The 3-4 Under formation is a really good change of pace formation. You can get some decent pressure out of it and we have coverages that go along with it that look the exact same as when you are blitzing.
Formation: 3-4 Under
Play: Cover 3 Sky
Setup:
- Adjustment For Post Patch: Shift your defensive line to the left and crash them down
- (Optional) Base Align
- Blitz your free safety and move him up manually toward the line of scrimmage
Overview: If your opponent isn’t blocking extra guys, you should get quick heat up the middle.
Formation: 3-4 Under
Play: Cover 3 (Version 2)
Setup:
- (Optional) Base Align
- Move your free safety down toward the line of scrimmage
- Hot route your blitzing linebacker to a purple zone
Overview: When you bring your free safety down toward the line of scrimmage your opponent might assume that both the linebacker and the free safety are blitzing. However, you are actually dropping them both back into coverage. You can get some quick interceptions this way.
Formation: 3-4 Under
Play: Cover 1 Thief Show 2
Setup:
- Adjustment For Post Patch: Shift your defensive line to the left and crash them down
- (Optional) Base Align
- Blitz your free safety and move him up manually toward the line of scrimmage
Overview: This is the man to man version of the last play. I like to control the deep safety and patrol the middle of the field.
Formation: 3-4 Under
Play: Cover 2 Man
Setup:
- (Optional) Base Align
- Move your free safety down toward the line of scrimmage
- Hot route your blitzing linebacker to a yellow zone
Overview: This is another max coverage play that you want to mix In so your opponent can’t just block an extra guy every play.
I just want to clarify something. Your videos say select Cover 3 from 3-4 under but I dont see a cover 3. I see Cover 3 Sky and Cover 3 Cloud.
I have tried both and I can not get any of these plays to work in this formation.
I am in 49ers Playbook.
It is Cover 3 Sky. Thanks for pointing that out.
Hello there can u explain to me how to put guys on the purple zone what do I press on the controller ?
You scroll over to the guy you want to put in a purple zone then once you are on him you press A on XBOX One or X on PS4 and then that brings up a screen. Then depending on what type of zone you want to put him on you press up, down, left, or right on the left stick. I believe the purple zone is left on the left stick.
Right on Right stick is purple zone
Could you possibly make a tutorial on Madden Defensive Audibles? I know what crash the line down means but I don’t know how to execute it.
Dumb question, how do you base align your guys on ps4? And is that recommend as a regular thing to do pre snap on most defensive plays?
It is triangle + right on the right stick. It is generally recommended when you are setting up a blitz just so you have your guys in the right position and they don’t move around.
Just wondering, could you put together a sim defensive play book for leagues with strict rules on no nanos?
