This is the best video on tips and tricks!

[@ericjohnson4877]

I have a helpful tip for reading the defensive coverage shell and using it for scheming your dropback pass game: You want to know before the snap the ball on a drop back passing play whether or not you can "block it up" or if you're "hot", because if you can block it up you can work your pass routes further down the field. If the defense is in a two deep safety shell, that means there's only 7 defenders that are either in the box or walked over the slot but still near the LOS. These are the defenders that have a short enough run at the QB that if they rush, and nobody is assigned to block them, the QB will be forced to have to get the ball out quick. If you choose not to assign a blocker to each of them, then whatever pass route concept you have called will have to include at least one "quick game" pass route to give the QB a quick option, like: -Slants -Stick -Hitches -Speed Outs -Fades vs press -Flats and swings by RB's and TE's Well, it's real common in the modern era of the spread to come out in a 3 WR set ("11" personnel). This means you only have 2 RB/TE types on the field. So, if you MAX protect, you'll be protecting with 7. This would mean that vs a two deep safety shell you would have all 7 hot threats blocked up, which in turn would mean that you don't need a quick hot option in your route concept. This is important because with 7 man protection you're only getting 3 routes out, you really need them stemming intermediate / deep / across the field to have the best chance at being able to stress the coverage. When you're not "blocked up", you have to sacrifice at least one route from the downfield intermediate/ deep route tree and replace it with a short route that can serve as a quick hot throw. Things change when the defense goes to a single high safety shell. Now there's 8 defensive hot threats to the QB. You need 8 in protection if you want to "block it up". The only way you can get this is if you go to a 2 WR personnel group ("12" or "21" personnel). If you come out in a 3 WR formation and the defense is single high, you're gonna be hot. If that logic makes sense to you, the same logic leads to the following rules of thumb: (Keep in mind when I say you're gonna be hot, it doesn't mean you *have* to throw the quick hot route. It just means there's going to be at least one defender that you'll have to identify as the unblocked "hot" defender, and *if* he rushes, *then* you throw hot. If he drops into coverage, you just complete your drop in the pocket and go through your normal downfield progression for the route concept you have called) - If you come to the LOS and the D is in a cover 0 shell, you're gonna be hot. - If you come out in a 4 or 5 WR set, you're gonna be hot - If you come out in a 3 WR set: .......and the D is in a single high safety shell, you're gonna be hot .......and the D is in a two high safety shell, you can "block it up" if you MAX protect - If you come out in a 2 WR set: .......and the D is in a single high safety shell, you can "block it up" if you MAX protect - If you call a play with Empty protection or audible to Emtpy protection, you're gonna be hot - If you call a play with 6 man protection, unless the defense is in a 3 deep safety shell, you're gonna be hot - If you call a play with 7 man protection ....... and the D is in a single high safety shell, you're gonna be hot ....... and the D is in a two high safety shell, you're gonna be "blocked up" - If you call a play with 8 man protection .......and the D is in a single high safety shell, you're gonna be "blocked up"

Great video. I've watched too many tutorials of commentary over people just playing the game and actually not describing any of what it is they are doing.

[@Tall6uy]

really appreciate that! my goal is to make things easy to understand so you can actually use the info!

[@PNSinstant]

Dude, thank you. I haven't played Madden or any newer games and one thing I will honestly say about cfb25 is they are TERRIBLE at explaining things you can do and how to do them to the player. Hell it took me like 15 minutes just to figure out how to pitch the ball during an option. Drills and training doesn't show anything. This video showed me almost every question I had on offense in an 8 minute video that I couldn't figure out in a couple hours of gameplay.

[@10MillzRecords]

@@PNSinstant I felt that, it seems like when I try to do a read option i have no control on wether the qb gives it to the hb or keeps it. I try to hold x to hand it off but he ends up keeping it 50% of the time

Nice! I need to find your video that does the same thing for madden. No clue what the symbols over the head were. I thought maybe qb reads, like m for man coverage or something. I don't know why these games don't launch with built in guides ... or why I can't find them if they do exist.

Dude, I’ve been desperate to find an explanation for all the icons displaying above the defenders. Thank you sir. Also, I’m assuming the numbers that appear occasionally are just the coverage shells the defense is initially showing? Obviously it’s not a guarantee with the ability to disguise coverages in this game.

[@JohnJackson-wc7bp]

Great job

[@dougcarll6830]

this was super helpful, thanks man! Does anyone know what the red exclamation point means over a defensive player (while you're on offense)?? Seems like this only appears when your QB is pretty high rated so I think it's tied to the QB's ability to read the defense.

[@Tall6uy]

That means the player is blitzing. It's something you'll only see if your QB has the "Field General" ability. The ability can be one of these tiers and that will determine what it does Bronze: When on schedule, moderate ability to see post snap blitzers Silver: When on schedule, moderate ability to see pre snap blitzers who are close to the line of scrimmage Gold: When on schedule, moderate ability to see pre snap blitzers and coverage shell Platinum: When on schedule, ultimate ability to see pre snap blitzers, coverage shell, and slight ability to see disguised coverages

@@Tall6uy awesome, thanks so much! that would explain why I'm only seeing it sometimes (I've been doing a million Play Now matchups while trying to pick an offensive playbook before starting a dynasty) great stuff man, thanks again!

So, the circles color under the linemen/ TE/ RB is what denotes the blocking match up to be advantage/even/disadvantage, not the color of the lines ?

[@caleb10jag61]

Or it is the lines? I’m just confused why vs Kennesaw state all of the lines where red for Ohio state

[@Tall6uy]

Correct. The weird part is the blocking matchups colors don't appear on the matchups tab of coach vision. you need to look at the blocking tab of coach vision to see that.

[@hurdleguy8014]

Question. When a WR has a multi stem route (a solid color route with a faded route stem off), does the computer just automatically choose which route to run? Or do I have to manually switch it for my receivers?

[@stephenwise2066]

I was watching my friend play and when the CPU was on offense, it had a WR running downfield with a (?) above it, what does that mean?

[@Tall6uy]

that means the stadium pulse has effected your QB and that player. So the offensive player would have trouble throwing to that player without his icon showing up. For it to happen to the CPU that means the CPU decision making is also effected.
