G'Mo's Coaching Corner

[Geronimo22]

Welcome to a discussion thread to talk all things sim and Madden football from a strategy and technique standpoint. I coached in college and in the pro's for almost 20 years. I also an a Madden player since '93. So you can say I have a passion for both. Feel free to ask questions and make requests for anything you want.

** Here is the running youtube playlist of videos that are in this thread **

Quick intro video on how the game isn't "fitting up" the lead zone plays properly if you run 4-3 Normal. I plan on doing reviews on all the coverage's next!

Cover 2 Update

I had posted a video on how the first EA patch drastically changed and fixed the footwork of safeties playing deep half coverage. However I noticed there are some inconsistencies that show up during games (in this case online vs another human). I recently played a game in which I called cover 6 and my half field safety seemed to revert back to the pre-patch footwork (pedaling inside).

I'm not sure why it happened. Was it a glitch or does EA want players to randomly have horrible technique? Anybody else notice this happening?

Re: G'Mo's Coaching Corner

I made a video explaining press technique good and bad today using video from a preseason game in real life. I'll get to the madden videos but I wanted to post this here just in case anybody was interested.

Quarters Coverage vs 2x2.

Here is the first video of the quarters coverage series. It's kind of an intro highlighting the coverage responsibilities, strengths, weaknesses, and some game issues that are showing up.

We need more breakdowns like these.

Re: G'Mo's Coaching Corner

Part 3 talking about quarters vs 3x1. It's obvious that they removed the underneath defenders matching inside breaking short routes.

Totally here for this--love this stuff! Will be chiming in w/ questions once I work through some of the videos.

Re: G'Mo's Coaching Corner

Part 4 talking quarters vs Trey and Bunch. The adjustments by the defense vs these two formations are very important to know, especially since they may be the most META offensive formations in the game.

Part 5 talking quarters vs Empty. Must watch video if you plan on staying in quarters vs empty formations. There are real issues here.

Re: G'Mo's Coaching Corner

Can you point me to some good resources for learning the C3-based match concepts as they operate in M22?

I'd like to master those first and then expand out to Quarters and the split-field coverages.

I know Ny_Kia31 used to make videos in the past. But I haven't seen anybody do a 3 match video this cycle yet. I can attack that coverage next if you like my style of explaining.

Re: G'Mo's Coaching Corner

Bonus Video on Quarters Coverage.

Someone asked a question in the youtube comment section and I answered it in this video. Basically underneath coverage is still "loose" but using players with higher awareness/play rec/man can help.

Cover 3 Match vs everything else



The rules are pretty simple vs rest of the formations.
