Question
In my Madden history I usually have stout defensive play, but in this years release (Madden 12) I am having a lot of trouble with shotgun formation draw plays. I just can't seem to stop online opponents from gaining at least four yards per carry. Even if I know the play is coming, I can't seem to slow them down. I am using a 3-4 defense (Ravens, Steelers, Packers, etc). I pinch my D-Line and user a LB that is the QB spy while running 2-Deep man coverage. Occasionally if I sense the Draw play I can hit the hole quickly with the LB and attempt to make a play in the backfield, but it seems like most of the time my lineman and linebackers just get manhandled.
Does anyone have any advice to help stop or slow down the draw play? Formations, coverage assignments, user position selection, etc.
Answer
Try the 3-4 over formation with man coverage and play as a safety. Let your LBs take on open blockers and then run through the open line and make a tackle on the RB. Be careful though, this strategy will work great against keeping the draw to only a few yards (or negative yards) but if your opponent catches on they will have an easy time throwing the ball over you deep down field.
