im decent at madden when it comes to stick skill. but when it comes to reading defense and makin offensive reads i struggle, these vids definitely help, appreciate the knowledge

If you like the Defensive side of the ball and want to stop everything Kurt talked about in this video, run Cover 9 Show 2 and Cover 3 Buzz Seam out of Nickel. These Defenses do a great job of disguising the pre-snap coverage, which confuses many novice Madden players. Anyways, great work, Kurt! Love the content. Keep it coming.

absolutely. so many variations you can run. as a standard play "Singleback Wing Slot - PA Y-Drag Wheel" is great. I love that TE route. its like a checkdown and a late developing deep ball at different points in your progression. also a big fan of having your TE run a cross route the opposite direction of the flood. The route develops at the perfect time so that its right where you want it to be after you read the flood routes. you can throw your RB on a wheel route as well, which enables you to attack cover 3 up the seam with the wheel route while still having multiple windows over the middle of the field with the flood. I also love dagger to the WR1 with the Slot WR clearing out the safety.(dagger plus that ability to generate extra separation on the last cut of a route is *chefs kiss*). I like to audible my RB on a Texas route as well. overall you get an early and late window to hit the crosser. with the ability to hit the Texas as a checkdown between the two windows for the cross. There's a whole bunch you can do with RB audibles in order to attack pretty much every kind of coverage or hedge your bets so that your plays all have routes which beat man and multiple types of zone.

​@@Rez12121 I usually full sprint immediately on the rollout. You still have the flood routes and the RB checkdown if it gets too hairy. But if you can, try to pull it off throw all the way back across the field to the TE. If you don't sprint you're gonna get wrecked. Also, I will run the abilities that make you immune to defensive pressure when on the run, as well as fearless, without inside or outside deadeye. Instead just getting the accuracy from dots so I can use two more abilities instead of both inside and sideline deadeye. Since it's easy to just built Dots and keep it. Then when you have gunslinger, the bullet throw leading pass perk, no throw penalty from pressure, and the deadeye accuracy from Dots. I'm able to hit it pretty consistently. Although I practiced it a lot and with Myles Garrett lined up on that edge position as well. I figure if I can pull it off against him, I should be able to with anyone.

I don't play Madden, I just want to understand football so when I'm watching it I know what's happening. Thank you! 😊

I dont even play madden but you have a way of explaining things in a simple way to the common man, ive gotten back into ncaa football 14 because of your vids

Thank you kurt. This helped me understand cover 3, i always throw picks into coverage against it. i love the way you're so vocal on offense and talk through your thoughts pre-snap. really makes me feel like I'm learning while watching. Good luck on your redemption series! ill be watching the whole way! much love

Great video, I feel like understanding how defenses and offenses work with blitzes, coverages, and routes makes watching football more fun. There's so much depth and layers to nfl offenses and defenses, it's fascinating to delve into

Great insight KB, thanks for hooking us up!

This is awesome man. There are some similar videos up on KZread about how to read coverages. I think you see the "big picture" of offense and football better than others do. You're also an awesome teacher, and you're really good at communicating your thoughts. Last night I watched this video, hit practice mode to try out come concepts, and then the next game I threw for like 330 yds with 4 TD's and no turnovers on All-Madden. I also teach guitar, and I might honestly end up taking some inspiration from your teaching style into my lessons.

I'd also love to see how to adjust a defense based on what you see on offense. I know you could reverse engineer it from these instructions, but I think both perspectives makes it more clear.

Best video you have posted yet (aside from your redemption series), I would love to see more like this. I am sure you can go even more in depth on these coverages. This is the kind of content I LOVE!

I’m really enjoying your channel. I found it via Instagram reels. I also love that i have commented that your videos stating that you help teach the reading of defenses, then you drop a deep in depth video a couple days later. You are really helping me destroy my friends in madden. Every single time they ask I say my man Kurt taught me some stuff 😂

I've been playing Madden since I was about 7 and barely got good within the last few years. I've been picking my older brother apart with route changes to create openings and my run game. Forever my favorite person to play against.

I started playing madden about 4 months ago. I was getting super frustrated and then I found your videos. I'm still not good at reading the defense but I can see my mistakes a lot clearer now.

Wow, Thanks for this video. It's complex but the light came on. I'm going to rewatch it and train myself to see space. Keep going DEEP with QB content! Bring the passion for the position. This will bless the next generation of QB Who are Madden Gamers.

Not only is this a good video for madden players, but its a good walk through for young quarter backs that are trying to understand the processes they need to go through to identify defense and break them down.

Great video Kurt. Of course, to understand offense at a high level, you have to have a high level understanding of how the defense is attacking you. The next video I would like to see is how you see defense from a QB's perspective. Like, how to you typically run your defense on Madden. What adjustments you like, or how people can up their game on defense for those who struggle. Thanks!

Damn right THANK YOU KURT ALWAYS BRO MUCH LOVE 🤘🏻🐐🐐🐐

Kurt is for the people! I love watching your shorts and definitely found this video helpful. Please do make more like this, especially with more vs against other players. Great info, great teacher, and most importantly - very fun!👌

I’ve thrown way less picks in madden since I started watching your videos. Like i understood the differences in coverages and stuff before but I couldn’t see it real time, now I see it. Seeing all the checkdowns vs cover 3 just makes me think of James white in the 28-3 game .

This is a great video! Hands down one of the best I’ve seen as far as concepts and ideology. What do you have for defense.

Hey u broke that down pretty good! That’s one of my problems is reading the defense like I’m supposed to. My pocket presence is not all that good either it’s been alittle struggle with that too but yeah thanks for bringing it more to the light for me👊🏿🤟🏾✌🏽

This is so sick man! The redemption videos got me into motioning the offense and making hot routes. Now hearing how an NFL Qb reads a defense is so cool to me.

This is great content, Kurt. You’re absolutely killing it man, keep up the good work!

Fuggin amazing dude. I love to see this kind of a qb mine. It helps allot. Super impressive!

Just found your channel and I’m a huge football guy and consider myself very knowledgeable. That being said, these videos help take my knowledge of the game and break it down for madden so you’re a legend 😂. Let’s get one to help me run the ball against different defenses next so I can keep that lead 👌

pretty awesome how you explain it and go through your reads.

Absolutely love the video and the concept. It’s very helpful to understand the “why”!

This is great stuff. Thank you. I’m good at manipulating space running the ball out of I, weak, and strong sets but continue to struggle passing. This is very helpful and I’ll probably watch this 6+ times! 😂

Just subscribed! And so much better at madden since watching you break down coverages!

Need you to show us how to play defense in madden. Appreciate your vids always kurt

Great vid! Love the breakdown & mathematics!!

I love the idea of this video. Not just oh here is basic cover w and cover 3. I like the explaining and the shading plus the game play. My only thing is running corners on cover 3 without a clear out lol

I think it would be cool to see a series of this in the same style as your redemption series, like “what if I played defense” or something like that

Great vid, you do a good job explaining these concepts

amazing video I've been looking for this exact thing thank you! subbed!

This dudes the man. Thanks for the helpful content. Reading defenses adds another level to madden. Appreciate it. Go niners!!!

This might be the most helpful video I’ve seen on this topic. Any chance of a video about how to call the correct defenses?

Love the content, Kurt! Keep killing it

My classic go to in the older games (dont play the newer ones cause they removed my favorite parts) is just read the safeties, I usually have at least two deep routes so if one safety drops in robber than one of the deep ones should be a makeable throw. great video. All about spacing and leverage!

This was always my favorite part of playing QB was the mind games you end up playing with the Linebackers and the Dime safeties for hidden flat coverages and QB spy’s

This video helped me allot looking at coverage differently

That was a great help! I’ve played Madden forever and haven’t really had it explained like that. Looking for more vids thanks

Great video Kurt giving the secrets of madden and how to get easy dubs.. one that at @11:10 you could have hit RB for an early throw after he broke for either a touchdown or atleast right at the 5

Love the work mate

I learn so much from this channel about football. I only know baseball and soccer very well and I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to all these plays and stuff. Thank you for the great content.

Dude thank you so much for this video. This is beyond helpful.

Ive been playing Madden for a few years and eventually I taught myself to see the field the way you are seeing it. If I wanted to share a KZread tutorial for a beginner starting out, I would definitely share this video. You did an excellent job explaining defenses. What offensive playbook do you use? I abuse that Trey Offset - Inside Zone run all the time, its literally broken

AMAZING video! Any chance we can get this type of video but for defense?

Yes this is just what I needed! Thanks Kurt😁

You make it look so easy Kurt, but thinking about all those possible coverages and where the open spots are and who to go in what order, and to do it all in 10 seconds, that's another story. Most of this went over my head. Maybe a bit more slowly and a deeper dive?

Thank you for the tips man! I appreciate it!❤

Great video, maybe you could use instant replay to help with explanations after you play a snap. Idk if it’s available in practice!

I’ve watched 3-4 videos and you make the most sense bro💯💯💯💡💡💡

I know you’ve done some videos on using an NFL play call sheet in Madden, but what if you tried using the most Meta madden offensive and defensive pro play setups? Would be interesting to see your analysis on what MCS players do and why it works / wouldn’t work in real life compared to madden.

So cool to have an actual former QB give us this level of insight. I would love to see a video like this with a slightly deeper dive. I think it's obvious to a lot of people that Madden, partly to simplify for pleebs like me, and partially because of developer incompetence, does a poor job of simulating football IQ. I might imagine that experienced football players may struggle with Madden because what you see in terms of AI and player movement, strategy does not mirror what they see on the real field. Something of how plays are designed and call sheets put together in general, I think I"d love to see that.

thxxx great like always

I love how you interact with your fans. You’re one of my favorite to watch. But enough with the glazing lol. Honest question there’s a defense called Nickle Cover 9 Show 2. Does a defense like that screw up your pre-snap reads?
