 Abilities abilities abilities. Let's talk about it. Which ones are good. Which ones are bad. Which ones work Which ones don't which ones are worth it who gets what how do I put them all this that blah blah? Let's figure it out right now If you guys want to watch me play live twitch.tv slash dub that link is below any offense defense special teams coaching Adjustment sliders anything you need can be found man turf comm you guys can check that out live also Every Wednesday all my twitch subs get a lab session stream for free if you are subbed to my twitch channel So if you guys want a free lab session check out everything that's going through my mind a way for you guys to talk to me I wait for you guys to ask me any question about Madden live on Wednesday nights on my twist So you guys can check that out as well, but man Abilities they have this new ability point system man, and honestly it's awesome I love everything about it man If you want to get that edge that ability is gonna cost you three points and man that's a lot you have ten total both on offense and defense and figuring out the best combination is Pretty much the biggest puzzle or you know just biggest thing we got to figure out while we're playing this game man And I'll tell you um I really like the defense in this game. I like the way the zones play I like the way the underneath ones you can change the distance of your yellows of your purples of your clouds everything But deep blues are a little bit weak I'll be honest you can throw at them even deep down the field man And I will tell you something the best corner in this game I think it's a sante Samuel if you guys ask me what secondary player is a must-have a Sante Samuel former Eagle great is definitely on that list. So let's take a look at this card I'll show you guys this crazy combination I put on a Sante Samuel and see if you guys like it man because I think it's something I want to keep live I keep want to keep working with but I think it's going to be something that really boosts Everybody's defense mine included as well, man, but let's take a look at this card now Sante Samuel he's a 91 overall I have a I've used lockdown chemistry on defense for my secondary So he has boosted zone boosted everything. So let's take a look at his card. Um 92 speed I have 40 sprinters. So he's 92 speed. We see with the 93 zone the 86 man 93 play rec Just just absolutely a dog when it comes to zone now He is 510 which is a little bit short and I have realized that you know I mean, I've always been a tight guy and everything like that and that's something that you know I've realized some of these short cards can kind of ball whether it's a Sante Samuel drablei as you guys saw in my other video or Tyron Matthews actually balls out now for me as well But the abilities I want to use the combo is acrobat, which I think is awesome on all my DB's I actually have five acrobats on the field right now. I have no d-line abilities my d-line minor naked I have five Abilities in my second there as far as acrobat now acrobat will get you to dive and catch interceptions dive and swat Pretty much go crazy if you're near the ball and you can lay out for it. I really like it, especially on my users I like that now. This is the one that I tried man. It's deep in zone knockout So improve the reaction and knockouts in deep inside zones now obviously he's a corner So he's gonna be on the outside now what I'm going to do in this game and with this combination of deep zone knockout And acrobat I am going to put him in free safety I'm going to put him in a deep third in the middle of my field and let this combination Really take over and see if it's worth it to use this combination is this deep in zone knockout Really going to be that good So what I'm going to do is I want to take this safety put him in a deep middle and bring him down close to the line That way he's not too far back to react and he's able to really jump on the ball Let's see if these two abilities work now the reason why I use a Sante Samuel and not a Sante Samuel and not you know Bob Sanders or Tyron Matthew or whatever of the safety Adrienne Wilson the best Safety's in the game at water is because the deep zone the deep in zone knockout costs more AP on other players if you're a zone Archetype corner it only talk cost to AP two of your salary your ability cat points only Otherwise, it's three Rod Woodson is a great example man Rod Woodson is a lot more physical than a Sante Samuel can probably play the safety position a little bit better than him But this particular ability costs three cap on him rather than two on a Sante So I'm doing I'm put a Sante a free safety. We're gonna bring him down in the box Let's see if he goes crazy and helps me win this game All right boys, so we're playing Chacoby if you guys have watched any Madden over the last week You know Chacoby is a leaderboard demon. I think I this is my second game against Chacoby That's actually on my YouTube man. So he's a tough opponent somebody I can really see if disabilities want to work now He's doing this contain blitz if you guys have run into this where they pinch and crash the d-tackles and just put Contains and they disengage and really get stupid under pressure It's going to be patched. I believe tomorrow if you're watching this video is probably already patched So for me, I feel it's foolish to run a defense like this that you know is not gonna be available for you tomorrow You know, but you know kids have to do what they have to do to be competitive and Chacoby is doing this disengage Contain glitch, which is easy man You guys do want to do it You just any three down linemen as I convert a huge fourth and ten early in the game Tyreek Hill big catch for him Any defensive line with 3d linemen right there just pinch crash down and contain your contains We'll go to the middle and they'll like good be glitchy around the offensive linemen It's gonna be really hard for your opponent to block this but we get a big third and 19 I believe we hit this out route right here to Julio Jones get close to field of range But we're gonna go for them fourth down He sends a little blitz and I throw that way too early and though interception to Adrian Wilson timing was off right there That's what the blitz can do for you looking back I mean, I really had time the blitz was going to get picked up now Chacoby is going to run a tight offset. It's obviously if you guys watch me play it is something I'm very very familiar with and It's pretty much revolve around this right here the corner out now as a Madden nerd. I know the corner out is on the opposite side of the running back Have to make sure I go out there and guard that corner out every time now right there You see it right? Boom. I run out there and guard that corner out We get it the we get an intentional grounding from doing the ball away while he's in the pocket now The one thing about this game with the runoff right now It is very tough as he throws a wheel route There's 20 yards down a field on third and 23 It is very hard and then he hits the corner out again Pretty easy drive the first one. It's very hard to stop Or to set up your defense because all these opponents They're all up against the clock with only 10 seconds of line. So the quick snap is very viable It's a lot part of a lot of people's offenses In fact this year we can snap the ball faster than any other year out of the huddle from Madden This is the fastest play call to snap Madden has ever been so quick snapping is a huge part of Madden 21 It's something I try to get better at and I have incorporated it in my e-book That's on Madden surface. We throw this out route to Julio. He gets it right there drops the ball That is the million coin limited Julio Jones People ask me all the time as I hit the flat the Finley right here. They asked me all the time It's Julio worth it. Honestly. No, I don't think any card is worth a million coins in Madden at all flat route again the Finley But he is a dog So if you guys had the luxury of having that many coins try out that Julio Jones man But I said don't worry if you don't have them because it's not that big a deal as we see Julio eating again Three-yard line. We're getting close to halftime here got to use some clock and I have Bo Jackson big-boy Bo right there So those are the two biggest cards that you know just upgrades I have on my team right now Bo Jackson Julio Jones Still running Lamar quarterback There's no reason to have any other quarterback in the game if you don't have that mobility You are missing out offensively man Find a way to get that ability or that mobility on your field as we give up the corner out again It gets to a point in this game where I say, you know what I'm just gonna guard this corner out That's all you want to throw boom right there in front of a santae and I need to move a santae closer to the box That's what I need to do and he goes that I told you that's enough I don't want any more you do the ball in there You're not throwing to the corner up don't anybody else. That's one thing Bill Belichick I talk about all the time take away the number one thing your opponent wants to do he wants to load that corner out It's not happening anymore this does rest of this game throw a drag throw a slant throw anything else But it's I'm not giving up the corner out I go up top for a corner route and Julio can't moss a santae right there Forcing things now. There's very little time left in the half here, but I can still get a field Well, if I make a big play just give myself an option as I dump it off to Bo Jackson pick up 15 yards 10 seconds left in a half got to make one more dot and I can actually get a field goal because we have the more in Anderson with the 88 kick power and Lamar Jackson will roll out pick up 11 yards. I'm at the 38 This is a 55 yard field goal Perfect kick power more in Anderson right over the uprights money half time 10 to 7 I have a lead I'm kicking the ball off so I play defense one I have to stop the corner route and I have to move this a santae into the box So we see if this ability can make a play man because if he's 30 yards back He's not going to jump anything That's one thing I'll tell you guys man If you want your deep blues to be a little bit more aggressive bring them closer to the box man It's something Madden players have been doing for a long time Not only in this game, but in any Madden pretty much. I've ever played But you will be susceptible to other things as he almost has to drag right there, but we get some pressure And I said I'm guarding the corner route. There's nothing else He can go to Tyree kill coming up with a huge catch in traffic Tyron Matthew there knocker. I wish Tyron Matthew had a little more boots to be able to hit I honestly wish that but he's been a very good card for me We give up a corner out right there He went two corner routes right there kind of mixed it up a little bit But we're gonna cover it again really nowhere for him to go if I cover this corner out the right way Rolls out those it up top, but there's Rod Woodson knocking the ball away from the running back I believe that's there second and ten Another slant right there So I got to play a little bit more aggressive on those slants and guard the corner out Maybe shade down guard the corner route have my yellow zone was playing a little more physical once again He hits that post over the middle. I have to bring us on when I say bring a something down I'm saying literally next to my linebackers. I'm running nickel normal this game So I have two linebackers, but as you see before that snap I wanted to almost look like I have three and right there He threw him into the entire Eagles team and did not get a interception. That's what we want in next play again He drew that time of sante went crazy, but he swatted you see that diving swat those are the things you get with acrobat Would have loved the diving pick honestly if he was taller his player model might reach out and grab that rather than reach Out dive and swat the swat the ball right there, but we're closing in and get into the fourth quarter here I have to go down and get some points to take the lead in this game. We see Lamar rolling out again We're gonna hit this corner out the Julio Jones Hooli Manduli six-foot three able to reach out and catch that before the DB could get it next play again He's too slow to keep up with Hooli Manduli Inside this 15-yard line right here next play. Hey three times the charm Hooli Manduli touchdown just that easy one two three plays find the money man get into the end zone now Like I said those plays were great But you know Jerry Rice probably could have did all those plays really But it looks better when it's a million car a million coin card making plays for you, but You know now we gotta play defense. I feel like I'm okay. I feel like some of the passes He's thrown could be an interception So I just have to keep my keep this corner out There we go again boom and we get the hit stick from Adrian Wilson right there over the top Gotta move my safety's down can't let him go that post route anymore like that That's that's gonna be the only real route He has to go to in these situations goes to it again and holds on in all that traffic The reason I don't always have a Sunday down there is because honestly He's getting rid of the ball so fast and my main concern is make sure I'm on my user to take away this corner Out so moving a Sunday down in the box is pretty much my last adjustment and right here Tyron Matthew Breaks up the corner out to the wide-sided field. We're closing on a two-minute morning third and ten right here He hits another slant in front of my purple zone right there But we're cool. We're up seven. We've just got to play defense keep him out of the end zone He only has one touchdown. We've been playing great defense since then and here we go We're gonna move the sign today up close to the linebackers and right here He's gonna make the play of the game just reacting diving laying out and Sealing the game with a huge interception right there giving me the ball back under a minute left in the game one first down We'll end it and that's what Bo Jackson does right there lower his shoulder We're just gonna keep pounding the ball. That's the type of play I want to see those are the plays I want even though there was a streak to run the deep third off He came back and jumped that post route laid out for so the combination of deep in knockout and Acrobat really made that interception for me So this is what man 21 is about figuring out what abilities you want to use and where you want to use them So if any abilities you guys want me to try out or any abilities you guys are using Please let me know in the comments below And if you like this type of video, please hit that like button
