4-3 or 3-4

Which one do you prefer and feels like it gives you a better rush.

I don't care which defenses have better nano's.

Personally I like a 3-4 because it gives you faster players on the field to stop a run or pass. You also blitz each time and still have enough players to bring back into coverage, making a pass rush harder to defend.

Honestly it depends with each team, but I prefer the 3-4.

If Im using the Seahawks im using a 4-3 though

I've only used the 3-4 this year. Absolutely love it

I feel that 3-4 OLBs are better pass rushers then most DE's but the DE's have the better run stopping traits (whole point of 3-4 vs 4-3) As a Texans fan, I prefer the 3-4, but I mainly use the nickel and sub packages, cause I dont like using a NT on the field, just looses a DB that can be playing the pass.

It really depends on the players you've got or are targeting. I prefer rolling with a 4-3. If you have good DE's and maybe one solid DT you can get pressure without rushing your linebackers all the time. I generally look for fast LB'ers who can cover guys.

I like both but I am more interested in the hybrid D. A 3-4 where either or both outside linebacker slides into a three point stance and creates a 4-3. You have for all intensive purposes a versatile 5-2 with either outside backer capable of fulfilling some linebacker roles. Its just so versatile and easy to mix up blitzes (1 or 2 blitzers esp)

Against the CPU it doesnt matter what base set you use. If they cpu runs the ball, the runner bounces off his own man and the defense cleans up lol.

Online against a human, I would be more concerned with the best Sub-set formations. Guys dont run as much this year, because pass defense is super broke so why run?
