Madden 16 Defensive Quick Adjust

[majesty95]

This was a video from Shopmaster highlighting the new defensive quick adjust menu (or defensive hot routes if you will). I think this is a GREAT new feature by EA and will give us TONS of flexibility on defense to create different looks and to target certain receivers to take away on plays. I know Colefolks319 and I will definitely get knee deep in this feature lol. Take a look and tell us what you think and how you might use it this year.

The quick adjust is awesome not having to cycle through defenders and stuff. Very nice should come in handy

 

[mycaddy]

I will spend at least half of my ea access practicing using that so I am on point on Christmas Day this year

My first concern was a user vs user game you won't have time to make the adjustment unless your quick. I see me using it mostly to double a Wr on 3rd down

 

[mycaddy]

yea that is why I will be practicing so I can make my adjustments quick... I am hoping you can start making adjustments out coming out of the huddle with no hesitation that gives you a few extra seconds if you know what to expect

 

[majesty95]

I think you will only be able to make 1-2 adjustments max. But like caddy said, if you can adjust coming out of the huddle it might give you a little extra time. Hopefully it doesn't become too much where guys are creating weird defenses on the fly that screw up the AI lol

 

[mycaddy]

Yes I can see that happening. but another thing I hope but I havent heard anything about it but if I shade a db to the inside have him actually stop the slant or drag route... even if it is giving up the out or corner route... justhave that actually work...

 

[priestmvp]

Yeah sure didn't work last year. Yeah I mostly see it being useful to at least double someone who is killing you especially since we can't have defensive assignments

 

[majesty95]

It works its just really subtle. Would be nice though if you could make them really jam and push outside. I'm sure ratings play a role in how effective it is. We def need more control on D to stop certain things. Ideally we shouldn't have to self police if we had all the tools necessary to stop whatever is being thrown as us.

 

[majesty95]

Man coverage as a whole was really bad in 15. Hopefully that is much improved.

 

[priestmvp]

Ideally shouldn't have to feel like you have to make 10 adjustments to have an effective defense so really hope D ai is smarter and yes bring back man defense please

 

[majesty95]

Yeah I agree. That is the retort for man a cheeser. Well, you can stop it if you do this, this and this. Come on. We shouldn't have to make 4-5 moves pre snap just to stop a crossing pattern a reasonable amount of the time lol

 

[mycaddy]

exactly

 

[mycaddy]

ideally to stop a simple crossing route shading should be sufficient

 

[priestmvp]

Ideally no matter wtf you call on def if they keep calling same play or running the same route the Cpu def would jump that shit

 

[majesty95]

Agreed. The CPU controlled defenders have to take AWR and plat rec into account and start jumping stuff that is run over and over.
