Every Thursday, a leader in the community will share a tip or two to
help you improve your Madden game. For the next few weeks, Madden
strategy site VG Sports
will share some of their best tips with the rest of the community. Up
this week is the Over Storm Brave & MLB Blitz.
The Over Storm Brave can be run exactly like it is to get pressure on the QB.
But, the normal setup can be blocked rather easily. Here I will look at an
overload setup that is very difficult for the offense to block even if they go
with max protection.
* Move the ROLB or the LOLB directly over the
Center
* Pinch the Linebackers and line up double A gap
blitz
* Call press coverage
The 2-4-5
is a flexible defensive set and is great against the shotgun if we get creative
with it. Now I want you to look at this offensive formation. We have a HB
lined up on the right. Ideally we
will want to overload the left or the middle.
I'm going to show you
the middle overload alignment. The first thing I do is grab one of the OLB's. In this case since I want the back to
block to the right I grab the ROLB.
I am going to take him and
move him directly over the Center. I get him really close to the ball without moving him
offsides.
Now, I pinch the linebackers and make sure they line up
Double A Fire. Finally, I will go
with press coverage on the outside.
As the QB receives the
football we get both Inside Linebackers firing up the middle.
The
three step window for the QB to pass closes rather quickly.
