@civil Although other creators shed their own personal analysis and breakdown of their schemes, I’ve yet to come across one who holds the perfect balance of fundamental understanding of the game of football & a firm grasp on how to apply the mechanics of a football “game” to said understanding. I am a meticulous person and having your content to refer to when I’m in the lab microadjusting my own schemes is absolutely paramount to my ability to improve as a player and lover of the game of football and video games alike.
Great video, completely changed my defense game. Do decent on offense but didn’t know what I was doing on defense, would only force 1-2 punts before and play as the DL the whole game or only play as the offense 🤣. First game after video I won 24-0 and held the other team too 133 yards. Much love
Just started playing Madden yesterday. Offense I can kinda do, but defense, it's like I'm walking in traffic with my eyes closed. Thanks for the tips, Civ. Will try them out when I get home. Great video also!
Learned something new, about to try out the qb contain, I needed to see that! Haven’t seen that in any video up to this point and it was something simple
I am not even done with the video and just want to thank you for making this and your skills at teaching are superb. You make it so easy to follow for newer MUT player like me. Edit: I forgot to say of course followed and notifications on. This is great as i have someone for my go to for catching up now. Is it okay that I haven't been able to learn everything, but have learned a lot. I figure the more I practice and come back the better my understanding will become. EDIT: 1 HUGE question I have is I am running knockout on my cornerbacks. Knockouts only work on zone and not man, correct? It this is true can you give me some plays out of nickel I can run zone with.
I’m so glad you did this, I use to put my corners to match the WRs “Speed” or “Route running” for some reason they would always glitch out or give up big plays and I would be so confused. EA smh
I’m already a really good player but the last video I watched of yours was good enough to get me to watch this one and this is just good content. Good tips. Earned a sub!
To my knowledge Curl Flats Guard Comeback Routes,Cloud Flats Corner Routes /Anything outside the numbers,Seam Flats Guards In Routes/Anything across the middle, & Hard Flats guards Quick pass routes Ex:Drag routes RPO’s anything thats under 5 Yards before ball is thrown
Do you have any tips to make the A.I. in Superstar mode more realistic? If you play as a linebacker, whatever team youre on will end up dominating the league in interceptions and sacks yet still somehow at the same time, also give up twice the number of passing yards as the next worst team in the league. It's idiotically bad. Like EA never even bothered testing it before they released the game. The opposition A.I. quarterbacks complete passes at an 85%+ rate.
@@Galacticos_07 They must have changed the name of the play to Cov 3 Buzz Match Wk. I don't see Buzz Seam anywhere in any playbook, but Buzz Match WK looks the same.
How do I stop the run?! I use the Seattle D playbook which may be the issue but anything short of play guessing the run I almost never get a stop. I press, play under, adjust my depths and still teams like eagles and Dallas tear me up
I don’t know how I feel about this game. I love the player movement a lot better than 24 but my skill level for whatever reason in madden 25 isn’t half as good as what I was in 24.
I’m coming from Madden 23 I skipped 24 but 25 is impossible almost to play defense I’m playing on rookie mode A base defense according to there offense and Justin fields are throwing ropes how is this possible
Defense isn’t hard. It’s incredibly broken. Man coverage even with 99 players and cover sliders on 100 still doesn’t work. The tackle angles SUCK. Players, especially on outside runs have this default animation to step in for a split second and then get sucked into a block. Curl routes are impossible to guard. Madden 25 is the worse defense I have ever played and I’ve played pretty much every madden since like 04
Man thank you! I already know I’m not the only one plenty people say this. But it’s just demoralizing. Makes me feel like I suck. My offense is elite but defense man it’s just non existent I’ve tried all formations match zone blitz you name it everything gets picked apart. Game is bad which is why I played ps2 madden 08 still up until 2 months ago
I mean ... this sounds good, but it's still too advanced. What's the difference between a cloud flat and a hard flat? They look identical. A lot of us aren't Americans. And I assume most Americans don't even know these details about football defensive formations. What would be really good is a beginner-beginner's guide to playing defense. Like ... what are those three bars that say "speed" above the player's head? It's not explained in any of the Madden tutorials.
This is one of if not the best madden video I’ve ever watched. Straight to the point helpful and simple. Outstanding.
Thanks! Great video, and explanation, and go Lions!! For the #1 spot this Sunday!!

Good defensive videos with a lot of tips. No glitchy plays just useful information to be used how we see fit.
Honestly I never felt like the shades worked on the past & got cooked by corner routes. Now it actually works!!
What do push to shade

I always match formations, it does make a difference on zone coverages.

I’m very novice and learning. What mode are you in to practice this. In practice mode you’re only offense.
I been playing for 20 years I just learned you can sprint with a defense user 😯
I’m already a really good player but the last video I watched of yours was good enough to get me to watch this one and this is just good content. Good tips. Earned a sub!
Thanks ❤
Noobie to Madden and this video was helpful. Thank you bro
After watching this video and messing around in practice I won my next game 24-0
And your a women so it must work
I make all my opps rage quit 🤣😈
I haven't watched every minute of a youtube video in a while good job civ!
Thanks for the advice… learning a lot from you bro
Here first again, keep making amazing vids, hope we get to play once sometime ❤❤❤
When you shaded underneath your linebacker covered the seam streak but the slot wr going over the middle was wide open
Is it good to press in zone coverage??
Thank you good sir! 🎉
what playbook can i find these coverages in
Love this video bro..?tho can u hold sprint and use Y to make a pick at the same time?
May be a bit question but how do you change players quickly. I’m used to having to press B repeatedly
FINALLY A GOOD VIDEO
Wow the user advice and this whole video was outstanding.
Wat a saint true guide
Great video
Earned a subscriber brother!💯
Thanks bro! This helped me. Won 6 games today
Subbed
Subbed.. Is there a video of the complete guide to offense in Madden 25? I couldn’t find it if there was
Awesome video bro
Thanks....how do we stop corner routes??? #FTA🎉
This was very informative thanks Civil.
Thanks for keeping the game simple
playing cfb made me so much better at defense and football games overall somehow
Hey Civil great vid, how come in some defensive formations such as double mug you can’t choose coverage shells in the play picking screen?
What’s the best positions to use X factors on for off and def
Obviously im not civil, but use rac em up and double me on ur WRs/TEs and if u can pro reads or gun slinger on qb, defense im not rlly sure
Good Tips! Thank You! 🙏 You have another Subscriber. 🙂👍🏈
thank you broadie
What defensive playbook u have tho?
can't even find the cov 3 buzz seam in the playbook database.
Can anyone explain what each flat on defense means
To my knowledge Curl Flats Guard Comeback Routes,Cloud Flats Corner Routes /Anything outside the numbers,Seam Flats Guards In Routes/Anything across the middle, & Hard Flats guards Quick pass routes Ex:Drag routes RPO’s anything thats under 5 Yards before ball is thrown
How can you see how many WRs the opponent is using before you pick your defense? It used to be intuitive in M24?
my personal guide grab a bible
I’ve lost 30 games straight because of defensive slip ups on the pass, hopefully this will help out thanks
Bro I been taking Ls all day 😢Im scoring points just not stopping nobody wtf
Very helpful video definitely subbed to the channel… thanks 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Ik you got a lot of followers but should I be guessing pass or run ever rly?
meh. stay away from guessing run. guess pass can be helpful, if you're correct. it helps your Defensive Line pass rush
How do you stop the one play streaks with tyreek and waddle
Get a safety over top
Playbook on defense?
Does anyone still still have defensive playbook to multiple D or leave it at the set team you’re playing with?
Do you have any tips to make the A.I. in Superstar mode more realistic?

Can someone take a look at my resent live games and tell me what am I doing wrong in defense that leaves players wide open
How do I get my defenders to not play like total confused idiots?
tryna figure that out too
idk man. about 90% of the time my defenders stand there letting people run by them or just leave people wide ass open
switch stick
By getting Madden for PC an playing with mods 😊
Does this advice actually help?
Bc Im struggling on Defense and hate this game and considering going back to Madden 24
Why are you not playing the MCS tournament?
What do you do when someone is in man coverage and its like your guys can't get free at all
You need to change your setup because the patch came out plus the zone drops are still bad again.
Great information I watched 5x lol
How do you display the coverage art pre snap like at 2:54?
Hold L2
Im trying to create my own play book. Where do I find cover 3 buzz seam??? I’m not seeing it in any nickel package.
Colts d has it bro.. it’s Nickel over formation
@@Galacticos_07 They must have changed the name of the play to Cov 3 Buzz Match Wk. I don't see Buzz Seam anywhere in any playbook, but Buzz Match WK looks the same.

Pinch if think inside run play 4-3 formation and sub a safety in for a linebacker to keep pass defense ability
Really good video
What if I immediately run into the problem where I go to my nickel package and quote over 24 players isn’t available as an option
Wish they would put Match Coverage back in the game. It would make defense a lot easier
Uhhh they do have match
In madden and ncaa
Why don't you User anyone on the DL? What's the reasoning for traditionally selecting a LB?
To get turnovers, not get beat by play action, and to be able to use the switch stick.
W vid as always
Idk anything about football so all I hear is gibberish idk what to do
I don’t know how I feel about this game. I love the player movement a lot better than 24 but my skill level for whatever reason in madden 25 isn’t half as good as what I was in 24.
how we suppose to do all this before the snap ?😂😂
New subscriber here
I’m fairly good at defense in Madden but one position I’m terrible at is CB 😂
How do you only play defense
Oh my God i love you
Ily
I’m coming from Madden 23 I skipped 24 but 25 is impossible almost to play defense I’m playing on rookie mode A base defense according to there offense and Justin fields are throwing ropes how is this possible
I haven't played in years man I can't do either tried a franchise getting smoked and I'm a kc fan rough playbook is way to much for me

Another coaching adjustment video
🐐
Im playing with the Vikings and the playbook is super small and alot of the players have the same number smdh😂
how is he showing his individual play art
Can I just play madden? Why do I need to be an offensive or defensive coordinator to succeed in a video game?
Just play the game then, nerd. Why come to the video instead of just picking up a controller?
How are you using two controllers at once
Cause he’s a god
Practice mode
Is anyone experiencing any glitches during the tackle?
how do u play match coverage
Push O, R1, Square
Why can’t I see my run fits
How do you turn the chew clock feature while you're playing I don't see it
I believe when you get ready to call a play you push down on R3 and the option appears
It is R3 “coaching adjustments” top option in that menu
From play call screen
@@williamwooldridge5987okay thanks
best defense i’ve seen, vote kamala 2024
The defense in madden is so trash im down with this game
Nothing works in franchise mode, you have to get lucky to get stops. EA ruins another game
Jesus Loves you and have a blessed day.
There literally no defense in this game

Defense is hard? Not for me
lol doesn’t help when you don’t put the playbook
It's all concepts brother, can be done from any playbook or formation!
Good shit bro this is rhe most informative video ive watched on pornhub
You're explaining too fast 🤔!
There is no defense in this game fuck EA
