There needs to be better outside speed rush DL

[StefJoeHalt]

I been saying this for years but there need to be more explosion to the edge for DE's/OLB's/edge players..below I have attached a video of what I mean..but also very good OT's need to be able to "ride" these Edge players wide..which would create a true pocket..I know others have always preached this like LBz..but this year it seems extremely nerf

Now here is the other side of it..also once a Edge player or any DL beats his man..the OL NEED to continue to fight or at least try..no auto win/auto lose

Pass rush is totally nurfed. You ain't getting there with 4. 3? Even with me sending Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews? HA.

Agreed. The edge rushers are not exploding upfield with enough consistency. Instead of exploding toward the tackle's outside shoulder, I see way too much them trying to put on a stutter-step type of move before engaging. And then once they are engaged they are just as likely to be stoned as they are continue to move.

I know there were a lot of complaints about the amount of sacks, but I thought they were on the right track last year. The sack numbers were more a function of the poor QB A.I. imo...

Everything is toned down when it comes to the dline. The days of the scrambling QB are back. contain is garbage in this game.

Agreed. With Suh I get pressure up the middle which feels like it's about the right amount. Switch to Wake and rush from the DE position, nothing. No pressure whatsoever. Cant even drive the RT back to form what would even be a pocket.


I haven't simmed a season at all, but I'd be curious to see if DE's are registering sacks during sims at least. It really seems as if its impossible to get manual pass rush from the DE positions, in comparison to DT.

[Postman17]

They were taking steps forward and now went two steps back. Its very aggravating to not be able to get to the QB.

You guys don't know what yah talking about. This is the best madden Evah !
Even with 30% more patty cake by the oline/dline.

Seriously though, Untill they change the way players move and interact with each other, and finally figure out how to get the oline to pass protect, we are NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER gonna see whats in those vids.

What you see in those vids wont be possible until 2008.....in another game.

Just wondering are you guys playing on All-Madden?

I've been running scrimmages on All-Madden and my ends get 1-3 sacks a game, and my DT's are in the mix as well. Very rarely send more than 5.

However for our league I'm sure we'll adjust Pass Blocking to help with consistency, but the rush is there from what I've seen at least on All-Madden H2H.

Now against the CPU that is another story.
