Winning in "Madden NFL 15" is not that hard -- if you play the game right.

Winning online against someone who exploits the game's glitches is even harder. Don't worry, though, because there is a way around that too.

In "Madden 15," you have to be a smart player. You have to mix pass and run as much as you can.

Sometimes you will encounter a player who does the same play over and over again. Recently I encountered a player who used the read option four plays in a row. After stopping him for a 15 yard loss on the fourth play, he stopped doing it.

It's important to utilize zone coverage, blitzes and QB spy to your advantage. If you have a quarterback who often runs the ball or utilizes a lot of rollout, put a spy on him on every play.

If you have a team that is passing all over you, play more zone coverage and utilize the dime defense to your advantage. 

If a team continues to use the hurry up offense, play after play after play, utilize your audibles to your advantage. Yes, your players will be tired but you can shift them around before your opponent can get the snap off.

On offense, utilize the middle of the field. Crossing routes and tight ends are often open. Get them the ball in open space and often they will get you 15-20 yards. Don't always look to go deep.

Running the ball is big. Make sure to use your tailback to your advantage. Yes, football these days is a passing game, but running still works and it is often rewarding.

Don't make poor decisions. If it's fourth down and you're not within field goal range, punt the ball. Play field position game and get ready to stop your opponent on three straight plays to make them punt.

Another thing: if your oponent often does unconventional things (like going for it on 4th and 14 from their own 15 or going for two when unneccesary), punish them for it. Play the game like it's meant to be played and you will achieve success in "Madden."

If a player is cheating or displaying poor conduct, you can report them on the pause menu. Enjoy the game and play it like it was meant to be played.
