How to Play 10x BETTER DEFENSE in Madden and College Football 25

[@jeffwilliams2828]

Thank you. I’ve been trying to see run fits for at least two years now

[@codegaming_yt7704]

Didnt know this was a thing. And im pretty solid

[@HitManJavi02]

So glad I found this video. I didn’t even know about run fits

[@lenknox23]

Its hard to make necessary adjustments at the line because ppl snap so quickly u dont have time to do it and u can get caught clicking on a player u dont want to be controlling now your entire defense is thrown off

In cover 1, always shade outside and user the middle, but if your opponent is sending multiple routes over the middle shade inside.

[@thabruhfrom9444]

Nah, don’t shade inside, just put a hook curl out there.

[@RexesSports]

I didn't even know you could look at the run fits and I've been playing sknce madden 17 😭

[@TheBigZoyZoyMr.Schwifty]

Something I never get is when I move a player and switch to another defensive player the original player I was on always run back to the spot they were before I moved them. So it’s harder to keep the run fits

Definitely be careful with your defensive pre snap adjustments bcuz the switch stick mechanism is wild. It’s useful but hella annoying.

[@Hombre_Astuto]

You can switch stick by pressing b in any direction also. That way you can switch off a pass rusher

You're 100% right! Sometimes its a little wonky doing this though and you don't always get put on the right guy.

[@greglutrzykowski6746]

first time here and this vid was fire… what defensive playbook would you recommend in cfb?

[@Swolosimo]

Probably 4-3 Multiple and run the formation 4-3 even 6-1

[@arbashar_]

how do you create the lock the feature? even if i man up on the rb, i can still move my user and regardless of a setup, i cant move any player when the audble menu is up. So i dont understand how that is confirmation. Also the zone drops dont work for me, so i use cover 3 match and leave it at default

[@BlueCheese_DMV]

Never knew about the flip stick, I’m a franchise player and I play on all Madden. Defense is hard to play at times

I agree with you, but in football games that’s not the case.

[@treyaintserious]

@@Swolosimo you where aligning with 2 high safeties against a condensed set where they are gaining extra gaps. Fact of the matter is, cover 3 gives you 8 man spacing against the run in real life and in game

[@malikthomas299]

Its a game lol

Cover 3 definitely is a good run defense in the game. All I run is 3-3-5 stack Cover 3 match and adjust out of that depending on what I see.

Disguise your coverage. You don’t gotta do all that weird nerd extra stuff. Like cover two invert looks like 3. Mix in a man blitz but make the shell cover 2 etc. a good cover two is your base d. People ain’t running like that. Defend the pass first.

Setting curl flats or really any zone does not matter due to custom stems on offense

That’s why you got to learn match defense.

[@neko9159]

Run fits don’t help, learn what plays have run fits. He’s them and focus more on numbers and even numbers.. the user hovering over the line and not getting blocked is the best thing you can do. Run fit will actually bite you in the ass against a good runner like me. Bring your safeties down. Keep them 6-10 yards back outside the Tackles and user the middle. 18-2 mut champs, 15-1 ranked, 30-5 solo, 9-1 gauntlet. Take the advice. 😘 I’m just tired of hearing about run fit …. Knowing what play has run fit is all that matters

This is why you can’t listen to these guys. Cover 3 is a run defense. You have more guys in the BOX. YOU ARE IN THE VIDEO. SHOWING A 2 high look. But running a cover 3. There not in the box. Anybody with football knowledge saw it soon as you did it. I stop the video. I was done. Couldn’t listen anymore. 😂

[@jamestrent8949]

The point is that madden isn’t a very well made game when it comes to real life NFL defenses and performing correctly against real life NFL offenses. The guy in the vide is telling you what actually works best in game although 3 months ago. Changes have been made with updates since then, but I am fairly sure the guy in the video is still right about what defenses work well against what offenses in the madden 25 football video game. It often doesn’t correlate to real world nfl football and that is why EA needs to make so many fixes/adjustments with respect to how each defense performs overall against each offence.
