Quote from habitu >> Top 15 my ass BTW. Anybody worth a damn knows how to slap that defense around the park. Odds are you run deep crossers all game and hb wheel. Before that it was fake screen wheel for you huh? No talent and a liar. No bueno I’ve went 22-3 multiple times and finished 11th and 13th the last two weeks on Xbox. I’m no liar and I promise you wouldn’t have smacked my 335 odd around if top 50 players couldn’t score more than 10. I’m not into these shit talking contests you guys like to play on here. I’m sure you’re good at the game but I’m also sure I can hold my own against anyone. None of that changes the fact that this patch closed the skill gap quite a bit and gives bums a chance.

Quote from Ducati0307 >> Quote from samiam5211 >> Watching a video and following instructions is not skill. 100% agreed! I 100% agree too. That’s why players that play like that with 1 setup get torched by good players. Skill gap.

Quote from markweezy82 >> lol, I run 4-3 with hardly any adjustments and i dont think i have given up more than 3 TDs once this year Not trying to be a dick but I’m 100% sure I could put up 3 tds in 1 half on a non adjusted 4-3.

Quote from jaybird13 >> There should be no one defense that shuts down the pass and the run when you set it up the same. That blitz was the opposite of skill gap.  You are correct but I promise you that 335 odd set up 1 way has multiple counters. Maybe you didn’t find them but good players do. That’s a skill gap. You had to change your setups on 335 odd every single play to beat top players but it gave you a chance to stop them. Now no chance in hell.

Quote from bohica007 >> Lol you mad cause you can’t win unless you run your YouTube plays? Don’t worry bud one of these you tubers will have a nano blitz for you in no time. What’s sad is people make comments like this when I would probably beat you with 3-4 odd barely trying....like I said if you run YouTube plays it’s easy to beat. It was only the truly skillful getting top 25 with 335 odd. Believe me I’ve actually played a lot of these guys a lot! A lot of these guys are only happy because now they have a slight chance against players that are better than them. Nobody wants to get good at the game everyone just wants patches to help them out.

Quote from DeuceQuattro >> I’ve never run 335 or 335 odd or big Nickel G & I have at least a dozen 5-6 man set-ups that get solid pressure & don’t include crossfire or contain or hovering.  Sorry you lost your go-to scheme, OP, but there are other formations & blitzes that work consistently. I have a lot of those set ups too but the sad fact is that any good user and beat them too easy because of the set ups they require. Most require base align, show blitz, or press. Any good offensive player knows that if someone base aligns they are dead, if someone shows blitz or presses they are dead....too easy to counter those. I’ve been playing since madden 04 and I just want a balanced game. This game was close before this. Now it’s all offense just like at launch.

Quote from Jaydeetron >> If you want to rush 6 players, you wouldn't have 2/6 players you want to rush playing a contain. That's what they fixed about 3-3-5. Hence, if you want to rush 6 players, pick a play where 6/6 players you want to rush are blitzing and not one of them is playing contain. It's hard to adjust to because we are used to QB contain being a blitz... now it serves other purposes that we will have to practice with to fully discover. Not that big of a deal, but it's like having a LB in a hook zone and being outraged that he's not getting pressure on the QB... just not the play to call for the LB if you want pressure out of him.   Edit: just to clarify, I'm not meaning to sound like a jerk. I just think EA should be heard out on why they addressed this issue. If you didn't get a chance to watch the stream, watch it--I think they gave a pretty good explanation there.

Let me clarify that I’m fine with removing 335 odd like they did but something needs to be buffed on defense to balance the game. Defensive users need a chance to get pressure and confuse the offense!

Quote from EPS1234 >> Quote from Ryanp4 >> You’re all very misinformed. It was in no way a glitch and if you only knew it from YouTube you get torched by guys like me who knew quick dots. If you ID the mike in the nose tackle it picks up the looper unless the defense sends 6 (which should get home!!!!!!) now your guy stands there useless. A good player such as myself could desquise his coverage behind the 5-6 man blitz to confuse the offense. Now there is no counter to a good offensive user....just wait guys you’ll love these 50-49 games of no skill. The pass rush needs to be turned to aggressive for every formation to balance this out. The amount of time in the pocket was already extremely unrealistic.

Quote from samiam5211 >> You think everyone who doesn’t run your defense gives up 40+ a game? Yes and my reasoning is that I’ve played 300+ multiplayer games and anyone that runs a stock defense I will put up 40 on easy. Sometimes by half. Not being cocky but the stock pass rush and coverage are so trash against a decent offensive user. Defense needs a buff not a nerf.
