U can get out if u have good pocket awareness, I thought I could thread the needle a lil to much, and he recovered perfect on it, I looked at my first read, and DT was my 2nd I believe in his arm a lil to much

I faced KC last year and some guy's Alex Smith manoeuvred out of a crowded pocket into open spce on some shyt. Meanwhile I sometimes try to step up and run into a DT or DE lane. When things aren't open I scramble outside the pocket. Do you have tips on pocket awareness?

first thing that helps u is knowing where the blitz is coming from, alot of time i will view the blitz or a dominate player on the end and make sure im protected, alot of time i will hot route my RB to block, so if i tell my rb to block ill slide my lil to the opposite slide to so the rb and tackle can double block one person and everybody is picked up

second if mostly like i feel the pressure coming and know when i holding it to long

but for sure they slowed pocket passers down and made it much harder to run,but as long as u can get around the pressure u good

I have trouble reading the blitz unless it's obvious, like when too many guys are on the line or one side is overloaded with extra rushers. Then I'll casually put the RB to block for extra protection and hot route. However I still can't step out of a crowded pocket -- and that's what I want to learn how to do. There are players that sit in the pocket, go through progressions and step forward into open lanes. This is what the Alex Smith user did. He rolled into a crowded pocket with subtle moves without getting sacked.

You bought this on Xbox one? Why?

A few guys at work have Xbox Ones and we occasionally play together. Besides I like my Xbox One. This is the perfect game to get on it. Doesn't demand top of the line hardware and looks great on it. No 1080p 60fps issues with this.

The coin flip?

The coin flip?

It's in overtime, don't honestly miss is that much

 

[winb83]

The coin flip?

yeah I been wondering cause I played a few game and the home team always received. I used to always elect to kick. I just wish the whole game was like that intro I lost at the 1 yard line on a stuff as the clock expired on 4th down.

 

[Made Man]

The coin toss is in one of the option menu's. I forgot which one, but you can tell it whether to kick or receive if you win the toss. It's simulated.

Edit- it's in league settings in CFM @CrimsonTider , @winb83

Advanced settings at team selction menu

Any of y'all got any suggestions for a good defensive playbook? I'm running with Dallas and the unit is bad ...I'm hoping there are some playbooks that would get the most out of nothing

Love this game I haven't enjoyed a Madden like this probably since 10. Went into two overtimes with my Madden Ultimate League Team. Final score 6-3

I'm a noob and I'm still enjoying the game.

That skills trainer is really good.

I've gotten pretty decent at jumping the snap.

Got a long way to go but I'm not super dooper trash.

Made one guy quit and got another win last night.
