  • @sethgarrett8888
    @sethgarrett8888 3 місяці тому +116

    one good tip to help quick adjust is double tapping Y/triangle for corners, left dpad for d line, and right dpad for linebackers. This allows you to give individual adjustments without having to manually switch to each player. Great Video!

  • @PowerTorq
    @PowerTorq 3 місяці тому +26

    Suggestion: For me at least, it would be easier to see the adjustments and more of a run down of the defense in a practice mode. This would make it seem like more of an ebook which is easier to reference than in game showing. Just an idea I know that that's more time and effort but it would be so sick. LOVE THE VIDS!!!!!!!

      @KurtBenkert The way we are taught to train in the military for optimal information absorption is:
      Explanation,
      Demonstration,
      Replication.
      So if you explain a defense, show it in practice mode, then show clips of it working in real games, it'll be easier for people to absorb. Just FYSA in case you were curious how the military would do it!

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You do a great job explaining what you’re doing and the concepts/reasoning behind it.
    After being around coaches as a player and then as a coach for 20 or so years I’ve learned that quality teaching is rare and is a different skill set from just straight up X’s & O’s.
    Your stuff has been a big help in offense. If you can I’d love to see how you’d attack cover 4 mable, that particular D gives me fits online

    In madden, If one of my safetys has a back in the back ill walk him up over the center. one or two of the a-gap guys or edge rushers runs free cause the center looks on to your safety right over him.

    The only big weakness I've seen generally to double a style formations is that you can give up deep dig routes and deep crosses. But I mix up the blitz up the middle and cover 3 seam with man occasionally and I find great results

  • @halexviper
    @halexviper Місяць тому

    Nickel is just a really fun defense overall. I like to play out of 3-3, Dbl Mug, and 3-3 Odd. I've been trying to dip into triple as well, but it hasn't been nearly as viable. I'm basically a casual as well, so I've just stuck with what works. There are a decent amount of playbooks with those sets in them too. I've been using Baltimore's D

  • @BubbRubbington
    @BubbRubbington 3 місяці тому +1

    Is the application of this D self explanatory? I don’t have a great understanding of how and when to make the adjustments that you did. Is it as simple as just run zone / man depending on what’s better against your opponents preferred offense, just using this formation? Also do you recommend base aligning ?

    A defensive madden video that isn't Dollar 3-2? We're saved. All anyone uses anymore is Dollar, it's actually kinda crazy how good it is. Great passing defense, and it's entirely way too good at stopping the run for a 3 down linemen formation, with safeties at linebacker(how everyone plays it). It's symmetrical though, the spacing is good and it makes adjusting easier, so that's why people use it. But yea, first time I've seen anyone talking about double a-gap nickel. Good stuff.
