man online whenever my defense is getting stops and not allowing points, I can't score any myself and I lose a low scoring game. but whenever my offense is on fire and I'm scoring a lot, my defense can't stop a parked car and I lose a high scoring shootout. 💀
For the people who really need it. 1. If you see 3 recievers in a trips type of formation then cover 3 If there’s no back side receiver then cover 3blitz , 6 or 1 2. Twins type formation cover 4 Twins to a single side with a single back side receiver-cover 6 Double wing formation-cover 2 Cover 2- if you want to press the corners
@@snow-glanceyt4056 if you’re that worried about verts go cover 4 ore cover 2 man. but the only thing that’s open is the quick seam inside or after the flat LB engages. If your team is worse then yes you are correct. But an even or better team should have no problem with the match ups. The further you have to throw it the easier it is for the inside 3 to cover the middle 2 routes. Same for the CBs. Personnel also matter
Run 4-4 spread the linebackers out set the edge guys to flats at 0 yards and all this becomes lockdown. It’s easy to make adjustments in this game and it helps tremendously
Keep in mind when you hard flat the corners they have a tendency to get burnt before the safety can get to them in cover 2. In cover 3 the fly route will def be open as well as the seams so make the coaching adjustment to align your dbs by speed. And get comfortable running a cover 2 man or some type of combo man coverage where your corners will surely be in position on the receivers regardless of routes. For mismatches in that set use the stick flick earlier to that player so you can user get in position 🙏🏾 💯
That’s why you set a spy with the contain to truly contain the qb. Faster qbs like lamar and Vince young can still torch a spy so the contain helps funnel the qb closer inside
I was using contain against my friend last night and it was working, you can also adjust the middle d-line to crash middle and user the MLB in coverage and just use him to stop a scramble. They'll still sometimes get some yards but it's a lot less than what it could be.
@carryeveryday910 You see that's where you're wrong buddy. According to my insecurity, anyone who is even marginally better than me at video games is clearly cheating so the loss doesn't count 😅
For the rb checkdown spammers and roll out demons, i run a man coverage with the D-end lined up across the rb and throw the opposite d-end into a qb spy.. then in situations where they have to throw the ball i either leave the d line alone or throw on 1 spy depending on the qb
@@GabrirlSturm-qi8og my defensive ends have 80* speed so it really hold its down long enough on any flat or out route long enough for the qb to pass to someone else, roll out or get hit, everyone else is in a zone so it usually works out
Be careful with using underneath coverage. If your DBs/LBs lack the stats they'll get outran or outleveraged and now the reciever has a drag with one fewer defender in front of him. But if done right it's an easy pick 6
So with people who contain, I see a lot of QBs who only know how to make plays out of the pocket so I suggest making a Qb build with low speed and practicing on that so you know how to play the pocket, so when edges contain, you step up in the pocket which gives u 2 options, run through the middle or find a wr open
This is actually helpful. I haven’t played since 2014 and couldn’t figure out how to control my d line, secondary, or linebackers outside of sliding the line or playing press / back.
Good tips. The tackling and awareness need to be improved. I have been playing these games since the beginning. I have never seen the cpu so high-powered on the varsity setting.
Varsity as in lowest setting? Defense has only been a challenge at all American and heisman in my online dynasty with some friends (still have 4 cpu games a season) even then the game is rather realistic in its explosive offense, never seen an nfl game with stats like those of colleges. Mahomes threw for 800 yards, playoff games consistently go for 30+ points for both teams, and defenses in general struggle in college football.
Could be a skill issue, could be he’s just stating that even the lowest cpu is harder than ever before. I don’t even play the game I just read his comment.
It’s so funny how you can tell football fanatics and ex football players are so superior. I started playing in 3rd grade and all of what you are saying is so basic yet so many people don’t understand. There’s always space in every single zone and there is a ankle taken by man coverage every play.
Finally someone giving none cheese advice! But if you didn’t know this stuff already you probably a cheeser and shouldn’t be allowed to play on hesiman mode yet!
I play on Varsity and it's pretty hard. I suck at it 😂 Last game I played against Michigan and the score was 63-62. I won though by a field goal. It's the runnning game for me that I could not stop and most of my DBs can't tackle for shiit 😢😅
For one contains never work and for two matching someone’s personal has never been real in madden or college football. If they come out in empty, you can bag them, in 46 even one.
Yeah, this still doesn't work. The seam, flag, and post route all open somehow. Playing defense is difficult but then I also struggle throwing the ball. I guess i just suck. 😢
Lmao try to play cover 2 and put your Defense end (4-3) or outside linebackers (3-4) on curl flats. User the MLB and cover 5-10 yards back. Follow the zone that it gives you. Just be ready to have to make the tackle without help. If they start running send the blitz and don't press your corners (only press if you feel your corners won't get beat.) Also don't sit up there and try to make something happen or do your own thing. Most times they'll throw the ball to you. Also if you give up a big play don't give up on the coverage. Once you get cover 2 and blitzing down you can start to experiment with other coverage and start to build your defensive playbook.
Thank you, so many people online were abusing the zigs and drag routes and I couldn’t stop it. I just wish EA could find a way to stop the ridiculous kicks people do on kickoff. I really don’t know how people can have fun or feel good abusing broken plays.

I’m telling u right now the underneath and over the top does NOT work…getting beat on a corner that’s curl flated 20 yards with outside shading…doesn’t matter. The game is SUPPOSED to work but it doesnt
You should still be able to stop the run from a nickle or dime package if it matches their personel . Of you're playing online your opponenent will definately audible to a pass play if they see that. And 90% of the time you'll get torched. Unless they just totally suck.
I like your attempt to help people... but the flat zone only helps if you wait too long on the on the drag. Drag should but hit on the b and c gaps which the flat does not cover. The qb co tain only works if the scramble goes outside and you get a negative effect if they go up the middle. You were better off telling people about the spy concepts.
Bad tips qb contain does not work it can easily be broken and u can literally do defensive assignments the coverage will still be broken especially with a running qb and the damn play maker bring a option
@@dylanclark8856 literally everyone? I don't, a lot of people don't that's because people who are actually good at the game can pick their own plays lol 😂 it's okay if ur ass tho

I use 3-3-5 and add a ss with speed as the 3rd linebacker
The tip about personnel, I normally would come out in Nickel if they running with 2 WR's then I would audible to a 4-3 Over play
They’ll just run up the middle, throw on a QB spy it’s much easier
Just don’t spy your d tackle 😂

Play heisman it’s more satisfying you can compete with top ten teams with terrible teams
Same I suck at this game. I’m okay on All American, but I’m gonna stay on varsity. I need to understand the game more before I can go back to it.
Good luck making all these adjustments before the snap 😁😂
Contain dont do shit for me. Im playing a dude with a 74 speed qb and he running all over my defense.
press Y and left of the right stick, should work wonders
Qb spy then switch off so you don’t accidentally forget and drop back into a zone 😂
Put one in spy. I never have a problem with scramblers
Does 3WR 1TE count as 4 receivers? Should I go nickel or dime for that?
You're the man!
So the simplest tips possible for defense, got it
Another step is also using a good team lol
If you not at home they don’t show personal. Played with some friends and was like wait how do ik what to coke out in if it won’t show the personal.

For one contains never work and for two matching someone’s personal has never been real in madden or college football. If they come out in empty, you can bag them, in 46 even one.
Any good scrambling qb is just going to step up. He’s not wildly running to the side he’s reading his blocks
Or just chew clock. Can’t play bad defense if you’re always on offense
I lose cause my ball carriers cant hold on to the ball
