yeah hes not bad
but i cant deal with a lefthanded qb. bc when he drops back its harder for him to turn to coles or cooley who are usually on the right side. It still leaves you gardner but gardner is not nearly as fast as coles
so i like ramsey better

I play ESPN online. I'm 12-11 in W-L. Always use the Skins.

As for madden I always lose online with the skins because I suck at Defense in Madden.

Hey washington, you can flip the play, does that then put Coles and Cool

ey on the opposite side? You should try it.

As far as defense goes CP, my favortie play is the Fire Blitz. It will work 3 out of 4 times on a possesion. I am actually learning alot playing Madden, I love football but I never really understood the plays or each man's role in the play until I started playing this game.

Defense is all good for me until 3rd down...then my CB falls down and the guy gets and 80 yard completion. My problem on defense is I take control of the DT and I try to rush the quarterback, and in ESPN you can hold X to increase the power of your rush, and in Madden you can't do that, so instead of power rushing, I switch to the next player. :roll:

Also when I try to intercept, they have a habit of just tipping it, instead of getting key interceptions that could win me some games. :evil:

Well I run the ball down people's throats with Portis and Betts. I also made a bunch of H-Back packages to get Cool

ey everywhere, FB, TE and WR. I just love playing defense and on Madden you can power rush, cause I do it with Griffin all the time. Swapping down pashing is good and always trying for int. will get you burned.

Flipping the play only flips the routes and keeps the WR's on the same side...if does however bring Cool

ey over. You can try just bringing in a different package...works great to expose mis-matches.
Anyways, I use the 'Skins and the Titans 50-50. With the 'Skins its all about Portis and Coles. Once had Coles at 3 REC for like 220, and 3 TD's. He is 99 SPD and insane ACC, which is key. With the Titans its all about 24 Titan Blast or 5 WIDE in single back.

See I find consistancy with McCants. Coles is good but for some reason McCants seems better. And it so unrealistic, Gardener doesn't drop the ball at all. LOL
