Madden Mobile Defensive Strategy Thread

Defensive Strategy is back!  Having a good defensive strategy - one that is best suited to the strong points of your team can help in Head 2 Head matches, League vs League as well as help you pick the better defensive plays in Season Mode. While some of the pictures will be from previous versions of madden, the basics of defense remain the same.

This will be updated if it changes in new season, but currently there are two choices in your defense. You can set a defensive strategy or let the AI choose for you. Most people who play in leagues competitively have a defensive strategy. There are only 3 drives and 1 point can determine a win. The defensive AI can take a while to adjust to the plays being run, as well as most players typically have a few go-to plays – you can find this out by looking at the plays they consistently run on 3rd / 4th and long.  So having defensive plays to counter them can help you gain the edge to win. As well as that in H2H ties are determined by whoever scores the fastest. If your defensive strategy causes a player to take longer to score, then it benefits you.

Quote from jawabomb >> Hey BA11. Just noticed that your labeling of the safeties, OLBs, and DEs are flipped. This was correct for MM18 and earlier, but was changed last year. The strong side players are on the left side of the lineup now and the weak side is on the right.

 Thanks, Ill fix it in a bit.     Quote from Proky11 >>
