Yeah receivers and DB animations still favor the DB. I threw it up to Tee Higgins against a 5’10 corner and got Mossed by the DB one on one. Mind you Higgins is 6’4
You make it sound so easy, but this is a lot to remember lol I'm trying to get better at defense in Madden 22. I'm in an online franchise playing as the Bears.
@@Vorzilla You have to set your play up as quick as possible. Set your audibles up to have these plays ready if you're interested in actually using them
It’s good to mix it up. If you do a lot of coverage he’ll just sit there let routes develop. If you see he’s only blocking 5 and get the pressure you’ll make it hard on him to figure you out
Big thing also, when running Mike blitz 3 against gun bunch you can’t press especially against the Seahawks bunch because the fade route on the line side receiver is a one play TD against an outside third and the fade with a corner on bunch now beats a third too
Either do Engage eight or you can actually use Cover 4 Quarters.. depending on the offense your ROLB will be rushing and is really good at getting into the gaps and they are also not rushing to the outside with it
So ive been using this qgainst q friend bc all he does is roll out wit his qb and throw down field to a slant and my zones seem to fall apart. So i said screw it and sent the blitz every time and shut it down
Looks like you have receivers running into coverage. I would have been sent the slot receiver on an in route. Of course the outside WR can’t get open bc he has too much ground to make up coming from the far right to center. But that slot will beat the blitz every time
Have you or know of people getting ERROR: Unable to retrieve your information from EA Servers? If so, do you have a fix? I've been scouring for a fix... kind of sucks the first game I play on my new PS5 is Madden 22 and I can't event enjoy it.
Hi Eric congrats for your vids 👌 For the mike blitz 3 coverage Is it the same thing if i let the CB cover the curl flat and put my OLB on the hard flat ? Adjustement for curl flat hard flat and hook please. Thank you
Why do you recommend the giants or bears playbook when using this defensive formation? What are the differences when using those 2 specific playbooks versus the others?
I feel like they screwing up. I feel like madden 21 was actually a good madden Them tweaking this stuff too s throwing it off. I know a guy who works for EA and he said they specifically made this way to make it more offense oriented. It would be cool to see AI become more reactive in their own if a guy is running the same play I think. Cause I’m real football some one running the same play wouldn’t work.
My QB contain is inconsistent. When I play against others who contain, their defensive ends come off their blocks instantly. With my defense not so much and I have Mcginest and Rousseau. What am I doing wrong? I’ve heard that rushing 4 is better than 3 regarding contain
This makes no sense that the RB don't attempt to block lol but good scheme in shoot gun the qb should not be dropping back but it's a game but that wide receiver slant should stop this defense I like seeing your videos it feels like a chess match
Is there a reason why most of these are in practice mode? Because even if what is said is followed word by word and move by move it doesn't work on computer. Is this for pvp?
Idk the curl flats are pretty awful, if i put it at 25 they just play too far back and if i put it at 20 they aren’t close enough to the receiver to stop the catch
They're all broken and EA has even acknowledged it. We don't have to pass everything off as "just adjust better". The zones are broken, whether you're good at adjusting or not doesn't make broken zones ok.
Disagree with that. Zones are real bad…chew clock is a better option as a defense because this year on defense you’re trying to slow them down more than stop
this doesn’t work i did this exact same set up 5 games straight. the other player had at least 4 seconds in the pocket every time. i got 0 sacks and a few pressures. this defense is just horrible
I don’t understand, what are the benefits of moving your olb to the line of scrimmage?? Wouldn’t it be easier to just already lurk that middle area than to risk having to drop back?
I get disconnected from the EA Servers every time I finish a game in my cloud franchise. Any ideas how I could fix that? The EA Support couldnt help me, and I have tried so many thing to fix that (Opened ports, restarted router etc.) but nothing helped.
Madden garbage the cpu on pro simulation with pick your defense apart! Trash game so unrealistic the fact that ppl still play this game is crazy! 2K would smoke EA by a mile if they were able to make a game. Btw good videos you be posting

Hey Eric, great stuff. On this website, are the plays in an ebook form or all videos?
What if you don’t have time to do all that on d
Unrelated, but is anyone else getting pissed about how frequently DBs high point for a pick but receivers rarely high point?
Yeah receivers and DB animations still favor the DB. I threw it up to Tee Higgins against a 5’10 corner and got Mossed by the DB one on one. Mind you Higgins is 6’4
The run game balances it since it’s so easy to run the ball
@@dangiloh6004 The short guy has to win sometimes😂
Yeah lol they always get a perfect timing user pick but there’s no such thing as perfect timing user catch
Yes!!!!!
I've been running that scheme for the past 3 years
Thank you my defense has gotten so much better ! I got way more stops then i usually do especially on 3rd & long situations
Aye man just wanted to tell you how much of a goat you are.. these adjustment most definitely work. Keep grinding buddy…
You’re so good at explaining stuff and going into details, one of the better videos out there
You make it sound so easy, but this is a lot to remember lol I'm trying to get better at defense in Madden 22. I'm in an online franchise playing as the Bears.
It all becomes muscle memory after you do it for a bit, you just gotta get through the tough stage.
@@Vorzilla You have to set your play up as quick as possible. Set your audibles up to have these plays ready if you're interested in actually using them
This stuff is on point......but damn for rookies like myself you go so fast with the changing of the line and coverages
@1:25 I've never thought to do this. I always put those outside guys in coverage. This is way better
It’s good to mix it up. If you do a lot of coverage he’ll just sit there let routes develop. If you see he’s only blocking 5 and get the pressure you’ll make it hard on him to figure you out
@@tenshi3858 Yeah that makes sense. I haven't ran into many players that figure things out quickly though. I'm not high up in the ranks lol
Bro you're always bringing that 🔥⚜️
You already know!
Here before Eric burner
Big thing also, when running Mike blitz 3 against gun bunch you can’t press especially against the Seahawks bunch because the fade route on the line side receiver is a one play TD against an outside third and the fade with a corner on bunch now beats a third too
Thanks man
Eric, in the Mike Blitz 3 coverage defense, can you leave the 3 rec to help over the middle?
Can you please make a video for stopping the run for 4-3 thanks
Either do Engage eight or you can actually use Cover 4 Quarters.. depending on the offense your ROLB will be rushing and is really good at getting into the gaps and they are also not rushing to the outside with it
How do you set the yards on your zone coverage?
Bro with the way the user is this year, i don't see you being able to cover the entire middle by yourself...
@@porte568 yeah
Been waiting for this since the update
So ive been using this qgainst q friend bc all he does is roll out wit his qb and throw down field to a slant and my zones seem to fall apart. So i said screw it and sent the blitz every time and shut it down
I run a cover on quarters. That way the field is covered
Just be careful on a deep vertical throw on the left or the right sideline. Especially if you're up against a really good receiver.
Can you do a video breaking down what each purple and blue zones cover
Question: when do you wanna run mike blitz 3 & when do you stitch to mike blitz 0. What’s the difference?
Can you show the other setup where we don’t have to blitz that much people?
Looks like you have receivers running into coverage. I would have been sent the slot receiver on an in route. Of course the outside WR can’t get open bc he has too much ground to make up coming from the far right to center. But that slot will beat the blitz every time
Even the hard flat drops are 20-25 adjusted
What play book we use ?
Have you or know of people getting ERROR: Unable to retrieve your information from EA Servers? If so, do you have a fix? I've been scouring for a fix... kind of sucks the first game I play on my new PS5 is Madden 22 and I can't event enjoy it.
Can we get a updated video? This scheme is still working for me as good anymore
I want to play this guy so bad
Are the tips you giving good for both current gen and next gen? I have an Xbox 1. Wanted to make sure the tips will still work the same.
Clear as mud
Eric can you write the setup for the blitz in here please. Just want to make sure I have writtern down what you said exactly
So many slant routes open. So easy to beat
Hi Eric congrats for your vids 👌
For the mike blitz 3 coverage Is it the same thing if i let the CB cover the curl flat and put my OLB on the hard flat ?
Adjustement for curl flat hard flat and hook please. Thank you
When of defense when pressing the back L2 n R2 at the same time how do u turn tht off tht has cost me alot of games it blocks the screen
Does this work on current gen?
This is what mess the whole game up glitches just play straight up football madden used to be so much fun back in the day
Could not get it to work. Idk what I am doing wrong.
Lol this is similar to what Phil Snow was doing to your Saints a couple weeks ago with the 3-3-5
Don't remind me lol
When I pinch my DL the hook that the DE is on doesn’t change to a blitz like your video shows. Am I doin something wrong?
What's a good run defense set up out of this
Is there a reason everyone putting LBs on Curl Flats & DB’s I’n Cloud flats ?
My issue is that I never have time to make the adjustments
HB is open every play. bubble screen rpo all day too.
Somebody didn't pay attention.
Damn good video
It worked 💪
Is it possible to do all this with someone who snaps the ball fast?
Why do you recommend the giants or bears playbook when using this defensive formation?
What are the differences when using those 2 specific playbooks versus the others?
If you're just using this formation the pb doesn't matter. I just prefer the Bears cause they have other Nickel formations I like to mix in as well.
What side should user be on if they're in a spread shotgun with no HB?
So giants or bears whats the best ?
What should be the numbers for the 3 zone drops?
Does this only work on next gen
How do rbt have more subs than you lol
Great video
I feel like they screwing up.
I feel like madden 21 was actually a good madden
Them tweaking this stuff too s throwing it off. I know a guy who works for EA and he said they specifically made this way to make it more offense oriented.

Does this work on old gen? I’m trying it and getting nothing.
I get 0 pass rush when I run this defense …
I got a play that will eat that defense up 😆
How do you stop the run
Does anyone know if this will be good on current gen too?
Mclovin
How does one get a captains patch on your player in franchise?
Go into the player card and then set as captain is one of the on the left hand side
Crash left. Pinch lbs. got it
Does it work on Xbox one tho?
I ran this a few games and didn’t get any sacks
Can you set your zone drops on ps4 Eric Rayweather?
Yes
@@EricRayweather Do you have a video on it or can you tell me how?
The middle is always wide open. If they run double slants you will get killed. Any ideas?
That’s where you used your LB and take away the under route and your safety picks up the top route
would this be nano blitzing?
No. Nano blitzes don't really exist anymore.
The Seahawks have the worst O line. That defense is played out. Ran that before I was top 500. Run a 4-6 playbook
My boi
Is there a reason why most of these are in practice mode? Because even if what is said is followed word by word and move by move it doesn't work on computer. Is this for pvp?
I used this against users never got a sack ever
@@A-Bomb401 I get sacks. It's my pass defense that gets shredded.
@eric this doesn't seem to work as well on the older gen version
sooo all your opponent needs to do is snap the ball before you can do all these adjustments
The game makes you wait 5 seconds before you can snap, this doesn't take 5 seconds to set up.
@@EricRayweather Eric, when you use the coverage defense, can you leave the 3 rec to help over the middle?
Wont cap I think madden patched this defense cause I set it up exact same and can’t stop anything whatsoeve
Funny when I hear zones are bad 😂. If you think they’re bad you need to learn how to adjust better. Because they work just fine
Idk the curl flats are pretty awful, if i put it at 25 they just play too far back and if i put it at 20 they aren’t close enough to the receiver to stop the catch
They're all broken and EA has even acknowledged it. We don't have to pass everything off as "just adjust better". The zones are broken, whether you're good at adjusting or not doesn't make broken zones ok.

@@EricRayweather idk. I don’t have issues. My coverage I get alot of picks

I don’t understand, what are the benefits of moving your olb to the line of scrimmage?? Wouldn’t it be easier to just already lurk that middle area than to risk having to drop back?
It’s so the offensive line sees you as a pass rusher, that’s what creates the confusion and the blitz on the outside runs free
4:55

Hmm
this doesn’t work players don’t even blitz
From my personal experience it works against certain players.. Most people that run heavy kills this play all the time

does this work against the computer in franchise mode?
