As a High School Football head coach/offensive coordinator and Shanahan fan…this was awesome! I’ve always tried to study these coaches- so this is GOLD to me!
Man seeing football from a perspective like this is crazy. All the work and info that goes into the week preparing for each game, freaking sick man! Great content! Hopefully you keep making it for years to come!
This was really awesome. I think I got like 65% of what you said. I’d love to see how McDaniel’s scheme compares to Shanahan’s at some point boss. Great content keep it up ol son
Absolutely love this content. 💯 And the fact Madden is refined enough to allow nuanced concepts, plays and player skills to translate into its gameplay is amazing. just Kurt, careful of the audio levels with some of the SFX. Distractingly loud.
Kurt I'm a european fan for years and I've done pretty good in madden franchises the last decade. But these insights are just next level man absolutely love your channel! Keep going my guy
bro!!!! this might be the only human on you tube not getting any hate in comments!!! its so relieving!! I'm a hockey guy trying football! keep up the contect!
Hey Kurt! I just used the plays in madden and I destroyed the other team. I was wondering if maybe u could explain a little to me about what some of the terminology means?Clamp, Larry etc
Okay so I would legit buy this off you or something like this. I know you've got the "Real Football" guide, which I'm considering purchasing once I'm done pissing money away on my doctorate later next year, but just a legit-looking call sheet - or even better a real one (though I know that's a precious resource, as you alluded to at the end of the video) - would be a cool thing to have and show off to people.
ive been a football fan for a long time but just this year i really started nerding out on it and trying to learn more about the game and kurt has been a godsend for helping me do that the way he breaks down game clips and explains the game through madden makes it so much easier to understand ive really been diggin his videos man
This is the exact type of video I’ve been looking for. So helpful for madden but also just for football knowledge in general. I’ve always been a defensive mindset kind of guy so any help on offense is appreciated. Thanks for the video, Kurt!
First of all, LOVE your insight Kurt! The problem is that Madden is so arcadey and unrealistic you cannot map a real playbook onto its plays. I gotta be honest, as a casual fan 90% of your terminology went right over my head in terms of your own play calls and strategies, but the way Madden names the plays is so simplistic, and the game play not physics based at all, so good on you for exposing the horrible weakness of Madden and its AI. They say "it's in the game" but as you've clearly demonstrated Kurt, it isn't. The game should force you to think like a real NFL playcaller, but it doesn't. I could just choose random defensive plays (which I basically did) and still have a top-ranked defense, it was clear to me that no actual strategical game-planning skill is required, it's all how fast can you flick a stick.
Awesome video! Totally unique perspective that's just nowhere else! For a small tid bit of feedback that totally doesn't affect much, the page turning audio was slightly too loud in comparison with the rest of the audio. Keep up the great work!
It's been so great seeing you continue to share your knowledge of the game and grow with your online presence after seeing you part ways with the Packers. Keep it up, love all your content 👍 -Lifetime Packers fan #GoPackGo
There's so much going on every play. Too often we get stuck watching what goes on on the field when coaches/coordinators are battling it out on the sidelines as well.
Meanwhile my dad used to just yell "Run the damn ball. It's not that complex!" when our team hit the red zone. Really shows that armchair experts are really only experts in armchairs.
As a former cfb player and top 100 mcs player, this video provided great insight on how games are called in real life and not just running meta cheese. Really shows average madden joes the mindset of an offensive coordinator dialing it up.
I'm a highschool football freshman QB and this is the type of thing I would love to learn. Offensive plays and how to make / when to call them. Great vid btw!
Need more content like this, would bring back more genuine football fans instead of everyone playing mut spending X amount a week just to call exploit plays 😅😅 while paying for these Ebooks. Thn they get patched thru the year and become useless (for most part)
Wish Madden had a "call sheet" we could go off of, for me I go thru a playbook and "favorite" plays so that way I have them right there in that tab ready to go and I don't have to look for them
You would think they would've added a 'call sheet builder' by now so you can have your situational plays and organize them how you want, like a real call sheet But this is Madden we're talking about of course...
Any way there’s a vid kinda inteoducing us yo the vocab that’s used in this word? Trying to get more into the chess part of football but I’m not familiar with its “slang” for lack of a better word.
I’m always curious does this translate against players that exploit the game on a basis of it being a video game and it’s animation based over real life. Against people that play players that play like it’s a football simulation, I can see how this stuff works and makes it a chess match. But those specific players you play online that only play for the sake of climbing rankings and run the known money plays and 2-3 defensive plays that break the game. How well does this work? A large reason why I drifted from madden was that as games are more about online play. All you run into is players that exploit the game just to get wins. They don’t care about the X’s and O’s when its someone around the world and they just want to impress their viewers on a stream.
You're videos are super underrated. Using madden to explain these concepts helps a lot for me as someone who has played Madden and the Ncaa games since I was around 6 years old.
You have one of the coolest and most interesting channels out there and I hope you blow up on a huge level. Really cool having madden and football broken down by a pro for the more common fan. Thanks!
Can you do something like picking 2 games. One where an offense gets bagged and one where they light up a defense, and go through some plays explaining why it all happened in hindsight?
Hey Kurt love the video! @ 8:50 you throw a TD ON A ROPE over a LB to your RB. Is there a button youre using to place that? The stepping up motion? I feel like Id throw a pick there. Any advice on how to get it perfect like you did?
Kurt, love your content; do you think that with all of your football knowledge, you would be able to beat Henry or JonBeast at Madden, or is Madden still not realistic enough yet where football knowledge will trump overpowered plays, animations, and poor football gameplay (zone principles, pass protection rules, etc.)
video's like this make me so sad for madden... it's not simulation football it's arcade football. When you have someone calling plays and laughing at how the AI reacts vs what would ACTUALLY happen... I wish EA would give us actual simulation football.
Hi Kurt. I really like what you're doing here since though I never played or coached, I'm kind of an X's and O's geek. One humble request, I wonder if you'd mind doing a video similar to this, but just showing what a call sheet looks like and explain how it's put together. Because I generally get what you're saying but much of it goes over my head, especially the strategy, play breakdowns, pre-snap reads, etc. I'm having a tough time following. Maybe do a deeper dive into the strategy you're talking about here.
As a new player, I struggle with progressions. What exactly should I be doing? Atm I snap the ball, look at line to make sure no blitz, then do look through of my receivers. Is that right?
I don’t play video games. I’m not even going to watch this video. Just want to say that ten years ago I destroyed a friend of mine at Madden. That was the only time I played the game ever. Dude lived on that game. I destroyed him because of my play calling and audibles. I literally was still asking him what the buttons do when I was up by 21.

Already noted for the next vid - thanks for the feedback 🫡
Yo, I'm an editor. A general rule of thumb is just to keep your sfx audio at least -6-8db under your dialogue. Those paper tears are a bit hot!
I'm coaching youth football with a goal to get to higher levels and this is so insightful to what goes on at higher levels.
In the jets playbook the only plays under the 3rd and 12+ category are checkdowns to the running back and inside zones.

Everyone calls the same plays in Madden repeatedly if it’s working or not.

🔥🔥great work

Sick vid. This will send many down the Dunning-Kruger curve
Could you explain how the substituations are working?! I mean, after choosing a Play, what exactly is happening in detail
I’ve been waiting for this
stream madden please gotta know what you’re thinking during a game
i wish personnel was easier to swap around during games in madden.
Totally lost but I enjoyed the video 👍👍
Its so annoying that i cant use most of these plays bc im on current gen
Your edits were a bit too loud compared to your speaking voice in this video -- just a heads up.
On it 🫡
@@KurtBenkert It was just the paper scrunching sound, if that helps.
This is really interesting content, do you think Madden does a decent job of emulating actual NFL playbooks?
Great Video
You should be working for NFL and Madden.. both would benefit from your Beautiful Mind 💯
❤️
Hey, I hear there's an OC opening in Buffalo. I'm sure they would love someone who can analyze and pick apart a defense like this.
Awesome video Kurt….I’m gonna go play another game full of cheese plays.
Yeah, I think I'll stick to coach suggestions..
Since watching this channel I’ve been on a 6 game streak. Bro is a cheat code lol. I fuck with it man!
Let’s go man
All i do is run 1 form, read defenses and i have each route a go to base off look concepts and now im on a 168 game win streak and top 100
You should play NFL Head Coach 09 it’s crazy in depth and let’s you create your own plays
So if I'm hearing correctly, does Matt LaFleur not actually have a top 25 plays list that he opens with? Does he just wing it?
Falcons legend. Great videos and idea period, folks looking for inside football knowledge from a former Pro
Hey Kurt love the video! @ 8:50 you throw a TD ON A ROPE over a LB to your RB. Is there a button youre using to place that? The stepping up motion? I feel like Id throw a pick there. Any advice on how to get it perfect like you did?
LB cannot jump unless they have lurker or lurk artist. people tend to sub in safeties for their LBs if you’re playing online so watch for that.
