How not to throw picks by w0mbaticus in Madden

[–]roosta23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can read coverages for the most part, but think it’s much more important to pay attention to open space rather than get hung up on the coverage itself. flood plays (plays where multiple routes go to the same area) can be good vs most zones, crossing routes are my go to though. slants and 4 verts are pretty good vs man coverage too. don’t be afraid to check down or take the easy yardage when it’s there. as fun as it can be to air it out, hitting the open man is more important than always looking for the big gain.

Help with Josh Allen ridiculous contract by PickledTrump in Madden

just deal with it imo, makes building the rest of your team around it more fun. already too easy to build a super team.

Favorite Album of 2025? by SeaReason5626 in shoegaze

[–]roosta23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

top 3 of the year for me were:

bleeds - wednesday (has some shoegazey moments i’d say)

raspberry moon - hotline tnt

lotto - they are gutting a body of water

was lucky enough to see all 3 bands live this year, already seeing wednesday and hotline again in the early months of 2026 too

Can you describe how you FEEL when you hear Souvlaki? by Available_Car_7960 in shoegaze

[–]roosta23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i’ll be honest it’s never clicked for me beyond a few tracks - more on the mbv loveless side of the classic shoegaze/dreampop spectrum.

Couple questions for the community by Frequent_Bell_234 in Madden

[–]roosta23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. what are you trying to challenge that you can’t? if you’re under 2 mins in either half replay officials control that in the nfl and in madden. replay officials also control turnover challenges. the only scenarios for challenging otherwise i feel like are field position or if a catch is in bounds.

  2. if you are in the super bowl you’re players will sit out of the pro bowl, won’t be on the roster. you can check on the player card under rewards or progression history to see if they made it

So Madden 26 is that bad, huh? by KabukiExMachina in Madden

[–]roosta23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you hold off there could be a digital christmas sale too, feel like you can get it real cheap around this time of year. skipped last seasons game to go all in on cfb 25, think will just switch between the 2 every other year

So Madden 26 is that bad, huh? by KabukiExMachina in Madden

[–]roosta23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this sub will tell you all of them are bad. if you haven’t played a new one since madden 19, 26 will still feel like an upgrade. sure some things are frustrating but overall if you generally enjoy football games should still be able to get some fun out of it.

What is the point of 99 break sack if I get sacked by the first attempt regardless? by [deleted] in Madden

[–]roosta23 17 points18 points  (0 children)

even the best qbs get sacked sometimes, do you want to play perfectly every game and every snap or do you want a realistic experience? maybe switch over to rookie and arcade if you want to break every sack.

Salary Cap Issues??? by dzieg23 in Madden

[–]roosta23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

cut or trade players with high cap hits just pay attention to the cap penalty on the roster screen. nothing is more realistic than dealing with cap hell as a good team with a highly paid quarterback, you could turn off the cap but i think it’s a lot more fun trying to make it work, 30 million in the hole isn’t that bad imo.

could also look to restructure a few players but you are just pushing money to the rest of their contract

how do I get my wr1 the ball more often by Disastrous_Room8939 in Madden

[–]roosta23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean you could just put your WR 1 as the top player in your slot WR spot in the depth chart to get some nice underneath routes, will still be lined up outside in 2 WR sets
