I really enjoy messing with people on madden 13 in 1v1. I have a few troll strategies going, but they're getting a bit old. If you guys have any annoying tactics, please let me know.
Strat #1: The Cleveland Broncos.
Select the cleveland browns and wait for your opponent to pick teams. Then wait until the pick a bad team close to Cleveland's overall, and then quickly flick the stick one point upwards to the Broncos for an easy win. They will often rage quit right at the start of the game.
Success: 9/10
Frustration: 11/10
Strat #2: The Punt-First-Offense.
I usually play this with the Kansas City Chiefs. They are a very good madden defense, and if you choose one of the elite defenses (49ers, Seattle, Ravens, Steelers) then they'll probably pick an elite offense. The key is getting them to pick a fairly weak team.
Choose to kick the ball at the kickoff and shut down the opposing offense. Whenever you get the ball for any reason, punt the ball. Attempt to win the game without any offense at all. Just score on safties, turnovers, or field goals when you get the ball in field position. A bad offense constantly stuck in bad field position will equal an easy win sometimes.
The best outcome is a 0-0 tie, simply because it frustrates the other team, but my personal favorite was my recent 2-0 win over the Patriots.
Success 5/10
Frustration: 10/10
Strat #3: Crazyhorse playbook.
I've designed a playbook without a single normal play in it. It's called crazyhorse. It can be accessed from the my madden screen by modifying a playbook and inserting every single wildcat, pistol, and read option type play from EVERY team's playbook. It include everything you could expect to run. I play it with RGIII at QB and WR Brandon banks as my running back, switching in Alfred Morris when needed. This one is highly successful and people get frustrated quickly.
Success: 8/10
Frustration: 7/10
Strat #4: El nino
When playing against a run first team like the Vikings, choose an all pass team like the Saints, and then set the field conditions to Dolphins stadium, blizzard snow, and no wind. This creates more fumbles, confuses them with snow in Miami, and helps the passing game when DBs slip in the snow.
Success: slight benefit
Frustration: moderate
Strat #5: A quick two points.
Line up to kick an extra point after a touchdown, but sub in your QB at holder and your best WR or TE at the second tight end spot, then audible to a quick pass and have him run a button hook.
Success: 99%
Frustration: minor
Strat #6: Wildcatamount.
By using the depth chart feature to call your QB a WR and your WR a QB. Then run the wild cat. It will signal to your opponent that you are in a regular 2 WR or three WR personnel package! You can use this to fake the wildcat or make your regular packages look like the wildcat.
Success: 75%
Frustration: moderate
Strat #7: the goal line offense.
For this package I prefer the Tennessee Titans. Line up in a goal line package every play and repeatedly ground the rock for a few series. It doesn't matter if you can move the chains at first, but it will tire out your opponent quickly and you'll probably win in the end.
The players in your opponents goal line package have much lower stamina then their base package, and they will be on defense for long, grueling drives. After three series or so without throwing the ball, mix in the play action to your speediest WRs, who you will sub in at the tight end spots. The defenses tired linebackers and DBs aren't a match for kendall wright or Chris Johnson running up the field, and they'll probably have only one deep safety.
Success: 75%
Frustration: Through the roof
