"Here’s the scoop on passing - pick your routes. Until you get the hang of it, pick slant and hook patterns. Pick the receiver before the play. When the receiver makes his cut for the slant or hook, he will usually have inside position on the DB. Pass it as soon as he makes his move or another DB will have time to close in. Once you master these patterns, move to the hitch. Wait patiently for the receiver to hitch (pump fake if you can at this point), then when he makes his move up field hit him on the fly. Fly patterns are the hardest to pull off and the lowest percentage passes. When you want to start practicing hitting these patterns, start by trying to hit your TE on these routes. You can hit him sooner for higher percentage short gains before working your way to bombs to the wide-outs." - TEM

"All pro sure pressure: Pick any 2-man (suggested for coverage reasons) or more blitz play on defense in any 4-3 formation (four lineman, three linebackers) or pick any 3-man blitz play in 3-4 formation. Next, shift your lineman to the side that the blitzers are blitzing to for an overload for sure pressure (blitzers must both be on the same side)." - BiGG P

"lineman move (rookie-all madden): to get by offensive lineman 88% of the time press the R button to swim or rip by the lineman. To make it more efficient rip as soon as you make contact before they can lock-on or else it would be very difficult. Also I usually press the control-stick or pad in the direction of the lineman (if you hit him slightly to the left move the control stick down ( \/ )and diagonally to the right. Success may vary depending on your attribute & your D-lineman." - BiGG P

"Start in a spread formation, then audible to a pass from a split back set. this will put your wide receiver 3 in the fullback spot where he'll have a coverage mismatch.." - Mike Kidd
