Defense is horrible

[Derek_tiffmc]

I’m sure this has been discussed several times but the defense play is horrible. Way too many busted coverages where db’s or safeties completely leave receivers wide open to go to another receiver. I swear madden 99 was better than this. Is there a work around or a slider change that could possibly help with this. I can’t find a solution. Seems like this is an issue every year now.

I feel the same way. I just switched to matt10's sliders after getting tired of how I feel was unnatural playing. Just didn't feel right. First game with them results:

Miami vs LAC (I use Miami)

Herbert: 27-33 404 yards 5 td 0 int avg 12.2 long 75

Me: 11-28 194 yards 1 td 1 int 6.9 avg long 66

Turned it off with 7:23 left in the 4th.

I'm about sick of this game 🤣

My defense is sick. Shrug.

Hard to comment without knowing the type of play (vs human or AI. Franchise or MUT) or skill level you play on.


I can tell you my All-Madden franchise as Dallas (who are well rated in pass defence) I am last in yards allowed, but 1st in sacks and interceptions. That's partly due to the AI playing from behind and I think my snap counts are a little high too. You can certainly stop the AI, and effectively play a variety of zone and man coverage, and zone and man blitzes.

I’m playing all madden. Off line franchise vs cpu

You’ll get better. Keep grinding. I’d rather have it this way than be able to beat everyone.

There’s no amount of grinding to make that better. Just poor design. All the older generation madden games never did this.

For instance I’d be running man coverage and as soon as the cpu qb threw the ball my db left his man to try and cover another wr and left his wide open.
