4-2-5 vs. 3-3-5 Playbooks

Which one is better? What personnel should you have for each? I'm talking about using either for ranked on-line play. What are the best plays from each?

how would you get the 4-2-5 in madden anyways?

This is NCAA defensive stragety not Madden

best play in 4-2-5? one of my personal fav's is spy 2 zone, or max zone i usually leave the personel alone

Do you think 4-2-5 is a better book for on-line play? I usually roll with teams with fast DE's or just use the LB ends formation sub. I've been debating between 3-3-5 and 4-2-5. I can create pressure with 3-3-5, but I hear that 4-2-5 is not as risky when it comes to blitzes since you usually have to blitz like crazy to get pressure with the 3-3-5.

I like the Cover 0 plays out of 3-3-5 a lot and zone blitzes like Storm red, but the cover 0 plays make me paranoid if I go up against a good passer. Works wonders against run heavy guys though.

yea the 4-2-5 is the best defense to take online imo.

the 335 is a great coverage defense and the 425 just simply brings the pain! great defense!

Really? I've been more worried about pass coverage out of 3-3-5 playbook than a 4 man set because it's a 3 man rush with pass coverage. When I go up against pass happy guys who are good at it I tend to get crushed with the 3-3-5 but do great against the run. With 4-2-5 I suck against the run but a lot better at the pass.

yea the 4-2-5 is where its at and besides the 4-2-5 defense has the 3-3-5 in it so you should have no issue with it

what formations does each have
'
I been using multi d because of 46 and 155 formations

I just got into playing it yesterday.

I had it for a while

4-2-5: 4-2-5 Normal, 4-2-5 Over, 4-2-5 Under, 4-2-5 Bear, 4-4 Split, 5-2 Normal, Nickel Normal, Nickel 3-3-5, Nickel Strong, Dime Normal, Dime 3-2-6, Quarter 3 Deep, Goal Line

3-3-5: 3-3-5 Stack, 3-3-5 Across, 3-3-5 Split, 3-3-5 Bear, 3-4 Under, 5-2 Normal, Nickel Normal, Nickel 3-3-5, Nickel 2-4-5, Dime Normal, Dime 3-2-6, Quarter 3 Deep, Goal Line

If you have a solid front four go with 4-2-5. If you have Sick DE's go 4-2-5. If your strength is your front 3 LB's go with 3-3-5. 3-3-5's strength is based on the ability of the MLB and FS. You can also afford to be a bit more conservative with 4-2-5.

I use texas
which one would be better?

You have Kendle who is a beast at DE I would say probably 4-2-5.
