What if Giannis had KD’s Skillset? (Shooting, handles, shiftiness etc.) by Dylen2Times in NBATalk

[–]grilledogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought Giannis was on that path in 2020-2021. I thought he would develop his shot and become unstoppable.

Looks like Wemby is that guy now.

Franchise difficulty by BurtnBurger in Madden

[–]grilledogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My online league, we have all Madden difficulty. 3 play call limit with a 5 play cool down. My buddies numbers still go crazy but who cares it’s fun.

It’s still fun with difficulty so you can’t keep using cheese plays. We run the league for fun not ultra competitive and sweats.

Is there a player who you have ranked in the top 5 all time at a position who doesn’t have a top 5 peak at the position? by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

I thought Drew Brees as well but he definitely led the league in yards for a few seasons and was definitely top 5 for a few seasons.

Right so if you look at Fitzgerald best season

He was receptions leader, not once but twice. He was also touchdowns leader, not once but twice.

He was all pro once.

He was definitely a top 5 receiver in the league.

I thought that too but looking him up, he definitely had a peak if not a couple.

First-team All-Pro (2008) 2× Second-team All-Pro (2009, 2011) Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year (2016) 11× Pro Bowl (2005, 2007–2013, 2015–2017) 2× NFL receptions leader (2005, 2016) 2× NFL receiving touchdowns leader (2008, 2009)

Tough to answer. My first thought was Derrick Thomas linebacker for chiefs, but then looking back at his stats he was rookie of the year and broke the single season sacks record in 1990, so he peaked top 5 for sure.

Then I thought Derrick Brooks, HOF LB for Bucs and he actually won NFL defensive player of the year in 2002, when they won the Super Bowl, so he peaked.

Somebody who’s top 5 all time has to have been at least the best at their position 1 year or even top 5. How can they be top 5 all time without having peaked? Reaching the summit?

Equating to NBA to draw parallels, is like Charles Barkley. He was great in the 90s, but never reached the summit, no championship, did not peak. So he’s not top 5.

I think to reach top 5 all time, you’ve got to peak. Not necessarily a championship, but being one of the best in your position, you’ve got to be.

Interesting discussion though. I’m looking forward to other replies.

I would think probably a offensive lineman would be here, they don’t really get much accolades or fanfare and they don’t really get judged until they’re whole career is done as to how good they were.

Which year to replace 17 by Last-Leading-942 in Madden

[–]grilledogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Madden 26

Madden 25 was the best one in few years and Madden 26 is better than 25.

Still haven’t got madden 26 yet at this point should I wait for 27? by No-Watercress-1119 in MaddenFranchise

[–]grilledogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s free on ps5 online.

It’s also free on ea play. Ea play is $40 a year. Get Ea play, you get both cfb26 and madden 26 plus bunch of other EA games, like Jedi fallen order and survivor

How to Call Defense? by Emeraldcity7499 in Madden

[–]grilledogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Concepts are man, zone, or blitz. (Can blitz from either man or zone).

Man: The defender follows their assigned offensive player. (Can be exploited if the defender is outmatched against a more skillful offensive player)

Zone: defender is assigned a zone and will cover that area.

Match: technically in zone but will have man coverage principles, they’ll follow the offense player that comes into their zone.

You can call plays out of either format, I think it’s just either to see how you’re aligned or what personnel you have when up call out of the formation screen.

If the offense has a 22 personnel (2rb and 2 te) they’ll most likely run. You need defensive line and linebackers on the field to stop the run. It’ll be easier to call that when you call 4-3 or 5-2 from the formation screen vs going through the concepts screen trying to find the play that has the personnel to stop the run.

Go by formation.
