    After putting an end to innumerable speculations, Electronic Arts has finally made it clear to bring forth its world-wide loved games on the iPhone. During the Game Developers Conference, it has been announced that Electronic Arts would put its various popular games on the iPhone. EA’s all time hits including Tiger Woods Golf and Madden NFL would be main attractions, while its old horses are raring to go mobile with Need for Speed and Spore. There are few surprises in the form of Star Trek.


    Some of these games would be endowed with Bluetooth wireless multiplayer feature with the new iPhone Operating System 3.0 – which would hit the stores in this summer. So, you can expect these games on iPhone in the end of this year. Some of the most obvious games on iPhone would be:

    • FIFA 10
    • Madden 10
    • Tiger Woods
    • Need for Speed
    • Spore Creatures

  • Madden Ultimate Team
    by Madden-School.com
    Posted January 7th, 2010 at 7:30 pm

    Madden Ultimate Team was released early today and lots of people have already started playing it. Everyone starts off with some of the worst players the game has to offer, I had no player with an overall rating of 70 but I like the idea of playing to get more players. It is a very fun thing and it introduces me to new playbooks that I have not used in the game yet. You immediately feel how bad the players are since some of the receivers can’t catch and the quarterback can’t throw. You really need to change your normal game plan to play with these players.

    I noticed that you can only start the players in your starter pack 10 times before they expire meaning you will need to buy a new pack soon to replace them.  So the question is, will you be able to save up for the 9000 coin pack without your entire roster expiring or having to pay?  I know $3 is not a lot of money but I just don’t want to pay since those players will expire as well.

    Overall, the game looks like fun and hopefully glitchers won’t find a glitch that gets them 10 million coins.

    New York Jets vs. Cincinnati Bengals

    Now I know that the Bengals got destroyed last week. They’ve now lost 3 out of 4 and have some injuries to deal with. The Bengals might not have Chad Ochocinco or Domata Peko for Saturday’s game and they placed Rey Maualuga on IR. The key is to get both Ochocinco and Peko back and starting. Peko is a big guy that can shut down the run, which is something that Cincinnati had trouble with last week. Ochocinco is the main guy in the receiving core and if he is not playing, the Bengals will have to rely on the run. However, both of these guys practiced on Wednesday and should be ready to go. On the flip side, the Jets might not have the services of David Harris, their solid and underrated middle linebacker, for the game.
    My Pick: Bengals. I just can’t see the Jets beating them twice but we’ll see.

    Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots

    The Ravens managed to secure a playoff spot after beating the Raiders Week 17. The key for them now is to prove that they deserve to be playing in the playoffs. These two teams faced off in New England Week 4, a game that the Patriots won 27-21. The difference is that the Patriots had Wes Welker in that game. Welker, who ranked 1st in receptions during the regular season, will not play and it might hurt New England’s offence somewhat. With him being out, I can see Randy Moss being targeted a few more times, especially since the Baltimore cornerbacks are average and not all that tall.
    My Pick: Patriots. I don’t know if the Ravens can have the run they had last year in the playoffs.

    Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys

    We’re seeing something out of the Cowboys that we haven’t seen in a long time: Them winning in December. And technically, they did win in January. Tony Romo has been leading his team to the playoffs and is looking almost MVP like. If he can continue with his success and their defence can keep on shutting the door, the Cowboys might be the team to beat in the playoffs. Then again, we haven’t seen them in the playoffs yet and the Eagles are a tough team to beat twice. However, Philadelphia has to make up for the disappointing loss last week. The Eagles could have been sitting back at home watching the Wildcard round on TV if they were to win last week.
    My Pick: Cowboys. I know they sucked recently in the playoffs but I can see them beating up the Eagles once again. The new stadium is going to be rocking Saturday Night.

    Green Bay Packers vs. Arizona Cardinals

    The Packers have been one of the hottest teams heading into the playoffs. They are 4-1 in their last 5 games and had a huge win against the Cardinals last week. They have also outscored their last 2 opponents 81-17. Now they head back to Arizona with some swagger. The Cardinals come into this game knowing what it takes to make the Super Bowl. Both have great quarterbacks, pretty good run games but Green Bay does have a better defence.
    My Pick: Packers. Too good of a defence for me to pick Arizona, but it will be a tight game.

  • How to stop the Nano Blitz
    by Madden-School.com
    Posted January 1st, 2010 at 5:06 pm

    The majority of Madden players are SIM players and may not like to use “cheesy” blitzes because they say it’s unstoppable.  That’s false!  Nano blitzes are stoppable and I’m going to teach you how to stop the majority of them.

    First, how do nano blitzes work?  They work by having some of your blitzers keep some blockers busy while another sneaks in gets instant pressure.  The majority of nanos bring pressure from the inside.  Some players know that the nano is coming and they STILL try to do plays under center, are you crazy?  If you’re going to call a play from under center, I recommend using HB Stretch which can be found in multiple formations and playbooks.  It’s very hard to get pressure from the inside when doing that play, and it usually gains positive yardage.

    The most common (and my favorite) way to stop blitzes is to come out in a shotgun play with two running backs on your side.  You want to choose a play where they will be on a route towards the flats.  You will want to throw quick throws.  Once your opponent adjusts to that, you may want to catch them off guard by setting both running backs to block.  Then set your offensive line to pinch using the slide protection feature.  After that, try to have your other receivers run a route towards the inside such as a slant or a drag route.

    After you have mastered all that, what happens if your opponent uses bump and run and your receivers are being bumped for up to 5 seconds and you can’t get the pass off?  First, I like to have my receiver set to a slant route.  Second, you want to make their route “unbumpable”.  To do this, highlight the player you wish to pass to as though you’re going to motion him.  Set him to motion towards the other side of the field, he should turn around and at the moment when he has completely turned around (but has not started running his motion) hike the ball.  You may have to practice this in practice mode to get the idea.

    There are many nano blitzes out there, but if you learn how to stop these, you will figure out how to stop other ones by adjusting.

  • NFL Week 17 Picks
    by CrAzAnEsS
    Posted December 31st, 2009 at 7:56 pm

    28-20 my records getting better

    Indianapolis Colts (14-1) at Buffalo Bills (5-10)

    The key point for this game is whether or not the Colts will rest their starters again. Most likely it will happen. It would be a slap in the face of all the Colts fans if the team were to keep their starters in all game. I highly doubt we’ll see Peyton Manning or any other starter in the game for more than a half. Last week, we saw how bad the Indianapolis backups could be as they allowed 19 points while scoring 0. Add that onto the fact that it will be in snowy Buffalo, and you got a recipe for disaster.
    My Pick: Buffalo

    New York Giants (8-7) at Minnesota Vikings (11-4)

    Basically this game is a slumping playoff team against a team that just barely missed the playoffs. So who is going to be hungrier in this game? For the Giants, it’s a chance to make up for the 41-9 loss they had at home against the Panthers. A win would also give them their 3rd straight winning season. For the Vikings, it means a couple of things. First off, a win and an Eagles loss would give Minnesota a first-round bye. Even if they don’t get a first-round bye, a win would definitely pick up the spirits of the players. Heading into the playoffs with a 3 game losing streak would be disappointing. I really think that Minnesota needs this game more than the Giants do.
    My Pick: Vikings

    Green Bay Packers (10-5) at Arizona Cardinals (10-5)

    This game would probably be a little more interesting if it wasn’t Week 17. Both of these teams have clinched a playoff birth. The Packers and Cardinals might actually face each other in the Wildcard round if the Packers win this game. If the Cardinals were to win, they would need the Vikings and Eagles to lose to clinch a first-round bye. If both of those teams were to win, Arizona would stay at the 4th seed. The Packers can either be seeded 5th or 6th as the Vikings already locked up the NFC North. Because of the situation with the back to back games, these two teams might rest their starters.
    My Pick: Cardinals

    New Orleans Saints (13-2) at Carolina Panthers (7-8)

    In two weeks New Orleans has gone from a possible 16-0 team to a giant question mark. It’s very disappointing to see the Saints struggling at this point in the season. Now they have to go into Carolina to face a team that has been red hot offensively. A big surprise has been the play of Matt Moore. In his last 4 games, he has thrown for 7 touchdowns and only 1 interception. Also last week, Jonathan Stewart ran for over 200 yards. We’ll see how the Saints do but in my opinion, what’s the point of keeping the starters in for the whole game?
    My Pick: Panthers

    Philadelphia Eagles (11-4) at Dallas Cowboys (10-5)

    There’s no doubt that both teams are coming into this game ready to go. For them, the playoffs start this Sunday. Neither of these teams wants to lose to their divisional rival. What’s at stake in this game? Well the Eagles clinch not only the NFC East division but a first-round bye with a win. If the Cowboys win, they clinch the division and can clinch a first-round bye if the Vikings and Cardinals loss. And just to add a little bit of fuel to the fire: Eagles Intro Video (Thanks to dawkinseffect for posting the video on the EA Forum)
    My Pick: Eagles

    My Other Picks

    Jacksonville Jaguars over Cleveland Browns
    Chicago Bears over Detroit Lions
    San Francisco 49ers over St. Louis Rams
    Pittsburgh Steelers over Miami Dolphins
    Atlanta Falcons over Tampa Bay Buccaneers
    New England Patriots over Houston Texans
    San Diego Chargers over Washington Redskins
    Tennessee Titans over Seattle Seahawks
    Baltimore Ravens over Oakland Raiders
    Denver Broncos over Kansas City Chiefs
    New York Jets over Cincinnati Bengals
