Thank you for purchasing the Madden 17 Defensive Lockdown eBook for PlayStation 4 and XBOX One. The eBook will be viewable directly on our website or via our Madden School Unlimited app. This eBook is based out of the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive playbook but many of the plays can be found in other playbooks as well.
Keep in mind this ebook is not supposed to act as an official strategy guide. It is just a collection of tips from our team of professional madden gamers organized in a way that is easy to understand.
Make sure Auto flip defensive playcall is set to off in your settings. I really can’t stress that point enough. It is extremely important.

Where are the multiple “3-4” formations? I run the Baltimore Ravens.

The 3-4 formations can be found inside of the Kansas City defensive ebook.
I can’t find a play that will stop the opponent from easily throwing the ball for completions…… Another one win, four loss season…. about to break my f*****ing controller.
Whats the fastest blitz in this play book everything I do the one out the 3-4 I get quick I need the fastest one on the site pressure pressure pressure I can’t take this anymore ??
Hi Guys, can you please provide some tips on how to match your defense to the offense your opponent is sending out?
Up until now , playing All-Madden against the CPU, I always go with coach suggestions, not really paying attention to what offensive play the opponent selected and that’s probably why my defense is struggling so much.
For example, how do you know what defense formation to choose if you opponent is sending out 2, 3 or 4 WR?
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Generally, 2 WR means you should go with a 4-3 or 3-4 defense, 3 WR means you should go with a Nickel defense, and 4 wide receivers means you should go with a Dime defense.
Relative Neebie, preparing for a really good player with a high powered offense. How do I slow him down & shorten the game?
I need
1. “bend don’t break D” suggestions
2. High percentage plays for 5-6 yds
3. Strategy to stay out of 3rd & long.
For bend but don’t break defenses, you generally just want to rush 3 or 4 guys. Tampa 2 and Cover 4 with 2 guys in yellow zones are decent bend but don’t break defenses.
Your other 2 questions are covered pretty well in our offensive ebooks. I’d recommend starting out with the Gun Tight Offset TE mini ebook to start your scheme around.
Whats the best D to stop the run & deep passes across the middle vs the hurry up. (Keep in mind that I’m not good at getting user LB picks).
Thanks. Love the e books!
Probably any cover 4 is your best bet to slow down runs and stop deep passes over the middle.
Im really new. Can i play the Jaguars Playbook with the Packers too? Because they usually don’t play the 4-6 Formation in real. Does this matter in Madden?
Yes you can use any team’s playbook with any team.
