Rule question and/or discussion...

Post by cougnix »

So, I don't play NCAA very much, but with the combination of NCAA and Madden I was wondering if there is any consideration to changing the motion rule. There are a couple reasons why and I'll be brief, but want to see what you all think.

In NCAA and Madden, press coverage and bump and run gives the advantage to the defense, and EA has not figured out, that a pretty skilled WR can beat that every once in awhile if not all the time. You run press, I'm throwing a slant that is thrown right now and the DB can't hold and throw the receiver like the animation usually does. One way to beat press and bump coverage is to send guys in motion and snap the ball when they are at different locations in the formation. It used to be that the motion player would still go in a route inside the tackles, but I'm pretty sure they stay and block now and don't go into a route. I know there are motion plays, but they don't snap where I want them to be all the time, I don't remember any of the motion pass plays that send the receiver all the way across the formation and get in the flat now. Just thoughts in my head, what's your thought?

I don't know, I find that good WRs can and do kill a press very often.

I don't make the rules but I think changing the rule is out of the question. Even this is supposed to be a league that's based on fairness and straight gameplay, there are those can and will find a way to gain an advantage be snapping the ball when the motion man is at a certain spot in his movement.

+1. Also the bigger wrs beat BnR pretty regularly from my experience.

yeah, on this version bnr is neccesary for any decent occasional coverage but its not overdone and can be beat unlike last year

its a non issue this year imo but if anyone finds themselves using it more times than not or always combined with slot blitzes or some other repetitive "scheme", than they should take a step back and review moderation and keep in mind playing "fun" games and the idea behin why we make coaching reports 40% of your season ending score
