SlowAndSteady said:It’s actually a good idea to have pass rushers with abilities that aren’t on the field every play. O-linemen build up resistance and if you sub in another pass rusher especially on 3rd or 4th and long they will have a lot more success getting a quick move and a sack.
Rotating these guys throughout the game is smart football.
It’s smart football. It’s not smart madden.
95 Chase Young - 1 AP Double or Nothing / 1 AP Edge Threat
95 Bruce Smith - 4 AP Edge Threat Elite
94 Sam Adams - Nothing
(I run Washington TT this is my pass rush.)

Or you could just swap ur Le and RE to do the same thing. Nobody is telling you you *must* spend ap in one certain way, it was just a suggesrion, which u clearly are not open to

How do you get pressure on the QB? Just blitzing? You use LBs? So not nickel or dime?
I'd think if you're not using your D line to get pressure you'd wanna go max coverage and drop the LBs in favor of DBs?

for some reason u got into my mind
bought LTD Chase Young
now it's ...
Chase Young (2 AP - Edge Threat, Double Or Nothing), Warren Sapp (1 AP - Under Pressure, Double or Nothing), Jeffery Simmons (1 AP - Defensive Rally, Double or Nothing)
extra def. lineman - Dexter Lawrence II (0 AP Unpredictable)
extra pass rushers /subs - Matthew Judon & Travon Walker (both 0 AP Speedster)
still use Ed Too Tall Jones as user DE/DT (took Lurker off but can put it back on if i take off Mid Zone KO from Ray Nitschke ... really up to me)
so now today will try all this out .... and hope u have a good day today .. thank you.

Dude ease up on these responses.... these guys are just making suggestions.... it's just a game which I'm quite sure you don't play professionally.
I agree about swapping positions but if you were really playing "smart" Madden you'd have a guy like Reggie White with 0 AP El Toro at DT which he gets at secondary position. You'd also get Jeffrey Simmons w 0 AP D rally who has great pass rushing ratings also but will boost your entire d line on 3rd and 4th down..... You can then swap around not just your RE and LE but also your interior linemen....I have 8 players w abilities including 4 with 0 APthat I can swap around or rotate in and that doesn't include my OLBs other than Ware. THAT'S smart Madden

What ur definition of professionally?
And yes, of course its smart to have 0 AP players. It just isn’t smart to have 5 d line with AP. I dont use any AP on d line cuz i dont feel i need to. Instead, I use 4 deep out kos, a mid zone, and a bunch of pick artists

yeah i was trying not to put all "eggs" in one basket .. i wanted to keep my pass rushers fresh and i do rotate em
if that LTD C. Young didn't come out then i would have stuck with my original plan
that C. Young is legit .. W card and trying to stay on ZC 50/50 TT
actually waiting for my free 95 FS Julius Peppers and then he'll be my FS (instead of Megatron that you see right now on top 3, he'll just have Pick Artist and be moved to CB 3 and slot CB)

And yes, of course its smart to have 0 AP players. It just isn’t smart to have 5 d line with AP. I dont use any AP on d line cuz i dont feel i need to. Instead, I use 4 deep out kos, a mid zone, and a bunch of pick artists
some ppl think it's smart to have 5 D Line with AP and you just admitted it .. you don't feel the need to
this thread by OP is amazing cuz it allowed me to read what other ppl are doing what they think fits their needs/scheme
i think i found a way to utilize some of y'all ideas and fit it into my scheme
i do use 4 deep out zone KOs and i also have 3 mid zone KOs (i may go back to 2 .. will have to try out team and see how it goes)
i also have 4 pick artists and 2 tip drills (all 0 AP)
and 1 crusher 0 AP (user sublb sean taylor)
last night i bought back Bobby Wagner so i got an enforcer just for the heck of it .. 0 AP enforcer

Yeah i love all the KOs, but my team isn’t great (89 ovr) so i dont have the extra AP cuz i dont have any massive discounts except for trevon diggs CB

My definition of a professional is someone who plays in the MCS tourneys for a living.
I saw your other post, I think you need 2 inside stuffs (not 1) if you're really going to dare someone to beat you with the run. But that's your strategy. I know that no matter what abilities you have on your secondary, if a QB gets a long enough period of time receivers are gonna get open. If I were going to play a defense that allowed guys to have time to throw, I am sure there will be a lot of completed passes and against that I'd go short flood concepts if you play zone and 4 deep out KOs or I'd run deep posts through the middle of the field. IMO you should be using abilities like crusher and enforcer that affect the ball carrier post catch because you're gonna give up receptions. But again, it all depends on your strategy. You got on people for their strategies....yours is flawed also. Everyone has their own way to play.
Martyr1968 said:You can also swap them from positron to position which will basically do the same thing. I'll switch Ware, Smith, and Reggie White around...... the blocker resistance builds up by specific matchup so if I move Warw from Right to Left the opposing Tackle won't have any resistance built up. AND I move around Reggie (who I play at DT on.passing downs) and my DTs a lot
Yep, I do the same thing.

Why thank you...I am shocked the thread is still getting hits and posts LOL.
I have changed some of my strategies also based on other people's posts

Crusher and enforcer are not abilties that should be used. I have 0 inside stuffs, im not sure where you came up with me having an inside stuff. If somebody wants to tote the rock, they are weird, but i can stop them Without inside Stuff. I switch between blitzing and double mable out of base aligned dollar, so u can’t just run flood concepts.
