This is one of if not the best madden video I’ve ever watched. Straight to the point helpful and simple. Outstanding.

@civil Although other creators shed their own personal analysis and breakdown of their schemes, I’ve yet to come across one who holds the perfect balance of fundamental understanding of the game of football & a firm grasp on how to apply the mechanics of a football “game” to said understanding. I am a meticulous person and having your content to refer to when I’m in the lab microadjusting my own schemes is absolutely paramount to my ability to improve as a player and lover of the game of football and video games alike.

Thanks! Great video, and explanation, and go Lions!! For the #1 spot this Sunday!!

Great video, completely changed my defense game. Do decent on offense but didn’t know what I was doing on defense, would only force 1-2 punts before and play as the DL the whole game or only play as the offense 🤣. First game after video I won 24-0 and held the other team too 133 yards. Much love

Learned something new, about to try out the qb contain, I needed to see that! Haven’t seen that in any video up to this point and it was something simple

Just started playing Madden yesterday. Offense I can kinda do, but defense, it's like I'm walking in traffic with my eyes closed. Thanks for the tips, Civ. Will try them out when I get home. Great video also!

Honestly I never felt like the shades worked on the past & got cooked by corner routes. Now it actually works!!

Good defensive videos with a lot of tips. No glitchy plays just useful information to be used how we see fit.

I been playing for 20 years I just learned you can sprint with a defense user 😯

[TishJam]

I’m so glad you did this, I use to put my corners to match the WRs “Speed” or “Route running” for some reason they would always glitch out or give up big plays and I would be so confused. EA smh

[carterplaysmc]

I always match formations, it does make a difference on zone coverages.

[JaqkFrost]

I’m already a really good player but the last video I watched of yours was good enough to get me to watch this one and this is just good content. Good tips. Earned a sub!

[ReddFoxxx]

I’m very novice and learning. What mode are you in to practice this. In practice mode you’re only offense.

[brad]

How do I get my defenders to not play like total confused idiots?

[corymiller]

Thanks for the advice… learning a lot from you bro

[Sydneyangel]

After watching this video and messing around in practice I won my next game 24-0

[mrkemo]

Noobie to Madden and this video was helpful. Thank you bro

[princewalker]

[Nightwing]
