I started an online Franchise for the PS3 if anyone is interested PM me your PS network ID and I will send you an invite.

[quote=Ruhskins;721723]Actually I was playing All-Pro. I've been more careful with tackling, but the likes of Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson will run all over me. I have to basically do all out blitzes in obvious running situations.[/quote]

I was able to shut down CJ for some reason, but Peterson ran ape-shit on me for 200+.

Heck I even had Cadillac Williams tear me up.

The frustrating thing is the CPU is able to run at will, but I can barely average 3 yards a pop with Portis. I seem to have better luck with LJ since he can break some tackles.

What I've noticed is that our interior line gets destroyed on almost every running play, and Portis is usually getting hit 1-2 yds behind the line of scrimmage. I have started juking hard immediately (whichever way looks open) after receiving the hand off and it seems to help. I've had a few breakaways with Portis and it's funny how he is always getting run down from behind. He definitely took a big hit this year. RB will be one of my first picks in the draft.

Re: Madden 2011
 

They must have the 2009 offensive line on the game. :D

Re: Madden 2011
 

No question about it, the hit on Portis this year is obvious. Thats why I'm starting LJ. I let preseason decide and Larry Johnson played absolutley lights out.

Parker is a speed demon too if used correctly. There is a huge difference in the running game between Johnson and Portis.

Re: Madden 2011
 

I'm using Portis and he is leading the league in rushing.

damn really? What level are you playing on?

I can barely get CP out of the backfield before he gets hit, but for some reason the line always blocks well for LJ. Hmmmm

All Pro, I cannot mess with All Madden yet.

Try accelerating a little slower in the backfield to allow your blocks to set up. i know I sound like the game tips but its true.

I only press the joystick to the maximum once I have broke free. Its easier to pull of spins and jukes and hit holes when you are between 65-85% of your maximum speed. You are also less likely to run into the back of your own blocker.

I've pretty much given up on the run. It's an all out air attack with McNabb. Cooley and Davis are both nearing 1,000 and DT isn't far behind.

Re: Madden 2011
 

Does leaning forward make you run faster in the game? I thought that's what I had read, but I really don't notice any burst with CP...

edit- Never mind, just re-read the blog, looks like leaning forward actually decreases your speed.

I'm on all-pro too.

I actually turned sprint off to see if it would help but it hasn't. Like I said for some reason CP gets stuffed all the time and is averaging about 3 yards a pop, but LJ always gets good blocking and is averaging just over 5 per carry.

That's how I figured out the running game on previous versions. I'd always start beating on the turbo button as soon as I took the handoff. Once I figured out that if I wait until getting in the open or at least past the LOS to hit it...I had great success running the ball.

The ratings will change as they hopefully look better during the season

I use Portis on All-Madden and I always find holes.

Re: Madden 2011
 

Just last night I rushed for 216 yards with LJ against the Eagles, and I was playing on All Pro. The difference between him and CP are night and day, to me.

I tip my hand to everybody who uses Portis, because even my brother said that Portis runs differently in that game compared to LJ. Looking in depth at the players, LJ has the stat advantage in several categories, which i think is why he does better.

He has higher strength, stiff arm, and truck. This is why he can rumble foreward and break tackles...its obvious now. Look at the stats to see for yourself.

Re: Madden 2011
 

LJ is still my goaline back. CP is my all around back. When CP is hurt I use LJ except on 3rd downs, then I use Willie Parker.

Re: Madden 2011
 

I'm finally getting the hang of things on the ground. My last 2 games I've been up over 90 yards with CP, averaging a solid 5 too. I went into practice mode and really worked on the new right stick controls. A lean here and a lean there while working through the holes really makes a big difference.

I'm really starting to like the new locomotion deal. It really feels more real life and less like a video game.

Welcome to the Dark Side.

Re: Madden 2011
 

is there a turbo/sprint button for ps3?

i see that you can "auto-turbo" on or off but i cant figure out what you do to turbo or sprint.

i restarted my franchise on all-pro after going 7-0 on pro level. now im 0-3 so far.

leaning as i enter a running hole has helped, it hurts when you lean the wrong way.

where is the sprint button? what is up with this "auto-turbo sprint thing" option? ive turned it off and on and dont see any change in game play.

I did the same thing the "sprint" button is the R2 button...

anyone playing ultimate team? Kinda of interesting.

You need to let the real LJ know he has these skills...he obviously doesn't realize it. 8 carries/4 yards...ugh.

Re: Madden 2011
 

yes, I am playing ultimate team. Kind of fun, but I keep getting the black screen of death after MUT games, so I cannot get the coins I am due. Its happened for like 8 games now, so, thats like 10000 coins I am out.

But, ya, its fun.

Re: Madden 2011
 

I just sold my copy for $45, I made $5 on Madden!

Anyways, every year I think I am going to like it and then I realize I don't have the time for crap like this.

Re: Madden 2011
 

Got myself a stud RB in the draft and man what a difference. Went for 177 yards and 3 scores in his first game and followed that up with 121 yards and a score in his 2nd game. Averaging nearly 8 yards a pop!

Re: Madden 2011
 

Anyone play online? The defense is this years game is really weak. I play on All Madden now. I think all ranked games should be all madden. I heard a "Patch" is about to be released for the Pre play audibles and for the Defenses AI.

Re: Madden 2011
 

BTW I would love to do online franchise.. Can I join anyone's ?

Figures a patch is coming out just as I'm starting to get the hang of the new strategy pad.

Re: Madden 2011
 

^ lol yea EA said about a week ago that a patch will come out in September. I would guess when the new roster update will be out.

I used my first round pick (late first rd) on a center, 2nd rounder on a right guard, both max potential guys. Running game has been soooo much better.

Re: Madden 2011
 

Yeah I upgraded at center too, a good OL definitely makes a big difference

sweet so there is a sprint button. well, no wonder im having some issues.

won my 1st game on all-pro level against the eagles with an OT field goal. now im 1-3. oh well, hopefully when i get through this season my 2nd season can be on all-madden level. looking to make playoffs in my 3rd year of franchise.

Re: Madden 2011
 

You have to turn it on though.

Re: Madden 2011
 

I wish EA would update like MLB the Show does. I hate the once every couple of week crap they do. I mean I know a lot more stuff happens in baseball, but would it really be that hard?

Re: Madden 2011
 

[quote=Angry;723799]You have to turn it on though.[/quote]

thanks angry. can you explain. sorry if i sound dumb but i was playing the wii version the past couple years (where i would dominate on all-madden) and there is alot more to the PS3 version.

i know there is an option to turn on or off the "auto-sprint", is this waht you mean by turning it off or on. so by turning "auto-sprint" off, i can press R2 for sprint?

i really like how you have to get rid of the ball on time or you get sacked or miss your window. with wii you could drop back, avoid the rush pretty easy and just make ridiculus passing plays.
