How To Flip Defensive Coverage

Sep 15, 2011

Play Insight: This is one of the best man beaters in Madden 2012. In this play, we take advantage of a specific route to flip cornerbacks across the field.

Madden 12 First A Gap Nano

Sep 9, 2011

Play Insight: This play is very unique for a few reasons.  First off you must have your play flipped before you come out to the LOS, while your OLB’s are standing up.  Next, you must make sure to place your defenders that don’t influence the blitz into zone coverages.  For some reason if you send more than five defenders the offensive line then...
