When Do Schemes Matter In Madden?

[@shieldofpistis9557]

Jacob, over the past 2 weeks I have realized you are probably the most underappreciated Madden 21 creator. Your hidden gem series is awesome. I do have a suggestion. You can take it with a grain of salt. But I think this would really cap off your hidden gem series really well. Here is my suggestion: Instead of listening 10 or more hidden gems at each position and claiming that you think trades would be doable without testing it on Madden this time do a hidden Gems series but don't stick to one position group. Instead, pick a bad franchise. I would prefer the Bengals, but the Jets, Jags, and Dolphins are popular choices---but everyone does the Dolphins. And show us how on one franchise you fill the roster needs with the hidden gems that are the best fit and you are able to get. It would be great if you showed us how to pick one hidden gem from each position group. But if you did the Bengals, they don't need receivers. But you could show how to add a few hidden gem lineman and other positions with the initial resources. Do you get what I am saying?

Hey, really enjoying your videos. I have some ideas for future videos if you also would find them of interest. 1. The relationship between the (ideal personnel) archetypal players of a scheme, the theoretical concept of related scheme, how the related playbooks seeks to utilize the ideal player and how an opponent will seek to exploit the scheme. 2. A visual comparison between slower-bigger receivers with good-great route running vs fast players w bad route running. I saw you mention how you were able to utilize Keenan Allen and was wondering how it might compare. 3. Whats the meaning of offensive lineman general “pass blocking” and “run blocking” metric vs more specific blocking measure. Why even have the general if its not just an average?

So technically going into franchise mode I should change it each week depending on the person that I'm playing and their defense if it's CPU correct?

Im a Franchise player. Madden 19 w/ SF. Just finished year 12 and KShanahan just retired and had to hire a new coach. Came upon this issue with the new coach. Moved OScheme to vertical run from WC for higher %Allignment and kept everything else the same. Had a hard time finding this info. Thanks

[@dreamsinthree]

Thanks! Very clear explanation.

Scheme/playbook matters 100% in simulation. It can be the difference 5-11 & 13-3 any season.

Hey Jacob, I've recently been searching for an answer and couldn't find a good one online or on KZbin. Do you know how many superstar abilities you can have on one side of the ball at any given time? I'm familiar with the limit of 3 XFs working at one time, but didn't know if the game will negate abilities after a certain number on the field, or how this was determined. Thanks!

[@JacobReid]

My understanding is that there is no limit on superstar abilities! Only X-Factors are capped

[@Robo311Star]

No cap. Double entender.

[@kmac33PS5]

Could you do your training with max XP in mind and then switch your scheme with a win for that week in mind?

[@davybrazell5895]

How did u get Matt Patrica as the head coach? Can you change to whatever coach in madden 22 with any team??

[@CelticsTheGreen9]

If you run this online I think u could do something I say that because if u cater to what your guys know you’ll b in a better position

[@pranayt7376]

is a power blocking scheme or zone blocking scheme better against a 3-4 defense?

[@texasraider5129]

just from a football standpoint, most likely power, 3-4 will use the advantage of smaller guys in space versus big guys in space. Power will latch the Oline to the smaller defenders with quicker and more effective push. Thats just football though, idk about madden.

[@jamesnygaard9838]

Also do sliders matter for CPU versus CPU I'm wondering because I wanna get better end of the year stats

[@anthonybarrett6452]

Thank you that helps me

Genius!

Jacob, I had another question that wasn't covered in this video. With the new Madden 21 update- specifically with the trade logic- I think EA said something to the effect of that it would consider the value and worth of the player the user is trying to trade. Does that mean if I have a player who does not fit my scheme- such as a 3-4 defensive End under a 4-3 style- that the trade logic will make my player less valuable? I think that is very pertinent to this video.
