What are the best defensive coaching adjustments? I know that base align is one, but should i have them play ball or reciever and should i have them do aggressive tackles to try and cause more fumbles?
kingcinemattic i recommend when you are trying to tackle someone use a conservative tackle, A or X, tackles will happen a lot more unless you over shoot it or if they have a really good juke. things for passing, especially for cover 3, i man up the slot receiver and put a linebacker on the cloud flat to cover that area then i user the middle. What i also do, my opinion, cornerback matchups by speed, so i dont get beat deep unless i press them
I Love Watching Your Videos... Question... Why Do You Never Show Us In Game, Gameplay(Online) Using these “Unstoppable” Strategies, Because Playing In Practice & Vs CPU is way different than playing another person ...
Because it doesn’t work. I bet you he has an 90 overall ultimate team and didn’t do a damn thing to earn those players. Maybe he did but now a days dudes are posting videos that say “BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYBOOK IN MADDEN” and then you see they have 95 CBS and 93 safeties 🙄🙄😓
Your tutorials are on point! I’m an amateur but since I subscribed to your channel and watched a few of your videos my game has improved. Keep doing what you’re doing.
First video on Madden playbook recommendations I've watched........ Being playing Madden for almost 15 years now... Play it if not everyday every other day
I use the bengals playbook and like that formation where you motion the outside guy out. I will run to the outside the other direction a couple times after motioning that guy out. After a couple big runs they will user that guy out and leave that oustide guy 1 on 1 deep. It's a great formation.
I’d like to see how this works in game. It’s easy to defend a play when you know what the play is. I use this coverage a lot though out of a 3-4 and it’s pretty solid.
This was excellent! Thank you for explaining how Cover 4 Palms works, and for explaining how to use it against several types of popular plays and formations!
You look vulnerable on the seam route. The qb has to get rid of it quick though before the receiver gets deep in the secondary. Also when you lock up medium and deep passes you are exposed to qb runs and passes to the flat.
What would you say the min speed of the corners need to be to run this. A lot of the good man corners in CFM are on around 88-90 speed. Is that sufficient?
In my experience when using zone coverage the speed isn't that huge of an issue. You obviously don't want an 85 speed corner or safety, but you can get away with an 88-89 corner as long as they have high play rec / awareness and good zone coverage.
What are the best defensive coaching adjustments? I know that base align is one, but should i have them play ball or reciever and should i have them do aggressive tackles to try and cause more fumbles?
This coverage is amazing I just have one complaint I found when I used this online I was using the Browns and #95 RE and X factor player. When I tried taking him out of the RE and moved him to DT it didn’t let me. Then when I try to put him back to RE. His name is gone and I was not able to put him back in the game at all. It’s a glitch because it practice mode it works fine. Any ideas ????
Ok so this is a comment from another vid I commented on. So in big nickel over g I use the Browns online and that formation let’s you take your RE and LE out and sub them for Lb. I take #95 which is my X factor player, I take him out and then I try to put him in as a nose tackle and I can’t. His name isn’t there. So when I go to put him back in the game as a RE I can’t. His name is gone completely lol it’s a glitch. Because in practice mode it works. But not online.
Non madden related but you’re the go to source. isn’t there supposed to a court case for the potential NCAA game comeback later this month or next month?
Hey man!!! What about the over g is there anything new out that formation this year that you came up with I been using that formation ever since you made a video on it last year and I love it lol 😂
My titans dont have a dominant pass rusher. Casey a solid dlineman...does this stop mobile qbs...my homies play with the texans and ravens...jackson and watson killin me
Thanks a lot! I found your channel when I first got Madden and you have helped me so much! Now I am really good at Madden and never lose to other people. You have helped me so much!
Really good video, just started madden again this year after a few years, and I cant believe how much your videos have helped me on defense. One question, maybe you've covered this, I can stop most pass plays and runs, but when someone's using a quick quarterback like Russell Wilson, no matter what I do, I cant stop them and if i do they find another way to run em. How can i stop these guys. Thanks
What about those player who uses the same plays you used in this videos, bell out the pocket roll to the right or left and wait for the reciever to come down and find a open spot. How do you apply some pressure to keep inside.
Hey bro I appreciate the video, how do I make other defensive adjustments if I'm playing zone defense, blitzing or man coverage. Help please. I'm new at the game and still learning and practicing.
Yo eric, i have say "thank you"! I started playing madden 4 weeks ago and your videos helped me to develop to a player who gets clearly more wins than losses. Keep going :)
How come I can't see any of my stats??? I play head to head and when you go to see your last opponent stats should come up but they dont. Is there anything I can do?? Love your page. Thank you.
Last year this coverage was based of zone stats not man coverage stats. Even though it’s man to man it uses the players zone defense ratings Deuce close found this out by testing it last year
So I ran these as my base pass defense for two games. I gave up at least 4 60 plus yard touchdowns. The play absolutely gets destroyed by mobile qbs. If they get of the pocket it’s over for you
Andre Bass who you got pass rushing? I have 91 Lawrence Taylor and 92 Von Miller on the edges and both of them have edge threat and power specialist abilities and they get to the quarterback really quickly, especially if they try to run outside the pocket lol I haven’t ran this particular play, I usually just use nickel normal Tampa 2 in passing situations with some adjustments and they get to the QB super fast. I was just wondering who your pass rushers were if they weren’t getting any pressure.
Be careful running cover 4 palms (I never use it). On certain plays, the safety will dumb out and give up a TD. Regardless if it's a Superstar or X factor defender.
Best Defense coverages : Mix up Coverages. Man Coverage works great this year with elite corners. Teams with best secondary : Denver, LAC, Browns, Dallas, no glaring weaknesses in secondary. I’m missing a team or two. I can’t think.
Matt M I said Rams. Pats not so much. You can throw opposite of Gilmore all day depending on team. ... jags are weaker in the Safety department when running cover 1 or 0
Reason I ask Sherman is a 90 man coverage. Other DBS 70s . But Bosa and Dee Ford are two superstar . Rushers on there . Tried it in practice . Noticed formation worked as long as I was on user control.
It won't show the ranking and stats of whoever I just played online! I wanna see who I beat and lossed to. Also my players keep switching spots when I audible. I put them there for a reason. 😤
thats madden... sometimes my plays wont even show up in my playbook. if i select one none of my players are on the field.. it gets pretty irritating. i have a video on my page.
Bro! always been a fan but this video right here just made me soooooo much better. I got a 82 overall keeping up with people that have 88s on their team. Thanks man!
Hey man wazzup. I am looking for the video u did showing the blitz from the guy u mentioned in the video. I cant recall his name but it starts with a M.
Now I give you your props on this I just seen this today and I had a game in my league from a guy who is feeling himself and pass heavy long story short this Defense locked him down 4 big picks one pick 6 he mad as fuck they was playing too good and I had 5 Big Sacks Good looking on this one

I love this in Big Nickel. Even if you sub out the slot safety for a corner, it plays the run better than the normal nickel
I Love Watching Your Videos...
Question... Why Do You Never Show Us In Game, Gameplay(Online) Using these “Unstoppable” Strategies, Because Playing In Practice & Vs CPU is way different than playing another person ...
My issue with these youtube videos. Yeah cool, thanks for a loss lmao
Because it doesn’t work. I bet you he has an 90 overall ultimate team and didn’t do a damn thing to earn those players. Maybe he did but now a days dudes are posting videos that say “BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYBOOK IN MADDEN” and then you see they have 95 CBS and 93 safeties 🙄🙄😓
I know when I try these for the most part it works and I have a 80 overall team I just make very minor adjustments. I normally use a dollar set
This works all day like he says he just watch the yellow zone use that guy and ur good to go. If u say it dont work u ait tryed it
Nate Cortopassi what are u talking about he’s literally not playing with mut team he’s playing reg’s
I must say...dude's videos have much improved from last year. I like how he gives both sides to "the best XYZ"....
You’ve improved my madden skills by leaps and bounds thanks Eric
Thanks Eric. My boy kept running this crossing play that I couldn’t stop. I just used this Defense and beat him 51-0. Had 5 picks and 7 sacks.
Your tutorials are on point! I’m an amateur but since I subscribed to your channel and watched a few of your videos my game has improved. Keep doing what you’re doing.
First video on Madden playbook recommendations I've watched........ Being playing Madden for almost 15 years now... Play it if not everyday every other day
Do you have a video on how to stop the deep out routes? People are killing me with these 15/20 yard outs. It's basically a free play.
I use the bengals playbook and like that formation where you motion the outside guy out. I will run to the outside the other direction a couple times after motioning that guy out. After a couple big runs they will user that guy out and leave that oustide guy 1 on 1 deep. It's a great formation.

This was excellent! Thank you for explaining how Cover 4 Palms works, and for explaining how to use it against several types of popular plays and formations!
Everybody I play do slants all the time. What's good to stop slants?
You look vulnerable on the seam route. The qb has to get rid of it quick though before the receiver gets deep in the secondary. Also when you lock up medium and deep passes you are exposed to qb runs and passes to the flat.
Thanks man I used to suck at madden until I found your videos on madden 18
I hope they fix the dline it's to overpowering

I just need to stop the short pass to center of field. My buddy nails it every time.
You gotta user bro
Facts all I use is 4 palms and 4 lock palms it’s usually unstoppable and can still get a good blitz with it!
Hey man!!! What about the over g is there anything new out that formation this year that you came up with I been using that formation ever since you made a video on it last year and I love it lol 😂
I started running this yesterday out of know where against the falcons , and it was working !
Great to see it’s actually used , I may need to start my own page lol
I had my eye on this play.. I appreciate the info bro👍🏾👍🏾
My titans dont have a dominant pass rusher. Casey a solid dlineman...does this stop mobile qbs...my homies play with the texans and ravens...jackson and watson killin me

Dr Card Lector qb spy
Thanks for tip Im in Franchise mode year 2026 with 9ers Def overall 81 and with this D cove 4 palms man I just got 5 picks 2 by a OLB
When running this, should I make any defensive adjustments or make any substitutions or no
I got torched doing this. I still fw your vids tho
Do you have a video or strategy on how to defend against the new RB/WR screen plays??? Thanks!
Yea press them on the outside
Only thing I see that it almost impossible to get an interception with an LB now. That's why so many guys user a safety.
I get a user pick alreast once or twice a game with lb
Use the Mills concept to beat this. Shallow Cross. Deep In with Post. Post will bomb this after the FS takes the deep in route. Good video here!
Thanks for your time you put in for the pointers
is this in the multiple defense play book
First time using it right now got a pick sick, thank you!
What about those player who uses the same plays you used in this videos, bell out the pocket roll to the right or left and wait for the reciever to come down and find a open spot. How do you apply some pressure to keep inside.
The Quarter defense has been my 4th quarter with a lead defense for years. They have to throw and prevent is for suckers
Hey bro I appreciate the video, how do I make other defensive adjustments if I'm playing zone defense, blitzing or man coverage. Help please. I'm new at the game and still learning and practicing.
Man thank you all people do is those bunch corner routes!
the AI burns me with that sht all the time-especially when they need quick points.
Yo eric, i have say "thank you"! I started playing madden 4 weeks ago and your videos helped me to develop to a player who gets clearly more wins than losses. Keep going :)
You play H2H or MUT
How come I can't see any of my stats??? I play head to head and when you go to see your last opponent stats should come up but they dont. Is there anything I can do?? Love your page. Thank you.
Thomas Rosa same
Bro you got 80 unread notification. Just press the R3 button or whatever it is in the menu lol. Or just leave it for people to comment =p
Whats the difference between Cover 4 Palms and Quarters?
Another play that beats that is in the same formation called slot cross and hot route the streak to a back side slant
Last year this coverage was based of zone stats not man coverage stats. Even though it’s man to man it uses the players zone defense ratings
Deuce close found this out by testing it last year
So I ran these as my base pass defense for two games. I gave up at least 4 60 plus yard touchdowns. The play absolutely gets destroyed by mobile qbs. If they get of the pocket it’s over for you

I was just wondering who your pass rushers were if they weren’t getting any pressure.
James Adkins III I was playing online standard ranked. Chargers good pass rushe
Andre Bass oh, that is weird because they got Joey bosa. Idk, are you hitting left on the directional pad and crashing your defensive line outside?
You’re the man bro! Love this defensive set.
How is this against the run?
It looks like this might be the new D for coverage. How long have you been holding on to this? This is killer! Bravo my man!
Be careful running cover 4 palms (I never use it). On certain plays, the safety will dumb out and give up a TD. Regardless if it's a Superstar or X factor defender.
Best Defense coverages : Mix up Coverages.
Man Coverage works great this year with elite corners.
Teams with best secondary : Denver, LAC, Browns, Dallas, no glaring weaknesses in secondary. I’m missing a team or two. I can’t think.
Andre Swagassi Rams, Pats, and Jags
Ravens are great too. Two elite corners, decent safeties.
Matt M I said Rams. Pats not so much. You can throw opposite of Gilmore all day depending on team. ... jags are weaker in the Safety department when running cover 1 or 0
1337b3nnyvav00m 1 elite safety , no elite corners. Marlon Humphrey? Nahhh
Bears
Do u press on this? The problem is stock the corners play way off the line
Really nice breakdown.
Hi Eric do you have a defense that stops short passes an the middle
Need a play to stop level sails, especially when they put the other half on all slants
Madx that play borderline unstoppable..flat route to rb, te corner route..2 short in routes...i run that 4 5 times a game
How do you stop a speed demon wr on streak routes? I get burned all the time
This a good play but a simple out route with the outside receiver is all it take beat this play
What if they got a running QB like D Watson ??
Heavyano Harding dollar sky press
What’s defensive assist do in while in defensive persuit?
Does the play still run man zone if u change the purple zone to flat or cloud?
What play book is this
Awesome vid once again! So there's no set up? Do you advice spread and/or crash out d line or just leave em? For better pressure?
Does this work on mobile quarterbacks?
Time for people to run this 20 times a game
Great video....but the ravens do have a 92 rated DT. He is as good as as superstar pass rusher lol
What about the stretch runs,how are you defending those with this play?
Simple tackle that dam guy
After the patch no more pass rush
Cover 1 and cover 2 man works really well
I watch this when u came with it for 19. Been working ever since
So it goes off their man cover rating even though the playart is technically zone?
Question will this play work with the. Niners defense?
Reason I ask Sherman is a 90 man coverage. Other DBS 70s . But Bosa and Dee Ford are two superstar . Rushers on there . Tried it in practice . Noticed formation worked as long as I was on user control.
Thank you bro! Show people how to at least contain those outside runs
Tomorrow I got you
What’s the best way to stop drag routes?
Hard flats helps
It won't show the ranking and stats of whoever I just played online! I wanna see who I beat and lossed to.
Also my players keep switching spots when I audible. I put them there for a reason. 😤
thats madden... sometimes my plays wont even show up in my playbook. if i select one none of my players are on the field.. it gets pretty irritating. i have a video on my page.
Awesome video my dude.. very educational..
would palms be db's man or zone stat?
Bro! always been a fan but this video right here just made me soooooo much better. I got a 82 overall keeping up with people that have 88s on their team. Thanks man!
Mannnn I do all this and I can’t get a stop on all madden.. make a video on how to make all madden even remotely fun..
Great breakdown on this defense
Hey ericrayweather like your channel your plays r very helpful man keep it up
Why is your other corner just way out of the play? 5:00 specifically
So you don’t touch the clouds at all?
great content as always
How are you guys playing with all the Lagging, EA needs to fix some of that lag blitz thats killing the game
Hey man wazzup. I am looking for the video u did showing the blitz from the guy u mentioned in the video. I cant recall his name but it starts with a M.
What about the Eagles? Cuz I don’t have the game yet and idk if they have good man to man players
Eagles corners are trash but fletcher cox gone raise hell for ya
Krackbaby85 RehabforSuckas Bet thanks 💯
Can we send blitz out of the formation
Can someone explain why we can't see other's win/loss records and each record we have of each team we played with?
Cuz madden is garbage
What about Shotgun Tight formation
You out did yourself in this one man! You showed us example against some of the most common OP plays and the weaknesses to the play also.
Make a trades video for franchise.
Thanks Eric gotta test this out on my son he beat me this weekend lol!
Eric my son keep using the crossing routes and this def still didn't stop it smh!!!
@@davidcampbell215 Haha try to send a LB on edge and drop back your DE on opposite side to middle. Make him panic!
Was wondering if you dropped a video about what coaching adjustments you use on defense!?
Great vid bro,, thx :)
Please set up a video to stop Cam Newton from from running like crazy for 15 yards before being touched...
Shawn C. Wages put middle linebacker on qb spy
Now I give you your props on this I just seen this today and I had a game in my league from a guy who is feeling himself and pass heavy long story short this Defense locked him down 4 big picks one pick 6 he mad as fuck they was playing too good and I had 5 Big Sacks Good looking on this one
So what’s the play in the thumbnail
E Ray I'm Having Problems with my cousin doing the same four wide play he motions the RB and hitting him deep
Just send a blitz
