This video should be required viewing for any Madden player that wants to play better defense. Ur analyses are easily understood, and a few viewings should help me to shore up my porous pass defense and exploit my opponent's defense. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m a member and why am I just now finding this video? lol. Even though I thought I understood all of this already, visually seeing it makes things make way more sense.
WOWWWW! I’ve been watching madden defense videos for the past week & a half - no exaggeration- that’s how I stumbled onto yours & this is hands down the *BEST* madden video I have everrrrr seen! 100% earned a sub from me.
Ditto the other comments. Thanks for putting this together. Really helped my football knowledge and could even help with Madden. Love the 'explaining football' content.
best madden videos hands down man. rather than making videos trying to break the game, you expose how madden doesn't give af about the coding...love it. keep it up
I would bro - I really love football . . . . but I really can't afford to have to buy another TV. I say that . . . not because I need a tv {I have one} more the rather, because I just know the more I play this game, the higher the chance that I will drive my foot through the TV after seeing some absolute bullsh*t transpiring on the game. These developers are a mockery to the game of football . . . literally the epitome of incompetence. Trust me bro . . . the more you learn of football, and how it's played . . . the more you will hate Madden.
@@XandoFootball I wonder if the devs will ever figure it out? Do you suppose maybe it’s still really difficult to simulate actual physics with coding even in this technology age?
@@trevorbridges6684 No bro. To me - it's pure laziness and incompetence - and that's just being nice. I actually am studying coding languages {Not because of Madden, but to jump into the IT field due to the job market} . . . and getting things wrong like "How Cover 4 palms should play against bubble screens" or " How players should align while playing cover 2 against closed 2 te formations" and many many more . . . is clearly a case of just not studying and understanding the game. It would be too easy to code when you compare it to all the other things they do in the game. Then too . . . this game has been in circulation for over 20 years now . . . And you still can't get BASIC logic right when it comes to defenses/offenses/ and etc?! Bro these guys are horrendous. It'd be different if they didn't have the tools . . . but they do have the tools to code the game right. I heard in some video that there is more computer power in today's smart phone that in the stuff used for the 1st moon landing. There is just no excuses for these guys.
@@XandoFootball please do us all a favor and develop a game when EA gives up some of its monopoly. Man, you would kill it. Your passion and knowledge would provoke such a good experience.
This is just how I view things . . . not saying it's concrete. . . Anything short like 3rd and 1 to 3rd and 3 . . . I'm playing man to man. - Cover 1 - Sprinkle in a blitz here and there. Zone to me is suboptimal vs short down and distances. 4-7 yards opens more up. A little man heavy on the 4 yard tip . . . but it spreads out evenly to zone/man/match/ etc the further you need to go. Obviously the down changes things though. 3rd and 7 is different than 2nd and 7 - along with the flow of the game and etc. 1st and 10 - 2nd and 10 . . . 2nd and 8 . . . Everything is in the repertoire. Depends on the opponent. 3rd and 10? I'm coming for that booty. Expect heavy blitz action - Cover 0 heat to see how you deal with it. Can't deal with it? It's going to come all game then. Better stay in manageable downs all game. Start showing signs of being able to manage the pressure - I'll show you the same look - disguise, and jump into zone, or single High man . . . etc. Possibilities are endless.
Hi, let's say we have a corner playing soft squat, that translates to man coverage like in your example versus the corner route. Is the ZCV attribute still the one that count ? Or the MCV is then the one taken into account ?
Base aligning is great if you want to disguise coverage . . . the weakness is not aligning properly in correlation with the defense called . . . but it's a small price to pay because the game doesn't punish you for it.
That ruins the defense for me because then no one matches in zone principals . . .it turns to spot drop coverages. Also, if you picked hard flat . . . you did it for a reason....you wanted the flats to be defended if someone attacks it . . . Picking hard flats to do that, then turning hard flats to 20 or 25 yards defeats the purpose, because now they aren't defending the flats. How about . . . Madden just fix their f**king game?
took my days to find a video exactly like this and i’m using it years later for madden 24 lol
BRO this is so informational not just as a Madden player, but as a Football fan! Thanks-.
Finally found a video actually explaining this stuff for grade a beginners thank you man I was so lost can’t explain how much I appreciate you 🎉
You the man bro I’m studying these videos. Class is in session!!!

Unbelievable bro you are hands down my favorite UA-camr, great work thanks so much

ii like how uu draw the arrows that's the shit Madden use to do when breaking plays down ima watch this start to finish good job mee guy 🤙🏿
the whole time I was playing the "game" like I used to. but seems like madden really stepped up this year. thanks
Man, you make me wanna go back 10yrs to play high school football 😂

Your the man no doubt 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽... please make that video where u get into what u would use in each situation
Hope all is well💯 You are awesome XandO
This vid is incredibly useful mate. As always, thank you very much for your great contents
Please don’t quit UA-cam dude
Much needed video thanks .
Wow great video
Please come back and keep teaching us. I hate that Madden has discouraged you.

You the truth bro
this video is amazing! simply amazing! keep dropping fire vids my guy. if you're ever down to lab, i'd be down forsure
Nice work. Maybe update for depth drop adjustment
DUDE GJ THIS WAS SO HELPFULL!!! UR AWSOME TY
Who would dislike this video?
God damn bro, this is the shit right here. Great tools for the job! You explained it too a T!
hey bro how do you know which players on the defense are the cloud flat, curl flats, etc. so you can manipulate the zones for an offensive play
Next level ish!!💯
This is very informative! Do you suggest using the zone drop adjustments or leaving it on default?
It depends . . . I typically didn't like the zone drop adjustments because it automatically takes the defense out of any man match principals in zone.
If I were to go by down and distance, which zone would you use? Say 0-3 yards, 4-7 yards, and 8 or more yards? In other words short, medium, and long.
This is just how I view things . . . not saying it's concrete. . .

Zone is used as he is in a zone, and when he transitions into man, man ratings apply.
How do you feel about base aligning your defense every play?
Base aligning is great if you want to disguise coverage . . . the weakness is not aligning properly in correlation with the defense called . . . but it's a small price to pay because the game doesn't punish you for it.
Very Helpful. 👍🏿
How do you set soft squats?
Put the drop zone on Hard Flats to 20 or 25 Y , then it will work
That ruins the defense for me because then no one matches in zone principals . . .it turns to spot drop coverages.
Also, if you picked hard flat . . . you did it for a reason....you wanted the flats to be defended if someone attacks it . . .
Picking hard flats to do that, then turning hard flats to 20 or 25 yards defeats the purpose, because now they aren't defending the flats.
How about . . . Madden just fix their f**king game?
@@XandoFootball lol they're not gonna fix shit when their making record profits from kids buying packs 😂. It's why they don't fix
@@joewilson4561 monopoly is the word your looking for.
Is this still accurate in m23?
yes. Concepts last forever in football.
If I was you I wouldn’t focus on shitty Madden and rather focus on the real game, the NFL and drop analasys on that like Jackson Krueger
I may do that - cause this game is ass
