Madden Strategy

What is the difference between a Madden Strategy and a Madden Cheat?

There needs to be a separation of the two in the Madden community. Every Madden Strategy or Madden Cheat has been viewed in a negative manner by the sim community. The problem with that is that they are not the same at all.

What is a Madden Cheat?

Let’s first look at what is considered a Madden cheat. A cheat or gimmick is something that is used to exploit the game. This can be something as small as swapping in personnel out of position in order to create an unfair mismatch. It could be as flagrant as moving multiple defenders to create create a nano blitz. These gimmicks, published on the Internet as tips or strategies have blurred the line of what is a strategy and what is a cheat. These are cheats and need to be called what they are.

What is a Madden Strategy?

On the other hand, a Madden strategy is a plan designed to get you to the desired place, much like the definition of strategy. Nowhere is there a mention of shortcuts or cheats. You can’t have a plan and fast-forward to the end result. At Madden Guides, we try to teach real football tactics. We also show real schemes in order to build your knowledge of football. This will help you become successful no matter what version of Madden you pick up.

For example, the passing game has taken over real NFL football as well as Madden football. One of the easiest route combinations that beat both zone and man coverage is 2 vertical routes with an in or out route being run directly beside it. This is something that is used in all levels of football that also translates to Madden.

We would list this as a Madden Strategy as it uses real football tactics in order to get the desired result. Run the coverage off to get spacing for the In or Out route.

If you were to look up Madden strategy and find both examples listed, which one would you consider a Madden Strategy or a Madden Cheat? If you can tell the difference then you can see how we are unique in what we do and have always put your development as a Madden player in the forefront.
