Madden 12 Saints PB Strategy

Using a playbook like the New Orleans Saints’ can give you lots of advantages on offense.  Today we are bringing you a madden 12 play out of the Gun Empty Y Saints Formation called Saints Slants that beats both man and zone defenses.  If you mix this play in with your regular scheme, it will be a nightmare to defend.  Watch the video below for instructions on how to run this play effectively.

Let’s break this play down in a little more detail for those of you who didn’t catch everything in the video.

You can see in the screenshot above that versus man to man defense, your tight end will get good seperation allowing you to pick up about 15 yards with room ahead to run.

If your tight end is covered, look over the middle to your running back on the slant route. You can see that all of the other receivers have cleared out of the middle of the field leaving the running back plenty of room to outrun the linebacker covering him.

Against zone defense, you can see that the slot receiver running to the corner has great seperation on the nearest defenders.  Throw the pass when he makes his break to the sideline and continue moving the ball down the field.

Teams like the Packers, Saints and Falcons are great with this play.  You will want a good tight end, a good quarterback, and a few good receivers to run this play at it’s best.

NCAA 12 3-4 Predator Blitz

Getting quick pressure with decent coverage is one of the hardest things to accomplish in any football video game and it is no different in NCAA Football 12.  Usually, you can either bring an all out blitz with awful coverage or you can drop 9 guys into coverage and give the opposing quarterback all day to throw.  Neither of those options will help you win.  The play below features good zone coverage and nice pressure off the edge.

Formation: 3-4 Predator

Play: Cover 6

Setup:

  1. Spread the defensive line
  2. Reblitz the linebacker on the left side of the screen
  3. Take the linebacker in the yellow zone and place him right next to the guy you just reblitzed
  4. Put the defensive end on the right side of the screen in a qb contain
  5. Take the linebacker in the yellow zone and move him to the right side of the screen

3 Most Exciting Players in NCAA 12

One of the biggest weaknesses of the NCAA Football franchise is the inability to implement roster updates throughout the season. In most other sports games, if a player is having an amazing season, it will be reflected in his ratings in the game. So when we break down the 3 most electrifying players in NCAA Football 12 keep in mind that they may not be the most electrifying players in real life.

3. Robert Griffin III – If there were roster updates, he would easily be at #1 overall. The Heisman trophy winner is probably the most electrifying player in college football but that doesn’t give him the crown when it comes to NCAA Football 12. RG3 can do it all but what makes him special is his ability to outrun an entire defense while making it look easy.

2. Jeff Demps – His 99 speed rating makes him easily the fastest player in the game. Unfortunately, the Florida Gators aren’t nearly as good as they have been in past NCAA games so you may not get to use Demps if you want to compete with teams such as Alabama or Oklahoma. Once he gets a step on the defense he is gone.

1. Denard Robinson – Nearly everyone would agree that Denard Robinson is not a top 10 player, but when it comes to the virtual gridiron he is unstoppable. He has good arm strength, passing accuracy and is faster than most running backs and wide receivers. Anyone who has played against Michigan in NCAA 12 knows just how hard it is to slow the guy down. If you come across a good player who is using Michigan, your only hope is to try to knock Robinson out of the game.

Who did we leave off the list that belongs? What other players should be considered for recognition.  Let us know in the comments section.
