  • u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murdered in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved lol rape>>>

  • 4:50 Is this even English?!

  • dude u don't know anything about football. biggest gaps in the cover 2 is over the middle and between safety and corner, which u hit with the out route but in real life that out is crap if ur receiver isn't ten+ yards up the field. also what about the slant. just read the olb and the slant is open all day. as for the cover 3, you need to hit the seams. watch the safety roll to one side or the other and the backside post is open. u can hit the seams on the cover 3 all day.

  • Thanks for the advise it was very helpful

  • Dude that isn't football, how the heck does the ball move like that in the air? Madden = cheap game (no money put into game play) they just change the rosters every year and pocket the millions in sales, absolutely terrible.

  • while some of your Idea's are right on, You miss fundamentals over and over again.(not that I really give a dam) but first you prolly wont have any of these issues once you learn to Run the ball w/ the Jets.this in essence sets up huge play action, clock management type football.inside zone coverage blitz from the outside will have you in the flats all game.those picks often turn into points leading you into a one dimensional style of play.bump it up dude.

  • Hot route the TE on slants over the middle. That's all day

  • I need serious help with defence. My rating on passing and running are very high, right from the start too, but my defence is one bar :( I can't read plays very well from defence and I dont understand what I should be doing with most of the players. Could someone direct me to a site that discusses this?

  • nice

  • cover 2 is actually more likely to get beat on a deep post than anything else cuz they pull the safeties toward the sidelines and the linebackers aren't fast enough to cover the gap created by the 2 safeties covering the sidelines

  • Now lets see Lavernius Coles jump into the endzone oh very nice very nice. Haha the Jags comments are funny. But no there's no one good on the Jags. But I always play that 3 man rush and like 7 backs where its man on the corners and 3 safeties playin deep zone. Then there's the house blitz

  • super

  • that is a fuking glitch nigga

  • @lilmanmarcos why is it a glitch?

  • this is why i call zone blitzes and cover 2 buc. and zone-man combo blitzes.

  • at 1:40 that was a terrible dive

  • what this guy is failing 2 tell u is that u have to have some1 with a bullet arm or the defense will have time to recover..and its not like he's facing the giants d line or anything its the fucking jaguars

  • jags have a good defense

  • what players on their d line are house hold names

  • almost every 1on d is fast in that team

  • seahawks 41, jags 0. lolz there defense is the best go hawks

  • cowboys 38,seahawks 17 go cowboys

  • Chill .. Talkin bout my jags like that

  • great tips but they don't always work. when on cover 3 you isolate you're top reciever with a corner. you said to throw deep to him. that won't work when you are playing against Champ or Nnamdi or any other elite corner. and you need a good reciever. and their is no way you can throw an out in a cover 2. that's the last thing you want to do. the corner in the flat zone will get a pick-six off that 90% of the time. On cover 2, I like to have my Wide reciever run a fade.

  • yeah this were ok tips.. but your gonna throw a lot of picks to better players.. the deep ball will get pick ever sigle time.

  • wack a warriror,brah just play man...

  • its faustrating when i cant stop it....

  • i have a question for you, just yesterday i was playing this guy that uesd that play at 6:07 and he completed that pass 75% of the time ,is that sort of a glith pass, if not can you tell me how to defend that because he was using all the time

  • that play at 6:07 is easy to defend, someone kept on using it on me too but i just used corner blitz and he couldnt get time and thats gona lead to a easy sack. GOODLUCK !

  • thanks a lot

  • i think ur talking about the quick slant play If u are use the qb contain it's a bade play that is in every formation it usualy has a d-lineman playing underneth and ur safeties play a thight man cover if u notice in the vid the qb swings right and this will stop that too

  • i guess

  • ya corner blitz is good and a cover 3 would be good cuz the safety will get the middle of the field right there

  • thx

  • maddens defensive plays r a joke, if u aint got a pass rush then ur screwd

  • Great tips man,but you should make a video about beating COVER 4 LOL, but seriously thanks for the tips man. I wish I could play you

  • great tips, in a cover 2 its also great to throw inside post routes. the middle is always open because the safties are covering the sideline pass. maybe we'll play sometime, CABOOSE212 < gamertag

  • CB blitz

  • that shit might work against shitty players but if you playin someone good you'll get that long pass maybe once or twice

  • what about quick slants? those are the quickest way to beat any zone, maybe not for a touchdown, but it will get you 10

  • "oh very nice very nice" lol

    nice messing around wit players in player managment in rosters, you go to edit player then player rating. its awsome, you get like 99 everything!

    lol i hope you did that....

    nice vid =}

  • what was the glitch?

  • this is a stupid question but...

    How do you launch the ball high down the field like your first throw???? my quarter backs always throw the ball low whenever i run a streak pattern.

  • just tap the button of the reciever u want and it will go high.

  • all u do is hold the button for the player down and hold it and it will come to your player hard and fast

  • tap the button instead of holding the button

  • Have a formation with two receivers and a tight end (or third receiver) on one side. Have the inside receiver run a 10 yard slant towards the middle,and the outside run a streak. Have the TE run a five yard in. If it's cover 3 the TE should be open. If its cover two, the safety is going to have to choose between the deep slant or the streak. One receiver should be single covered for a big gain.

    You'll probably also want a swing/slant/curl route in case of a blitz and TE doesn't get open.

  • isn't if the defense goes back like the DB's, if im right, that means zone coverage

  • If u have a perfect QB and perfect WR. u can just use PA FL stretch throw it deep to ur receiver and the receiver can easily break free for a touchdown.

  • pretty funny, the guy studdered  4:50 LMAOL!!!!!

    GREAT VIDEO BUT.

  • yeah i know...sorry about that!

  • U WEAK DOG ILL SHUT U DOWN

  • You some youtube poser...haha talking tough through a message box...hahaa

  • ha ha ur sum cornball youtube fagget hahaa respondin 2 a message over 3 months old hahaa ha ha come c me if im a poser ha ha

  • @SportsRoids you know players can just disguise what they want with their safeties thats what i do and if players are looking for that they get confused when they see man with safeties that show cover 2 then what do you do you need to think about the full picture but nice video tho something for noobs

  • @willtsoljah808 you try talking for 6 minutes straight - you'll probably sound like a stammering retard. your one line post isn't even spelled right: "Stuttered". LMAOL!!!! It wasn't that funny, you need to get out more. And where the fuck is your video upload.

  • i use cov.3 contain best d ever

  • ILL SHIT ON UR COVER 3

  • if you know the d is in cover two.. come out in twin te.. put both of them stright up... one of them will be open.. always.. only works in cover two. better when you on the 20 trust me i burn alot of people with it..

  • for cover 2 streak your slot and he will be wide open 50% of the time, if he's fast its a TD

  • great point! That splits the safety, so you right.... great job! You need to wait a couple of seconds though, to put the WR in position to take the rock to the ENDZONE!!

  • dude with the covr two all u need is a 3-4 wide out set and have the slot reciever do a post and it will split the safties in half every time gauranteed anywhere from 30yards to a TD

  • great video my friend.

  • great tips 5*****

  • Another way to attack that hole is a deep post from your 1st receiver. its more dangerous because it requires a strong armed QB and a fast receiver, plus dummy routes to occupy the other receivers, but its a great way to counter your opponent who might be catching on to the other method. First, call a streak with your 3rd receiver, to keep the FS shaded to the left side of the field, and have the 4th receiver run a curl or in route to keep that strong safety down. You must hit the 1st receiver

  • Cover 3 has a lot more holes than Cover 2, you just have to be more patient. The most common hole is the strong safety dropping down, and the corner playing the deep third. One great way to exploit this is to do a combination streak/wheel routes, with your 4th receiver running the streak and the 1st running the wheel. this takes the corner farther to the sideline, while the streak is wide open once he gets by the safety.

  • I agree

  • the sidelines once they clear the corners. Underneath routes with the RB's are great, particularly curls from the backfield, or if you want to combine the RB with your Wheel routes, have them run flat roues, drawing in the corners more, to give you more space to throw.

  • Not bad, you left out a lot of other ways to attack those zones. Instead of 3 WR sets, go 4 WR sets. Against Cover 2, the out routes will not always be open, especially against good zone coverage corners. Instead, send the 4th or 3rd WR on a streak/post, whatever you want, and hit him once he clears the LB's and on the inside shoulder. If the opponent is catching on to this, and starts controlling the LB or safties, then run the same play, but, have your 1st or 2nd receiver run Wheel routes up

  • i am going to try that....thanks!

  • lol its very effective although doesnt work all the time, make sure you have a route that you can dump off to if he's not open

  • @Ryan41378 you could also send one of them on a corner thats a cover 2 killer

  • great tips.

  • the cover 2 is also weak to the deep post pattern.... i use that one all the time.... its my bread and butter.......

  • God point. Posts is a great way to split the safeties and find a big gap when your opponent plays a deep halves coverage....Good job!

  • What about Dime zone coverage. I run into alot of Dine and Dollar coverage late in the game if I am successful for like the first 2 quarters. Anything for that anyone?

  • The packadge will look different but you can still read it. Some Dime and Quarter and Dollar can get confusing because the Saftey might not fill the center. It could be a corner so, but if you practice against it you will start to realize what you will see. Honestly I always put myself in place to run, and I rarely play from behind. But this tips can be applied against any defensive package. Realize that you could be in Dime and still run Cover 2! or Cover 3 depending on your play call!

  • I agree that you shouldn't be able to complete that on a great player. But lets face it not many players online are goo in coverage...I use that only when i notice that the player is deficient in pass coverage!

  • the deep pass almost NEVER works online or offline

  • I can complete that almost 70 percent of the time i throw it. For a deep ball thats pretty good. Keep practicing you'll get it dont forget to guide it to the sideline and user catch it.

  • On PS3, how do i extend the routes to make them longer? At 3:40 the route becomes longer, how can i do that, or make it shorter? this is on PS3 by the way, and thanks.

  • Well these tips are really useful since your telling people how to recognize zone coverage after the play starts, plus yeah like some people have said if you playing against even a decent defensive player you'll get user picked, I know I could user pick that pretty easily.

  • what do you think reading a defense is. So do you think a QB just guesses what the coverage is before a play starts? Seriously you have to be joking me right? You must diagnose a defense during every step of the play. Thats what football is...Madden 09 in no different.

  • I'm saying telling if a defense is in a zone after the ball is snapped isn't as good as if you can tell before you snap the ball. Which there are a couple of ways to do that.

  • if you can't throw over the should and user catch your right....work on those skills and you will be able to complete it trust me.....poeple who go for the interception will give up the touchdown if you mast those skills....It's always best to bat down the ball....

  • I really like that one play. I believe it's called "bench corners" or something. A lot of times all 4 recievers are wide open and sometimes they're not. Why is that?

  • ok this is a contiuation to my other post. if its cover 3 go into a 4wr set, and put your 3rd and 4th reciver to do streaks.. hike the ball wait about 5-7 seconds (depening on how good the defense is) and throw it to either 3rd or 4th reciever(specifically a speed guy).... you ill get at least 10yards per play its simple......make sure you must time right or else u get picked!!!!

  • **(NOTE: I USE THE CHARGERS)**its pretty basic.... basically in madden MAN DEFENSE SUCKS!!!!!! unles you really switch it up well man defense is really terrible... just go into a 4wr shotgun.... put a WR into motion if no one follows him then its zone if some1 folows him then its man... most 2 common zones are cover 3 cover 2.... if its cover two do a play called charger cross(for me) or fl cross, basically puts Wr into deep post. if cover 3, go to your 3rd and 4th reciever, TO BE CONTINUED

  • not in combo coverage u usually get picks on quick routes with low awareness cbs. speed is usually what makes man coverage work

  • Thanks or advice, everyone online uses zone. I noticed you're in shotgun in most of the videos. Is that a must? I know it gives you more time to throw but I run first and pass or play action when needed but going into shotgun makes it obvious pass play for running style offense. Can a QB like Philip Rivers with throwing power of 87 still make the deep pass against cover 3?

  • You do not have to be in shotgun, the concepts stay the same...Rivers should be able to make the throw, but I don't know for sure, since I don't really ever use the Chargers...I'll try to make the throw to Vincent Jackson

  • Quick Pass 2 L.T. On The Left Side Then Truck Anybody Who Comes In His Way. Touchdown Bitch.......Unless Its A Cover 1

  • lol ur teaching noobs this right?? i can give u better tips u know if u want give me ur gamer tag owner of this vid,,,,,,,,and ill give u tips about how to read defences B4 THE PLAY EVEN STARTS boi learn how to read it like a pro :>

  • This guy is a joke. I would user pick your ass all day online lol

  • lets play chump!

  • cover 1 sucks in madden bc its a man defense...man is awful in madden

  • what about cover 1

  • on the last couple of plays, how do u make "x" run that route?

  • man this is a cool guy.. must be a madden coach

  • whats your gamertag online? wanna give me some tips in a live game?

  • At 4:30 u made the usual 5 yard out route into a 10 yard out route how

  • u press r3 to go over 1st down line

  • What about qb s that dont have a rocket arm??? can you still do this i play with carolina alwayz GO PNATHERS n i play wit matt moore no jake

  • yes you can! Don't forget to subscribe for all the latest tips as soon as they are released..we will be dropping a Defense video soon so i suggest everyone gets on that !!

  • I usually play as the Free Safety, I give up big plays but also create lots of INTs this way, but how would you do this if you play someone like me who controls safeties?

  • thanks, i use it and it works

  • cover 2= tight end streak route usually works for me

  • I made a mistake in my last post I meant if the D is playing zone where my receiver is going to end up on the curl route

    Basically I was just pointing out since you explained the cover 2 and cover 3 that if your being played man the best option if you don't need lost of yards is a quick curl route and usually can pick up a 1st down or a easy 5 yards on man coverage I like slants and sluggos don't use sluggos as often

    =D sry about this post I was bored everyone already knows this probably.

  • good points and keep them coming, you would be suprised at the simple things people forget to try when attempting to slaughter a defense

  • -.- Why does people spam on great videos like this it makes everyone want to take out comments every time...

    Thanks man for the advice but I am more of a run play type of guy I'm kinda like big ben for the steelers on madden well thats the team I use XD I <3 running then taking small throws in high precentage places in the field mainly off of play action rolling out and throwing to a curl route if the D doesn't have my reciever in man if so I always have a slant off my PA as well just incase XD

  • this kid like big cock in is mouth nigga.the fag thats under me nigga on drugs sniff that shit up. then poop it out and wipe it on pizza face tyler

  • shut the hell up you pathetic loser in life. u understand me BOY! U had better. Calling people names like u do, real badass aren't you. better shut up before someone shuts you up you no good piece of shit thug loser. U probably stole the computer you are using now from your own mother. go to hell thug pig

  • On cover two sense BOTH of the safetys so outside maybe you could also invest on useing a slant towards the center of the field with a TE or a speed WR. Works well, or a go route to a RB that way when they catch 10 yards deep they have room to work with in the center.

  • great point....you just need time to let that develope unless you plan on throwing a shorter 7 to 8 yard route...

  • Yea the slant and go route to RB works well if your O-Line can give you the 5-6 seconds you need. Doesnt sound like a lot of time but it is in football. Make more vids roids you have some good tips.

  • Thank you... we are working on some systems that will give you crazy pressure on defense...I am still trying to make it more simple so that you can incorporate it into online play!

  • what about cover 1 it can be confused with cover 3

  • Cover 1 i would suggest doing the same thing he did here except send the te on a right slant or curl and send your right reciever AND left receiver on a go route. You can reveal a cover 1 by the SS (right one on your screen) will be slowly but surely creep up, leaving the FS trying to cover both sides of the field. (When SS creeps up is could also be blitz but this still works) The FS will commit to one reciever or neither and go deep, if FS commits throw deep to other, if not throw to TE.

  • wow ok I get real pissed off when I go to run the ball and my rt or rg and lt or lg pending on where i am running the ball somtimes centr dont take the DL the run right for the lolb or mlb i dont no why instead of blocking the DL who is only 3 ft from takin me down they run right past them how do i tell my off line to take the DL

  • what difficulty

  • when you throw across the field, what kind of touch do you put on the ball? Do u move the analog or bullet or bomb??

  • hey guys im pretty good at maddden but can get lots better. im 90-77 on ps3 online, but would ya suggest keeping with that account and tryin to get a big win streak to get ranked, or start a new one?

  • Dont be a restarter....Just keep playing and win more than you lose!!

  • you forgot to explain one more zone..the velcro 9 zone..i say thats the best zone in madden to stop passing plays..2 players will go for the QB while 9 players will drop back to there zone..so how do u beat the velcro 9 zone???

  • HOLY CRAP.......I thought that was mah secret play no one used to know bout it WTF

  • I also use it

     shhhhhh!

  • No DOUBT!!!! that was my secret pass defence 2!!!!

  • Pick the wholes in the coverage...That play does not send really any more than 2 rushers. You should be able to get time to wait on your receivers. This play with pressure rocks but without it, it is a easy 10 yard catch everytime...Velcro 9 is a great play to throw at a player when you show blitz...

  • To beat velcro just call some ins and wait until the WR comes open and gun it in...it's easy..the reason this play gets a lot o ints is because players are not patient and they pre-choose the receiver they are going to throw to before the ball is snapped..If you have patience against this play you should destroy it...

  • easy the middle is wide open the two shallow areas are covered and the 3/4 areas (cant remember) are covered, but the middle area as far as deepness has only the sidelines covered

  • i always wanted to know how u change the hot routes to like posts and stuff i can only get the basic plays, i think it has to do with the click on the right analog stick but dont know how. Help?

  • great video ur points are great

    except if the D is in a 3-4 what then?

  • 3-4 in football is a formation that is used to confuse o line when figuring out blocking schemes. For coverages if you can diagnose which zone coverage your opposition is in this system will still work...

  • run

  • this is dumb theres a cover three glicth thats why u can pass deep balls soo easily againest it

  • nice video. Another great way to beat cover 2 is to go out of a 4 wr set such as hb option (a pass play). There will be 2 slot receivers that run straight up the hash marks. If you wait they will be open late over the middle. Make sure to throw it to the inside though.

  • i find the best way to beat cover 2 is with a post by the slot receiver

  • If you can split the Safeties, then exploit it!!!!

    Great insight and comment! keep on gaming!

  • this is a great way to practice too. SportsRoids do you have a xbox live account? if so i would like to play against you, you seem to have a great understanding of the game. It would be a good match.

  • alright will do

  • but i find its more of a problem on cover 2 because there are only two guys deep so the safety might not be in position, specially in the middle of the field deep, that was another thing that I saw that was explouiable. sometimes when I throw the ball on deep passes one on one its picked off or the ball is tipped away, I find on cover two its easier to get it away from the defender deep.

  • good point. I can see where you are having issues. I like to place balls very close to the sideline and switch to the wide-out and catch them with user catches. That is the most important skill to have when playing the deep ball offensively. If you go up for them you have a good chance of getting them.

  • Sometimes players try to switch to the CB on cover 3 while the ball is in the air (throwing on the CB who has thirds- will not work on other CB), and for some reason the CB will slow down just enough to allow you to catch it or allow him to only tip the ball away. I would never just chuck the ball down field all game, you should always pick away at your opponents defense, because then you can catch them with the occasional deep ball. Honestly, if you can pull this off it is very effective.

  • Cover 2 leaves more of the field open, if you do think of it from a fundamental standpoint. Therefore you are correct, if you are saying that If you can get a WR deep while inside the hash marks on cover 2 you should get inside the safeties and if the pass is completed you will get a huge gain or maybe even TD.

  • Great job at finding soft spots in zone coverages, but keep practicing what I have taught you about cover 3, i promise it will help you out one day. Personally I only go deep maybe 2 to 3 times at most a game, if i can avoid having too

  • I foudn the beast way to beat cover three is by exploiting the weak side safety underneath because he cant get there in time to stop that pass he has to far to go. since its three people deep the deep pass should be taken away.

  • 3 deep is great against the deep ball in madden if you throw to the inside of the field yet I like to throw against the corner who is responsible for deep thirds. THE inside saftey will shift over to the middle of the field, leaving the corner 1 on 1. If you can spot and figure out which corner is in deep thirds you can exploit it. That is a fact. Good job though finding more gaps to exploit! keep it up

  • I am quite sure the AI is only pro because all rpo the holes are more covered than this. cover thwo the out route only opens ten yards down field on all pro becasue the outside linebacker jumps up and swats that ball down and the conerback gets in there as well, you have to get away from them in front of the safety, also on my game in the cover three the weak faefty neevr steps up and that ball is not there unless of courtse its pro level diffcult where any jump ball turns in your favor

  • nope I only practice on skill levels that will apply to online play!

  • if u know how to play football this is common sense and the go route if yor good u can stop that by switchin to the corner

  • This is common sense WHITE BOY so why are you arguing with me? I will promise though that it's not as easy as just picking up the corner, when you switch they slow down just a lil. At best you will get a chance to bat the ball away!

  • wow i would love to play you online if you try to go deep all the time on cover 3.. int all day long

  • SIGN UP and we can play when we are both online !! if you want we could take the game tape and post it

  • hes not going to go over the top everytime retard.. theres more than one reciever on the field

  • lol lol how u make it run a 10 yd in insteAD Of a 5 i 4 got

  • Smart Route! On first down. Press the analogs down on a in route that you hot routed!

  • i like how hes using favre to throw accurate passes... thats cuz favre is fucking god, i miss him since im a packer fan

  • We like Farve as well!

  • this helps a lot

  • Two days ago I learned that you should never throw a bullet when going deep. Get a fast wr and lob the ball while pressing up on the left stick. After that all you have to do is switch to that wr and sprint to the circle where the ball will land.THIS IS IMPORTANT MAKE SURE THAT YOU HOLD THE Y BUTTON AND DO NOT JUST PRESS IT HOLD THE Y BUTTON UNTIL THE QUICK WR CATCHES THE BALL. I suggest that whoever reads this uses a wr with 97-100 speed. If not get ready for a pick. Copy and paste this message

  • in practice how do you get the whole feild like that every time i do it its like 30 yards???

  • in practice mode, press start, go to practice options and choose to respot the ball. :]

  • wow i feel like an idiot

  • thats nickle tho.... try it on a dime defense its a little harder but it can still be done

  • Well, I find it easier on Dime packages, actually because the defense is more balanced at the snap. For me it makes it easier to make my reads. I just want to reiterate this system works every single time on all defenses except Quarter. The reason is that in Quarter cover-2 may look like cover 3, if your using this system, yet the concepts can still work just make a read, and always have a short checkdown route if you get stuck!

  • if u got 360 than add me i wanan play u my name is filipinopride2 with no spaces im a level 26 and im ranked 450 in the world i wanna play u and maybe we could teach each other stuff

  • i just started playing ranked but i wanna play you

  • what kind of cover 3 iis that?

    the mlb just running out

  • how do u do a 10 and out hot route?

  • if your using ps3 and its 1st and 10 do a hot route with whoever you want to do the out route with then click your r3 (your right joystick, which is a smart route) and it will make the wr run past the 1st down line and out.

  • I've learned against cover 2 with the slot reciever you can sent on a streak and aim the throw towards that imaginary circle

  • yeah thats called splitting the safeties!! Great job, you can get huge gains out of those types of routes! Keep finding the gaps and exploit them!!

  • you are obviously playing on anything but all madden. in ANY all madden game or on live your "needle threading passes" will be A. user picked or B. intercepted by the amazing calvin johnson LBs EA decided to put into 09 thus ruining another madden.

  • PLay me and lets see, I'll put our game on youtube for everyone to see. Everything I talk about are real football tactics and strategies that when applied to madden will give you an advantage. if you want to talk about how great you are, please go somewhere else, I will play you whenever you want...If you want help or advice let me know...

  • those tips are fantastic...

    currymonster2

    i wanna play you if u have 360

  • Against the COVER 2 you can send the tight end on a streak and precision pass it high nad he will catch it 90% of the time and will never get intercepted if you do the play right.
