Formation: 3-4 Bear
Play: Cover 2 Invert (Flipped) – Version 1 – Offense Blocking 5
Setup:
- Base Align
- Blitz your OLB on the left
- Crash your defensive line out
- QB Contain
- User the MLB on the right, move him between the guard and the center and hold LT/L2 before the snap

Setup:
- Base Align

- Crash your defensive line out
- QB Contain
- User the player in the yellow zone who is on the opposite side of the running back. Move him up between the guard and center and hold LT/L2
Overview: We call this play if we are expecting our opponent to block an extra running back. We are rushing 6 against 6 guys blocking but a player should come off the edge free most times. Even if your opponent blocks 7 guys, this play can sometimes come in (against a formation with both blockers on one side of the screen like Gun Trips TE).

What does holding LT do ?

How do you turn off auto flip permanently and come out in base align every time?
Hi, it is in the coaching adjustments screen when you are in a game.
Is it better to hold L2 vs r2 when doing blitzes,? Thanks
Hi! I actually run the Baltimore Ravens and the 3-4 Bear is in their Dbook as well. What are your recommend audibles for this formation and scheme? I’m actually labbing now.
Do these plays still work? And are there any good lockdown defensive plays that I’m missing or is it just all based on getting pressure
For those of us who are very new to the game and are looking for the How’s and Why’s you have nailed it. I was ready to give up on Madden football until I found you. I would be considered on the OLDER end of madden players, but you have helped me to realize that with some great advice on plays, strategies and application, I too can not only have fun, but, with practice, be able to compete. Thank You ALL for the work you put into the game and helping others. RTC
Thank you so much for the kind words!
