Madden NFL 25 Tips & Tutorials Guide › Extras › New York Giants

Defense

Recommended Defensive Run Formation:

5-2 Normal

Pro Tip

  • DT Shaun Rogers has a 94 STR rating and will help with run support on the defensive line.
  • LOLB Keith Rivers has an 88 POW rating, which is best among the Giants’ linebackers.
  • MLB Dan Connor has the team’s best tackle rating for linebackers.

Run Defense Left

Setup: Shift linebackers left

Run Defense Middle

Setup: Pinch defensive line

Run Defense Right

Setup: Shift linebackers right

Recommended Defensive Pass Formation:

Nickel NASCAR

Pro Tip

  • Place CB Prince Amukamara on your opponent’s best WR.
  • Use CB Jayron Hosley to cover your opponent’s fastest WR.
  • CB Corey Webster should be your secondCB.

Man Coverage

Setup:

  • Shift defensive line left and crash out
  • Shift linebackers left
  • The defensive line shifts and crash will create a stunt that will confuse the offensive line.
  • The confusion will result in one of our pass rushers getting free after the QB.

Zone Coverage

Setup:

  • Shift defensive line left and crash out
  • Shift linebackers left
  • Blitz the SS
  • This is the same setup as the man-to-man setup, but we have changed the coverage behind the pressure.
  • This is a great play call for third and long situations.

Man Blitz

Setup:

  • Man align
  • Press coverage
  • Global blitz all linebackers
  • User-control the nickel corner over the middle of the field.
  • The safeties have a good chance of getting beaten off the press.

Zone Blitz

Setup:

  • Press coverage
  • Global blitz all linebackers
  • If you are getting beaten to the flat, place both hook zone defenders into flats.
  • When you want to blitz on third and long, place both hook zone defenders in deep zones.
  • We like to mix this setup in to confuse our opponents and throw off their timing.
