Your first choice will be selecting what types of players to put out on the field. The Goalline defense is best used in stopping short yardage running plays. However, the linebackers may be too slow to keep up if they have to cover a receiver on a pass.

This is a balanced defense and is a good selection in situations where the offense may run or pass. This defense is best used in long yardage situations where the offense is almost certain to pass. The Prevent defense is generally reserved for extremely long yardage situations, as it essentially concedes the short gain to keep the other team from breaking off a huge play. Note: Some teams may have slightly different initial defensive packages such as the 3- 4, the 46, or the Bear.

Take your favorite team into Practice Mode to see what their defensive scheme includes. Scroll through the various fronts to see your options. Think the other team will be running it up the middle? Want one of your linebackers to blitz? There are several more available. The defender will play close to the receiver coming off the line and give him a little bump to try and throw off his timing. The defender will stick with his man regardless of where he goes.

Man coverages give your defense a little more. The defender will stay in his general zone rather than stick with a specific man. Blitz a player or two if you think you know which hole the offense will run through or you want to put pressure on the QB.

The better you know your defense, the better your chance of shutting the other team down when it counts most. Press once to activate the Kick Meter.

Rather than being the one forced to walk blindly ahead by selecting your own plays , you get a hint of what personnel are about to come onto the field.

It leaves you susceptible on the side where the blitz came from because there is one less person to cover the pass, or if your defender misses a tackle.

If any player comes near to the zone, your defender will cover them like a receiver, or attempt a tackle. Zone plays are excellent for teams that are underskilled, or do not have great defenders. However, it leaves gaping holes in the field, and you can get burned if your opponent calls the right play. These are great since your defender sticks with them for most of the run. However, skilled offensive leaders can break free with better physical skills and burn your defense like an Ego-Waffle.

Use these plays if you have skilled playmakers. Your two back safeties will drop to cover the outer WR lanes, leaving the LBs to drop back into middle zone.
