I taught a friend of mine about personnel matching theory years ago when we would play Madden against each other and it took our games from complete blow outs to competitive games. I've found in past years that run plays with pulling blockers that they struggle to pick up players that are wide of the o-line. In some formations you can put a wr or a FB out of i form into motion and you can somewhat "aim" your blocker but if you mistime it, it can blow your play up. I suspect that it might be related to the player's awareness stat but I have never tested it. Seeing a notification from your channel made my night. 🏈
Run n gun playbook, has a singleback doubles with an rpo stretch as well as an rpo power. When Running that i like putting my tight end on the strong side flanker spot. Tis gewd
I don't understand why we can't just save audibles in MUT I remember in a previous madden they had an actual unbalanced formation in the Ravens book. Was so good.
Great vid as always! Just curious, i know that dollar is better against the pass but weaker to the run and vice versa with even 6-1 but could you explain exactly what other formations strengths and weaknesses are? i.e. Dime, Nickel, etc Thanks for the insight, glad to see people arent just gamers and also enjoy real life football concepts as well.
I figured I could chime in here. Apologies if this turns out to be too long, I just love talking football. A lot of this comes down to matching personnel. Dime formation is when the defense has six defensive backs on the field (usually two safeties and four cornerbacks). It's a formation you could use if the offense has four wide receivers on the field or on obvious passing downs such as 3rd & long or 4th & long when the chances that the offense will run the ball are slim to none. Nickel formation is when you replace a linebacker with a defender from the secondary and you end up with five defensive backs (usually two safeties and three cornerbacks). If your opponent has three wide receivers on the field, you'll want to be in nickel. Otherwise, you'll have a linebacker guarding a receiver, which is a mismatch. It is a very prevalent formation in the NFL since it has morphed into a highly athletic league with lots of emphasis on speed and agility. Defenses are forced to rely less and less on base defenses, meaning 4-3 or 3-4 fronts. There's a bunch of variations when it comes to nickel, it can look very different. If you think your opponent is going to run the ball, then stay away from it. It's not the end of the world if you're caught in a nickel formation against the run but it's also far from ideal. On the goalline, I tend to avoid it because the field is so squeezed. I prefer having power/strength over speed in that case.
I would use custom playbook even if you don't add any plays so you can setup your audibles. It gets old setting them up on offense and defense each game
4:08 no comment on this? Lol imagine this happened in a money game. Unreal man. I don’t care if this 💩 can happen in real life. It has no place in a video game. Anyway good videos. Half the people who play this game don’t even watch football let alone understand personnel decisions.
Quick FYI xando you should play the superbowl promo quick way to build your team. If you you win 4 games straight you can win like 300k coins in 30 minutes
Hey I kinda just got through a few games running C9 but inverting my deep half and Curl flat players… it’s surprisingly good vs the run and you NEED an athlete at outside corner
Lost a game recently where dude ran nothing but wing stretch alert or a 3te stretch flipped to weak side. I completely shut down the alert option and the strong side stretch but nearly every time he flipped stretch to weak side was damn near a house call. Was frustrating to play and only thing I could come up with was All Pro is as shady says ASS ASS.
@@XandoFootball had success with multiple as far as strong side stretch and alert (primarily BNOG, 43 Wide 9, 44 split, and some 34 odd.). The show blitz discouraged him from ever throwing the alert it was mainly the weak side flip that got me. I was practically daring him to run inside by my alignments but his stretch’s were still breaking contain.
Damn. I've noticed how the force and contain run defenders get sucked in too much. Sometimes, I'm forced to base align in situations like this. @@Jdub-tv3ww
Lately i've been using Gun Wing Slot Offset as my power running formation. It has a package called 6 O Lineman which does exactly what you just did, sub out the TE on the LOS for a Lineman. I'm about to start using this vs Dollar players! It has Read Option and Power O (same side run) to run it down their throats!
I’m not sure if you have played regs recently but they put skill based matchmaking on and every game is a sweat fest
LOVE IT COACH XANDO HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU AND FAMILY!!! BE BLESSED BE LOVE!!!

@@Jordan-re8du wow! Great response. Very informative, thanks for that!
Really enjoying your channel, you from IN?

I didnt know that...im bout to get on that i think
@XandoFootball I normally just play h2h not really a grinder. But that mode is so easy to farm coins. I just re built my o line to 95 overall
Do you stream? If not you should love the content
I may just lab that grouping
