Defensive pre snap adjustments?

[d23x]

Can someone point me in the direction of a good tut video on understanding which situations to use certain pre snap adjustments on defense against the cpu. I am getting absolutely cooked through the air by the cpu on all madden and would just like to get better defensively. I don’t mind losing games but I feel helpless most of the time on that side of the ball. It doesn’t help that it feels like my pass rush is non existent compared to the cpu.

It's not necessarily pre-snap adjustments that's the issue. I play franchise All-Madden and do OK. Year 2 without Gilmore was harder, but still do OK. I find it's important to mix up your coverages (tend to play softer zones earlier downs, man 3rrd and short/medium, zone longer) and the only pre-snap I do is shade the LBs and 3rd and long set the secondary to "sticks"

User pass defense seriously needs a patch I’m getting torched by every cpu QB…played the cards last night wondered why their receiver was wide open for a 27 yd catch and run …watched the replay and 2 of my defenders had bumped into each other and carried on like that for 20 yds downfield

Friendly reminder that OP asked for tips / video recs for getting better at defense - not another "this game is broken thread"

Here is some links that have some defensive tips that I've found in the forums. I would be careful when looking through videos on youtube - it's a slippery slope where a lot of videos are focused on "money plays" or winning games USER v USER online.

I don't have the links but check out Eric Wayweather on YouTube, he is fairly good and well known for tips on Madden. I have seen other guys make tutorial videos to

Check this guy’s stuff out: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...qpqtUA_xw/edit.

Also check out Geronimo22 on YouTube.

I took the scheme guide stuff in the first link and focused on the Saban disguise 34 part, and I used a bunch of pre-snap disguise and had my best game in a long, long time defensively vs. the pass.

I’d do stuff like come out in quarters and rotate to 3 seam or 3 buzz seam late (got a pick from this), or go from a 1 high man call to a 1 C3 zone blitz out of the same set. It definitely worked to keep the CPU on its toes. I saw more misfires when I approached each call like a game of chess than when I just call my play and run it, and it was more fun.

one of the issues i have is that when cover 1 etc the safeties can be silly distances from the los, i want my safeties 12 yds from the los anything else gives away coverage, if i show blitz it moves my corners down which i dont want
