I'd also like to add that there's also a "DB Fire" play in the "Dime 23 Will formation", which is in Buccaneers, Falcons, Giants, Jaguars, Ravens, Steelers, Titans. That formation also has a man blitz play "Zero Blitz" which is nice because it has 5 db's in coverage, vs "Spinner" which only has 4.

[@iamjstew___4473]

Do any of these formations also get 335 wide/cub

[@BungSmuggler]

@@iamjstew___4473 I know the Ravens does for sure, that's what I use. And Giants as well

I like how these supposed great call adjustments are just exploits for how bad Madden's AI is.

[@andrewsepulveda7735]

I always say. Madden isn’t football. Madden tactics and football tactics are two different sports

[@Josh-hr5mc]

The AI is atrocious

[@jimbojousa]

No tactics. Sad.

[@wb849]

Madden used to be fun. Now it's a geek game.

[@MoeTheDiabolical]

This is why running the ball and keeping your opponent on it's heels is important these so called pro's don't understand that you can't drop back all game long and get blitzed every play.

[@ChiefinPack]

Dollar has some of the best run defense plays aswell, you think these guys can't shoot gaps? 😂 They analyze offenses and defenses within seconds of the ball being snapped and readjust their gameplay every snap.

[@RANS87IROCZ]

They have nerve to message me stop running 😂 I reply when you stop running the meta cheese blitz I'll pass

So this is why I only saw DB fire 2 today…

[@joeperry2065]

If this were a good sim football game youd be able to go into goaline and easily run them over all day in this defense. So stupid.

[@jamessoroe5605]

2:48 About 75% of the time I'll peel back to guard the dig route (because the right read) and they'll stick with the TE lol

[@AlphaMandingo]

I use a 4-3 base defense. Cover 2 Man, Cover 2 Invert, Cover 2 Tampa, Cover 2. I rarely blitz. I have strength defensive lineman

[@sebastienlaforet8235]

I use dollar and 335 and i beat 95% of my games. I only loose against run heavy offense. Im talking no passes straight runs😂

[@QBxONxICU]

Solid breakdown Spruce

[@b.e.r.nnetwork8251]

When I look at Madden players I hate that their offense looks the same but having your defense look the same but actually making adjustments in my opinion is great defense.

[@Yahboyglobal]

Just ordered food and realized SpruceGoose dropped a new video! Can’t wait too check this banger out!

[@D865Mack]

I’ve been trying concepts like those but nobody online is going to give you enough time to make the adjustments

[@Jacob-fz6zx]

Please do a practice mode , breaking this defense down. For us paid members ( where we can the adjustments you make ) Truly be a blessing 🙌

[@whitebeaner13]

Just listened to you speak jibberish since I don't play Madden but I was fascinated!

[@lowkiii7789]

The crazy part about all these 🧀 defenses is that you can get them out of all that bs if you commit to a running heavy offense. Especially ones that have read option QBs. Mix it up with quick inside throws since most of those defenses shade outside and PA shots n you'll frustrate dudes that play like that.

[@jwatson181]

I am sure you would have beat him.

[@lowkiii7789]

@jwatson181 I mean, I probably would have. I've faced some top-tier cheese defenses in H2H n from what I saw, bro's wasn't all that. Runs n quick throws get dudes outta those defenses.

[@zenapllo5714]

How did was dez able to man up his outside linebacker to the slot receiver there was not controls for it ?

[@whogon]

Great videos but we've got to find a way to get rid of user from the MCS stuff

[@scorpio-yp3hu]

I know this is a different video but.... Can you or anyone help me how to read the defense when there in tight or close or compressed formations????? I already know for the most part in general how to read the defense when there in Bunch or off wk or spread formations which I find much easier for me..

[@scorpio-yp3hu]

@@thabruhfrom9444 I know how to read the defense better in spread then I can in compressed is what I said. But thanks anyways. I know about CB playing outside Inside or Even and post snap reads won't always be what you see pre snap I get all that.

[@scorpio-yp3hu]

And btw motion don't always work because they disguise there coverage so sometimes you think it's man but there in zone and vise versa... The only thing that's simple is 1 high safety there either cover 1 or 3 The two high safeties depends on the CB depths sometimes when you think it's cover 4 it can actually be cover 3 or 1 post snap because they close the middle of the field etc etc and also he can be cover 3 cloud or cover 6 so like I said I know how to read defense in spread like formations If I knew how to with tight sets I wouldn't of asked. Have a nice day tho

@@jesserimoniii6864 Like any PS4. The PS4 and PS5 games are very different. Most of the time, people who are struggling against the run in Dollar aren't on the next gen consoles.

[@fliptactics2524]

Agree

[@Josh-hr5mc]

See the defensive programming needs to be tweaked. Real life that was auto TD, the only Def player that would have had a chance would have been the users safety obviously but the defender started 10 yards or so away from the WR in man coverage and would have had to run across the field to cover a WR that would have auto adjusted into a quick fade route. If not a TD and easy guarantee 1st down
