Nelson lol I give up a td like 1/15 when my defense is backed up so if my defense can stop it you know its hard to score... hardest thing to do in madden
3-4 Cover 2 put corners in cloud flats put mlb in deep blue put both olb in hard flats to stop drags an user the post with oth mlb. Doesn't stop it but slows it down
I run a custom playbook on PS4 and so this year I can't add plays from specialty playbooks (thanks, EA). But working off this concept(Max Protection/ Post/ Streak/ Drag) I was able to find some workarounds using some other plays. 1.Gun Bunch - Bucs Sail - Max Pro/ Slot Streak/ Flanker Drag. 2. Gun Bunch - Bunch Trail - Max Pro/ Slot Streak/ Flanker Drag 3. Gun Bunch - Deep Corner - Max Pro/ Split End Streak/ Slot Drag. [On PS 4, the Split End is Square, on X Box he's X. On PS4, the Slot is X, on X Box he's A. On PS4, the flanker is Circle, on X Box, he's B.] I've only tried this in practice mode but the concept is identical.
The best part is that vs a Single High safety (a Cover 1 or Cover 3 look) or a pressure/ blitz look (like Man) simply run Gun Bunch - Post Cross as is, stock. Vs 2 high safeties, run the Max Pro/ Drag/ Streak concept.
I've been cheesing with the Pistol playbook in MUT. It has Bunch, Y off Trips, bunch te, plus a lot of other neat formations. Also run plays are insane. For some reason the blocking on "inside zone split" runs seems broken.
Eric, can you tell me what a drag route is supposed to be? It seems that the depth is undefined. What is so aggravating about this game is how a drag route will go the defender who could be 7 yards away instead of immediately cutting underneath after the snap of the ball. I wish this thing was more defined and less problematic. How about when running backs run into a defender and cant get out to his route and when he does, the pass is intercepted? I wish they would clean this stuff up.
the scheme that people keep running on me is the shot trips away from the tight end, running inside zone, bubble screeens, flanker screens, levels, pc crossers, and a few other random pass plays mixed in. idk i think that running schemes sounds so boring, i like to use different formations and personnel with play calls to try to get an advantage on my opponent not run the same easy plays over and over again all the time. So many people run plays where they hot route stuff every play, i audible to different plays a lot but most of my hot routes are just adjusting the distance of a route to the first down marker or changing to a vertical on a backside route that is being pressed or calling an out route on the backside if the cb is backed off in cover 1 or 3. i dont understand why people want to play the game like this, to me is seems like a lot more fun to learn about football strategy and make adjustments during the game than just repeat the same thing over and over again. Like i can run any play that is on madden because i know football and what plays to call against what defenses. Idk i guess it got popular because thats how some of the pros do it because madden promotes ultimate team and shits on head-to-head and you cant use custom playbooks in the pay to win mode. Also i run corner strike sum i think the best progression on that is RB, front side slot on the flag, and then look at the crosser on the way back to reading the c-route on the backside. So many people just read the high low with the running back and the c route, and they waste the front side read completely when that flag route is actually the best route on the play to get a big play because when the guy catches it he is moving up the field instead of toward the sideline.
I got a question, I like to run the West Coast playbook in my CFM leagues. But I can’t do any formation subs on my coaches menu. Can you explain to me why it’s not letting me do this??? Or what Coach in the league actually uses West Coast playbook
Recently subscribed. I've watched few of your videos great content, good commentary. Quick suggestion if I may. Could you mention the playbook you're using at the beginning so viewers like myself go along with what you're explaining.
EricRayweather on some you do yes, on this one particular I believe you mention it's a West coast book around 6:30ish. On some other videos I I've had to look at unique plays while you flip through plays to see if I can figure out which off book it is. Nonetheless keep up the good work on putting out quality tips. 👍
How do you motion the player out? When I try it doesn’t work. And also how do you playmaker? I can’t figure out any of these, besides that, great video!
Use Cirlce/B to highlight the player you want, then use the Dpad to motion him left or right. To playmaker just hold the Right stick in whatever direction you want to move your player.
If you ran the 3-3-5 Cover 4 Hare Flats, Man Up the Post with safety, Man up Cooks with the left corner, and user the right MLB? If he ran Dig HB Out, you've got cooks man'd up, hard flats on the field to stop the drag the other way, and user the playmaker? Maybe?
EricRayweather I just ran this scheme and made someone rage quit and it’s very effective. If a guy isn’t blitzing you, is there anything you would do with the RB or TE, say if you just block one of the two instead of max protect. Like would a RB flare route or dragging the TE be a smart move or too risky? I figured crossing the TE and left WR underneath would give you another option and you can still block the HB. This is just if your opponent isn’t blitzing you.
You never ran those plays against cover 3. The Meta this year is Cover 3. I would say like 70% of players just run cover 3 every down and run some adjustments. Cover 3 is so OP in Madden this year it is fucking insane...
Hey bro, your vids are the best by far.. Very informative.. And not corny with shitty music and bunkass jokes the whole time.. On another note.. I'm having a problem with intercepting while usering my linebacker, and I don't know why.. My buddy's constantly throwing drag routes, and I'll be covering the receiver, but the ball will either go barely over my head or just pass me to the left and right.. I hit triangle just as the ball's coming, but its not even giving me the "play ball " icon.. So frustrating!! I'm even using Barr from the Vikings.. The computer would intercept that all day.. I'm even on auto-strafe, and auto all that other shit.. Just to try it.. Is there something I could be doing wrong..?? Any Suggestions..?? Also, any ideas on a set-up to stop those drag routes and quick zig routes..?? Appreciate everything you do bro..
Max Daniel.. Thanks bro.. QB Spy is a good idea.. Next game with him I was going to hit with hard flats, got flustered and lost my head, If he starts the zig and out routes.. Much appreciated
Trav Pet 15 when you're on the route and he let's it go hold y if you're on Xbox triangle if PS4 and it should give you the lurk and when the play starts hold LT until you start sprinting. Hope that helps
Giani Youngblood using LT is definitely a good tip that should help, but I had this same issue until I switched users... I was using 92 Bobby Wagner and when I switched to Sean Lee I started catching everything! Makes a huge difference
I use a custom playbook and under all plays I don't see an option for Gun Bunch weak is there a way I can add it to my custom? Thanks for all your videos you're really good at this.
Jarvis Manning this shit is ruining the game. I can't get past 15 wins in weekend league because people just cheese like crazy. some plays are almost impossible to stop. Ea does nothing about this. With all the cheese people with no skill can turn into pro players. It's stupid
Your ok but most of your videos you always show plays against cover 2 like that's the d everybody run lol stop tricking people if you run Tampa 2 like a player like me run it put that middle lb in a deep blue it's a big difference that's why thay ask you to show game play and it's not working for them put MLB I'm deep blue in cover 2 no matter what formation it is so stop showing it like that makes the video pointless show them the way to beat deep blue MLB I'm cover 2 when you show it
+Eddie Thomas clearly you didn't watch the video because I put the MLB in a deep blue everytime. I literally spent a section of the video talking about how this concept beats the deep blue MLB. Idk what else you want me to do, I put the information right in front of your face. Actually watch the video, don't skim through it. That's why things don't work for certain people, cause y'all skim through and miss important information. Don't blame me for laziness.

All your videos work for madden thanks for the tips
Yo what playbook is this??
EricRayweather plz tell me what team has west coast
Can you do like an offensive video from inside the 10? Hard af to score
Max Daniel man I tired this sceme and it works perfect, but you’re right! Inside the 10 you can forget it. It’ll be picked off 7-10 times.
Nelson lol I give up a td like 1/15 when my defense is backed up so if my defense can stop it you know its hard to score... hardest thing to do in madden
Nelson at this point I almost just kick it on first and goal cause if I try to pass it'll be intercepted lol
You have to run bro
FB dives or drag routes.
3-4 Cover 2 put corners in cloud flats put mlb in deep blue put both olb in hard flats to stop drags an user the post with oth mlb. Doesn't stop it but slows it down
Bro I think this is your best video yet. This was super good.
I have been using gun bunch and it is really unstoppable. Like u said Especailly when I that the short plays when its there..

That's funny you say that, tomorrow's video is going to be how to create this concept with other plays in Bunch. Very smart.
I'm a big fan of your work. Btw, another play is Gun Bunch - Post Cross - Max Pro/ Flanker Streak.
The best part is that vs a Single High safety (a Cover 1 or Cover 3 look) or a pressure/ blitz look (like Man) simply run Gun Bunch - Post Cross as is, stock. Vs 2 high safeties, run the Max Pro/ Drag/ Streak concept.

Lit Panda lol facts
yeah it's like 15 plus yards each time
There’s like 8 or 9 inside zone spilts in that playbook
Internet Expert what playbook are you talking about??

Does it matter what west coast playbook I use ..? Eric I could use a response please to help my offense out

I pretty much always mention the playbook at the beginning of every video.

Got you bro. I'll definitely make sure I'm more aware of that going forward. Thanks for the feedback.

EricRayweather thank you! Keep up the good work! Love your vids!
Fire video bro !! For us rookies to madden

Dietrick McKinney L2+R2+□, or LT+RT+×
@ Zane Allen thanks
Great tips as always
+mjeezy1011 thank you
great vid fam
Gun bunch wk is not showing up at all in my gun formations. I'm trying to add it in my custom playbook....strange
Where can i find the west coast playbook? I just want to use it for open practice not MUT
I keep trying this but it won't let me put the Wide Out in the A slot in motion to the right.. only to the left
I used the jags playbook that is west coast on MUT but does not have this formation. Is there a playbook on MUT that has it??
Lockdown Brown you have buy the west coast playbook or complete the alternate pb set and hope u get lucky
If they buffed the spotlight feature this could possibly be stopped but doubt they will
Gonna sound like a stupid question, but how do you find this playbook in mut? I can't see west coast anywhere :(
Andrew White go buy it in auctions
Good stuff 💪🏼
+Fredo thank you 🙏🏼
Can you use the west coast offensive as a base offensive in a custom playbook ?
+GMoneyGifted no you csbt
If you ran the 3-3-5 Cover 4 Hare Flats, Man Up the Post with safety, Man up Cooks with the left corner, and user the right MLB? If he ran Dig HB Out, you've got cooks man'd up, hard flats on the field to stop the drag the other way, and user the playmaker? Maybe?
+EDCarolina those posts will toast man coverage.

Are you playing with the Patriots playbook?
+Matt Turner west coast
How do I stop out routes I tried everything to stop it I thought cloud flat was the best like you said now I’m just confused
jimmmyyy stewart user it bud
adam g i tried that to he was doing it on both sides but he had te angle type route going up the field and a rb coming out of the backfield sl
I ran nickel normal cover 3 and put cloud flats the quick out route will be gone. But the underneath will be wide open
If you can user the middle good and have some good pressure they will have to throw away or just take a sack or throw underneath.
Wavey Jaay10 oh okay thanks
You never ran those plays against cover 3. The Meta this year is Cover 3. I would say like 70% of players just run cover 3 every down and run some adjustments. Cover 3 is so OP in Madden this year it is fucking insane...
Why everytime i try to playmaker up the field they run diagonal
And how do u make that set up u had in yo audibles u had, dig, the mesh post all that, how did u do that
+GMoneyGifted open up the formation then press L2/LT and you can change your audibles.
I played someone who use the bunch formation and it is pretty hard to stop...
lol you're killing me showing everyone all my money plays haha

Trav Pet 15 for drags a qb spy is good and hard flats should stop zigs
Max Daniel.. Thanks bro.. QB Spy is a good idea.. Next game with him I was going to hit with hard flats, got flustered and lost my head, If he starts the zig and out routes.. Much appreciated
Trav Pet 15 when you're on the route and he let's it go hold y if you're on Xbox triangle if PS4 and it should give you the lurk and when the play starts hold LT until you start sprinting. Hope that helps
Giani Youngblood using LT is definitely a good tip that should help, but I had this same issue until I switched users... I was using 92 Bobby Wagner and when I switched to Sean Lee I started catching everything! Makes a huge difference
Max Daniel have to make sure the LB has play ball tendency
I miss this play from custom playbook
How do you play maker a specific receiver on Xbox One?
Gucci Simkins same but with ps ?
What other playbook other than west coast is this in?
Only west coast.
EricRayweather so u cant get mesh post in anyother pb?
Playbooks?
Guys plz help how you Donald this and other custom playbooks
How'd this work against Cover 3?
+Trav Pet 15 same as cover 4
What playbook is this. I’m so done with these scheme videos that don’t show the playbook
+_MazeRunner1624 _ I said what playbooks the plays were in though. Don't skim the video, actually watch it.
I did I must have missed it
Pats there’s a logo at the start of vid
_MazeRunner1624 _ look where it day choose play formation the team logo is there it’s pats
It’s west coast playbook
What if someone is in cover 2 but puts the mlb in deep blue and users your post route over the middle
+Aj Entertainment drag is open.
EricRayweather thanks bro
🐐 bro
How do you playmaker?
Jacob Hoffman move the right stick and it will play make the nearest receiver.
I use a custom playbook and under all plays I don't see an option for Gun Bunch weak is there a way I can add it to my custom? Thanks for all your videos you're really good at this.
Giani Youngblood same bro
Taiwan Godley I was on this morning trying to find it and couldn't though it was just me. Help us out Eric if you can
+Giani Youngblood you can't add these plsys to custom cause it's from an alternate playbook. You have to use the west coast playbook to use them.
EricRayweather are they any good running plays to mix in with it?
u can make custom playbooks?
Do a live game with this
What playbook
+Justin Bonner west coast
How do u playmaker
James Johnson flick the right stick in the direction you want them to run
Bro i can’t find the playbook when im trying to edit my playbook
Taiwan Godley only n west coast PB.
Antonio Emerson thanks bro I figured it out man it kicks ass!
Max protect
Blah blah blah. Cheese
Jarvis Manning this shit is ruining the game. I can't get past 15 wins in weekend league because people just cheese like crazy. some plays are almost impossible to stop. Ea does nothing about this. With all the cheese people with no skill can turn into pro players. It's stupid
