 YouTube what's up, man? I am starting a new series is an idea that I have Basically just from being on Twitter and talking to interacting with so many people whether it be my streams You guys can follow that below the link is there all my Twitter everywhere I talk mad at Instagram DMs everywhere where I talk mad to all you guys Man and what I've realized the last couple weeks and people you know posting clips about the game and people Complaining about certain issues is that you know what sometimes is mad and pros We kind of take for granted what you guys know about the game You know and with the little stuff that we know we just kind of assume that all you guys know it man And and there's a crossroads in Madden for everybody You come across something where you get beat something that you know if you find out somebody knows a play better than you Or was running this glitch play or cheese plays like you guys say and and for me It's like you get to that point. We've all gotten to that point I remember you probably remembering moments where you run across somebody like that and You get to a crossroads man and the crossroads is am I gonna complain about the game? Am I gonna make excuses or am I gonna one learn how to do it and learn how to stop it learn the little things? You know and and this this whole segment or this whole series be friending the bots is about helping you guys get better at Madden You know because I always feel like if I can help you guys get a little bit better at Madden Then you'll enjoy it to the level that I do man because that's what I love about it because I know all the little things And see every little thing that every player does on the field and all the different things that different pros Do I can watch competitive man with an open brain? And I just want to make sure I kind of almost start at the beginning man Because I feel like if you don't understand the basics You don't understand the simple things that we take for granted that everybody knows that you and I'm starting to realize That a lot of you guys don't know so this whole series is essentially helping you guys get better man If you don't want to get better, that's cool. You just want to watch gameplay You just want to you go about your day open your packs this that in a third. That's fine You know this might not be for you, but this whole series is gonna be about Getting you guys better at the game and understanding the game better so that Essentially, you know you can look at the game look at the gameplay with an open mind You know I think the best players in the world have an open mind when it comes to the gameplay man And and one thing about it is it it's not an argument that It's right or wrong or the game players good or bad or it should play differently That's that's not an argument that a madden player makes, you know Essentially what it is is you kind of accept what the game is and learn how to master You know now you guys can say well in real life. It should do this the gameplay mechanics should work different It should you know simulate this this is what happens in real life That's that's never gonna make you a better man player. You have to understand. It's a game You have to understand the rules of the game. It's a computer. Essentially. It is Robotic, you know, so you have to learn that and just take that information and use it to become a better man Player man, cuz I truly truly believe if everybody understands the game as well as we do man You guys will like it that much more man And that that's what this whole series is about so any ideas or things that give you trouble It could be the most basic thing in the world, man I have so many ideas for this series and so many different ways. I want to take it But I just wanted any ideas you guys have any simple things you need help with if it's stopping to run if it's You know when to go for it when did not go for when to put one of the biggest things like when to put a Slant when to put a drag when to put a curl or when to put a hitch Just little things that you know You guys are struggling with that you really think you could use help with and maybe you don't understand all the way like why Why is stretch so good this way? Why is this formation so good? How do I slow down this formation? Just little things man Like I said, I have a notebook full of ideas to really help you guys get better man That's what this series is about. So if you're not interested in getting better, that's cool man if you are interested in getting better, please hit that like button and stay tuned this first episode I'm going to talk about deep blue zones because Since madden 18 we've been able to manipulate our deep blue zones and there's three types of deep blue zones man There's a quarter what you guys see in cover four There's a third cover three and there's a half that that those are the three basic deep blue zones Not taking any match concepts into play just those three basic deep blue zones And we're gonna go into practice mode and show you guys pretty much the difference in when to use Which is deep blue zone? All right guys, we're in practice motor warm start here with a basic cover three That's it like I said, there's three types of deep blue zones man And the first one is a cover three now I will tell you the first before we even start it's rare that any pro player has a cover three zone on the field Because it's it's very easy to manipulate and it's also it's going to press the receivers It's going to get physical with the line and it's going to get burnt because if you press the receiver in this game No matter how good your presses if you press by the time that receiver gets off the press It's a touchdown over the top So what I'm going to do is press now if you don't press they won't be as physical with the line But one thing about Madden man defensively is that okay? We're going to make every defense look the same so most man in pros You'll see it will press whether so he's in a cover two zone or a cover three zone Whatever it may be but I'll show you guys right now and you'll you'll watch Gilmore over here on I believe that's the Marcus Robinson number 11. He's gonna press him and He's pretty much want to get smoked you seem to get pressed right there I didn't get smoked that bad as he throws underneath now I'll show you but I'll show you guys the press now. That's a mismatch on my behalf That um is good because I have Stefan Gilmore, but let's take a look at it like I told you The cover three zone will press now. This is your deep blue guy, right? So he's pressing so that's let's just say it's might and we both have 99 speed after the press animation You're gonna give up you're gonna give up a big play like I said the cover threes They're very manipulative and you can change them with different different coverages or different route combinations You can catch bombs so for me the cover three zone is really not an option on the field You know and I'll show you the other the other two options are pretty much what people do when they run cover three We'll come out here and we'll do the same thing you see Gilmore over here Now I put him in a quarter how you do that is why that you go individual a quick adjust why why Icon be and then left on the right stick. We'll put him in a quarter now Us we do this second nature like this is a we do this before we get to the line why why be right why why be right? That's just that fast, you know, it's like a mortal combat move for us You know why why be right and you know he's a quarter now the difference in a quarter when you want to use a quarter This will not press this will not get burnt unless it's an obnoxious speed difference It would have to be like 99 speed the 95 to get burnt a quarter will drive will backpedal right away Instantly and will not get burnt and we'll watch Gilmore in this play. Just turn his hips and gone No chance to burn as it as you know My homes gets rid of the ball right there to where I was user and it wasn't covering But if you guys see you'll just see that's the difference in a cover three and a quarter man So when you want to press but you don't want to get physical You want to make sure you're not going to get burnt and as a user defender You know, I will not give up a touchdown on that side before listen before Robinson's even one yard down Gilmore's back five yards already Boom and that's why people put a press quarter because it looks like when you come through the line It looks like man I got a one-on-one match up out here But you see how quickly he bails and turns his hips and he's out of there And you're never going to get burnt when you use a quarter. That's why most people when they run coverage They'll put quarters out there So now let's go ahead to just the next best thing now just like a third A quarter is manipulative as well people you can put a comeback route You can put in routes they'll jump things underneath you can get bombed if you put quarters out there So if you're playing bunch if you're playing tight If you play anything that might have a bomb You don't want to put quarters, you know quarters or more they play more aggressive on that one receiver and you won't get burnt Now what you want to do if you're worried about the bomb is a half That's a deep half and essentially turn this into some type of cover-to-invert where this guy is the flat and this guy's the deep half now Personally pressing a half is not that good not that smart unless it's you know because I feel like a half the Marcus Robinson can run by Gilmore because Gilmore will drift a little bit to the middle here and The streak down the middle can run down the field So essentially if you want to play safe you back them up a little bit or or never press But essentially this will stop people from a deep pulse if you guys watch my Twitter If you guys watch my highlights my tic-tac anything you'll see I throw so many deep pulse because people don't do this adjustment One of the safest defenses in the game you can do is double double deep halves like this You will not give up a single bomb touchdown with a defense like this ever Now you'll give up stuff underneath because I'll tell you these deep blue zones do not jump anything underneath These guys were pretty much. It's pretty much just safe. They'll be back here. They won't jump anything They won't get any interceptions. They will just make sure you don't give up bombs So I said the third will press the quarter will bail and pretty much stick that side of field and play a little bit more Aggressively and the half will stop the deep bombs. Those are the three type of deep blue zones You need to know if you're playing defense All right, boys, that was the first episode of befriending a bot I teach you guys just the deep blue zones and what they when they use them and what they do and Understanding when and maybe when you guys watch past defense and you can think man Is this guy going to put a quarter on his play and maybe give up a bomb? Is he gonna put a third and maybe try to get physical with the line You know, is he gonna go deep half and just play safe and guard everything underneath himself. That's where we get into the We don't want to see bunch first bunch every every possession or every game But if you can see these little things that defensive players do then it can definitely Improve not only the way you play but the way you watch man and where you understand it and the way you don't just think It's the same play over and over because even though I said they're just covered three shells, right? But I gave you three different adjustments to do to the outside corners, you know note that so not only Is it gonna improve your cover three, but it's gonna make you see covered three a little bit better man So if you liked this video, please hit the like button just little stuff We're gonna keep going on I said once this gets to 200 likes I'm gonna drop the next episode the next episode is gonna be offensive And I'll tell you guys any single thing you guys think you need help with or think they can improve on Please comment below and help me out because I need to help you guys more than I need to help
