To learn more football, I made an Ebook that teaches EVERYTHING you need to know, as if you’re a rookie entering the NFL www.kurtbenkert.com/real-football
Any chance of a sneak peek of a chapter? Even just the terminology would help to understand your videos better for folks like me who aren't really trying to play or teach it myself.
one good tip to help quick adjust is double tapping Y/triangle for corners, left dpad for d line, and right dpad for linebackers. This allows you to give individual adjustments without having to manually switch to each player. Great Video!
Suggestion: For me at least, it would be easier to see the adjustments and more of a run down of the defense in a practice mode. This would make it seem like more of an ebook which is easier to reference than in game showing. Just an idea I know that that's more time and effort but it would be so sick. LOVE THE VIDS!!!!!!!
@KurtBenkert The way we are taught to train in the military for optimal information absorption is: Explanation, Demonstration, Replication. So if you explain a defense, show it in practice mode, then show clips of it working in real games, it'll be easier for people to absorb. Just FYSA in case you were curious how the military would do it!
Needed this. I'm finally really wanting to improve, and you've helped immensely. Props bro. Also, shouts to the devs. What a monumental task this roadmap must be.
Nickel is just a really fun defense overall. I like to play out of 3-3, Dbl Mug, and 3-3 Odd. I've been trying to dip into triple as well, but it hasn't been nearly as viable. I'm basically a casual as well, so I've just stuck with what works. There are a decent amount of playbooks with those sets in them too. I've been using Baltimore's D
I love this even the more cuz it’s a defensive video using Regs. I don’t have time to play MUT due to my schedule so I can only play regs. So thank you for this man!
I been running this for years im madden and coaching youth and high-school football. In madden, If one of my safetys has a back in the back ill walk him up over the center. one or two of the a-gap guys or edge rushers runs free cause the center looks on to your safety right over him.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You do a great job explaining what you’re doing and the concepts/reasoning behind it. After being around coaches as a player and then as a coach for 20 or so years I’ve learned that quality teaching is rare and is a different skill set from just straight up X’s & O’s. Your stuff has been a big help in offense. If you can I’d love to see how you’d attack cover 4 mable, that particular D gives me fits online
I really want to see you play against some madden pros. It would be really interesting to see how you would be able to adapt to their changes and styles.
Same this has been my defense for the last couple of weeks, I love these videos, but feel like they raise the bottom feeders play up by just copying and pasting. Still a great video, there’s a few ways to expose this already though
Kurt you should make irl football videos. I know a lot of people would love to watch that especially from an ex NFL player. QB tutorials would be really nice!
The only big weakness I've seen generally to double a style formations is that you can give up deep dig routes and deep crosses. But I mix up the blitz up the middle and cover 3 seam with man occasionally and I find great results
Kurt can you make a video as the qb now to how to beat this defense.? Get someone to play against you and coordinate stuff to show us how to be the Top dog d coverage
A defensive madden video that isn't Dollar 3-2? We're saved. All anyone uses anymore is Dollar, it's actually kinda crazy how good it is. Great passing defense, and it's entirely way too good at stopping the run for a 3 down linemen formation, with safeties at linebacker(how everyone plays it). It's symmetrical though, the spacing is good and it makes adjusting easier, so that's why people use it. But yea, first time I've seen anyone talking about double a-gap nickel. Good stuff.
Is the application of this D self explanatory? I don’t have a great understanding of how and when to make the adjustments that you did. Is it as simple as just run zone / man depending on what’s better against your opponents preferred offense, just using this formation? Also do you recommend base aligning ?
Quick question kurt i always wanted to ask a proffesional nfl qb this but if you had to pick one coverage that is the hardest to throw against when you played in the league which one would you say ??
Man I’ve been using this w cowboys for the last week to 2 weeks it’s been op, it’s going to be the new 3-3 nickel. You need good ends Steelers are nice with this too
How do you engage your LB and then disengage so fast? I keep getting caught where the LB is in a full pass rush and I end up doing pass rush moves instead of disengaging.
This Defense is super easy to beat if you're decent at Madden and can make adjustments with your offense. Drag routes, Curl routes, and Post routes with running under center instead of out of the gun will destroy this defense all day.
@@RedKingdom28 Best defense i found to run on H2H is Cover 2 out of the Nickel. When they cheese the flats, run Cover 2 hard flat and user the LB for Mid. Or run cover 1 robber for the cheese mid routes and user the FS. other than that, run cover 2 man for corner routes. Just got to be able to adjust to the players offense.
Wide zone bro key to a good Madden 24 offense with pa shot plays and high percentage passes under center mostly and good d u can dominate people abandon the run too easily
@@MarkellCruz-uf2jb I always establish the run and then setup the big play PA shots off of that. I also like to use the hurry up offense when I get big gash runs and audible to a PA play. My opponents can only take it for about a quarter and then they quit.
what are your flat drops? do you use them or do you just use hard cloud curl and quarter flats to change yardage? hook curls on default too or not? i usually prefer 10-15 on mine especially if i have a ko
All my opponents last 3 days have seen this video before it was even released. Ngl, this coverage is mad annoying😂 I’m running it tho too bc it does work💀
