4 OFFENSE

On offense, the object is simple: Put the ball in the end zone. But, the defense is doing everything it can to stop you.The offense needs to perform like a well-oiled machine to get past the defense and in for the score.

TIME OF POSSESSION

Time of possession is a big key on offense. Scoring drives of 80 yards in one or two plays are great when your team is behind, but you need to burn the clock when you are ahead. Every time you're on defense, you're giving your opponent an opportunity to score. Take your time and run the clock. By running the ball, you'll move the ball upfield and keep your drive going.Ten-play drives eat up significant portions of the quarter.The other team can't score if you don't let their offense onto the field.

Your time of possession will increase and you'll Grind it out to come out on top. limit the time your opponent has to score.

PLAY SELECTION GAME PLAN Each team in NFL 2K3 has its own playbook, so take advantage of it. If you call the same plays over and over, your opponent will catch on. Keep the defense on its toes. Pound the ball on the ground early. Have you been running the ball on first down for the last three series?

READ THE DEFENSE

The worst thing you can do as an offensive coordinator or is force the ball into a bad situation. As much as the defense is watching your play selection, learn to read the defense and figure out what plays they are running.Where is the safety playing? Is he double-teaming the receiver on the left side? Better not throw to that side. Is he playing centerfield? Throw it to the outside or he'll run up and swat down any pass you attempt in the middle. When you break out of the huddle and approach the line If the safety is playing loose in the middle of of scrimmage, look at how the defense is set up. If you've the field, throw it to the outside. called a Sweep to the right and the defense has two and the safety lined up on the right side of the line, you're in trouble. Before you force a bad situation, call an audible.You can't do any worse! Try to turn a negative situation into a positive. Set up your audibles before the game with one pass play, a run to the left, and a run to the right.You can deal with any situation the defense throws at you.

TIP

Know Your Personnel Do you have a speedy ? Call plays that get him outside and around the corner. Use his speed to your advantage. Do you have a power back? Call plays that slam the ball up the middle. Use his size and power to knock over the defenders. It makes no sense to pound the ball up the gut with a light, speedy back—he'll wind up getting hurt.The same holds true for a power back. Don't send him on Sweep and Toss plays to the outside—the defense will get to him before he can turn the corner. If you know your personnel, your offense will click and you'll be moving the football on the ground. Put a speedy running back and a power back in the same backfield.The defense won't know if you're running outside or plowing it up the middle.

TIP

Set Your Feet! Before you throw the football, set your feet! Most NFL quarterbacks don't throw accurately on the run, and they definitely can't throw across their bodies on the run (running one direction and throwing in the opposite direction). Before you hit the pass button, ease off the directional control (be it the D-pad or the analog stick) and your quarterback sets his feet.Your completion percentage will go way up.

The receiver looks open. Don't take forever to get him the ball…

Don't throw the ball on the run… …the pass will be off the mark and incomplete.

…because the defender has noticed him running free and has closed the distance to knock the ball down. Ease off the D-pad or analog stick and You'll be amazed at how much better your quarterback will set his feet. your passing numbers will be.

SAY WHAT? SAY PLAY!

When you look through the offensive playbooks, you'll see some confusing play names. Confusing, if you don't know the code. Here's a breakdown of what the numbers mean.

50: If the play starts with a 50, it means the quarterback will take a five- to seven-foot drop before passing the football. Make sure your offensive line is giving good protection before you call a play that starts with a 50.They need to hold off the defenders long enough for the play to develop.

90: If the play starts with a 90, the play develops quickly, as the QB takes only a three-step drop. Use these plays when the defense is chewing through your offensive line or when the defensive backs are playing deep.The ball will be out of the quarterback's hands before the defense knows it.

100: If the play is in the 100's, it means Play Action Pass.A play starting with a 122 means it's a Play Action Pass where the fake is a 22 Iso Run. Play Action Passes work well when the defense thinks you're going to run the football. Don't call the Play Action Passes in obvious passing situations because the defense won't bite on the fake. If you've been running the ball a lot on first down, try a Play Action Pass the next time you have a first down to gain considerable yardage.

200: If the play is in the 200's, it means the play features a Bootleg or Rollout of the quarterback. Use these plays to get away from a pass rush. If you have a fast quarterback who likes to get out and run, use these kinds of plays to get your QB involved in the ground game.

You can see the play and through any of the hundreds of plays in the find out what hole you are playbook—take advantage of this.

MULTIPLAYER TIPS

When you are playing against a human opponent, rethink your strategies a little. Human opponents are more apt to pick up on your tendencies.Are you running too much on first down? Have you fallen in love with a particular play? If the answer is yes, a human opponent will pick up on it quickly. Be unpredictable. Keep the defense guessing. Keep the pace of the game high. How do you do that? Use a no-huddle offense.When the play is over, get your team back to the line of scrimmage. Call an audible (or set a hot route) quickly and hike the ball.The defense can't switch in different formations (Nickel, Dime, 4-3, etc.) without burning a time out. Set up your audibles to use the same formation (or possibly two formations) for all of them. If you use too many different formations the defense will know what play you're calling by how you line up.

When you're playing against a human Call the play too many times in a row and your opponent, vary your play selection. opponent will figure it out.You'll be looking at an incomplete pass or an interception.

Use audibles to keep the defense guessing. Move the ball down the field.

14 DEFENSE

In 2000, the dominated the league with their smothering defense.They kept their opponents out of the end zone and put points on the board from touchdown interceptions and recoveries.They accomplished this with the talents of standout players such as linebacker and sound fundamentals.They stopped the run, tackled well, and put immense pressure on the QB. With a little practice, you can be that good on defense too. Brush up on the basics in this section. Check out the "Teams" section for a breakdown of your team. Each team's QB reacts a little differently. In NFL 2K3 their individual tendencies have been programmed into the AI, making your task harder.

BASICS

Stop the run. Deny your opponent a running game and he or she will face a ton of third and long situations. Pressure the quarterback in certain passing situations. If you don't get the sack, you'll make the QB get rid of the ball before he's ready. Hurried quarterbacks make mistakes—they throw into double coverage, give up an interception, and under- or overthrow the receiver.

TIP

When selecting a defensive player at the beginning of a play, stick with a defensive lineman. On rare occasions, take a linebacker.The linemen have one : Get in the backfield and get the sack or the running back. Everyone else on the field has an assignment. If you take them away from their designated coverage, you could leave a receiver open.

TIP

Another way to get into the backfield is by calling a blitz. Overload the offensive line by giving them one too many people to block.Take control of the blitzing linebacker or safety. Line up between two of your linemen, and either you or one of the linemen can fight through.

Line Shifts

Want an extra advantage? Try a line shift. Your linemen move either left or right.This gives you a slight advantage, as your players line up offset from their offensive counterparts. Defending the Run We mentioned earlier that the key ingredient in a successful defense is stopping the run. Now that you've learned some tips for getting into the backfield, let's apply them in stopping the run.

Swatting Down the Pass

Sometimes just your fingertips grazing the ball can make it take a funny bounce and the pass will fall incomplete.Try to swat down the ball when the quarterback has underthrown the receiver or when you've got multiple defenders covering the offensive player.

Throwing into triple coverage is never a This receiver looks open, but he's not. Once good idea on the offense's part.Turn to the you see the ball in the air, get control of the ball before you jump to defend the pass. closest defender. Close the distance, turn to the ball, and jump to knock it down. CAUTION

Once the ball is in the air, switch from a lineman to one of the defensive backs to make the play. Stop and think:When you're rushing the passer, which direction are you running? Down toward the quarterback, right? So if you quickly switch to a defensive back, which direction will he run? Down and away from the receiver if the analog control is still held down. Before you switch to the defensive back, make sure the analog control is centered or moving in the opposite direction so your defender sticks with his receiver.

Interceptions

Nothing changes the game's momentum like a turnover. It demoralizes the offense and pumps up the defenders.You can score like the powerful 2000 Baltimore Ravens. Get between the receiver and the ball and it's off to the races. Going for the interception is always a gamble. If you miss the ball, the receiver will be wide open.

There’s a special kind of sack called a "coverage" sack.The offensive lineman can stop your defenders for only so long.

Dislodging the Ball from the Receiver When the offensive player gets his hands on the ball, it isn't a catch yet. If you time it just right, a powerful tackle or dive can dislodge the ball from the receiver's hands.Timing is critical. If you run at the receiver too early, you'll get called for a . Start too late and you'll miss the receiver.As with going for an inter- ception, make sure you have deep help before you try this maneuver. If you miss, he has a shot at a big play. Defend the pass by tackling the offensive The defender didn't have possession long player just as he catches the ball. enough for a valid catch. Be careful though. If you get there too early, you'll get called for Pass Interference, an automatic first down. FORMATION, LINE PLAY, AND COVERAGE

Defensive play calling is a little different this year. First, you call your formation. Most teams have four to six defenses to call from— formations like 4-3, Nickel, Goal Line, and Dime. Once you've got the formation called, select your team's line play. Do you want your defensive linemen to do a stunt? Do you want one of the linemen to drop back into coverage? This is where you make that choice.The last decision is what coverage to use. For the most part, your defenders are either in man-to-man, zone, or a combination of the two.
