To learn more football, I made an Ebook that teaches EVERYTHING you need to know, as if you’re a rookie entering the NFL. www.kurtbenkert.com/real-football

After all these years of Madden “tutorials” being cheese plays and metas… learning how to apply leverage, matchups, and pocket/coverage manipulation to Madden has been so refreshing. Thank you for these videos.

I was gonna say looking at what he had there he had one high safety, i saw his progression but i also saw the was Davis was lined up on the inside of the corner which usually makes them guarding sidelines and have him over the top but Kurt is more of a clock manager in a sense of playing the underneath route

Appreciate you helping me unlock Monken/Lamar/Zay in Baltimore with these motions and reading defenses videos. Manipulating everything away from Flowers has changed my entire offensive outlook. 💜🔥

I found some tricks with motion. Some formations allow you to motion 2 people at once. And some routes change when you motion them. And you can get unique routes by hotrouting while they are in motion.

I really love this educationial stuff. Madden videos shouldve came out like this a while ago and I really hope you continue to explain concepts and your knowledge from football. Keep up the good work

KB over here cooking and making 'em ragequit. 😂

Love how we can keep coming back to this vid and learn something new each time. It's also really cool to see some of the motion concepts I already employ validated by the man! LET's GO!

Been watching for a while now, love your videos! You've helped me figure out a lot of passing concepts that I otherwise would not have deciphered. Is there a way you could go through, perhaps telestrator style, and explain a little more in-depth about the concepts you're using and what they entail? 15 seconds per play while you're rattling off the lingo can be a little hard to follow sometimes and I would *love* a more granular breakdown. Thanks either way and keep on killin' it!

This is super clear and understandable, basics that I wasn't sure on and complex reading that I want to learn. Perfect

I literally motion on every single play, just to see if thr defense is in man or to see what side is the blitz potentially coming from. The best thing to do if you’re not great at pre-snap reads

Brother I’ve been playing Madden (again that is, after a LONG layoff) since 20 dropped. Last time I played prior to 20 I think Eddie George was on the cover (turbo, hit the B button, done). I’ve been watching all these different KZreadrs’ vids for 5 years now trying to figure this crazy game out. I haven’t even played H2H in 3 years (my 2 1/2 yo daughter is my priority now) but you got me Jonesing hard to get back online. I’ve learned more from you this year alone than I have from all the others combined the past 5 years. Love what you do bro. Please keep it up! And thank you.

Always appreciate your content

I’m from London and only recently started to get into American football, The first game I ever watched was the Super Bowl (not because of Taylor swift) which was insane and I’ve watched and listened to so much videos/podcast but you have also helped me a lot I will say you can learn a lot and like a sport a lot more from playing the games and just watching your videos are the best man. keep it up bro 👊🏾

Thanks for the content. I've learned a lot watching your vids. Makes me realize how complicated football is and how smart you have to be to make quick reads as a QB.

Thank you so much for making this video. I practiced it & then used it in a game on Madden Difficulty and it really works. Thanks Kurt! 👍🏻

@@KurtBenkert-0..._0- Which one? I’m going through the podcasts on the other channel. Your breakdown of Caleb was really interesting. Your master classes on Madden are so helpful. I don’t necessarily have a football mindset so I’ve been rewatching your video on defense and it makes a lot of since. If you break it down that way it’s not as tough. The redemption series? Don’t even get me started I could talk about that all day. It’s my favorite series on the net. I can’t wait to see what next season brings after the heartbreak of season 1. Thank you for all you do. Your hard work is appreciated by us all.

The only reason I started watching your videos was bc I was hyped to see you play in the XFL and then I couldn't. Saw your name pop up on my feed, and now I'm big fan!

thanks kurt , i been playing around with motion a lot just learning as i go

Your videos are awesome, as someone who isn't from the USA and didn't grow up with football they've taught me so much and sparked a love for the game. You use a lot of terms that I still don't understand yet, but I'm doing my best to keep up. Would you ever consider doing an 'Intro to football / Madden' video for people who are brand new to the sport? With your experience and teaching abilities I think you'd do a better job than anyone.

So dope hearing and watching this from an nfl qb

Thank you. I always used motion in other maddens and couldn’t figure out how to do it in this on. Very much appreciate you sir

First madden youtuber that is actually bearable and even enjoyable to watch

More knowledge gained KB ✌️

Stellar breakdown man🔥🔥

Your thumbnails are so sick!!!

Your voice is so calming 😂

Damn good video man.

It's crazy how Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES not only had plays with auto-motion, but multiple players would motion at the same time. That's why it remains the GOAT.

If I was playing against somebody like this, I wouldn’t quit. I see he’s actually trying to play football and not trying to play a cheesy game. I played someone like this just today. It was tough to be real, but I still won playing a time of possession game.

love the uploads definitely help. how do you hot route to different routes without hot route master?

This is awesome! Is there anyway you could do the same on how to play defense against motion?

Bro this was phenomenal you literally taught me more about how to understand defense playcalling than i learned in my few years on defense in pop warner football. Ive played madden for years and have never understood what the difference in formations were or how to figure out what they are doing when on offense and how to just read everything💯. Definitely ginna subscribe hope you have done more explanation videos of play calling etc because bow im fixated 💪😎❤️

Madden has to be so much fun when you genuinely know how to play football and know what to and what not to do

I LOVE this channel. I completely suck at madden and it's because I suck at making pre play adjustments to what the defense is showing me. If we are playing poker I have my pre reads of what people have and it's no issue. Looking forward to improving pre play adjustments. Thank you!

I'm glad I've found this video. Ima try it today thanks Coach

Always love your videos man. You're a Goat 🗣️ Go Pack Go🧀🧀

Yo we need more content asap 💯

Got me into american football fr

@kurtBenkert can you tell me which video of yours is related to the Redzone HB Scissors? I know you talk about it a lot but I always mess it up on the HB read. Thanks. Love your content.

Ever since watching your videos I've been using motion way more. I do hope Madden fixes and improves the motion usage in the next game because it's so pivotal in the NFL.

7:08 I never screamed "B!!!!" so hard😆😭

I like the short flat route hits honestly. It's It's reason I will rush for 100 (I am not great with rushing) and throw for 400+ every game. KB has upped my game that was already decent. It's weird how he's making me better at madden.

I've actually started calling defense differently based on this stuff. I don't know if it's placebo or not, but I've seen more people motioning since seeing your videos a few weeks back (myself included). I see motions, I'm in zone. I've got cover 2 man ready for the audibles, so when they run their motion, I last-second audible to man and get some crazy picks (or the reverse, going from man to zone after motion), combined with fake blitz aligns. This stuff not only opened up offense, but defense, too. Awesome stuff.

Colts fan..but i like playing with different teams. Right now, I'm using the Bucs with Baker. Using Motion really helps me help Baker and have a solid offense. Given time a little time, he throws a decent deep ball. Thanks bro please keep the videos coming. Those deep crossing routes with the mobile QB rolling out....whats a good defense for those. Those plays are "Savior Plays" for guys online....

I want to see your videos while you’re using an eye tracker. It would be awesome to see where you’re looking throughout plays.

Motion and fake hot routes are my favorite in the run game

this that motion talk!

Thank you Kurt for expanding on using motion in Madden, it really has taken my play up a notch. Love seeing you progress on KZread also, your videos give a whole nother perspective on how you break down defenses and make the right reads. Keep killing it bro, and GO PACK GO!!!!! 🙏🏼

Can you do a video on how to stop crossing routes? I have a franchise with my friends and all they do is abuse crossers.

vids like this makes me wish i didnt see football as a barbaric looking game when i was a kid. theres so much depth to the game looking at the game from the top down and i missed all of that learning in my formative years.

I remember when I first learned how to use motion on Madden 12. My uncle was playing a career mode with a custom team and was in the AFC Championship. I joined the game at halftime and made a comeback from 28 down. My uncle got all salty and was like "hey can you please stop I wanna get to the superbowl" lol.

The second dude wasn’t nervous reading your motions he was probably bored waiting for you to hike the damn ball

Thank you Captain Kurt. It’ll be hard for me to utilize this more in my script, but it’ll take eventually. o7

7:05 This was so informative I always appreciate your perspective. Curious question tho is there any spacing or scenario in this look that the seam would be the right throw? I’m under the impression that seams eat cover 3 for breakfast and it looks like they might be able to play the ball in the air unless you rocket it in but I’d love to hear your input on this

I don’t even own madden but I could tell this was some fire gameplay by the ragequit threepeat 😭

I haven’t watched the video yet however I do have a question before I forget it. Can linebackers shade inside or outside just as well as DBs in zone coverage?

By far my favorite madden content creator

Could you please do a video on what to do when you are playing someone who is a demon user with a hook/vert hook. With the motion i feel like the user really keys in to the side of the motion as they know you are trying to set something up. If the user takes away my first read my whole plays crumbles. I feel like it would be a good video.

Last madden I was in pistol offense.. this year I seen how Miami was motioning like 80% of thier offense... so I adapted that into Madden, im in Spread PB and have over 70 different motion plays I can go to 💪 puts so much stress on the user and defense

how do you make your flats far? when i do flats, their like 4-5 yards max

can you explain the reads on passing plays? I assumed the red or colored receiver was your first read on the play.

What about in the super star career mode?
