Top 5 Run Offense Tips in Madden 

I must 2nd that I really didn’t know you could do all of that.

what i’m saying 🤣

I’m happy to help Paul. The developers said “ID the mike” does nothing or else I would have included it in this video. I’m on your side though I think it helps.

No problem!

This is one of my favourite comments I’ve received. I’m happy I could clarify.

@@Swolosimo My pleasure. I wish I could like this post a thousand times.

I'm not certain but pretty sure I've seen direct from EA programmers that ID Mike and Double team is only for pass plays, same with slide the line.. people still do it as a psychological habit thinking it makes a difference.. most run plays the NT right in front of the center especially will automatically get double teamed by one of one of the guards & Center.. inside zone is a play where they double team then once that player is moved/controlled enough whoever is less involved with the double team moves forward to the next zone assignment.. go into practice mode and mess around with those assignments and you'll see on pass plays you can basically leave an unassigned guy free to the QB because you double teamed someone next to him. can't on run plays.

@@mar4380 ID the Mike is a mystery. Pass protection mechanics and double team definitely affect the run.

More to come!

Glad you enjoyed it

Yes I had a part about doing it with the receivers too, it just didn’t make the video. Good insight reeman!

I think they might matter but I don’t think they actually do anything to positively affect the run.

Man coverage of your receivers have stems on them.

@@Swolosimo appreciate it! Subbed!!

I always thought kittle was a great blocker. If you’d like to look at a database to better answer your question check out: MUT.GG

That’s pretty weird. They’re probably overcommitting to the run w their user or have lots of people in the box.

Not entirely sure. Probably man coverage if the misdirection has stems.

@@Swolosimo Thanks!

I am not sorry. If there’s enough interest I might.

They won’t actually double team a lot of the time but it will enhance your blocking.

I-form runs are my personal favourite. I-close is probably the best for under center. Out of shotgun tight offset is probably the best running formation.

@@Swolosimo Thanks!

Yes!

The point of the example was to show I had the ability to hit the correct hole because I didn’t hold down the right trigger. Ofcourse you can hold it down and put yourself in the right hole. This seldom happens though because the same hole doesn’t often open up twice in a row.

It’s def nice for running!

I have no idea what that is.

@@Swolosimo comets ... #shootingstars... duh! Lol

What aspect won’t work James?

@@Swolosimo like I said if u no how to play d-fence that won’t work

@@jamesbarber2871 I'm run heavy. And will cram the rock down anyone's throat in ANY league I play. Of course I have my own playbook with audibles set for any look you give me. If......and this is a big if, you shut my run down, I got some PA that will torch you with anyone I throw to. To completely shut me down requires some buck zero man blitzes which will undoubtedly leave me with a mismatch against you with a good te or HB out the backfield. Bro, im not bragging but telling you facts. Like clockwork my opponents always say the same shit, 1. bro play wierd 2. u a pussy for running 3. anyone can run 5. you chewing the clock 6. stop running! WHY? everyone knows shit broke in madden. Seriously, if you know how to let your holes develope and then actually pick the right hole, it is HARD to stop the run. Top opponets will pinch dl and LB's in and really try to clog the middle, then i just audible to the stretch and run to the week side (like this vid said). There is one defense that gives me fits though. the 43 wide cov 0 blitz man. this is when i have to actually pass the ball with play action.

oh and mugging the gaps with your user mlb can mess up b;locking assignments for an inside run but if i see you mugging, audible to the stretch.
