Great tip but all i face in h2h or weekend league is the the same singleback tight slots run scheme from. Ir 3 TE hb dive. Madden 18 has turned into run Forrest run. Copy and paste players
Runs mixed with quick Slants over the middle inside WR N Outside WR SLANTS so u have that separation between slants making that MLB pick a guy n have middle Wr run a Bomb or Flag/Corner route to Draw defenders n u can even add a short hook route with ur RB in the middle n giving u another read + mix runs up the middle & also HB screens do well cuz ur line n WR can get out in front to block especially with the D having that many deep zones EDIT: Also if u have a QB who can Scramble & run that will help u against this D cuz there is nobody to account for the QB
Whenever I do this I hb based or the qb scrambles on me all game. Just tough to sit back like this all game imo. I understand to mix in pressures occasionally. I just can't stand how op bunch is and how everyone runs it
Hey Eric 3 in 1, what's the best running, passing, and balance pb from the two: SEA or NE? Like SEA is the better passing pb, NE is the better running pb
6:07 all u have to do is put RB in a Streak and leave that small post route with A and then put B on a slant and you'll have to choose between the slant and small post route bc your the only person in the middle
But if that happened ig you could take one of the linebackers you put on a hard flat and put him on a mid read to cover the slant while you usered the small post route 🤔
That's nice if you can get it in, but it's tough to get all those adjustments done in time. A lot of the time you don't have the time. You got any suggestions for a defense that is good against the drag/flat and the corner without having to do the hard flats manually?
How would u be able to stop scrambling qbs with this defense? Just a contain or a spy or both? Cuz once everything is locked up they will probably take off with their qb
u need to do a couple vids explaining cover 2 and cover 3 cause everytime I play someone they find a way to cover absolutely everything whether im bunch, spread, run, pass, pa, and yet I try the same thing and it doesn't work.
Yo E....this is good coverage BUT what I'm having trouble with is people who buy time and WRs get open off of broken plays...what do you do about that? Super frustrating
I run cover 4 drop if the CPU has less than 3 WRs. If the CPU has 3 or more I run 2-4-5 double A gap mid blitz. Bring the safeties down in front of whoever they are manned up on. If its the TE bring them down to about standard LB depth and a step inside the TE, if its the RB bring them down to standard LB depth and face up with the RB. I user one of the safeties so in case they run I can shoot the gap, and if it looks like a 4 verts formation I'll user the TE to make sure I take away that crosser. You'll get a ton of sacks. If its in a franchise you pretty much guarantee the LB that comes free on mid blitz will win DPOY.
Please Eric please break down the spread offense in madder 18. It's legitimately game changing the way it spreads the defense out on the field. I would love to hear your thoughts braking down the offense. Much love
Make a video about how to stop 4th and long. It happens to me far too much where my opponent gets no yards but on 4th down they get it damn near everytime. Its so frustrating
Hunter Thomas run a cover 3 or cover 4 with cloud flats. Eleven just using this Tampa 2 with the MLB in a deep blue would stop deep stuff, just don’t put the hard flats. You probably run the same defense all game and they just wait until 4th down to pull out the play that beats your coverage. You need to mix up your defense
The only offense I struggle with defending against is the Patriots. It's not even fair. They have like 4 good wide receivers and 2 running backs that can catch. Everytime I cover one route the player will just throw to the flats with ther running back or a short route to their wide receiver. What do I do to stop that?
Mayb I am just bad. Actually I am bad. I'm here to better myself. How do I do all these preplay adjustments in time before the snap? That is a lot of defensive adjustments.
Cool... unfortunately my online opponent isn't going to wait 30 seconds everytime for me to do all these changes... I don't have time to toggle between 4 different defenders dude. Give me a break
Hey Eric great video it made 10x better made it too all madden mut 1st team but I’m noticing I have no pass rush and can’t stop run but all over pass . Is their a counter I can use to still stop pass but get a little better run stoppage . It’s brought my game tons thx your dope brotha I look forward to you videos def ether the rest by far !! Been online since 2001 I’m dial up and you for sure no the game !
I run something similar to this but I don’t put people into hard flats instead I keep the guy blitzing and keep the guy in the hook curl so that if I miss something with my user then I can have backup and I can usually read if they are going to go over the top or underneath because of what they did in the game or just the down and distance like 3rd and 5-10 clouds 3rd and 1-5 hard and also on first cloud and second hard or cloud same read as 3rd down
EricRayweather Yeah, true that. So if a person runs a screen and you're surveying the middle of the field as the linebacker, wouldn't the middle of the field be open if you, the linebacker, commit to the screen? Assuming the QB has time

Manually usering them is always the best thing to do.
can you make a video about proper shading please
EricRayweather Man you have taught me soooooooo much...you have a special talent sir. I know its just a video game but idc....ur good.
I've always had a great offense but struggled on D. This helps a shit ton. Thanks.
most important thing is to mix this defensive play up with blitzes. otherwise routes would get open, and big scramble plays, great video.
Nice set up. A lot of adjustments but with some practice, I'm sure I can pull this off. Thanks for coming with the heat always
+Willie The Wine-O it won't take long bro just a little practice. Glad you liked it.
Thanks for your videos rayweather!! This defense is legitimately helping me win tons of games!! I️ got the post notifications on.
Good d but if the opponent has multiple routes going thru the middle that leaves your defense vulnerable
Do you have an videos where you talk about pass protection?
Great tip but all i face in h2h or weekend league is the the same singleback tight slots run scheme from. Ir 3 TE hb dive. Madden 18 has turned into run Forrest run. Copy and paste players
Is tight doubles in any playbooks this year? Close under play
Runs mixed with quick Slants over the middle inside WR N Outside WR SLANTS so u have that separation between slants making that MLB pick a guy n have middle Wr run a Bomb or Flag/Corner route to Draw defenders n u can even add a short hook route with ur RB in the middle n giving u another read + mix runs up the middle & also HB screens do well cuz ur line n WR can get out in front to block especially with the D having that many deep zones
EDIT: Also if u have a QB who can Scramble & run that will help u against this D cuz there is nobody to account for the QB
It’ll take a long time to set all of that up. I’ll have to practice the setup. Thanks for the info though. You’re awesome!!
This guy is THE best madden reviewer/tutorial guy ever
Thank you
EricRayweather omg I can't believe you commented back
what do the letters above cornerbacks heads mean?
will i have to do these adjustments on every down? am i gonna have to learn how to make these adjustments quickly before each snap?
Eric can you do best coaching adjustments in game right now for offensive & defense
Yeah I'll get that on the list bro
Ok
If you hit the B route a little bit sooner then it's a 10 yard gain
thelanealan exactly. And I've noticed nobody is replying to your comment because they love his video. But the B receiver has all field to exploit
How well does this stop the run?
Bruh you are the beholder of all Madden knowledge🙌🏾😂
Thanks man. Always trying to help!
Is this affective against slants?
Thankyou cause the dudes i play are absolutely terrible but the glitch my zones & the steelers arent good enough for man so thanks
i’m mad i never thought about doing that with the other line backers, i used to put my 2 deep blues in clouds but the deep field was always open
Awesome video bro what system do you play on
Whenever I do this I hb based or the qb scrambles on me all game. Just tough to sit back like this all game imo. I understand to mix in pressures occasionally. I just can't stand how op bunch is and how everyone runs it

Does it help with the run game too?
How do you know when/where to pass a player off to the next defender?
On this play, just pass them off when they reach the hash marks.
That's nice if you can get it in, but it's tough to get all those adjustments done in time. A lot of the time you don't have the time. You got any suggestions for a defense that is good against the drag/flat and the corner without having to do the hard flats manually?
te angle , split close hb wheel , stretch runs , hb wham . everybody playbook in madden smh 🤦🏾♂️. oh yeah teams used : Falcons , seahawks
One massive flaw with this play, alot of times theres no pressure. If they sit in the pocket for a minute the coverage breaks and they get easy yards.
yes, the QB will scramble and then something opens up
Wide receiver screen would exploit that defense
+xavier olvera no, the double flats would play it well, all you have to do is clean it up with your user defender.
How would u be able to stop scrambling qbs with this defense? Just a contain or a spy or both? Cuz once everything is locked up they will probably take off with their qb
u need to do a couple vids explaining cover 2 and cover 3 cause everytime I play someone they find a way to cover absolutely everything whether im bunch, spread, run, pass, pa, and yet I try the same thing and it doesn't work.
how about running the ball on the weak side of the defense
Yo dawg, how can we get this in the Atlanta Playbook. If not what’s the next best thing?
Yo E....this is good coverage BUT what I'm having trouble with is people who buy time and WRs get open off of broken plays...what do you do about that? Super frustrating
Is there a quicker way to set this up? In most online games I don't have enough time to set it up before the ball is snapped.
+Nick Baskerville only thing you can do is practice getting quicker. It's crucial to having success on defense.
Whats the best 3-4 set play to shut down the cpu? I dont play online at all
I run cover 4 drop if the CPU has less than 3 WRs. If the CPU has 3 or more I run 2-4-5 double A gap mid blitz. Bring the safeties down in front of whoever they are manned up on. If its the TE bring them down to about standard LB depth and a step inside the TE, if its the RB bring them down to standard LB depth and face up with the RB. I user one of the safeties so in case they run I can shoot the gap, and if it looks like a 4 verts formation I'll user the TE to make sure I take away that crosser. You'll get a ton of sacks.

Please Eric please break down the spread offense in madder 18. It's legitimately game changing the way it spreads the defense out on the field. I would love to hear your thoughts braking down the offense. Much love
I'll look into it bro. Just been busy lately.
Make a video about how to stop 4th and long. It happens to me far too much where my opponent gets no yards but on 4th down they get it damn near everytime. Its so frustrating
Hunter Thomas run a cover 3 or cover 4 with cloud flats. Eleven just using this Tampa 2 with the MLB in a deep blue would stop deep stuff, just don’t put the hard flats. You probably run the same defense all game and they just wait until 4th down to pull out the play that beats your coverage. You need to mix up your defense
Can u pls tell me how to stop those hb wham and runs up the middle?
Aj Entertainment 34 bear cover 2 invert base align and crash line up
Chaz Hatchett thanks bro👍
This defense legit got me 5 picks within the 2 minute worming 💯💯
4 pick six's total. This defense is fire, much love man
The only offense I struggle with defending against is the Patriots. It's not even fair. They have like 4 good wide receivers and 2 running backs that can catch. Everytime I cover one route the player will just throw to the flats with ther running back or a short route to their wide receiver. What do I do to stop that?
I appreciate the recognition of the best defense in the league Duuuuvvvvaaalllll
DTWD
Super bowl
Mayb I am just bad. Actually I am bad. I'm here to better myself. How do I do all these preplay adjustments in time before the snap? That is a lot of defensive adjustments.
+j beat it really just comes down to repetition. It's muscle memory. The more you do it the faster you get.
Cool... unfortunately my online opponent isn't going to wait 30 seconds everytime for me to do all these changes... I don't have time to toggle between 4 different defenders dude. Give me a break
Eric, I mean Mr. Rayweather, how do YOU stop the wildcat?
Silverfox10 Sam 3 Blitz... pinch d line absolute clamps
Can't wait to try this play.
Hey Eric great video it made 10x better made it too all madden mut 1st team but I’m noticing I have no pass rush and can’t stop run but all over pass . Is their a counter I can use to still stop pass but get a little better run stoppage . It’s brought my game tons thx your dope brotha I look forward to you videos def ether the rest by far !! Been online since 2001 I’m dial up and you for sure no the game !
How do u stop the stretch ?
Cover 2 defense is the best thing to run. Check a video I did a couple months ago on run defense. The video has Kam Chancelor in the picture.
Maxo V ruclips.net/video/nWs7zNSzIho/видео.html
Cover 2 base align
I would do 4-4 or nickel
cover 2 invert base align, press, spread backers, spread d line
I can’t find the 3-4 defense I’m new to madden please help
What if they have a spread offense like 3wide wide
Do I have to constantly shange the play over and over again or can I save it somehow
You can't save it.
What defensive play book
I run something similar to this but I don’t put people into hard flats instead I keep the guy blitzing and keep the guy in the hook curl so that if I miss something with my user then I can have backup and I can usually read if they are going to go over the top or underneath because of what they did in the game or just the down and distance like 3rd and 5-10 clouds 3rd and 1-5 hard and also on first cloud and second hard or cloud same read as 3rd down
And I have a QB contain
Not a spy a, QB contain
Your only rushing 3 tho so what if the qb stands in the pocket until a receiver gets open in the zone
That's why it's crucial to user well over the middle. Most people get frustrated and try to force throws.
Good vid fam ..i also found by manning up my corners I got good coverage too ..Keep sending those flame vids🔥👍
Don’t forget to put one of the linemen in qb spy
What playbook is this?
Double tight ends seem routes kills this defense. Linebacker can’t cover both
thanks for defense tip need to get faster with set up buttons it works
Used your Bunch TE crossover play on weekend league. Needed a score with 24 secs left. Money.
I'm glad to hear that man! Always love to hear that I helped somebody.
EricRayweather do you have some red zone offence? I seem to struggle when I get close on passing plays
OakAus I-form , or Close should work in the red zone.
I can tell that your really good at madden but pls break it down slowly pls
Good shit bruh this works like a charm
Another great video eric keep it up!
Thanks fam!
damn the music playing pretty dope
how do you have time for this before every play? you have to change like 5 different guys
Practice man. I can set it up before the offense gets set. You just have to practice making your adjustments quickly.
Thx for the help everyone in my family keeps spanking me and now i can finally win
This guy is the 🐐
You the goat
When I rush 3, the qb just stands back there forever and waits for someone to open up..Any way i can run this without getting burned by that?
+Camden Thomas you can rush one extra linebacker. You'll just be a little weaker in coverage.
EricRayweather I'll try that out. Thanks man! Your videos have helped me a ton this year.
In that defense formation they can easily scrabble with the qb tho
love the defensive video man keep it yp
Thanks bro
Madden With The 2k Music🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Eric, what offensive playbook was this?
I honestly don't remember which pb I was in fam.
Seahawks playbook
how do you fall after the receiver catch the ball so it dont get knock out?
+Ricardo Seme possession catch. It's A ok Xbox and X on PS4
+EricRayweather just hold it right before the catch?
+Ricardo Seme yep!
+EricRayweather preciate you bro
Thanks bro it actually works
No problem bro
How effective is this against screens?
You have to manually user guard a screen.
EricRayweather Yeah, true that. So if a person runs a screen and you're surveying the middle of the field as the linebacker, wouldn't the middle of the field be open if you, the linebacker, commit to the screen? Assuming the QB has time
another great video
If you’re not a good user you might as well turn this video off rn 😂 ....... but this guy is The goat
Lol!
Anyone here during quarantine cause you were scrolling through your old game
he actually gained 4 yards bro. from 35 to 31 lol
Raaaaaayyyyy Defense!! i love it
+McKenzie wiliams thanks fam
Good sh*t I do stuff like this from time to time..with cover 3 also, only real threat is playmaker
What defense playbook is this?
jjallday84 3-4 playbook or any team that has a 3-4 scheme
Eh, its decent, but there were plenty of windows open for a gain. Definitely a good beginner defense though!
Good stuff!
Adan Alonso the best way I do it I move my safeties out a lil
He said it so fast at the beginning... so it's just running a Tampa 2 / Cover 2 Hard Flat every time?
If u would motion freeman to right u can beat this with julio
Subscribed 💯
Thank you
Best defensive playbook ?
Thanks man. Great d.
No problem bro
What defensive playbook is that
Ravens
What does “base aligning” do?
It aligns the defense to look the same every play presnap.
ohhhh okayy. So that way the offense doesn’t see a difference. So does that mean I should always base align for literally every play
+AG MEGATRON most people usually do.
Thx daddy
AG MEGATRON lmfaooooooo he said thanks daddy I'm laughing so loud. And it's mad late 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good video, I'm new & most of this is Chinese- but it is explained very well. I'm gonna subscribe & check out your user video. Thanks!
Thanks for the sub! The more you watch the more you will understand, it takes time to get things down but once you do you'll never forget it.
Question is, can this shut down the run thooo
+Bryan you gotta manually shoot gaps to stop the run.
Man I used this and got ate up with the rollout and flooding short middle
+wesley wright contain to stop rollouts. Short middle is your responsibility.
i would like a Strong close Scheme please..
I'll look into it, but I'll be honest I'm not a fan of Strong Close this year.
EricRayweather its my goto formation.. Fl drive..
u hella need more subs
anyone else wish they could use their ultimate team in play now like practice
What playbook you never say...?
+Gary Eddy I said you can do this out playbook/formation. It's s concept.
How do you best cover 4 consistently?
