Need help attacking Zone Coverages!!!!

I have noticed the more elite players usually have there DB's in some type of zone coverages. Madden-School ballers give me specific routes that can beat or move the ball against zone coverages. Seam routes, skinny posts, etc etc. ALso specific offensive formations will be nice.

Most elite madden players are going to cover the middle of the field cause its easy to throw the middle post on this versions game and they are going to cover the RB out the backfield so that leaves short slants and posts to the sidelines, I use short slants for first downs and posts to the sidelines for a big chunk of yards, my advise is to put your no.1 WR in the slot that way they will have to decide whether to cover the middle post or sideline post "MOST WILL COVER MIDDLE POST CAUSE YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE" so you can burn them with the sideline post, note: when you throw the sideline post make sure you press over real hard and rocket the ball, that way the reciever will catch the ball tapping his feet going out of bounds and the DB cant knock the ball down or pick it off its a guarenteed 15-20 yards if you read the defense correctly

Appreciate that MaddenKing 57!! Im gonna lab this today!!

well the first step in seeing the coverage...dont stand in the pocket and wait for a wr u picked out to be open...know your plays know your routes...the second thing is to kno if the corner is goning to be the safety or if he is covering the flats not this is key caus in cover 2 u can attack the sideline with the fade route right under the safety and over the corner...cover 3 is a little bit mor tricky caus the post to the middle it covered so u gotta identify which safety is playing short which is usually always the strong safety and throw a slat to the left wr right before the linebacker gets over there or way until he clears him...also the #1 zone killing route i my opinion is the hitch route either in the middle or outside...be patient and wait for the corner to back off in cover 3 and in cover 2 wait for the lb to clear usually after a 5 step drop...try those.

nice post im gunna try that

run the ball up there friggin throats then after that they will have to call more man zone blitzs to stop u then u can pass or get the big PA gain. it works just run it down their throats and capitalize on turnovers u will win most games. get a few money pass plays to killem with if it goes shootout

Post
Slant hook
1 Yard stop
fade

These routes will beat zone coverage

take the time to read defenses alot of ppl make that mistake of not reading defenses . but post quick slants and a well time pass to a fade route can also produce good yardage but u also need to see what kind of zone they r in. thats when a good run game comes in handy.

Streak and c-route combo
Streak and Fade combo
Trips bunch set - Corner, streak, curl combo

it just comes down to executing the reads

trips or bunch formations with the strong side recievers all running drag routes.its called flooding the zone.good for 5 yards every time.like the guy said earlier...run right at it.also...screen plays will tear up zone.

Ya man main thing is to read the d.. If they running zone a lot hit em with some screens once in a while

delayed routes (blue), slants, curls and screens...DESTROYS zones!
