Comprehensive guide on defense in Madden 25. Here's a summary of the key points discussed:

 1. Coaching Adjustments

    Auto Flip Defensive Play Call: Keep this on to align the defense with the strength of the offensive formation.

    Option Defense: Set to conservative to prevent QB runs on read options.

    Strip Ball and Tackling: Typically set to balanced, but in desperate situations, set to aggressive for higher chances of causing fumbles at the risk of missed tackles.

 2. Matching Personnel

    Two or Less Receivers: Use 43 or 34 defense for heavier sets likely to run.

    Three Receivers: Use Nickel defense to have three cornerbacks on the field.

    Four Receivers: Use Dime defense for four cornerbacks to match the offensive speed.

    Balanced Approach: Nickel is a versatile base defense for both pass and run situations.

 3. Coverages

    Cover 2 Man: Mantoman with two safeties deep, good for overall coverage.

    Tampa 2: A safer version of Cover 2, forcing the offense to take short, underneath passes.

    Cover 3: Provides good deep coverage with three deep zones and is useful for forcing underneath throws.

    Cover 4 Drop: Great for base defense with four deep zones and safety run fits, useful against both run and pass.

 4. Base Defense Tips

    Cover 4 Adjustments: Walk safeties down to help with run fits and stop deep passes.

    Cover 3 Adjustments: Shade down to put hard flats on the field, helping to limit short gains.

    Tampa 2: Run stock, keep plays in front, and force opponents to drive slowly down the field.

 5. Defensive Adjustments

    Defensive Line: Shift and slant the line to counter specific offensive plays (e.g., crash inside for run defense).

    Linebackers: Blitz or drop them into zones depending on your strategy.

    Secondary: Use press (man coverage) or cushion (prevent big plays) adjustments depending on the situation. Shade coverage to influence how your defenders play routes (e.g., shade underneath to stop short passes).

 6. Individual Player Adjustments

    Spy or Man Assignments: Use these to counter specific offensive threats, like a scrambling QB.

    QB Contain: Set edge rushers to contain the QB, though it can be hit or miss.

 7. Run and Pass Commit

    Run Commit: Commit the defense to the run, but be cautious as it leaves you vulnerable to deep passes.

    Pass Commit: Prevents defenders from biting on playaction and improves pass rush, but vulnerable to the run if guessed wrong.

 8. Blitzing

    Focus on man blitzes with six rushers (six red arrows) to apply heavy pressure. This can disrupt the offense but is risky if not welltimed.

These strategies should help you improve your defense in Madden 25, covering the basics and some advanced tactics for both beginners and experienced players.
