I've had success running a Sam Will blitz out of 4-3 vs 1-1-3

[@tyronehebron4306]

Dude, I won the AFC Championship game 62-10. I finished the game. The system wiped out my stats and and recorded a 10-0 loss for me!!! Pissed is an understatement. This game is an embarrassment.

[@johngray1066]

Wait. You said cover 3 was broken. Which should we avoid 2 or 3? Thanks for the videos.

[@gns4838]

All the tourney guys are running 335 wide and gun bunch offset. That’s how weak the game is.

[@kelvincarlisle75]

Great video bro! Any tips for a person that does no huddle all the time? Thanks

[@neogenesis0038]

My favorite defensive play is when the Defender phases through the Wide Receiver to intercept the ball.

[@PhillyFunk]

Lmao

[@gabethagreattmc2125]

i hate that animation

Madden in a nutshell

[@jasonboswell483]

🤣🤣🤣

[@rhyiaremckinzie5211]

That’s just good defense bro

[@ysl4443]

I’ve never been this bad on defense ever. I can barely get stops. Tackles are easily broken, and my user drops game changing picks, or my defense in general. But my opponent gets ridiculous plays.

[@LetsPlayIt]

Started this week for me Ngl my nickel set up wild I got 94 Ramsey he get dusted by alworth 🥵

[@christianbauer4858]

Same here my defense has always been a strength of mine especially over the top now I give up everything patch this up Madden

[@sawyerfranks8265]

Try holding square on PlayStation or X on Xbox to secure tackles 90% of the tome

[@youraveragemango8671]

[@torreybrown5115]

I think it's the game

[@zstork]

This was an excellent video. I got more from this video regarding Defense than I have from many other videos. I’d like to thank you for the time and effort that you put in to make this such an outstanding video.

[@stevenbrown1168]

This video is just what I needed. Definitely a nice starting guideline video.

[@jayjones5832]

They need to fix the tackling on madden 22 the fighting for yardage is ridiculous a d when u tackle u get to flyin all over the damn place

[@agustinhuicochea9121]

Fr the defense is garbage, I literally rush my linebacker and its not the same

[@jblizz803]

Yup. 200lb backs routinely running through 2 or more 300lb linemen that have them wrapped up smh

[@bobwatkins8216]

I love Eric's content there's not a lot of BS there's not a lot of hype just straightforward give me the facts. I have found that the games glitchy. If I play someone who hasn't played a lot or who has a losing record that I know the game is going to be in their favor but that's okay it's still a fun game to play occasionally

[@raptoryeltz1754]

These videos are excellent! Thanks for the tips, and keep smashing it! 💪

[@Jakes2hot]

Great stuff bro! This is exactly what I needed. This will make life so much better. 👍🏽👊🏽

[@user-do4ki3vo2p]

The only madden I ever played was madden 20 on PS3. So I just bought madden 22 on PS4 & I was lost af tbh until I found your videos bro. I love this game & I'm not American but I feel there's so much to learn on it & I need videos to take me step by step. Thank you for these tutorials though.

[@mingleboi7833]

Thanks for helping me understand defense more. The nickel & dime explanations were really helpful to me. I never knew wtf those were called that.

[@thesmoovest]

This breakdown is perfect. Very helpful overall. Needed this for sure. Hopefully i can implement it into playing squads with my bros. Lol

[@dlane62598]

Watched the video when it first dropped I can honestly say my defense has got way better then how I was playing before ! Thanks bro❤

[@danielhibbard213]

this is the best explained defense on KZbin. You have a great way at simplifying things. i appreciate it

[@antwuanm]

Good breakdown

[@ILoveStitch789]

Thanks for posting this. I'm amazing on offense in madden, but when I play defense, I sometimes end up screwing myself over and when I lose, it's cuz I don't know to pick the right defensive play. I usually go for a blitz and eventually the CPU catches on

[@antoinewilliams7084]

[@AnthonyWalkersound]

Good stuff.

[@RoyAlWhicheez]

I used to run a madden league with over 20 people and it made me stop enjoying the game. I haven't played in over 8 years until now and this was exactly the kinda stuff I needed to watch to get back into the game so THANK YOU sir

This was good but way more than I was looking for. Just started playing and was trying to find out how to make my players actually catch these EASY interceptions lol

[@superepicpro1651]

My friend is able to beat me with the underneath routes and some man beaters like table routes so this helped

do you know how to get Kam Chancellor @ MLB in the 43 Even 61 Defense? I saw a plyer with this today!

Have u or can u make a video of the different sets of formation for example when u play a 3-4 defense there's different types to select under over odd even what does all that mean when I look it looks like the align different but what are the purpose of them ?

[@anthonyparker8980]

What defensive play book was you just in because I love the big nickel but I also want the other nickel variations

[@bubble3434]

What is zone chucking? Also, what is a press or bluff play? Does that mean that the players automatically bluff a blitz or press?

[@weekendchillmode9910]

Lol just watched the 21 video, thought it was for 22! Part 2 video on defense controller/skill move mechanics?

[@IDontlieatall]

What about a speed wr? A post or fly route? What defense to stop that since Madden hasn't updated yet

I use Washington when I am playing online and I throw a lot of int's. Any suggestions you can give me that will help me to keep from throwing int's?

I just need help on how to adjust my defense when they are hurrying up offense and audibles it takes long to double cover and switching defense how do I adjust quickly before they snap the ball ?

Does this work also doing solo challenges

[@samiamcolesioe2469]

Remember Eric to tell your listeners to change the turn the camera settings off to use the dpad

[@goldrush49]

What tips do you have when I’m on the cornerback and I’m in the hip of the receiver and he glitches through my body to catch the damn ball!!!!! ?

[@motodrummer]

Is there a practice mode in this game? This is my 1st madden and it is busy as hell

[@michaelivoryjr2669]

Can you do some special teams videos?

[@Happyland_Motel_Gamer_Cat]

I'm learning the rules of NFL and Madden - Can the AI team choose their own randomly generated play, when reacting to the players team positioning before a play? - Is there a AI vs AI mode? where you can Set up both teams and then watch the outcome of the plays of the match.

[@amariofleming5232]

I just love when a deep ball is thrown 1 on 1 and my user defender runs to the ball and then can’t jump or play the ball so he just stands there till the receiver catches it so I can then attempt to tackle and still manage the get shrugged off😌

[@vikunfazed4269]

hold triangle / Y to int?

[@bw8956]

What's the best default playbook

[@gns4838]

Eric- 3-4 works vs 3-1-1 and some 43 do too.

[@clemondbrown]

How does defender high point the ball more than receivers? They dive instead of jumping up?

[@commander0343]

How did you not have to spam O to get to the safeties before the mid blitz play? @12:05

[@icup2260]

How do u get those weird looking zones that's not a filled up circle?

Is there a way to get my playbook to look the same visually as yours?

Use your nose tackle and after the ball is snapped, do a bull rush. That’s the only thing that’s worked for me. Doesnt work all the time.

The RB is wide open on nearly every passing play. Would be good to see you man him up with the WIL LB or DE. Anyone decent would hit that checkdown non stop. Enjoyed the video though bro keep it up.
