Is MAN D dead?

What’s the new Meta D you guys are using? Any good creators to follow on YouTube that help you get better at madden?

You have to mix in some zone, can't do man every play. I like to really mix it up.

Man will never die

Man still works and with discounted abilities of Bench Press and Inside Shade coming into the game it’s gonna be even better

Smh lol

In my opinion, ZONE is basically dead.  tampa cover 2s and almost every cover 3 gets beat every single time. cover 2 man, cover 1s, man blitzes are pretty much all I’ve been using lately. Every time I try to throw in a cover 3 zone to mix it up, instantly gets pieced up for a 1st down, it sucks..

It’s because you need to run the right zone blitzes. Every qb can pick apart a zone defense with enough time. Mix coverages, blitzes, disguise everything and you’ll have more success. Also, I run the zone KO everywhere.

This is facts. 

Man coverage is the go to  Defense for anyone who is new or sucks at the game. 

I'm surprised EA hasn't double buffed it yet for all the kids who are getting the game for Xmas

I’ll experiment more with some zone blitz‘s but usually don’t have great success with that. any plays you recommend for zone blitz out of nickel 3-3 cub or nickel 3-3 over? those are my most consistent formations on defense

Those are the only 2 formations I run. Ravens playbook  Hot blitz 3 from over is my go too. Forces them to block rb and/or te. Sam will blitz 3 from cub is great to throw in. Then from there you adjust your coverages and start messing with their head. Are you sending the nickel? Are you not? He’ll never know. Defense is just playing chess while the offense is playing checkers. Always stay one step ahead.

LMAO at that comment. To clarify for anyone reading this thread...Man is FAR from what people who are new or.suck at the game run. I've been running man press and have won 80% of my online games over the past month since switching to that style.of D.. 

I mean, a lot.of the best defensive players on the tournament circuit run man, like Henry for example.

If you don't use the right players in the right sets with the right abilities you're toast but with the right scheme and players man press can be dominant

Tell me how you can be good at Madden when you need the computer to play defense for you?

If you need the computer to play defense for you, then either you're new or you suck

You do realize that the computer plays defense for 10 of the 11 men on the field right? 

I mean I know it's Christmas and all but that's gotta be one of the stupidest posts I've read in 20 years on Madden forums

I.mean yeah, I guess guys making 150K a year playing Madden running man suck.

I'd play you and beat you but then you'd only cry that it was the AI that beat you not me. That's what guys like you do
