MADDEN 2002 Owners

LOL:laughing: Hey call it what you want! It really doesn\'t bother me if you think I have an ego. To tell you the truth, I\'ll take it as a compliment. If me saying that is gonna cause you to be upset then hey, maybe you have some issues you need to address:rolleyes:

Heh, relax man. Anyway Yep online Madden is gonna rule. I\'m countin the days...

I\'m doing two things at once right now:

A franchise on Pro (I\'m on a 19 game win streak, lol)


And

A season on All Madden and I\'m 9-5 baby!!!

So don\'t jump to conclusions just cuz\' people like to play on Pro. I can easily contend in All Madden I just prefer Pro better cuz\' the game is more explosive.

6 minute quarters...

Most points i scored on All Madden was 24, and two of them were because of turnovers.

Most rush yards by Garrison Hearst= 45 (It\'s friggin\' impossible to break 100)

Most pass yards by Jeff Garcia= 207 (lol, HB Screens...)

So, when this baby does go online, we will see who can claim bragging rights.

Hey cool thanks for sharing.....

Here are my sats for my current season

8 min quarters All-Madden
 
Bucs 3-11 man it sucks 9 games lost by three points or less....
Best rushing game Warrick Dunn 125 yards on 24 carries
Best Passing game Brad Johnson 337 yards 29-44
Best receiving game Jaquezz Green 227 yards on 6 catches
Best Takling game John Lynch 14 and 5 for a loss
Most sacks Warren Sapp 4 against the Carolina Panthers

Currently in my Season Keyshawn Johnson leads the leauge with 101 receptions for 1749 yards(we going to kill Jerry Rice record for yards in a season) Jaquezz Green is Second with 54 receptions for 1318 yards(he tends to break away alot more than Johnson.) Dunn has 245 carries for 572 yards I\'ve only had that one good game with him.Alstott has 119 carries for 272 yards. John Lynch is 3rd in the leauge with 109 tackels.

That\'s my current season and I am having a blast, Dungy will be fired upon seasons end and we\'ll get a new coach with a new format. I\'ve got great Seniors coming out of NCAA Football 2002 entering the draft so I\'ll be a much stronger team next year with an improved record.

As for me running circles around you guys, don\'t take such offense to that satement peeps. We all know the only way to prove it is to get on-line and play hardnose football. Be patient, the time is getting Oh so close!!!

Dang, your a most worthy challenger when this game goes online. :rangry:

Everyone should start a fresh season, on All-madden, using the same team, and we can compare our games and stats and stuff.
That would be kool.

My current All Madden season

12-1

Rushing: Dayne 200 yards (rushing is impossible)
Passing: Scott Mathews (someone i picked in the draft) 123.4 QB Rating and 1,432 yards.
Defense: Sucks. It\'s hard as hell to play D on All Madden. Really don\'t know how I\'m doin so good

Well your defense can\'t suck too bad in order to be 12-1.

I give up over 41 pts a game and 405 yards passing. Yes it does suck, Thank God my offense and special teams is great (19 returns for TD\'s)

WHO\'S YOUR KICK RETURNER?!?!

HOLY CRAP!

On All Madden I\'ve never gotten past my 35

Yeah, I was lucky. I found a running back in last years draft who had 99 Speed. His Carry rating is kinda low, so he fumbles alot, but when he breaks a tackle or finds a whole, he\'s gone. I still wanna play with Dayne so I put him in in kick return duty for both kickoffs and punts.

Dayne returning punts and kicks? Don\'t do that, he\'s way too slow.

I use Vinny Sutherland for my kickoffs and punt returns and he has only 5 TD\'s and that\'s on Pro.

Is Tiki Barber any good at kick returning?

No man I was saying that I didn\'t want to replace Dayne as the running back so I put that rookie with 99 speed on kick return duties.

All this football talk makes me wanna go out and buy Madden 2002 and sell 2001.

 I do have a few questions for you guys in this thread though.
1)When playing defence what guys do you choose to control both before and or after a throw has been made?
2)Do you use alot of special moves when running like spins or juking or do you just use the D-pad?
3)I have yet to even play 2002 because a couple people said that it was pretty much the same as 2001.... Is it really alot better than 2001 or just a bit better?
4)Finally what kind of defence do you set up? For plays I mean give some scenarios and why you use them.

 Thanks for the help, hope to play some of ya online in the future and show me yer chit.

To answer your questions in order

1) Before a pass is made I either control a lineman (depends who\'s my best lineman at the time) and try to get a sack before the pass is made. Sometimes I will control a linebacker if I\'m blitzing him. Once the ball leaves the QB\'s hands I press X to switch to my nearest DB and either deflect the pass or pick it off.

2) I really don\'t use the special moves unless I KNOW they\'re goin to work. For example if a guy falls in front of me I jump.

3) While I did enjoy 2001 I urge you to purchase 2002. Yes the 2002 version is similar to the 2001 version but only  for the PSOne. The PS2 Madden 2002 is a way better game (even in EGM\'S Top 100 Games of All-Time list)

4)Well, on 3rd and Short I usually pick 3-4: Double Blitz. For Long downs I usually pick 3-4 and Cover 2 or another play that blitzes my outside linebacker. NEVER use a blitz that includes a DB. Well I don\'t because every time I do I get burned. Usually I play out of 3-4 but alot of people play out of 4-3. You just need to experiment and see what works best for you. Also try throwing in a Dime and Nickel package every once in a while to change up your play calling or else you\'ll become to predictable.

1)When playing defence what guys do you choose to control both before and or after a throw has been made?

If it\'s a run play, I control my Linebacker\'s and close any holes that they try to open. If it\'s a pass play I control my nose tackle and try my best to get through. After the ball leaves the QB\'s hands, I immediately switch to the corner who is in the vecinity of where the ball is headed and make sure the ball doesn\'t end up in a WR\'s hands.

2)Do you use alot of special moves when running like spins or juking or do you just use the D-pad?

I juke alot using the top R buttons. I also like to dive if I need the extra yards or the TD right over the pylons. I never spin though cuz\' it brings your runner to a halt and doesn\'t seem to work as well. When I\'m in the open field though I sprint like hell cuz\' it\'s hard to bring down a RB that\'s sprinting full speed with his shoulders\' squared.


3)I have yet to even play 2002 because a couple people said that it was pretty much the same as 2001.... Is it really alot better than 2001 or just a bit better?

Madden 2002 has realistic looking players that don\'t look like dolls. It has a much better special teams and defensive engine so you can\'t just aimlessly throw the ball 75 yards for a TD so easily. Madden 2002 also has newly updated rosters that are up to date. It\'s much better.

4)Finally what kind of defence do you set up? For plays I mean give some scenarios and why you use them.

Depends what the offense\'s situation is. If it\'s 1st and 10 I always go into a Dime defense because it\'s likely that the offense will either run up the gut, or dump off a short pass to their TE. If it\'s 3rd and 10 I\'ll most definately do a Nickel-Man Lock, play which covers anyone coming out of the backfield really well. I love to blitz on second down because it keeps the opposing QB on his toes.


Wow, it\'s unbelievable all the strategy in this game...
