Madden NFL 08 - Running The Ball Effectively Part II - Sweep

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

I learned that if you call alot of audibles and play makers that helps alot in confusing the defense and makes it easier to gain like ten yards per run. I like using the panthers, foster is like insane in the game. And so is jones drew with the jaguars. I just call a play maker to the side where it looks like the defense wont close the whole and also where less defenders are that way I can gain more yards. 60 percent of the time, it works everytime.

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

Dude when I play my line never wants to block.

[dnangel104]

@BIGDADDYDUKE2 same i have to reply on my skill to get me my 7 yards

[starwarsjunkie7777]

BACKBREAKER FTW.

[mavsdestroy]

The point of this video was, if your opponent consistantly wants to stack the line and blitz the A gaps for pass rushing and run stopping, use these plays to take advantage.

Obviously don't do it if your opponent starts to CB blitz. but if he does that, you can hit a fade wide open..

This is just an option to take advantage of a tendency, for you to use if you want. If you don't, then it's alright you don't have to bash it..

Thanks for the video.

[chestabaseball24]

pitch runs will never work if you plat against someone who knows football..especially if you pick the saints. If you play against the saints you gotta protect the flats 90% of the time anyways..preventing this

[fazz2052]

Pause at 1.35 there's a massive gap.

This is bull, all these can just be countered using CB blitz.

[HarrisonGoblin18]

So what are you gonna do Blitz them every play... NO cause then they'll pass all day.

[TuriGuiliano100]

@fazz2052 Fine you use that all day, ill audible and throw a long TD

[hypr0040]

A 10 year old can beat a 10 year veteran at this game. That's how fluky the madden series is.

[StupidGopher]

so true, so true

[ravenfanatic684]

This wouldnt work if someone committed to the right side of where Bush was running.

[racegirly101]

gaywad he spined out of bounds

[bandhandman]

this is a bullshit play

it works but whoever you are who made this video you just set up the D so they are blocking the middle of the feild taking advantage of the outside lmao

[jamesfyo123]

but thats the point. he shows you how you can take advantage of the defense when they crowd the middle by going to the outside. hes not telling you to do this with a 3-4 (which would give extra linebackers as opposed to the extra defensive tackle who takes up blocks but doesn't go to the outside) and a cornerback on each side.

[ravenfanatic684]

Id like to see it without the D fakin a blitz. Which doesnt happen that much when I play people.

[PcCouchPotato]

he does that later in the video dumbass

[ravenfanatic684]

I was talking about him using the same formation. Yea he does do it later in the video after choosing a play where its better suiting for a run. dumbass

[ambj219]

Does anyone know how to substitute players in Madden 08? I can only play my preset starters, and there's no way to change roster that I've found.

I'd love to start Reggie Bush instead of McAllister.

Will subscribe to whoever sends me message with answer- thanks!

[lancerfutball]

R u kidding me? well u just hit start and go into like substitutions or something like that. just play w/ the start menu

[fritzvw]

u go to depth chart in the game and click on duece and then reggie and he will start

[frobbit123]

to substitute, pause the game, then go into "depth chart". Then go into wutever position u wanna make a change at, and switch the player u want to the # 1 slot

[ozzyman75]

yeah its in ur start menu cause i subbed Deangelo Williams for Deshaun Foster

[ambj219]

thanks, found the correct sequence of commands to sub while back- strange they don't tell something so simple in Learn Madden or the manual.

[toku30]

i like drew  brees's snap count you know set and set hut reddy blue 95 blue 95 set or set hut

[vinnyvegas18]

i suck at madden lol

[von0756]

i know

[yunstarr502]

i suck on ps3

[yunstarr502]

i suck on ps3

[coachcashmoney]

thanks for all ur help. I noticed that the top players prefer the ATL - J.Mora Jr. offensive playbook. Why do you think so?

[bernicky13]

probably due to the versatility and the option run plays, no other play book offers those. And if you are using ATL, the ATL play book filled with option plays is a force to be reckoned with provided you have Vick AND Dunn

[danny14778]

also alot of PA Qb run plays so if ur facing another person it throws them off alot

[lNyBl]

since vick isn't in the game anymore for obvious reasons... the ATL playbook is best utilized with the vikings using jacksons speed, and adrian :all day" petersons speed and elusivness

[tubetoyoulater]

this is sooooo FAKE. Notice how once the ball was snapped, he moved the RE to the inside. Unless it was a counter, that's unrealistic.

[Airsoft19]

that was a good video but in the 1st example, what was up with that spin move you did out of bounds?

[tmaxxftw]

good vid, tho i run it better then u tell them about the hi light stick and how u can break 20 to 40 yard runs with it i think thats prob like the best part of running a sweep

[meetmetrack]

naw naw yall all got it wrong dis is wat u do start bush as da rb and mcalister as da fullback dat way u hav a good outside runner an inside keeps da D consetive any

[switchboard89]

Why in the heck would they look for the run up the middle from bush????

[zeokenX]

CB blitz shuts that shit down reguardless who the fuck it is,ask Roy Williams on Dallas who got me 7 fumbles and 5 of them for TDs online the other day.XD!

[richhobo101]

who's gonna move their line in against bush?

[raiderssoccer5]

lol he just spun out of bounds for no reason

[LeeHarveyOswald6]

you just suck... really bad....

[bebotbebot]

i always use i formation hb dive.

make the o-line spread,the fb will lead block and its already a first down lol

[jerzeyzballer26]

1:10 the i-form twin tightend hb lead toss... hhahahahahahahahahah fuckin halarious thinkin that everyone knows wut that means

[NickDaPimp26]

wow what a waste of time, I don't need a 2 minute vid to tell me how to run a fucking sweep with Reggie Bush, especially since its not so hard getting another controller to call a bad D play for this time of run. How ever I admire how clear this vid was it looked like it was straight out of my TV, and it was pretty professional.

[illanig]

hit em with a outside run...

[ohnoitsreddog]

Just like you mention it only works when they stack the line. Any regular base defense will automatically nullify a sweep or toss play. The AI is pretty smart and I usually always lose yards on that kind of play unless it's goal line or 46 bear defenses I see. Also, sweeps aren't in the audible packages so you'd have to manually set it to be in there or keep picking sweeps and then audible into other plays if you don't like what defense you see. Then again, I'm playing on ps2.

[libertyi244]

yeah what you said is true if you are playing on all madden sweeps will be useless. best plays that are reliable are curls and PA or dives.

[camarojay007]

is there a way to formation shift at the line?i was wondering where it was i have tried every button combo i cant find how to do it if it is in the game some one anyone know this?

[libertyi244]

for linebackers hit R then "UP" "DOWN" "LEFT" or "RIGHT" and then the D line hit L then one of the directions

[camarojay007]

thanx for the reply BuT i meant the actual play its self can you ex. single back pass 3 wide and formation shift to a run in that same formation without actualy having to audable to it sorry for the long reply

[mastshke]

Broken Game. and online its the worse because people uses glitches and exploits to win. They need to change that
