This is really helpful, especially running a QB Spy with my DT forced them to not throw over the middle and throw a pick on a crossing route, thank you for these tips you 🐐
Bro!!! I really needed to hear tip number 2. I was getting so frustrated recently at how my 96 overall secondary players cannot guard short or deep on any given play. I suck so bad at defense this year
Great video Eric!! Quick question. If I sprinkle man coverage in now and then and I shade underneath will the defenders play man coverage underneath or does the defenders man coverage stat override that and just play at his ability??
Great video! Do you have any advice for when people run double-crosser routes. So many times I play someone and I can't manually card both of them and they just pick whichever one I don't. Is there a coverage adjustment that I can make? Even cross Manning my safeties doesn't seem to help
@@joebrock2395 how do you adjust the rest of your coverage considering the safeties typically help with stuff over the top? I don't wanna get burnt deep down the sideline or over the middle
Brian Smith in Big Nickel over G, i put my CBs in deep halves, cross man the safeties, put LBs in cloud or hard flats, and user the nickel safety. That set up locks the typical Pats Sail with the deep crosser. Most other plays don’t have 2 crossers, so as long as you have the slot receiver cross manned, you’ll never get beat over top
Jakob Koenig me too. I use one a lot too. Especially when ppl try to run on the ppl like Golf or Wentz. I be hitting them when they rollout waiting for they receiver to get open.
Well if you were paying attention, I was showcasing how the zones work to stop certain routes. I'm not going to take off with Wentz when I'm allowing the zones to develop for demonstration purposes. In a real game just throw a dlineman into a spy, problem solved.
i beleive it's consistent cause LB's have vert's of 9 feet and a wingspan of about 28. And they can catch tyreek hill from behind in the legend gauntlet solo. it was a fun one. Good Info though bro, always do an amazing job explaining things to idiots such as me. :)
BiggZae Beats cover 3 In general is a zone defense. Cover 1 is the man version of cover 3. They’re both single high safety defenses. In cover 1, the free safety roams and helps anyone who needs help while everyone else is playing man. In cover 3, your 2 outside corners and free safety are playing deep routes, and your linebackers play zone underneath and your strong safety play the flats
What about playing all madden cpu why does it feel like they call the exact play to counter your defense and why does it seem like they throw the ball faster than human you have less time to react to get picks
Hey Eric, When I send the QB spy to get the QB and I’m usering a linebacker I get a funny hit stick animation and my linebacker falls to the floor. Do you know any way to avoid the linebacker falling?
I don’t know if it’s the best defense, but Tampa 2 was getting torched in a game this weekend. I switched to Cover 4 Drop with press and shade underneath. Seemed to do the trick. Got three interceptions after that.
Dope video. This may be asinine but have you ever put more than 1 DL in spy? I almost never get pressure and I'm not a blitzer. So more in coverage is my thoughts. Thanks!
When I see guys have their DTs or even have 3 out of 4 down lineman spy to play pass coverage I take it as a joke because that shows me you can’t play. You can’t cover so you have to resort to unrealistic tactics to stay in the game it’s crazy
It's a shame EA Sports took away player rankings in Madden. Haven't been into playing the game ever since & i have over 360 wins. Way to drive away one of your most die-hard fans, EA.
More like right around 305 losses. I was well over .500 and ranked in the top 500. All that hard work and grinding just for EA to take away my ranking.

So when is it beneficial to shade P.C. inside or outside ?
They need to fix the linebackers being able to jump 18 feet in the air.
Nah
they did now
When people do qb spy on me via calling the same defensive plays or manual doing so, I often run right at it and gain a nice amount of yards.
Lions playbook DEFENCE, Chargers playbook OFFENCE. I am 18-0 Competitive. 3-4
Stock cover 9 will defend trips te crossers.
Or you adjust the outside cb on an outside third,the right safety on an outside third and the other safety on a deep half and user the other crosser
Good Tips. I am definitely guilty of not using my Hard Flats effectively and frequently.
U should give the cons for people who don’t know them like qb spy r horrible for d linemen on a run because they get pancaked instantly
I got 8 interceptions on that QB spy with Aaron Donald
At 10:07 bullet the ball to the tight end to his left to direct him away from the deep corner
Bro!!! I really needed to hear tip number 2. I was getting so frustrated recently at how my 96 overall secondary players cannot guard short or deep on any given play. I suck so bad at defense this year
Really wish I knew you. I'd just like to talk with you about madden and different questions I have. Love your videos .
Great information I’m do this
Cloud flats def broke
I suck on defense
hopefully this works i been noticing players have been running drag and in routes when i eliminate the deep ones. thanks for the tip
Will that goal line defense “ gaps all” for QB SPY, stop fb run, in goal, or I form, and or near formations???
I almost always high point pass right over middle. That beat that all day
Thanks man!!

Brian Smith get faster safeties. cross manning them definitely works. i use Deion and Champ at safety, because i man then every play

When i play as the bears i put leo floyd as defensive end then spy
How are you both teams?
Yo Eric, what zones do you recommend on 3rd or 4th and long then because they probably won't throw to the flats in that situation.
I always use a spy no matter if it’s dan Marino or mike Vick i get like 5 swats a game and sometimes even a pick
Jakob Koenig me too. I use one a lot too. Especially when ppl try to run on the ppl like Golf or Wentz. I be hitting them when they rollout waiting for they receiver to get open.
Being a user on defense, how does one know what coverage the cpu covers vs what i should or shouldnt cover?
Hold right trigger and up on right stick. It will show u the zones including yours
But sometimes u just have to know
@@gamer7234 i ll try that. thanks
Always great stuff brotha!!
At 11:07 u gotta be blind if u dont take off running with wentz

What's the differnce between Cover 3 and Cover 3 zone does zone play back further?
BiggZae Beats cover 3 In general is a zone defense. Cover 1 is the man version of cover 3. They’re both single high safety defenses. In cover 1, the free safety roams and helps anyone who needs help while everyone else is playing man.

Great video
E-Ray Need your help man.. eBook for the Pats Playbook...I'll cop
Hey Ericl play with Cam Newton. How can my QB break a sack behind the line of scrimmage?
When will Madden 19 update rosters?
Trooth Serum they aren’t they said they putting their focus on madden 20
Will the Qb spy work with a MLB
Tyrel Kennard yes. You can put the spy on anyone
@@DaRealVJ90 it's works thanks for the reply
Tyrel Kennard no problem
What about playing all madden cpu why does it feel like they call the exact play to counter your defense and why does it seem like they throw the ball faster than human you have less time to react to get picks
Good stuff E👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks Clint!
The tackle system has been better in previous maddens and the depth perception in this madden for interceptions is so horrid
Be g nickel
Hey Eric,
When I send the QB spy to get the QB and I’m usering a linebacker I get a funny hit stick animation and my linebacker falls to the floor. Do you know any way to avoid the linebacker falling?
No I don't. It's one of those things that just randomly happens sometimes.
WHO DAY BABY !!!
Thankssss now I can beat my little bro 😅🤣
Good video I subbed n I don't ever sub to people
Thanks for the sub!
Madden has been the same since 2015. Wanna play good def? Call Tampa 2 out of the 4-3 wide 9, basically the level sails of def lol.
You won't see qb fall foward? This guy hasn't played since new shitty patch? lol
Wow, it's almost like this video was posted weeks before the patch.
lol
I play Cover 2 and Tampa 2 out of Nickel almost all the time. Should I switch to something else ?
Time to time yes, because a decent opponent who is decent at reads pre snap will recognize your tendencies and will burn you with a cover 2 beater
razor1751 Any suggestions? Sorry I’m still new and learning with the online gameplay
texasjmdmovies just switch up your coverages every now and again
I don’t know if it’s the best defense, but Tampa 2 was getting torched in a game this weekend. I switched to Cover 4 Drop with press and shade underneath. Seemed to do the trick. Got three interceptions after that.
Dope video. This may be asinine but have you ever put more than 1 DL in spy? I almost never get pressure and I'm not a blitzer. So more in coverage is my thoughts. Thanks!
Nah only 1.
Good stuff man

DTs and Dlinemen drop into coverage in real life quite often so idk what you're talking about.
Lol, that doesn't mean anything
LeBeau's revised Zone Blitz relies on DL dropping into coverage as its base.
Sounds like this guy got his cheeks clapped by a dude dropping his dline into coverage
EricRayweather 3 out of 4 drop back into coverage? Every play? That’s all I’m saying
Please stop using the same emoji sometimes it keeps me from looking at your videos sometimes love your content but that emoji driving me crazy
wassup dude!1!111 !
It's a shame EA Sports took away player rankings in Madden. Haven't been into playing the game ever since & i have over 360 wins. Way to drive away one of your most die-hard fans, EA.
360 wins and 360 losses not good at all to many people with dat type of record on the leader boards don't need no more
More like right around 305 losses. I was well over .500 and ranked in the top 500. All that hard work and grinding just for EA to take away my ranking.
John Tracey that’s still trash though lmao
Ahrauch what's your record? 50-60 wins over .500 is far from trash.
I hate that they took away rankings as well. Ever notice that NO one you ever play has a losing record?
