Ok, so yesterday I bought Madden 13 and to me it plays very differently from Madden 12. Right now my online record is 4-3. Here are my stats:
Record: 4-3 (7 games played)
Avg Offensive Plays: 47.40 Avg Defensive Plays: 36.40
Passing Ypg for: 276.80 Passing Ypg Against: 266.40
Rushing Ypg For: 133.40 Rushing Ypg Against: 33.80
Points For: 185 Average Points for: 37.00
Points Against: 177 Average Points Against: 35.40
============================================
Alright, so as you can tell I'm doing pretty good on offense, but atrocious on my passing defense. That's whats really killing me.
I use the Rams on Madden 99% of the time.. So I need help figuring out how to defend the pass.
- How do I stop Curl routes?
- How do I stop those deep streaks?
I mean, I'm absolutely dominating people when they try to run the ball against me. As you can see they are averaging like 30 yards a game. And it's not because my pass defense is so bad, but it's because so far no one I've played has averaged more than 3.2 yards per carry against me, so I force them to pass the ball.
But yes, I'm basically winning my games on shootouts, here are the scores to my last five games:
59-41 (Win) Vs. Vikings 31-28 (Win-OT) Vs. Packers 21-45 (Loss) Vs. Chiefs 32-35 (Loss) Vs. Bears 42-28 (Win) Vs. Bears
So how the hell do I stop people from passing so easily on me?

and it's not like they pass the ball a TON vs. me. They don't throw more than 20-25 passes generally, but they get a shit load of yardage off these deep passes. If I can stop them from doing that I can lower my Points against considerably.
last year I was only allowing 25 points per game on defense. So 36 to 25 is a huge difference.

oh yeah and rushing is my forte as always in madden. I got 340 yards with Steven Jackson on 30ish carries in my last game and about 40 more with 8 carries of Daryl Richardson. I normally don't run the ball 40 times a game but the idiot was doing complete pass defense 80% of the time so I passed the ball only like 8 times and had 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

don't ask me... I'm still rocking my 08 game in franchise mode, actually building a dynasty if only Brees would f***ing stay healthy. Honestly, he only played like 5 games in the 2nd and 3rd season combined. What I do is take over Suggs, Peppers, Merriman, Beason, Ngata, Bunkley (basically anyone on my DL or rushing) or Welch (incredible DL.... faster than Peppers, maxed out strength, 99 overall, 2nd year player just atriciocious tackling skills), set offsides to off, get a running start and then blow past the lineman and kill the QB. Atleast if I'm not stopping the pass well.
What I can't do is pass with my backup QB (big ben) without a shitload of INTs

Curl Routes are VERY HARD to stop in M13.
Best you can do is zone your DE into the flat or your LB into the flat or double cover with your CB and S.

Since this is a thread asking for help, I also have a question and since this thread was created there's no need to create other
What is the toughness rating?
Edit: I don't have Madden 13, so I can't help you

Edit: I don't have Madden 13, so I can't help you I think that influences how bad an injury you get. While the Injury rating influences how likely you are to get injured. At least that's how some of the earlier games worked.

This is one of the big gripes I have when it comes to Madden. Any time they add new categories to each players ratings, they don't explain what they mean. Like this year, they have the 5 new categories Durability, Production, Intangibles, Size, and the last one I think is Physicality, maybe? They just add them and expect the gamers to know exactly what they mean and how they affect each player. The only thing I know is that they are tied to the coaching schemes for each position, but other than that, I have no clue.
