Hey man, you should consider doing some videos in a quiz format. Like you show the offensive play art at line of scrimmage, maybe a clip of some motion so we can get a read on man or zone, then pause it and ask "Would you do A/B/C" with hot routes, protections, etc.
This has to be one of the most useful videos for the game so far. So many of the o-lines just disintegrate in this game unless you know what to do. Absolutely vital to have this advice!
You’re the GOAT of Madden videos, i love learning real concepts you can use and not video game cheese. I’d enjoy full length uncut games with your commentary on every decision, I think lots of ppl would, maybe a subscriber only feature? I’d pay monthly for that 👍 great work!!
@kurtbenkert I don’t comment much on your videos, but just wanted you to know between CFB 25, and Madden 24 - you have helped me take my game to the next level. Your personal exp as a QB and football knowledge translated into the games is tremendously helpful and the break downs you do. You’re definitely out there achieving what John Madden wanted with the game and teaching others about football. Great stuff! Really enjoy your content.
Thank you so much for making this. I knew I needed to set protections but I didn't know what I was looking at. It also grows my actual football knowledge too so thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏
With Kurt’s football experience and the amount of detail in this game (you can literally do whatever you want from the line) he might just be the best player in this game lol
A thing of beauty, the learning curve in this game is steep and knowing these concepts just give you an added advantage. These are the types of technical videos I love and I can tell it's your bread and butter!
I played football back when we didn’t learn all this stuff. I had to watch this a few times to get. My sons talk about stuff I’ve never heard of. I’m learning all the new lingo.
I absolutely love your channel. Have since I found you a while back. The way you break down offense from the view of a real QB is amazing. I really want this game. Thank you for your hard work.
Hey man, I’ve been a fan of watching football and enjoying the technical/tactical aspect of it, thank you so much for providing detailed information like this because it helps me learn a lot about the game and compete, I’m still new learner but your videos help me a lot! Thank you so much for your knowledges !
Just came across your videos cause but glad I did! I appreciated how in depth you go in when explaining and showing game examples to help learn that shit better, you're the man!
Proud of you bro I follow you on insta too I can definitely see you as oc coordinator on a college team one day nfl . The way your innovating things your a master at and getting business off of it is brilliant . Funny my dad would hate me playing madden growing up now that I’m older he admits how much it could teach you 😂Much success to the benkerts.
just downloaded Foundations and i can already tell it’s a knockout in terms of understanding the nuances of the game. thank you for all the effort you put into helping people learn.
If you’ve played College football 1-4 years or played at a good HS program, this stuff is very easy to learn and apply. However, look at some basic pass protection schemes, techniques on RUclips for real life then come back to this video. It should become easier. I was a running back thus I needed to know my assignment plus I took it on myself to always learn my OL so encase its a miss read I can alert my QB or take the risk to add to my assigned blocks (sorry coaches lol)
Has anyone else experienced not seeing any of the lines when choosing pass protection to show who is going where? Mines never showed since the game dropped.
Yes! It’s so frustrating.. so many of the pre snap adjustments on offense and defense don’t register for me.. didn’t know if it’s bc it’s online or what but I’d love to hear a fix
Thank you for the video, but we shouldn't have to do all of this. The blocking is broken, and even the sliders don't fix it. Played with LSU against Bama on All American in Dynasty. Their pass rushers were running on turbo. I couldn't even complete a screen pass to the RB, so I had to resort to the same few cheap plays to win. My blockers would literally stand there doing nothing, while their front line were all Lawrence Taylor reincarnated. And if you do get the ball out, Deion Sanders is waiting at any position to intercept the ball. Meanwhile, my defense has the reaction time of a D3 DB. A patch is needed asap.
Really could use a video about how to read these disguised coverages in CFB 25. For example, showing a 2 shell when the defense is in cover 3. Can be tough to read pre-snap. Thanks for the great content.
There Is No Way To Tell Pre-Snap. Thats The Point Of The Shell. Make You Think Its A Different Coverage To Confuse You. You Just Have The Watch How The Safeties Drop After The Snap. That'll Tell You The Coverage Most The Time Unless It's Man Mixed With Zone, Then You Would Have To Check If Receivers Are Manned Up Or Not. Cuz Cover 2 Can Look Like 2 Man Under If You Just Watch The Safeties.
Dude your content is fuckin amazing man!!! Love the commentary and obviously your knowledge and expertise. Super enjoyable to watch man, across madden and now college ball
@@Glokktianano, it's bad. It's a video game. You shouldn't have to make 17 adjustments to run the football. Don't get me started on defenders making form tackles through blocks
Great video , I have a question , how should I arrange my pass protection if I’m a player that likes to scramble with my qb and I’m playing against a player that’s heavy blitz ? How do I adjust my o line to buy me some time ?
Hey Kurt, how the hell do you process everything so fast? I mean I get that reading coverages and shells you can key the position of the safeties and the leverage of the corners and overhang defenders, but I guess what I'm trying to say is those guys are out in space. When it comes to protections, there's all those defenders packed in the box and it takes me a little longer to sort out where the issues are. The play art helps, and they show an icon over the defender that's hot, but I'm wondering if there's some basic rules of thumb that you can go off of? Like, if you max protect against 2 high safeties, you should be blocked up. That's a rule of thumb I've heard JT O'Sullivan say. I'm not sure how to use that for gameplanning though. What I thought was if I max protect with 7 and the defense is 2 high, I shouldn't need any hots, I should be able to work all 3 of my routes downfield at the intermediate depth. If you kinda reverse engineer that thinking, if you are protecting with 6 or empty protection, or there's a single high safety, at least one defender somewhere is going to be hot because they still haven't coded dual reads into the protections. This is a huge improvement tho
The voiceover read for your guide sounded like it was gonna end with a 900 phone number. Lol jk. Love your content man. I’ve been recommending your channel when my buddies talk about NCAA 25.
Ok question during video I heard slide line then half slide left can you do two things are is it just gonna slide protect doing the last thing you did.
Okay so idk if this is a problem in head 2 head but at least for me in dynasty im having MAJOR problems wotj pass blocking amd the ai sending nano blitzes every plau ahainst me. At first i thoight it was what it was because i was playing st army witj a bad o line, but tjen i took a job at bama and the o line os 90+ across the board in my league and im getting MAYBE 1.5-2.5 seconds to throw. Am i bad ir is the pass blocking bad?
I use the Air Raid offense so sadly this like barely helps. I'd rather have my RB on a route than blocking, and I never have TEs, so usually only 5 blockers.
Hey man if you wanna get back on the NFL turf we desperately need a QB in Las Vegas. 😩 And if you’re up for it ill tell my people you’re an 18 year old 5 ⭐️ QB from Slab City and book you a trip to Tallahassee. My Seminoles are about to bust my last blood vessel. 💥

That would be sweet

Really liked this. Would also like an even more dumbed down video - when to use these based on what you’re looking at pre snap

Thank you for bringing football back to playing video games
i barely have enough time to hot route and motion 🤣🤣 let alone pass protect
accelerated clock?
As a much older player, this game is way faster than those older games I grew up with.
just downloaded Foundations and i can already tell it’s a knockout in terms of understanding the nuances of the game. thank you for all the effort you put into helping people learn.
Means the world to me man, a LOT of work put into it 🫡
Been watching you for a bit Kurt. I’ve been using your advice to make audibles for me team at the line
W video , Can’t wait for the how to read defenses along what to throw against them as well
Bro i was watching this like i was in a class 4 real. I was so hyped like get it gang!!!! You tha truth 😊😊😊
Man now I wanna see that whole game where bro was talking 😂😂
😂😂😂
Kurt! W video! Very informative
Thanks brother!
Bout to have my second kid in a few months I needed this video!
Was just looking for one of these videos yesterday
I don't have college football 25 yet so this would really help thanks Kurt
Man KB you are killing it man. Very much appreciated 🙏🏾
Thanks bro, this has helped me a lot!
You and Brett Kollman saved this game for me. I was getting so frustrated with the offensive line
Still don’t understand pass protection
Me too 😂 idk how many times I watched but it's also gonna be in Madden

Definitely had to sub up! What's your favorite Offense & Defense in the game so far?
Still working on it
Thank you for this. Very helpful.
Your content is sick, love watching your stuff
I’m definitely dialing in that last play in this video up…in a tournament Tuesday taking 📝
How do you get the red line showing how each players match up. Mine doesn’t show that
Bro just gained a new sub today. Your awesome bro!
Thanks man 🫡
@@KurtBenkertim getting user blitz every fucking play what do i do
Has anyone else experienced not seeing any of the lines when choosing pass protection to show who is going where? Mines never showed since the game dropped.
Same here was so confused watching this video even when I click over to full slide it doesn’t even register in practice mode anyway…
Yes! It’s so frustrating.. so many of the pre snap adjustments on offense and defense don’t register for me.. didn’t know if it’s bc it’s online or what but I’d love to hear a fix
I think it’s partly crowd noise and I think when it’s play action it’s not gunna adjust
Kurt you’re goated dawg. Thank you 🐐

How do you get the blocking to show up. When I hold the bumper I get the options but can’t see who is blocking who.
Same, I don’t get any of that stuff showing up. I’ve pressed every damn button on my controller!!!

Kurt we need that playbook !!!
You sir, just earned yourself a sub
I have the guide, I'm a little on the fence about it, but I'm going to read it again. (I think I'm ready for the next step in learning). LOL
What playbook do you use? I’ve been using Arizona so far but was wondering what you would recommend
OL blocking is absolute dog shit in this game lol
Great vid, now I just need the the CPU to not morph the DBs ahead of my receivers
Me applying all this information so my 75 overall qb has even more opportunities to throw inaccurate balls
Fr just to get blitz and savked
Get that 81 QB Dart from the welcome pack! If it’s CUT you’re talking about I mean
This is what I needed… I’ve been stressed out playing road to glory
the blocking is so bad in this game ngl
no it’s just mechanical

Can you make video walking through when to call these protections and exactly what you’re looking for when you do
Been messing with this and disguising shells at the playcall screen on D. Rage quits for days lol
The goat never fails

Some of the most useful content thank you
Nice video Kurt 💯🙏🏽
Kurt said it 1st 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks Kurt 💯
Full slide works well against odd fronts. Just slide away from an OLB and the back has him
Where are u streaming this content live from?? I would love to join and be apart of it in real time.

Hey Kurt love vids man can’t wait for you to make a diabolical playbook
could you post some full games on your channel?
For sure - had to get these teaching vids out first 🫡
do you stream ? i would love to watch this live
1:11 You can account for that nickel but you have to ID Him instead of the actual Mike. I’d only do it if you know for certain that guy is blitzing
KB’s just on another level
Much love
What is the best playbook for u Kurt? In CFB 25
love these videos, but when does the redemption series begin?!?
Sooooon 😈

Love the changes they made but there does need to be some tweaks. But I love that the devs swung for the fences with this game
aside from some of the bugs on defense, this game is goated
Thanks Mr Quarterback you are a goat !!!
Kurt chill out with that lighting brother. My girl is on this app
Thanks for this video tho
how do you see the protection lines?
I think it will be helpful to tell the audience what buttons you’re pushing, either by saying it or highlighting it on screen.
Bro hopped on the mic not knowing he going against a surgeon 😂
😂😂😂
That full slide with a mobile qb 🔥🔥
How! How did this guy not end up with a starting job. Forget CFB 25 this is a clinic on how to run an offense.
That last play was diabolical
I'm definitely spending the 50 on.. The Foundation: Digital Guide
You’ll love it 🫡
I use the Air Raid offense so sadly this like barely helps. I'd rather have my RB on a route than blocking, and I never have TEs, so usually only 5 blockers.
Do you use middle Hi-Lo and just create your own passing play every time? 😭 that’s my favorite play
Pretty much 😂😂😂
This game is a lot more difficulty than I remember it 😂😂 it’s super in depth I love it tho. I have to have a lot of practice in trash at it.
looking for a more beginner version of this
My o line pass protect is glitched ..doesn't work i knew i wasnt tripping
I swear we got to get this dude at Christmas gift

Hey man if you wanna get back on the NFL turf we desperately need a QB in Las Vegas. 😩 And if you’re up for it ill tell my people you’re an 18 year old 5 ⭐️ QB from Slab City and book you a trip to Tallahassee. My Seminoles are about to bust my last blood vessel. 💥
