Thank you for purchasing the Madden 16 Advanced Defensive eBook for PlayStation 4 and XBOX One. The eBook will be viewable directly on our website. This eBook is based out of the San Francisco 49ers defensive playbook but many of the plays can be found in other playbooks as well. Keep in mind this ebook is not supposed to act as an official strategy guide. It is just a collection of tips from our team of professional madden gamers organized in a way that is easy to understand.
Important things to maximize your effectiveness in this eBook!
1. Making defensive adjustments can be delayed this year. So if you are used to just speeding through your defensive adjustments, you must check to make sure that they are actually registering. For example, if you crash your defensive line down make sure that they actually crash down. Sometimes you may need to do it 2 times in order for it to work. If you wait a half second between each adjustment, you should be fine.
2. Although it is tempting to try to call nano blitzes the whole game, it is strongly recommended that you don’t. The coverages in this eBook are much more effective than the blitzes. The blitzes become much more effective if your opponent does not leave extra guys in to block.
3. The majority of the nano blitzes in this eBook were filmed with no extra guys blocking. If your opponent is blocking extra guys, you should call a coverage play instead. If he blocks an extra guy, he only has 4 guys to throw to. If you drop 8 guys into coverage, you can now double team every receiver and manually take away on receiver. You want your opponent to have to block extra guys. If he does that, your nano blitzes won’t work as often, but you will win many more games.
4. No nano blitz is 100% effective. Most of the nanos in this ebook will work under the right conditions but you must find the ones that work best for you, your play style, and the team you use. You can’t just call the play and expect it to work like it works in the videos every time. Some will work better for you than others.
Now that we got that out of the way, you can proceed to viewing the eBook below.

yeah i just got chewed up when I was the Bills vs Dallas in the run game. I was trying to use the 34 Bear Cover3 and my stick skills are not great so mabye it’s on me cause im not usering the FS well to make tackles cleanly. I am hoping you guys cook up some other Run D’s out of another formation like 4-3 or 46. Looking forward to your feedback. I’m also at @fannypackking
A good idea would be to control the other safety if you aren’t very good with stick skills but we will update this ebook as the year goes on and we’ll also release more ebooks.
I can stop the run with cover 3 but when they come out in double TE I don’t not want way to to move My defense line to right or left I have tied to pinch the line an spread the line backer burly that don’t work they get to many yards so what defense can I run thanks
Any thing I can do
Where can I find the nickel 245 prowl, I have searched everywhere . Also the 335 wide. Thanks for your help. I look under all plays when setting up my playbook. Thanks again!
It is in the San Francisco defensive playbook. If you are adding it to a custom playbook, you will have to just match the formation picture because they do have different names in custom playbooks.
How can we stop the Four Verticals play with the Cover 3 or the Cover 2 Invert?
Your best bet against 4 verticals is to go with a cover 2 man defense and manually take away the tight end’s route.
I’m getting beat a lot using this defensive playbook.
Madden school u never answered my question
Sorry about that, must have missed it. What was the questions again?
I was getting burned on flats and screens while running 34 bear. Even the cover 2 play.
Are u guys coming out with a 4-3 ebook cause run with teams that have 2 good DT and don’t like only using one
We hope to. You can always just sub in your 2nd DT into one of your DE spots though in the meantime.
in my experience so far this season, you can come out in 3-4 bear, its very good at slowing down the run…but all an opponent has to do is come out in shotgun whatever and light you up over the top a couple times to make you quickly back out of it… Just saying…
You will have to adjust to whatever your opponent is doing like you mentioned.
