Dang, this video helps a lot. I always use to either motion a receiver or look the cornerback depth to drtermine what defense they were running but now with this information I am golden. THANKS!!!!!

Also check out my Top 5 Most Overpowered Plays in Madden 22! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qad0Z8l-r8fOfKM.html

For ppl who read corners like me. Cover 2 the corners play 5 yards back. Cover 4 plays 8-10 yards Cover 6 will have one side with a cover 4 look and the other with a cover 2 look. Don't see cover 9 online, so I can't help you there lol

Best break down I've seen on KZfaq. Reading CB dept was giving me fits

Dude thanks so much for the flow chart. Went 30-10 on H2H, and then my opponents got noticeably harder and I’ve been losing a ton, now 39-33. I’ll be spending plenty of time using this in practice mode and referring to the flow chart to memorize it.

I love the time and effort you put into your video. You definitely deserve 1 mill by now

I wish madden would add in these tips somehow to your pre snap look and highlight routes that look good or something, like showing the zones when you check a run play. It should be a QB play recognition rating. Like if you played with Brady or it would be really accurate. I didn’t play football at a high level and don’t know these things but find it really interesting. I’d love to learn these things through madden.

Love the content, appreciate the effort you put into these vids!

i was looking for a video like this yesterday, you too clutch 🔥

Hey it's crazy I got to watch it a little more this is the best visual lesson

Great video man. Love the chart as well

spruce im sorry to tell you that you can tell if hes in man or zone in the 236 watch the left side db align lower when you motion over during man, but doesnt align as low during the zone. Dbs 2-4 yrds off the line are more than likely in man or cover 2 but dbs 5-9 yrds off are most likely in cover 3

Thank you brother. Just what I was looking for 👍

that chart is a life saver! i was about to screenshot a bunch of alignments😅

Man this video helps a lot, are you gonna drop an updated video for Madden 23

Thank you Spruce needed this bad

I've been really trying to get this down and learn more about how to read the defence. How long did it take you spruce?

Thank you!

This was awesome video needed something like this 👍

on 1 safety, which formation do you recommend because i have seen some with 2 receivers on one side and should be cover 1 with the slot corner being center but turning out cover 3.

Love your content. Making me a better player. How do you bring the run box up though? Mines is missing

I think you’re the only KZfaqrr to ever do a flow chart. Lol. Flow chart for the win! Good video.

Loved the format of this

Awesome video, very informative plus the spreadsheet got a quick screenshot from me lol

This is great. Flow chart is awesome!

It’s sad that this isn’t the case for Bunch. You’d literally have to learn every formation and how each coverage looks, that is A LOTTT of work to do. And even MORE work to REMEMBER. And even worse in close tight ball games. I’m in practice mode in Cover 4 Show 2 literally lines up on the outside of the outer WR lol. And the safety didn’t move so it could be Cover 2, 3, or 4. I’m gonna try 335 and see if I get the same results

I still struggle to identify what my opponent is in. Alot of defenses are already disguised like the cover 3's with two high safeties or cover 2 show cover 4 and stuff like that. I try to pay attention to how my own players are aligned just to get used to seeing and understanding how the players align and react. I wish practice mode wasn't so slow and tedious. Reading just about every defenses base alignment isn't hard but there's so many formations that you really have to make post snap reads to understand what defense it is. Madden is a very deep game.

You're very quickly becoming my favorite KZfaqr

this here is a CERTIFIED CHEAT bro....THANK YOU!!!! haha! Just ELEVATED my madden game to a whole 'nother level....YOU'RE A GENIUS BRO...CHEERS!

Cover 4 Show 2 will also give the same Tampa 2 look.

I’m fairly new to this stuff so what exactly does the cover 1, 2, 3 etc mean

This is a grade A explanation video!

Sprucegoosetv can you or anyone make a Post Snap read video please? Because sometimes when you do see 2 high safeties then after you hike the ball one of them close the middle of the field so now it becomes a cover 1 or 3 coverage... So I'd really appreciate a post snap video. Thank you. Happy Holidays

Do you offer coaching sessions???

I run everything bombs and hope lol there's a golden ticket down there somewhere hahaha

Good vid

I noticed in the motion piece even though the WR doesn't follow him in man the CB comes down alot tighter to the LOS than he did in zone when you motioned

What about cover 4…?

I've been using corner back depth for years. Just used to it. Would be tougher if ppl didn't spam the same defense all game long

Hay is there way to download that chart you made

Has this man ever blinked...

How I suppose to read from tight formation?

can’t know what coverage i’m in if I run punt block!

how bout for m 20

Roll out cheese lol terrible
