Thank you for purchasing the Madden 16 Minnesota Defense eBook for PlayStation 4 and XBOX One. The eBook will be viewable directly on our website. This eBook is based out of the Minnesota Vikings 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.
It is extremely important that you set up your depth chart in a way that maximizes the speed of your defensive line. It is our recommendation to move 2 fast linebackers into the defensive end spots, and 2 of your faster defensive ends to defensive tackle.
We go over the adjustments we made to our depth chart using the Vikings personnel below.

Are the coverages in the 4-3 as effective as the 3-4 bear in your opinion?
I’m not sure the coverages are but many of the blitzing are incredibly strong.
I haven’t really gone through the Plays yet but would the plays from the same formation like the nickels and quarter work and be found in the original defensive ebook you guys released?
Are you guys going to be releasing a offensive ebook soon?
It will likely be at least a few more weeks until we have another ebook ready.
I love this new ebook. For my play style I, I like the 4-3 defense a whole lot better than the 3-4. The cover 4 in the 4-3 Under is an awesome coverage defense.
Can you provide us what other team specify besides the Vikings can have success using this defensive playbook and also can you set up the depth chart front 7 of the teams would greatly appreciate .
A good universal rule is any team that runs a 4-3 defense it will work well with. That is teams like the Cowboys, Bengals, Seahawks, Vikings, and a few others. To set up the front 7 with most teams, you will want to move your defensive ends to DT and your OLBs to DE. The put your best remaining linebackers at the 3 linebacker spots.
I understand I tried those other teams but the Viking front 7 seem to get in the best
I get in consistently with the horrible titans team. I think this works with any team. I beat a 3 0 dude 45 0. He was the lions I was the titans. This playbook works
What would you recommend to run as base formation from this book? I’m loving all the heat I just don’t know what to come out in
4-3 Under if your opponent is balanced. Quarters Normal if you are playing a guy who never runs.
Which one gets better pressure, the 34 guide or this one?
I’d say they are about even. It just depends on whether you are more comfortable with the 4-3 or 3-4.
Do you put your best overall lbs at de pr backup lbs at de
You should put your fastest linebackers at DE.
Even if they are starters? I enjoy using the titans but their starting lbs are the fastest (Orakpo and Morgan I believe).
Yes it is usually even better if they are starters.
You mention putting in the fastest linebackers at DE. Is it better to go with a high acc guy say 82 spd, 87 acc or go with a high Spd guy 87 spd, 82 acc?
Either one will work very well but you are probably best with the 87 speed 82 acc guy.
