes to run.

screen passes work 10 times better on this years game. throw screens where the blitz is coming from, he will quit.

do a 3-3-5 nickle, that shit is mean, stops all short stuff and has the best personel on the field for if he tries to spread it out. Also 4-6 is a good D to stop the short stuff. I have been known to dominate the teens online in Madden.

nice draft so far. you might wanna grab a corner soon.

i dont like that draft so far, the key in Madden is to stock on offensive line early and often. I am talking 3 in first 5 rounds. Never take a RB that early

If I went onto Limewire do you think I could get the soundtrack to the game???
There is a song that has 'hustles coming down...' in the lyrics... 'in your head is a bleeping target' talks about the army and navy...
Just wondering...
