The Madden-School.com Ultimate Defensive eBook for Madden 25 is now available! Defense is harder than ever in Madden 25 but that didn’t stop us from putting together an ebook that will leave your opponent confused and angry. It has all sorts of A-gap pressure, B-Gap pressure, double edge heat, run stoppers, and much more (including how to turbo blitz in Madden 25).
It is based out of the Cincinnati Bengals defensive playbook but the majority of the plays can be found in any 4-3 defensive playbook. The formations covered in the ebook are below.
- 4-3 Stack
- 4-3 Under
- 4-3 Over Plus
- 46 Normal
- Nickel Wide 9
- Nickel Normal
- Quarters Normal
- Quarters 3 Deep
Many of the plays in the ebook are very simple and can be done in 3 adjustments or less. The hardest setups will take 4 adjustments with an optional 5th. We have included a sample from the ebook below that is by far the most complicated setup. If you can make these adjustments in about 10 seconds, you can easily use any play in the Madden 25 Ultimate Defensive eBook in an online game.
Play: Saw 0 Blitz
Setup:
- Hot route your OLB on the right side of the screen to cover the guy who isn’t being covered (usually a running back or tight end)
- Shift your dline to the left
- Reblitz your DT#1 and move him over to the left 1 spot
- Take your OLB on the right side of the screen and reblitz him and move him between the right guard and center
- (Optional) Man align
Play: Cover 2 Sink
Setup:
- Shift D-line to the left
- Reblitz your DT#1 and move him over to the left 1 spot
- Hot route your MLB to blitz
- Hot route your OLB on the left side of the screen to a blitz and place him directly over the right guard.
- (Optional) Put your deep safeties in yellow zones
Play: Cover 3
Setup:
- Spread D-line
- Reblitz both DTs
- Shift linebackers out
- Reblitz both outside linebackers
- Make whatever adjustments you want to the zone defense behind it
Once your opponent is so concerned with you blitzing from the A gap and both sides of the formation all at the same time they will start blocking at least 1, probably 2 extra guys. That is a good time to start calling some max coverage plays like 2 man under or cover 3. You will have 7 0r 8 defenders in coverage against only 3 receivers. At that point, you have the offense reacting to you and you have completely taken them out of their gameplan.
Remember, those plays are the most complicated and hardest to set up, so don’t worry if it seems like a long setup. The majority of the plays in the eBook are 2-3 steps and take about 5 seconds max.
