Madden 25 Gameplay
Can we do something about this horrific gameplay? Online H2H is full of mid blitz players with all top cards so no one can get open in time. My CPU players never drop into the right zone no matter what I call. I have them covering an area and they run across the field every time someone calls crossing routes. If you’re not going online to buy playbooks from streamers then you do not have a chance to compete. I wish you would penalize players who run the same blitz all game with no adjustments because they have all the advantage. Take mid blitz out until you figure it out. That’s the only defense that ever stops me. I am still missing my rookie premiere which is infuriating because I play people who have all of theirs and it’s been two and half weeks with no updates about how ONE defense that’s overran is not being nerfed. It infuriates the average player because there is no variety or CPU IQ. If a team in the NFL ran the same defensive play over and over they would have no chance in a real game. What’s the point of making a football simulation game if all you have to do is run the same play over and over.
It seems you play MUT, because you mentioned cards... But I've been running my offense from under center in Regs since Madden 2003, so I've seen every variation of A-Gap blitzes you can think of. What I can say is that they are simple and easy to block, and if you do, you'll score a TD on almost every 3rd snap. There are so many ways to block A-Gap heat that there's literally no excuse for Mid Blitz working consistently...
- Block a FB and drop directly behind him
- Motion a TE and snap the ball when he's in the A-Gap
- Sprint behind the tackle and move the pocket
I have a list of about 10-15 more little counters that work against A-Gap heat. I interchange them so my opponents can't draw a bead on what I'm doing and therefore can't find a counter other than abandoning the blitz altogether.
While I don't play MUT, I'm sure these strategic tactics will work... After all, I haven't run a combined 10 plays from shotgun in 20+ years...
