Sooo, How do you stop Star WRs? I just played against the Giants and ODB killed me no matter the defense, double team, If I controlled the Corner..
How did EA not think this would break the game?
Your 2k comparison is off because you can't hit contested shots like that in 2K... So as long as your defense is good, you can contain Curry.
I did everything in my will to just stop ODB and dude had 300 Receiving yards and 5TD( he threw to him every single play)
You have way more control and effect on the defensive outcome in 2k vs Madden
You gotta play it like real football.
Again. In real life, he was shytting on teams defense by the week
So how do you beat that? Keep them off the field. Slow down your pace. Win on time of possession.
What's the weakness of the Giants offense? QB and oline
Manning is an 81. The LT is a 76. The RG is a 73. The RT is a 70
So blitz on the right side all fukking day. Eli also got a carry rating of a fukking 51. So he's going to fumble all day long. That or throw ints
As for covering odb.... If you are rushing on those weak ass lineman, Eli is going to be throwing the football out fast. On quick routes you want to jam the wr. That'll make him take a few extra seconds to get open, while you hitting Eli who doesn't have time to wait for that
Keep your safety over top in case they pick up the blitz and that jamming leaves you wide open deep. But manning deep throw is only 83 so that should be inaccurate too
That's what I mean when I say play it for real. shyt you got plays where you can pull the coverage to one side. The entire coverage.
But yes you have to game plan. You got to see what lineups he's running before you pick your defense. You gotta scroll through player ratings on the other team and see what weakness to exploit.
That's why they let you view their formation and depth charts. Cause in real life you'd see that info too. And you'd plan for it. And you'd spend a week trying to stop that.
And after all that planning. He'd still be second in the league. If they ain't stopping him in real life..... Well
