I Think the 3-4 Is the Best Defense to Use.

[ADW]

I like all of the multiple looks I can create with the 3-4. It's a tough defense to figure out, especially if you know what you're doing. Most human opponents aren't used to seeing the 3-4 on a consistent basis. The 3-3 Nickel and 3-2 Dime are also favorites of mine. You can really do so many things with these defenses. I enjoy bringing linebackers and defensive backs on blitzes, slanting the d-line, zone blitzes, dropping 8 men into coverage etc. The thing that I like is that while they are similar the team playbooks that have the 3-4 each has their own specific plays. The playbooks to look for are the Texans, Steelers, Ravens, Falcons, and Patriots. The Patriots defensive playbook has some of everything in it. The downer though is that you have to play with that teams offensive playbook. This is one of my few small complaints on an otherwise solid game.
