Madden 18: Can Patrick Mahomes get the Chiefs back to the Super Bowl?
(https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=309556)
Caveat, this is in PRO difficulty, but pretty much the default roster for the Chiefs. A completely custom playbook and audibles though.
I fell behind 17-0 to New England, but Alex came off the trading block and actually won that game for me. Beat Philly and the Redskins fairly soundly. Fell early to San Diego (partly due to a Mahomes pick-six) but came back to win it in overtime with a touchdown. That was fun! Been pretty hit by injuries too though. Kelce, Conley, Morse, Hali, Houston for half a game, and Mahomes for half a game in the first four games. |

He was open if you hit him as soon as the MLB started his backpedal (that's where you use the bullet; just as Kelce makes his cut). He was a hell of a lot more open than whoever you were throwing to on that first 'blameless' interception, that's for sure. As for running the option, I'll remember you said that should Andy Reid get Mahomes head taken off running an option with our brand new crown jewel QB. |

You clearly haven't played Madden 18. That route to Kelce is 100% a pick. The linebacker is right in Kelce's path, right ****ing there!
At best I could throw it up and try to make an aggressive catch but that would be foolish given that Hill was open. Shitty throw by Smith though. Not much I can do. *sigh* |
I would have gone in the flat... both those guys were open. You need to channel Smith more and go for the easier, short passes. You could loft it over to Kelce on that one most likely.

And if that's a pick, the ball that wasn't 'in the hole' is an interception every time because man that was just tailor made for a guy playing that zone. You essentially hit him in the chest with the damn thing. Then again, I hadn't seen your clip of Hali hanging with Hill. Yeah, seems like an adjustment or two may be in order. |

Indeed, that throw was terrible.

Daamn.. bad luck man. I guess I need to try All-Madden difficulty. That interception was a pretty impossible situation. You had JJ Watt barreling down on you since he was only blocked by Sherman, and poorly at that, and you had everyone dropping in coverage. Your only chance was to drop off to Spiller and hope he got it or try to squeeze it in to Escobar.. but that one would probably have been picked as well.
|
It was just a dumb throw. I should have run the ball.
By the way the Texans absolutely curbstomped my OL. Eric Fisher sucks. |
I do like the RB cut route for some basic yardage against a good rush team though.

The one that I thought was awful was the long TD throw. Did you have an underneath zone called there? You had absolutely no chance to defend that play; he could've picked the go route or done what he did and have the go route runner start blocking. There was just a massive gap in your coverage there. Asking 2 safeties to cover 50 yards sideline to sideline is...uh...ambitious. Seemed an underneath zone with that much space behind you was perhaps unwise. More of a red zone defense than anything. |
That was Cover 2. No pass rush = ****ED

I gave up on it a few years ago; it was just too damn easy to exploit and drill that WR just as he cleared the CB. The damn flag/corner routes were just impossible to deal with because the WR always got inside position on the safety and the CB never got the proper depth. Hideous, hideous defense. |
It's way different now because the zones are all dynamic based on how you choose to play them before the snap. I can pick over the top, shade outside, defend 1st down marker, or underneath.
Still probably a mistake to do that that far from the goal line in a 2 minute drill. |

Giants game was stupid. Reek and Houston hurt in the same game. No recap. Plus look at this bullshit.

"But Clay," the peanut gallery laments. "Whatever will you do to shore up your left tackle situation."
HOW ABOUT THIS
Spoiler!
Bye, Fishicia. Ignore the OVR, because Terron's 90 PBK and extreme athleticism will make all the difference. The Chiefs then sign a whopping 15 undrafted free agents to fill out the roster, only two of which are notable.

Ladies and gentlemen...your 2018 Kansas City Chiefs

Let's hope 2018 is better than 2017 because I've managed to reerun Pat's development too much already. :facepalm: https://i.imgur.com/PBPfMzL.jpg |

Check the free agent pool at the start of week 1. Always a couple of decent players from cutdowns.

Cesar Seamster is going to be a ****ing beast. Look at this preseason cutup.

65 overalls in the 4th round? You need to get better at drafting.
|
Quote:
Plz stop. Aside: drafting is harder this year. You're not going to be able to scout every player as much as you want to. I didn't scout any of the QBs because I wanted to save points for other positions, and I still was lacking a lot of scouting data. It's far more realistic...really like it. |
About 5-6 years ago Madden was all about grabbing as many speed guys as you could find. They've gotten away from that a bit but Clay's video makes it look like they put it on it's head entirely this year.
Get yourself a big damn WR and fire bullet passes and the new engine will let him do all kinds of 'big receiver' shit to just go take it away. Interesting change in gameplay and probably a good thing. Size is still pretty critical for a lot of those downfield 50/50 balls. |
Quote:
I couldn't do that for shit with Conley or Kelce last season. Hence, why I drafted him. |
Here we go gentlemen. 2018 is here...
Week 1: Raiders @ Chiefs

Niiiiiiice

Week 2: Chiefs @ Seahawks
Spoiler!
Chiefs sign Marcus Peters, who has been very well behaved, to a 5-year, $61 million contract extension. |
You are ****ing horrendous at this game. You don't make any effort to throw actual intermediate routes and just spam bombs to receivers that are double and triple covered. It's actually impressive how ****ing bad you are.
|
Quote:
You're not going to see many of my intermediate plays in highlights, though, because they are not relevant to the outcome. It's just a first down. Why would I share that? But just to show you...
Spoiler!
My offense is multiple, sir. Unlimited. Perhaps someday I'll show you my screen/flat game. But you're right. I am ****ing horrendous. I have a distinct inability to read defenses quickly. But I am getting better. The day will dawn. |

You take too long to make decisions. On that intermediate route, notice how the WR had to dive for the ball, and that you were making a tight fit between three defenders. It took a great play to pull that off, whereas Kelce was open on the drag route immediately. Given that it was third and short, tossing it to him in that situation is almost a certain catch and conversion.
TE drag routes are unstoppable against zone coverage in football video games if you time the throw correctly. |

WEEK 6: BRONCOS @ CHIEFS
No Mitch Schwartz. Can the Chiefs hold off Von Miller and get back to .500?
Spoiler!
|
That is, without question, the greatest loss I have ever seen.
|
I gave up 31 points, and 12 came off:
A blocked field goal A blocked extra point A field goal at the gun that wouldn't have been attempted had Denver not blocked two other kicks. LMAO I guess that's karma for Alex choking. |
So to MMQB the hell out of this - why kick it?
You're up 4; going up 5 does nothing. Your offense has been humming and getting to 6 theoretically at least forces them to hit the XP to win. They've already blocked a kick on the day. So why kick it at all? 'The chart' would say to go for 2, I'm sure. Returning it and then winning on a figgy at the gun to knock out 5 pts there is just fantastic. That's 'break my controller' shit when I was a kid. |

Usually you're OK if you delay the snap on a kick...WHICH I DID ON BOTH KICKS. I think from now on I'm going with EXTREME delays on all kicks. :cuss: You gotta like the challenge, though. This isn't your father's Madden. |
