That’s why you should be going up against the CPU. His gameplay demos were against the CPU and not a human, right?

Hey first of all THANKS for all the content!! I have a great recommendation. ON the play description it would be nice if you put if it was a “BLITZ” or a “COVERAGE” or “HYBRID” play.. Let me know what you think. Again you guys are awesome!!!

Ian, I see that you run 34 odd mostly. How often are you running the blitz vs coverage in a game? Also, who would you recommend on the defensive line in 34 odd salary cap?

Lol, no I haven’t played you, I saw that you mentioned 34 as your preferred defense in another post. I do like the setup you explained and will try that setup

Are these designed more for cpu or user? They’ve worked great in practice mode but in game on all madden they have rarely brought immediate pressure for me so far
