    This happens to me every week. So I do offline offline franchise.

    I just play exhibition games of every Dolphins weekly match-up the Saturday before the game. With the most recent rosters.

    Well I'm only on week 3, and I think the increases in the overall starters ratings will be worth it.


    No franchise restarts after this though. :shifty:

    LOL @ Ray Lewis's hit power increased from 96 to 98.

    Just make a "crippling hit" rating.

    I like that in one week they realized "You know what Brandon Marshall really deserves a higher carry rating."

    they either put marshall's face in the game or got it to look allot closer to him. It bothered me how it looked nothing like him and he was a top 5 wr.

    anyone encounter any cheeser bitzers online? I mean it was ridiculous... willis untouched every time. I couldn't even hand the ball off, Ronnie and Ricky were hit as soon as they got it. Yes, I sorta got around it with hitting Fasano across the middle but that was even a workout to have time to throw. Came up short when Marshall fumbled it in the open field with no one around him when I dove to run out the clock late in the game. That had me fumed to say the least.

    When I encounter this, I try to exploit it if I can.

    For instance. Use a package substitution to bring in Ricky at HB and slide Ronnie over to FB.

    Pick a playaction "FB Flat" from Iform Twin WR formation.

    When lining up hotroute the HB to go to the opposite side of the field that you are sending Ronnie(the FB) to. What this does is essentially remove the playaction part of the play, but IMO i think the play still freezes the AI slightly despite this change.

    Anyway, unless he is in a dime-Quarter man coverage(which I doubt considering hes NANO blitzing..) it is incredibly difficult to stop Ronnie from gaining chunk yards in the flat or possibly it even being a huge TD. There is ways to stop this play, dont get me wrong - but I have found it to be a really troublesome venture for people blowing up your LOS to stop it without heavily altering their plans.

    As you mentioned, hitting someone over the middle can blow this up as well, so I generally try to mix it up between the middle of the field and hitting ronnie out there in the flat as a FB. The last time this happened the guy ended up giving up on cheese blitzing all together and somehow I managed to sneak out a win in the final moments.

    They increase/decrease the ratings of 5-10 players per team on a weekly basis.

    Oh well. Glad they're keeping it active actually. Just saying....

    Damn. Now Cameron Wake is going to be a 90+ for me (I play him at LE)

    I agree. Vontae Davis deserves a boost into the 90s. No CB in the league is playing as good as he has as far as locking guys down.

    Speaking of Cb's with hit power. Does it anger anyone else that Vontae's tackling and hit power are so low?

    I agree with you on the HP, but I cant recall having people break tackles against him too often tbh. Maybe its his STR that make up the difference, which iirc is significantly higher than most CB.

    Have all the NFL refs in the game, with their own ratings. If you end up having Ed Hochilu or the **** up who called the Steelers game, well, bad calls will be made. It would make the game that much more realistic since the NFL is fixed, so have the refs fixing games in Madden.

    I always try using the hit stick on the QB, even if a tad late. :lol:

    The game rarely ever calls a late hit, but its not worth it(it can be called sometimes), as I've yet to injure the QB during a play like that even 1 time.
