Smart Madden ur the best antcap. What’s ur website??
www.smartmadden.com and for our VIP Package vip.smartmadden.com/
Thank you bro. What ever happen to you’re other channel Antcap24??
I converted it into this name. I was trying to get more eyes on the brand rather than the individual.
The VIP is totally worth it throughout the year. I learned so much in the amount of time I had it in last years madden and definitely getting it for this year madden. Definitely helps you understand madden a lot better
Tip of the year.
More to come for us both. Smart Madden VIP package is going to be even more awesome this year with you joining the team! Going to be a great Madden 19 for all our followers!
Tip that saved madden. For me at least.
EricRayweather the year
Tip of the year for sure. I like playing with the Panthers, and the corners on that team can’t guard those deep post routes by #1 when #2 goes more than ten yards(like a ‘Mills’ passing concept, and the safeties therefore ‘bracket’ the #2 receiver.)
Mills is a major match beater and this tip at least lets me take away the deep ball.
You saved Madden my friend.
NoOne I agree man , also Decue Close has great content too. All 3 great 👍
You single handidly saved this game.
You really made a big change to my gameplay...I kept getting destroyed on 4th and extremely long with this nonsense plays but this has helped a lot now. Thank you!
You're Welcome man!
That's why you are called smart madden! He breaks everything down perfectly!
Thanks for the support man!
OMG!!!! Thank you for this video. As a defensive player the zones breaking down were killing me. Not anymore thx to you. I definitely subscribed. Well deserved
Thanks for this video -- probably the most important Madden 19 video on TH-cam to date!
Your welcome man. Hope this makes for less frustration on defense
Cover 4 drop is the only spot drop cover 4 just like normal cover 3 is spot drop. Quarters and palms are run correctly.
The Madden community needs more people like you
Dude... You might have just saved Madden! Great work as always dude!
Ive always been about making the game more enjoyable. This was something that needed to be discussed to get people enjoying the game more and making coverages more viable.
Smart Madden and you are definitely making it more enjoyable. This tip alone just got you a new subscriber for your website. Thanks again for your great work dude!
Appreciate you man!
Facts
verbal718 really tho
This is huge, thanks. I noticed man match doesn't bite as hard on double moves, so I was getting comfy running it more, but this makes more plays viable. Great tip
Appreciate man! Glad this will help
All you do is drop gems!! I want to know who the 4 individuals that disliked this video? All you do is help players better understand this game. Much respect man..
Aye man, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You. I was 2secs from selling this HOF garbage to my friend for 50$.
Im glad this helped you out and ultimately made you hold onto the game
Pretty awesome your dropping a free e book man, you and eric are definetely 1 and 2 out of all madden youtubers
We are pretty excited to work together and see what the future holds
Appreciate it man , makes a lot of sense and explains a lot of things that has been going on. I haven’t run any cover 3 match in 19 and was still getting bombed. Just a few simple adjustments and I’m good to go.
Man you’re a savior i was raging cause dbs did not play there zones i even went to man and nothing worked i was like this is going to be a long year on defense then i came here❤️✅
Best video out there. It's a shame people have to do this in order for deep players to be deep players, but it works!
Thanks man. I believe now that there is a work around to use to get those deep players where you want them, I think that having these match principles will actually end up having good uses very certain route combinations that eventually pop up. Gun Bunch is a formation I would use Cover 4 match principles because of the lack of routes that could get you in trouble if you sprinkle it in
Smart Madden I agree! The only drawback to playing sticks is you can't play hard flats it seems like. What if I want my safeties deep but my corners or OLBs playing hard flat?
Cover 4 drop is still in the game
Quarter and palms are playing almost exactly how they should.
You are the best Madden mind to ever grace TH-cam..continued success AntCap!!!
thanks man .. Apperciate you
I've found more then just this play for a 1 play td, thanks for the sticks tip!!
I don’t usually SUB... But MAAAAAN!!! You earned this!
Appreciate you! Welcome to the channel!
Been holding my own on Madden 19 but now you just took my gameplay to another level best tip of the year boy this is a game changer you just earned a new subscriber
Wow thank you so much. I was getting smoked and spammed on some deep plays any time the opposing QB had a bit of time. I’ve just won back to back MUT games. Thanks!
Great tip, needed this ASAP!!
awesome. glad it will help you out
Great video and an awesome tip. Definitely needed to know this. You are definitely giving us great tips to succeed this year thanks
Thanks TJ.
Great video, I didn't know that, but people could also just learn football coverages and adjust to different offensive looks accordingly. It's really not that complicated to learn how coverages work and what their weaknesses are and how to minimize them by making quick pre-snap adjustments. In this scenario I would've seen the trips formation and audibled into a cover 3 cloud after seeing the mismatch between the 3-rec hook and the wide receiver, or you can also just man align immediately and it should give the 3-rec hook responsibility to a CB instead of the Mike. Or just convert the play to a spot dropping defense like in this video if that's your preference. Because the coverage worked properly in that cover 4, it was the users fault for not seeing the mismatch between the 3-rec hook and the WR, there's nothing wrong with the coverage, it worked how it should. User error not mechanic error
Na. The game is fucked up. Zones should stay zones but ea decided to sometimes turn zone into man coverage. Its stupid af and not realistic to real life
MLC you must have never seen the Seahawks cover 3 defense
@@mlc9928 Actually it is realistic. In fact nearly every defense used in the NFL now is designed to convert into man coverage. Pure spot dropping defense is very rare nowadays.
Thank you so much! Now I understand why my cover four, the first time I ran it, got beat easy with streaks!
YOU GAINED ANOTHER SUB!
Great video! I played some kid last night that was running this and was only able to get the W through veteran savvy lol
Awesome man! Thanks for visiting the channel. Always been a big fan of your work!
Thanks for finding an answer to my "HOOOOOOOW??? *slams controller*" -issue.
Great video man!! That’s key information that people need to know!
Your welcome my man!
This was greatly needed thank you
Awesome video! This channel is so helpful with anything madden!
Thanks Rick. Appreciate the support
Haha yes now these ppl spamming fake screen wheel gonna pay
Figured to study a bit deep to find the remedy before it ruins people's experience in 1st week
Yea I lost a daft camps game by 3 yesterday to a dude spamming that play after I just won a championship. It ruined my night
Yup man.. some guy scored on it one play.. Threw three picks the rest of the game
And could not score after
Thank you very much for great tip, respect 👍
👊
The backside safety is supposed to man up on #3 in C4 Quarters... the match coverage have potential if they fix the game
Absolutely! I love the potential of cover 4 match principles as a scheming D. Now that I can turn it off at will , I feel a bit better to call the D and leave it when I see certain looks and protect the sticks when I see others
Thanks for the breakdown.
Coming from 2k first time playing madden this is overwhelming
Instant sub with bell notifications when I saw this video great content
Excellent video, these are the adjustments that are crucial to the game. I smashed the like & subscribed to your channel. Look forward to watching your channel in M19. Keep posting.
Great tip. Just earned a new sub!
Appreciate it man! Welcome to the channel
This won't be a viable option in most down and distance situations. Foe example if it's a shorter distance for the first down, all of the underneath zones will drop to the first down marker. The deep cover 4 defenders will continue to mindlessly drop deep. This will leave a HUGE hole in the intermediate areas.
Thanks 4 showing me how to beat that play
Good video man very well broken down one of the best I've ever seen!!
Appreciate it man!
Thanks 4 the info man really appreciate u sharing keep it coming
Lol dude I’ve never hit the sticks button or man align button in my life lol thanks
In the past the Protect the Sticks didnt have a the functionality it was supposed to, this year it has "special" powers..lol
Freaking Awesome man. Wow!!!! Amazing work ant. Beautiful.
Thanks man ,appreciate it!
Great video!!!!! Thank you sir!
You're a lifesaver man.
In what situation should I use this? I assume more often than not, but should I run it every 1st down and every play after?
This is why I’m subscribed to you
I used a different technique to counter this play also works on out route people use when ur in cvr 3
Plus by reading about the game b4 it came out it says protect sticks will be better
Thank you for the share
Thank you so much for this man.. I just played a freaking game and the guy I was playing kept running the same play on offense and i just had no idea what the heck to do.. He did the same thing on defense though, I couldn't run or pass the ball the only thing I could notice him doing is guessing run and then pinching his whole team to the middle of my line and then when I hike the ball he has pretty much his whole team through my line and I had absolutely no time to do anything as soon as my QB got the ball he was being tackled even in shotgun .. It makes me not want to play anymore when people play like this, it ruins the game ..
Ty you so much for this info
this is the most useful video, those 1 play bombs really ruined the game the AI just goes stupid
Best tip of the year! Madden 18 included .👍👍👍
Good vid. EA needs to make protect the sticks the default and make the match the option in adjustments for real
SDotFrost or just pick a true spot drop zone. Don't blame correct concept principles.
Calm Instincts Correct concept principles? So there is only one way to run cover 4? I have my own scheme -- I do not match at all whether it is cover 3 or 4. This is a video game -- players are governed by rules of the game and do not think like humans.
I think the matching is good in cover 3 because it covers corner routs but it can be exploited
Jack Schultz I stay in 3-4 mostly... hardly in nickel or dime -- that's why I don't want to match... might end up with a LB on a WR
SDotFrost cover 4 drop is the correct call if you don't want to run match principles. Cover 4 Quarters has been run indirectly in every previous madden.
I list a game at the last second yesterday cause i protect the sticks. The computer ran a 15-20 yard in route and threw da ball right over my defense that was protecting the sticks
Great information!
How about the crisscross routes bug where team mates run into each other, do you think they know that it happens.
well done bro, no words.
Awesome tip!! Tku!
Genius!
Question now is when to use matching principles on D without protecting the sticks.
Also, how to get CPU to better simulate D for when we practice plays on O. Is there a way to get D in practice mode or exhibition mode to protect sticks a lot more often?
Conan Barbosa in practice mode you will need to use a 2nd controller to setup the defense and then switch the user to a lineman
Seems like a PITA. Or else we run regular Cov 4 drop show 2 & other defenses that don't need an adjustment to protecting the sticks.
There are some great uses for Cover 4 matching principles without using the protect the sticks. Its best use is against compressed trips sets like Bunch to shut down the flood concept. With that in mind, you can really setup your D / user to control the other side of the field and scheme around it
Here's how to "maybe" simulate good stuff in practice mode like we did in M18....
Create a defensive playbook that has 1 or more formations with coverages that best simulate Madden 18 defenses without big adjustments. Cov 4 Drop Show, Man Cov 2, Cov 3 with purple zones....and then 1 or more formations with only defensive coverages with matching principles. Run random plays in either set against your offense. This way you won't have to fidget with the defense every single play.
Is the option to man lock on or off still in game? Also is Banjo coverage in this year?
Have a question about the cover 3, cover 4. In the cover 3 and cover 4, would you man up some players on receivers, or te?
Can we base aline also using protect the sticks? Ty
Thank you Lord for this video because I was getting beat badly because my players matching
thank god i was worried defense would be hell this year
It was heading that way...lol
Just call the right defense and it won't be a problem
Do you advise to turn ball hawk and other settings ON or OFF?
I'm having trouble understanding the best times to use this adjustment . Can anybody help me understand a little more
Amazing game changing tip!
Good stuff ....thanks!!!
Your welcome man, thanks for following the channel
Question: If I do anytype of adjustment like play underneath etc. will it cancel the match concept as well??
Do you protect sticks almost every play? I find I only do it in 3rd down situations?
Thank you!!!!!
This is the holy grail
Man protect sticks been in Madden since 2011 when I stopped playing. They must have removed it and brought it back.
Good looking out ,Bruh my 3-4 predator cover 6 was killing last year, been getting scorched this year
I’m tired of pa crossing routes being open all the time even protect the sticks won’t work
Question!!! In short yardage situation when someone is spamming the same like this one. Will this still work?
Extremely helpful video, thank you!
Thanks man
So would you recommend protecting the sticks every single play no matter what?
Had to subscribe cause this was the best tip ever😊😊
Protecting the sticks is good but what if it’s 2nd & 2??? Will it still work?
Yes it will still work, but you defense will play more like hard flats than deeper like cloud flats. Cover 2 might be a better option to call there if you want to cover deeper to the quarters in that situation
Hopefully you break this down more in the VIP package for your defensive e-book. Any effects vs your offensive e-book?
We are diligently working on videos to explain how zones work this year as a base. We like to do " dynamic" ebooks to make sure each week we put out new offensive formations we use to go against the current meta. If we were to put out 60 play ebook on day 1, it would be tough to know how much would be usuable 2 weeks later. So each weeks as we give you 15 or so play setups, youll know we will have meta in mind
Smart Madden, So does play outside not work? Will that outside zone still jump inside if you have the zones set to play outside?
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Your welcome man! Thanks for following the channel
Awesome vid and good advice bro 👍👍👍
Got a sub for this , good stuff my man
Subbed...Good stuff..... Thank you!!!
MutGeezer Ronman1971 does that fk wheel still work?
@@michaelmitchell5377 I'm not sure..I don't use it. I've been running a I formation system lately.
Man Thank You
Where can u find this offense play?
Thanks, Ant!
Your welcome man!
Thank you.
Your welcome
Great work bro
Thanks man!
You just got a new sub
Perfect
So to use the protect the sticks feature, after the offense snaps the ball and the defense is dropping back do i need to change user player to a different position (CB to LB) and then press L1 ?.......could you explain it a bit more, want to make sure I’m understanding it right because it’s very good info.
Protect the sticks before the snap.
For PS4, is it Y then L1?
Can do some one play touch down out Madden 19 playbook for Buffalo bills
Thank you brother thought my safeties were just trash at zone lmao 😂
You're a god damn hero.
