The COMPLETE Guide To Defense In Madden 25!

[@jaydenjoyce1708]

This is one of if not the best madden video I’ve ever watched. Straight to the point helpful and simple. Outstanding.

[@lliw-a]

@civil Although other creators shed their own personal analysis and breakdown of their schemes, I’ve yet to come across one who holds the perfect balance of fundamental understanding of the game of football & a firm grasp on how to apply the mechanics of a football “game” to said understanding. I am a meticulous person and having your content to refer to when I’m in the lab microadjusting my own schemes is absolutely paramount to my ability to improve as a player and lover of the game of football and video games alike.

[@Tegrity_Marsh69]

Great video, completely changed my defense game. Do decent on offense but didn’t know what I was doing on defense, would only force 1-2 punts before and play as the DL the whole game or only play as the offense 🤣. First game after video I won 24-0 and held the other team too 133 yards. Much love

[@teedotfoster]

Honestly I never felt like the shades worked on the past & got cooked by corner routes. Now it actually works!!

[@brad4231]

How do I get my defenders to not play like total confused idiots?

[@czrolen]

tryna figure that out too

[@brody8857]

idk man. about 90% of the time my defenders stand there letting people run by them or just leave people wide ass open

[@kzpops2079]

switch stick

[@princewalker9090]

I haven't watched every minute of a youtube video in a while good job civ!

[@FalconsFanForever]

Awesome video bro

[@JaqkFrost]

I’m already a really good player but the last video I watched of yours was good enough to get me to watch this one and this is just good content. Good tips. Earned a sub!

[@Nightwing300]

Wow the user advice and this whole video was outstanding.

[@carterplaysmc2738]

I always match formations, it does make a difference on zone coverages.

[@YoungBoyBasketball]

Here first again, keep making amazing vids, hope we get to play once sometime ❤❤❤

[@theklllblll4617]

Earned a subscriber brother!💯

[@nyumahstewart9642]

FINALLY A GOOD VIDEO

[@Isaiahike23]

This was very informative thanks Civil.

[@Airhead21411]

Subbed.. Is there a video of the complete guide to offense in Madden 25? I couldn’t find it if there was

[@drizzle1934]

thank you broadie

[@Sydneyangel203]

After watching this video and messing around in practice I won my next game 24-0

[@gamingrest.1426]

And your a women so it must work

[@PlatinumHustle]

I make all my opps rage quit 🤣😈

[@j.pmorgan1294]

Thanks bro! This helped me. Won 6 games today Subbed

[@smashbrosradio9628]

Love this video bro..?tho can u hold sprint and use Y to make a pick at the same time?

[@nathanpotter4814]

Good Tips! Thank You! 🙏 You have another Subscriber. 🙂👍🏈

[@DStainJermaine]

Thanks for keeping the game simple

[@shordystarx]

playing cfb made me so much better at defense and football games overall somehow

[@reginaldsmith1556]

Great information I watched 5x lol

[@alonsor3019]

Hey Civil great vid, how come in some defensive formations such as double mug you can’t choose coverage shells in the play picking screen?

[@SCUMBAG-RAS]

Very helpful video definitely subbed to the channel… thanks 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@michaelbighomiephillipsjr]

I’ve lost 30 games straight because of defensive slip ups on the pass, hopefully this will help out thanks

[@TyboGames]

Really good video

[@shanes0f1y09]

Idk anything about football so all I hear is gibberish idk what to do

[@lioneldaniel9388]

Is it good to press in zone coverage??

[@WoodyBrandom-um4wn]

May be a bit question but how do you change players quickly. I’m used to having to press B repeatedly

[@expcpro199]

W vid as always

[@ministerofmotivation]

Thanks....how do we stop corner routes??? #FTA🎉

[@cameronconnery2080]

Do you have any tips to make the A.I. in Superstar mode more realistic? If you play as a linebacker, whatever team youre on will end up dominating the league in interceptions and sacks yet still somehow at the same time, also give up twice the number of passing yards as the next worst team in the league. It's idiotically bad. Like EA never even bothered testing it before they released the game. The opposition A.I. quarterbacks complete passes at an 85%+ rate.

[@Prod.Spongey]

What defensive playbook u have tho?

[@JustSomeDude2161]

can't even find the cov 3 buzz seam in the playbook database.

[@BradMah-u4g]

Ik you got a lot of followers but should I be guessing pass or run ever rly?

[@MisterCiv]

meh. stay away from guessing run. guess pass can be helpful, if you're correct. it helps your Defensive Line pass rush

[@tracyjones9934]

How can you see how many WRs the opponent is using before you pick your defense? It used to be intuitive in M24?

[@andrizzyv1817]

Why are you not playing the MCS tournament?

[@HarryJones-u6e]

What’s the best positions to use X factors on for off and def

[@beezo5832]

Obviously im not civil, but use rac em up and double me on ur WRs/TEs and if u can pro reads or gun slinger on qb, defense im not rlly sure

[@samuellindell7597]

🐐

[@arsenal_too]

🔥🔥🔥

[@needmahaters12]

Does this advice actually help? Bc Im struggling on Defense and hate this game and considering going back to Madden 24

[@fallott5600]

Oh my God i love you

[@MisterCiv]

Ily

[@mike2geeked]

how do u play match coverage

[@soundsnags2001]

Push O, R1, Square

[@jarodperkioniemi5372]

Why don't you User anyone on the DL? What's the reasoning for traditionally selecting a LB?

[@dkoda840]

To get turnovers, not get beat by play action, and to be able to use the switch stick.

[@Babyuzi24k]

Bro I been taking Ls all day 😢Im scoring points just not stopping nobody wtf

[@stxormy]

how is he showing his individual play art

[@JWhud]

How do you stop the one play streaks with tyreek and waddle

[@kloutfitness5548]

Get a safety over top

[@probl3mx435]

Another coaching adjustment video

[@blizzyb5892]

How do I stop the run?! I use the Seattle D playbook which may be the issue but anything short of play guessing the run I almost never get a stop. I press, play under, adjust my depths and still teams like eagles and Dallas tear me up

[@incomingdoge7407]

Pinch if think inside run play 4-3 formation and sub a safety in for a linebacker to keep pass defense ability

[@Madden010]

Can someone take a look at my resent live games and tell me what am I doing wrong in defense that leaves players wide open

[@Jhjiu]

Im trying to create my own play book. Where do I find cover 3 buzz seam??? I’m not seeing it in any nickel package.

[@Galacticos_07]

Colts d has it bro.. it’s Nickel over formation

[@JustSomeDude2161]

@@Galacticos_07 They must have changed the name of the play to Cov 3 Buzz Match Wk. I don't see Buzz Seam anywhere in any playbook, but Buzz Match WK looks the same.

[@buck3981]

Im playing with the Vikings and the playbook is super small and alot of the players have the same number smdh😂

[@Levi2koldLevi]

How do you only play defense

[@dashawnking2842]

how we suppose to do all this before the snap ?😂😂

[@antwanowens4013]

I’m coming from Madden 23 I skipped 24 but 25 is impossible almost to play defense I’m playing on rookie mode A base defense according to there offense and Justin fields are throwing ropes how is this possible

[@SaintDaSnipe]

Why can’t I see my run fits

[@NorvellStewart]

Is anyone experiencing any glitches during the tackle?

[@joshjacobs5725]

Can I just play madden? Why do I need to be an offensive or defensive coordinator to succeed in a video game?

[@soundsnags2001]

Just play the game then, nerd. Why come to the video instead of just picking up a controller?

[@chiefsguy7236]

There literally no defense in this game

[@probl3mx435]

Facts

[@petersenjoshua281]

i subed and liked for the bucs jersey even if its our worst jerseys

[@dustinmccarthy5172]

How are you using two controllers at once

[@teflonladon]

Cause he’s a god

[@southerng83]

Practice mode

[@dworm42o]

Good shit bro this is rhe most informative video ive watched on pornhub

[@cameronconnery2080]

I mean ... this sounds good, but it's still too advanced. What's the difference between a cloud flat and a hard flat? They look identical. A lot of us aren't Americans. And I assume most Americans don't even know these details about football defensive formations. What would be really good is a beginner-beginner's guide to playing defense. Like ... what are those three bars that say "speed" above the player's head? It's not explained in any of the Madden tutorials.

[@hiphopnewsdaily9016]

best defense i’ve seen, vote kamala 2024

[@walkergodeep1]

There is no defense in this game fuck EA

[@FalconsFanForever]

Jesus Loves you and have a blessed day.

[@MarcusRivera]

lol doesn’t help when you don’t put the playbook

[@MisterCiv]

It's all concepts brother, can be done from any playbook or formation!

[@chrisboblitt6103]

The defense in madden is so trash im down with this game

[@mawheer1]

How do you turn the chew clock feature while you're playing I don't see it

[@blockmonster8]

I believe when you get ready to call a play you push down on R3 and the option appears

[@williamwooldridge5987]

It is R3 “coaching adjustments” top option in that menu

[@williamwooldridge5987]

From play call screen

[@mawheer1]

​@@williamwooldridge5987okay thanks

[@bradleytressler2496]

You're explaining too fast 🤔!

[@ChicagoPatriot123]

Best defence vote trump 2024

[@blvck5365]

Damn the comment section campaign getting desperate, huh? Haha

[@DFatsaxx]

He sure does love the uneducated 😂. It’s “Defense”

[@madelinesimmons4038]

Yes sir!!!

[@Topagendadolla]

You mean defense you poorly uneducated trump stans

[@2kxTay]
