[@allenyahne705]

How come you can't see your record on Madden 25

[@HaadWick]

Eric you know you wrong for giving defensive tips right now, knowing there ain’t no defense in this game

[@jalenyates8933]

Pointless video….there is no defense in this game, period.

[@JesseJames-t3x]

Exactly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@teddylamar3190]

Yall just garbage ash

[@miltongreene4178]

My Madden doesn't Play all the commentators why

[@Willworld.]

The defense in this game is the worse I ever seen in madden. Mahomes was 15-15 for 300+ yards and 3tds by halftime when I played against him!! I just don’t understand why it’s so hard to make a decent game

[@jammnefu4950]

Sounds like you need to work on your defense

[@anthonyjones3835]

Was it against the cpu?

[@gerardolara4477]

I thought it was just me

[@JesseJames-t3x]

You can give all the tips you want, you can’t play defense in this game 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gerardolara4477]

Here I thought I sucked....lol

[@johncastrillon4866]

Haven’t played madden in about 10 years and decided to pull the trigger this year. Thank you for this because I am getting destroyed by the ai on all pro 😂😂

[@demarcusgriffin-dz4nb]

Thanks bro you really helped

[@TunjiFBaby]

Great video!! Valuable nugs

[@MikelJeanBaptiste-j7q]

Thank You Man For The Tips I Subbing Up Man Keep It Up

[@Nemacyst007]

I feel like these defenses run well vs human but vs the computer my secondary is burnt toast. No matter what i do.

[@nazinas21]

Same here! I can’t stop a nose bleed man! I get picks but QB’s throw for over 300 yard

[@anthonyjones3835]

How do you spotlight receiver? Or is that not a feature anymore?

[@KeltonAlexander]

Thank you

[@jgok5580]

Yo can someone plz tell me why in franchise mode, the players on my team with superstar abilities/x factors don’t show the abilities “lighting up” when activated.

[@courtneyhamilton9504]

I need help in MUT. My players never activate. But mfs start with Chris Johnson activated and he going crazy with that spin move

[@josuas4494]

Sometimes, it's one of the first paths in the oc talent tree and you can activate it by spending staff points on it.

[@PapasVillegas]

Why does some off the players just stand instead of going for the ball

[@TheSillyGoose96]

fr!

[@LetsGoPats]

EXACTLY

[@rong2909]

when everyone has to make a video on "how to play defense" and they're all different....hmm maybe your game has no defense...just sayin!

[@clydewalkerjr4274]

Great video man breaking down good concepts to build on and help with getting better at the game!!

[@FireHitsYT]

Thank you Ray! Defense been pretty challenging this year!

[@KaneThePain13]

Challenging is not the word I’d use. More like worthless. I don’t want to have to run certain plays to stop the cpu. I just want my players to try. Stop standing around or wandering around the field randomly. Idk who coded this game but they fumbled, hard

[@NolimitHawk]

Bruh am I a tryhard if I use coaching adjustment while playing against my cousin at his house or he bitching?

[@teavxyt4025]

It depends if he plays Madden or not

[@SaintIam]

@@teavxyt4025very factual comment but nah hawk it’s not try hard you just know yo shit people who don’t know things tend to hate on others who do lol

[@John-e7m3y]

Nah you just know how to play and he doesn't

[@Only_One_Veezy]

Cuzzo playing Madden; you’re playing Football.

[@joec4685]

Depends if you also teach him how to do it too otherwise you straight up dogging him

[@ShakeBake08]

I ran a mix of cover 3 and 4 with your adjustments and got 3 pics and the guy rage quited at the end of the third quarter😂😂

[@elstoner1]

Is the Army option a good playbook? If so how do I use it correctly

[@Captn94149]

Any word on the update ? 👀

[@Airjavi]

[@jamescollyer2936]

[@MrMan-ch6kd]

Should you put your safeties at sublb like in the previous madden?

[@EricRayweather]

Linebackers can jump well again so it's not as necessary to sub safeties in now.

[@TahreekBolton]

What I absolutely dislike about this Madden is that there is no option to turn off match coverage. I can’t remember which Madden it was, but you could turn match off and those plays would play as regular zone plays. I was playing 25 and realized that all of the cover 4 plays in Big Nickel and my 2-3-6 are match plays and I have my safety and CB chasing a WR, leaving the left side wide open for the WR or TE coming from the right. It’s so annoying.

[@syre8211]

press y/triangle and lb/l1 it cancels match

[@oliverfreeman3607]

That’s only playing the first down

[@iitzKB]

what playbook

[@TheSillyGoose96]

kc

[@davechapelle82]

Hi, i am new to the game. So what do i have to press to catch a pass in defense (interception)?

[@LetsGoPats]

Circle to change player then press triangle to try to intercept on ps, b and y on xbox

[@thomasfulton0505]

Thanks for all you do. Your time and effort are endless . You are appreciated.

[@yochief-wy6tk]

I’m In a 32 man league and EVERYONE just legit dumps its off 1 yards to RB or 2 yards to WR or TE

[@tonyoliver1982]

I need you to help me with my ultimate team. I do not know about the packs teach me how to build my ultimate team.

[@MrLebron1988]

These is a great video !! I buy madden every year and I just play . But definitely I just learn a couple of things . Thank you .

[@Dusnsudn]

Wat formation is da cover 3 sky nd hard flat?

[@tonyjackson5218]

Can madden please send the update out so superstar mode can stop freezing in the 3rd or 4rth quarter its been doing that since the release 2 weeks ago im trying to play an support if its still doin that when 2k25 comes out September 6th I may never turn madden 25 back on

[@NIKARAXHISPORTSTAKE]

I’m in Franchise mode and I have a top defense overall wise but we’re last in passing yards allowed need help please

[@NIKARAXHISPORTSTAKE]

@@dannynixon5045 frfr bro same thing happened last night I played Kirk Cousins and ATL he had like 105 passing yds going into the 4th ended up with 300 smh. You’ve gotta mix up your play calling. I normally use the nickel look and use like 5-10 plays from that formation

[@jmd1935]

Great information keep up the great content 🔥✌🏻

[@sinny_330]

anyone know about the error 112 in team builder. apparently its happening to alot of people

[@OGvCINDER]

What do I do against someone you is constantly blitzing. Every down they do it and it causes so many interceptions!!! This game is driving me crazy . College football I am pretty good but Madden I just suck

[@macosly1]

RPOs, flat routes, drag routes, blocking TE and RB. Also figure out if it's a man or zone blitz because every zone blitz has holes in the coverage typically wherever the blitzer is coming from. With man blitzes try zig routes or other quick man beating routes

[@OGvCINDER]

@@macosly1you do 1 on 1 coaching for money ???? I need help please I will pay. I have to beat my shit talking friends. I smoke them in college

[@spiggz5454]

I struggle wit Goaline they always blitz and I struggle getting a touchdown

[@jasonlinz2007]

They snap the ball on franchise to fast to make all these adjustments

[@solarcj9313]

[@gtrellshow7489]

Greta info as always 💯💪🏾

[@spcmegreg]

I’m sick and tired of Madden constantly trying to take away my user. I’m trying to go one way and the cpu keeps trying to make me go the opposite way. I turned off all the ball hawk settings. Still does it

[@victorragan]

I know we are mad about the defense but couple updates we gone be good

[@YAHdanYAHadan]

Where are the disguise coverage shells that EA said would be new in the game?

[@phillyfasa]

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Assuming that’s coming in the “update”

[@chuck99]

It’s in the game

[@sinaftw]

use right stick when picking formation it says shell at the bottom

[@YAHdanYAHadan]

@@sinaftw in franchise?

[@bmatt4489]

I don't see any yellow zones

[@dripguy5177]

Awesome amazing 👏

[@daronjackson6140]

Did u know rb stats and rw stats are flipped lol in franchise mode gotta be a glitch

[@Willworld.]

That’s when I knew the creators didn’t even try when I seen a simple mistake like that

[@daronjackson6140]

@@Willworld. the blocking and zone just messed the whole game up

[@putuonsmash]

These tips apply to every madden ever lol. You aren’t saying anything new

[@EricRayweather]

New to people who are new to the game.

[@lancelaube3233]

Why is the music sad haha

[@josephrobinson6215]

I guess I'm cheating because I went into setting and cranked it up.

[@thedemon2259]

Bro there's no tips for defense lol zones are bad man is bad stem glitches and judkins spin....

[@EricRayweather]

Those things will be patched soon, understanding the basics of defense will still help you in the long run.

[@DaltonHoit-qk2qx]

Dear Eric, When are they going to fix team builder? My team won’t upload because error code 112 saying “check your helmet.” Please help. Sincerely, Your loyal subscriber

[@emancash6743]

Bro literally can drop the same exact video every new game explaining the simplest stuff lol. Like man I been playing since 08 or 09 a lot of people don’t need to know how to pinch d line.. or what is cover 2 man lol wtf

[@emancash6743]

Label the video as “beginner tips” so the better players won’t click on this bs lol.. because of course it’s great for the new comers. But most people don’t need this

[@emancash6743]

It’s smart though by you but I was checking it out to see if maybe you had a sleeper tip for madden defense that I wasn’t aware of. But no you got someone over telling me what cover 2 man is lol.. I’m like yup I’m outta here of course.

[@EricRayweather]

Brother you do realize that's what "101" means, right? 101 is another way of saying beginner/basic. Yes I make these same vids every year, because every year there are a lot of new people who are getting the game for the first time, or for the first time in years and don't remember everything. There's a reason they do the most views, more people do need this than anything else. When I do "pro" or "advanced" tips, it'll be in the title.

[@ItsMasterLurk]

Bro doesn't know what "101" means.

[@reality3304]

Even Steph Curry practices free throws
