Blitzing Tutorial

.) How to Blitz
To Blitz you simply overload the OL. To do this you send more people to a gap than they have to defend.
To do this you must understand something, the idea of a 1-gap vs. 2-gap defense. In a 1-gap defense each DL is responsible for 1 gap where as in a 2-gap system a DL is responsible for 2 gaps. For instance in a 3-4 the NT must force a double team with a C and a G. The problem is that there is suction blocking in madden. This means double teams aren’t possible. So, 2-gap systems are at a distinct disadvantage.
To overcome this it is best to blitz from the outside, or to pinch the line to blitz the inside (in other words make a 2-gap system a 1-gap system).
There also are random blitzing angles meaning you don’t have control over exactly where your blitzer goes. So, every blitz has some random factor, but all of these should be 75% or so consistent.
Lastly, the idea behind the “any play” blitzes is that you use this setup for every down with these formations so you don’t tip your hand.
Now I will give my blitzes for each formation I use.

!NOTE!
For these Blitzes I have borrowed others ideas and modified them for myself. If one of these is yours and you want it gone say so. Reversely if you want to add a blitz just say so. However, I went to a great length to make sure these work. So, if I your blitz doesn’t work, I wont add it.

wow nice work first of all...and i have a question...are these plays or jus adjustment types to put for any play to make it more effective?

A man these blitzes are from calvin and hobbes guide to defense in madden guru site I wonder does he know that you are doing this I do not usually talk to younger men this way but this is ridiculous do not copy I sure hope that his advice is not A COPYWRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

wow junior....just wow man

My question is the post is nice but where are the 3-4 defense blitz package in this thread. It seem you have shown love to every defense but the 3-4. So if you are going to come out and say lets go to school the 3-4 should be add. Just a thought but thanks for the post im out alc

1st off lil senior u are a madden guru bum. Stop stealing what they have and posting it on this site or other sites that u visit. U know this stuff ain't your's to begin with. As for Brad219 yeah u beat him but I made u DC yourself when I started to get busy on your azz ranked or unranked you really don't want it. And that's without blitzing U defensive play stealing bum. U know where to find me so GET AT ME U ASS KISSER!!! When everybody find out you a fake. Your outta here CUZ!!!

Nice post but, you are misinformed on certain things. Even though you are right about 95% correct.

Yes, it is true that 2 GAP defenders must try to occupy 2 GAPS in order to free the linebackers to make plays. And also it is true that 1 GAP defenders are responsible for a GAP.

But where you fail to explain to us is on how and why? It usually depends on where the Defensive lineman lines up on the line of scrimmage, wether they are lined up/shading on an Offensive lineman's shoulder (Inside or Outside) or Head up. These are called techniques. Usually, these techniques, along with the rest of the front (43 NORMAL.OVER etc..) dictate how the defensive front will attack and defend the offensive formation.

Another thing, 2 GAP Defensive Linemen are much bigger and more powerful than 1 GAP Defensive Linemen. 2 GAP Linemen are required to stand up an offensive lineman or 2 without, penetration. They act like walls. What they actually do is stand up the offensive lineman and then try to force a lineman, into either gap next to him, depending on the flow of the play. The double team effect that they receive is because of their size and strength.

Now 1 GAP defenders are much smaller and quicker than 2 GAP defenders. A 1 GAP style defende is an attack style defennse. Every defensive lineman shoots thru a GAP, attacking it and taking on anything that comes thru that GAP. Any GAPS left open are then are responsibilities of the Backers and/or safeties.

And YES, we can apply it Madden in this years game:

Simulating 2 GAP: Re blitz a lineman. Or look for play diagrams where the D-Lineman is rushing straight down.

What the D-lineman is actually doing is, Standing up the O-Lineman, and breaking contact either left or right (2 GAPS), depending on where the ball is.

Ratings for these players: STR, Power Move Rating, Bull Rush Weapon.

Simulating 1 GAP: Crash the line Or look for play diagrams where D- lineman is rushing either at an Angle or towards a O-Lineman's Shoulder.

What they are actually doing is attempting to attack a GAP By attacking a lineman's shoulder.

Ratings for these players: ACC, SPD, AGL, Finnesse move rating and Finnesse move weapon.

1st of all u ps2 playin bum u need 2 update ya system 2 ps3 cuz dats where im at now yungin get ya cake up den holla at me cuz im not downgradin 2 bust ya ass cuz u trash anyway and if its ******* tell me where ya boi lloyd get all his tips from u bum hahaha and i lost connection and i told u at da beginning of da game my connection was fucked up but u must be dumb 2 remember and how bout u take ya nutt azz back 2 lloyd slow azz site u bum

nice add Gator... Would like to also add that, I find it difficult to employ true gap play in madden, but you can definitely make a go of it. Not only does the DL need to appropriate skill sets to employ 1 or 2 gap techniques but (in the case of 1 gap) LB's awareness must above average. If not look out. You'll find running backs running through gaps where Backer are supposed to be.

My question is why is this being ran every time a new madden comes out it plan to see that the guys dosnt know how to do this stuff on his own and that makes him a cheater. Stop wasting everone time and move on to something else and stop rerun this garbage to us who play on the PS2.That space could have been used for something like a good nano or good blitz man this is weak im out alc

huh?

lets play kc killa
