Madden Hints

It's become commonplace for Madden enthusiasts worldwide to go in, pick-up Madden plus pick up the official Madden Strategy guide book. But imagine if we rewound the clock to a time when there were simply no strategy guides? Exactly how would anyone make it?

Well, not to long ago that's just what players were challenged with. From the beginnings of Madden the sole strategy guide was an insert which had each of the roster details and also ratings for each team. We can easily try to remember back to a period when the particular roster/rating insert appeared to be thicker than the game instructions and almost as valuable as the actual game. You would see fans making use of their sheet laminated to shield it from getting damaged and also soaked. Most of the data that we could get our hands on seemed to be on that ratings insert.

Due to the fact there was no real guides accessible to assist fans learn how to play as well as enhance their abilities within Madden experienced fanatics navigated the internet to find message boards where they're able to talk about and express thoughts on gameplay tactics. We'd access the Internet in a style similar to we do today with Google. The trick would have been to type in the URL field's Codez or Cheatz. In the past that had been how we would likely locate links to different discussion posts concerning video games. And then you would hope there would be a suggestion, hint or cheat regarding Madden, often times there weren't.

Then advancement hit the Madden network. For a long time Prima had been writing strategy guides for other game titles but not Madden. Once they released their very first guide (we think 2000) they paid attention to the outcry through the community forums demanding the ratings charts to return. Their particular guidebook would be a basic review of the game of Madden, while using the back of the guide focused on a list of all of the players in the game by position. This was an instant accomplishment and paved how for exactly where we're these days with just how madden information are provided.

In 2001 VG Sports was developed and launched what might be an eye opening strategy guide book that both recreational gamers as well as tournament gamers took notice of. The guidebook provided insight on advanced things within the game of Madden. One particular tip we supplied in those days would have been a way to throw a post route that could always get wide open because the referee would get in the way of the DB. The idea wasn't considered cheese, it was the first time which there were actual down and dirty Madden tips being supplied.

VG Sports started out providing content from three different points of views Kobra, Lou Tillery along with GametimePhilly vets Justin Cohen in addition to PhillyRon. Lou provided his infamous nano set-ups, Kobra presented his in depth player information as well as x's and o's insight while PhillyRon and Justin Cohen produced written content from exactly what had been becoming the toughest Madden crew in the country. By the end of their first season the foundation for VG were being established with content to come from Kobra along with PhillyRon for Madden as well as an additional article writer MadBomber designed for NCAA football.

For several years we have discovered possible talent and brought these individuals in to provide excellent content for our loyal fans. The beginning of a hybrid offense was born in VG Sports. Big B's Compression offense would be a combination of the West Coast offense with a Bunch or Tight formation look which is still utilized in Madden circles everywhere.

As all of us enter the new social media and motion controller phase of the game keep your helmets ready and your chinstrap tightened when we look to set the standard for Madden 12 hints once again.
