USING THE TITANS IN MADDEN 2012
So I bought the new 2012 on Tuesday. It is a little different than 2011 but generally the same. The best part about the new game is seeing the revamped Titans roster in action.
Right now the online rosters are pretty much up to date. They have recently cut duds like Brett Ratliff on th team, but not Tommie Campbell or Tim Shaw. Odd. They also have Donnie Nickey, Colin Allred, and Jamie Winborn on the team. Asides from those screw ups, the roster is pretty much up to date.
As for the depth chart, there are a few question marks. Gage is our #3, Cook is our #3 TE, Jason Jones is still at DT, and Ayers is a backup (to Witherspoon, with McGrath on the other side).
When I play online I tried using Matty H but he just isn't nearly as good as Locker. Locker is rated about 9 overall point lower, but is much faster, and has the edge on every important category but for accuracy on short throws. The Titans are much better when you use Locker.
I also sub in Cook as the starting TE, Williams as the 3rd WR, and right now I have Jones and Morgan as DE's with Casey and Smith at DT. Klug is rated too low to start. Hopefully that will get corrected soon. I also sub in Ayers for McGrath. Ayers isn't bad. I sometime play a strong shift 4-3 so Ayers is closer to the line of scrimmage and rush the passer with him. I find that he gets pancaked half the time or completely beats his man the other half.
And that just about sums up my thoughts.

There are some nit-picky things I disagree with with the roster
I don’t have the game infront of me so I am just going from memory:
Jason Jones – only has B rated potential (stupid)
So does Derrick Morgan (mega stupid)
once I got the roster update Donnie N. and C. Allred were dropped.
and yes the depth chart is all screwy.

The player ratings and the potential ratings are based partly on opinion…
… and some of their opinions are nuts.
Rusty Smith’s potential is also a “B”.
Who decided that one, Rusty’s mom?

titans glitch...
does it introduce them as the “New York Titans” for anyone else? every damn time i play with them that’s how they introduce them… so annoying.
It only did that in Madden 11 for me. Not in the new one.

Are the EA servers down for anyone else?
I got Madden yesterday and it said I couldn’t connect. Does anyone know when the servers will be up? Or am I just not able to connect?
Sorry CJ. I'm just not on your side anymore.
i had that problem too
first i needed to input my online code that was found in the game box.
then after i did that it said server was down. so i just shut off my system and retried. eventually it worked after i shut down the system once or twice.
online franchise
are any of you guys starting one on psn? id like to join
i hate the depth chart
its stupid and a lot of our players are rated ridiculously.
Jake Locker <3
He's DT probably down low on the Depth chart
Actually when I started my actual season the computer automatically cut him for some reason…? So I went into FA and re-signed him.

Nah, CJ beat Desean and Desean had a couple of steps on him at the beginning of the relay.

CJ - 4.24 40 time
Desean – 4.35 40 time.
So if that is the case, CJ should get a 110 speed rating
Tommie C. should get a 105 speed rating.

My experience
Just got Madden today so I am still in my first season.
My thoughts:
-Locker plays above his rating. So far he’s been on target with all of his throws
- Mariani in the slot is the best idea I had all day. As we speak he’s in the middle of a 100 yard received in game
- Klug’s rating was two low to start him, but I started Casey. He just got his 2nd sack of the game.
-Morgan seems to disappear. All my sacks are DT or LBs
- I also started McCarthy over Witherspoon. Genius idea on my part. I started him last game and he has a sack and a pick in this game.
-The O-line stuggles with run blocking.
That’s weird…
…. Morgan also went to the Pro Bowl with 13.5 sacks in my game.
He also scored a TD on a fumble recovery.
Klug’s rating is low but for some reason he makes plays, especially if he’s playing at the right DT spot & the CPU is controlling him.
I control Clayton at the left DT spot and does well for me.
Also, the OL seems to run block great for me. I usually have over 100 yards rushing with CJ before the 2nd quarter so I get Ringer and Harper lots of work after that.
Both Cook and Stevens are kicking ass and taking names and so is Britt.
I just slapped the sh*t outta the Browns 59 – 0. I’ve gotten real good at the game so I’ll need to adjust the difficulty to make it even harder. Big blowouts in Madden get boring after a while… unless of course it’s against the Steelers.
Kicking the snot outta the Squealers is ALWAYS fun. It never gets old…

at what level are you playing?
"He's an amazing talent. He's probably the most explosive back since Marshall Faulk and Barry Sanders." - Eddie George, about CJ.
Clayton, Klug, and Casey all kick major ass for me in this game…
… Klug and Clayton were voted to the Pro Bowl.
I should start them ahead of Smith and Casey.
Klug and Clayton seem to make more plays for me…

On year 3 with the Titans
let Hasselbeck start for the first two years, now it’s Locker’s time to shine. He’s an 85 now after sitting in waiting. yus.
I like to play the young guys who have high potential…
… so they can build up their numbers…

I can't stand how they barely say their names anymore.
What is that about? I don’t want to hear only “Number 10 takes the snap”
Ain't no time for hesitatin'

does anyone else
find it harder to stop the run in this one than the last one? or am I just that bad
could be both

I use a LB
Manually control them for about a second going into a gap, then hold (the console-specific button which lets CPU take over action) to get perfect angles and a speed boost. Hope that helps. Add me on PS3 “ed_swayne” just lemme know you are MCM so I dont think you are spammers.

Ice0ne's exploitation of motion in the Strong run formation
Chose the basic strong formation
example play: HB Dive
switch TE to Craig stevens or any Offensive Tackle pre-play
Pinch line
Motion said “TE”
snap the ball right as the TE gets to the Guard
Watch your extra O-line man help widen the a Gap
Example play: FB dive
pre-play also change TE to Craig or a OT
Keep hall at FB or change him for RInger, Craig, Cookie, harper, or graham.
if hall is not used use him at TE instead
Keep CJ at HB to so the D focuses on him
Change o-line assignment to aggresive
motion TE to B gap, snap ball right as TE gets between G and T
play result- nice gain of 3 or 4 yards.
Going back and forth between these two plays confuses and agitates the the Defense (if they are a human or computer player)
then you bring in this play
Hb Counter
this is deadly.. but due to CJ’s speed atleast in ’11 and ’10
he messes it up
So set up the same as the HB dive as listed above.
and then motion the TE to the left, you can fake snap to see if you get a penalty at the times you regularly snapped for the first 2 plays up above.
Pre-snap change Line assignment to to block left
if they are really crowding the LOS snap the ball at the Left A gap, If they are heavy on the R side of the LOS snap ball at the Right A gap, if they are in a base 4-3/3-4 snap at the left OG.
start off jogging, because this play is supposed to go through the B gap, then run after it starts to clear.
I use to tear people up with this with Cj/ Lendale/ Hall/ RInger/ Scaife/ Stevens/ and Cook running the ball.
after you have mastered these 3
you can try the Toss sweep.
pre snap change all WRs to blocking TEs, you can keep KB as a WR if you want.
Change the TE to he starting LT or a backup tackle
change Line Assignment to Block Right
Bring the Right “WR” in motion and snap the ball right as they get to the TE
run like crazy with CJ, you can wait for holes or just flat out run.
After you have mastered these in a game, change everyone back to their original positions and use some of the Play actions passes with motions or just the quick passes with motion.
you’ll love it!!
tell me if it still works.
I have another one for the weak formation that sometimes works better!!

for some reason locker isnt snaping the ball when my te is getting to the G and
so its pissing me off other wise i racked up 230 yards rushing and 4 td with CJ in the first half against the steelers.
by Titans_Firefighter on Sep 5, 2011 11:31 AM CDT up reply actions
ok
it could be because of the formation you used, it should be the player at the WR position, and they should be off of the LOS pre-snap, that may be the problem.
and tell me if you want the Weak version of these plays as well.
Its almost the same and you may just beable to figure it out on your own!

The roster is better, now.
It will be a bit before it’s perfect, probably. I haven’t checked in a couple days.
I just finished up a season in Superstar mode with Jake Locker. 13-3, Super Bowl winners, and Jared Cook was the league’s leading receiver.
Jared Cook is really good on this game.
"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"
