D Formations in Madden NFL 15: 5-2 vs. 3-4 Bear for Run D?

When searching for a base defense to use on 1st and 2nd down in Madden 15, is the 5-2 or the 3-4 Bear worthy?

The 3-4 Bear is the perfect formation to stop Play Action Passing on 1st and 2nd Down because the pressure will sack the QB just after the handoff fake!

The 5-2 packs 5 defensive lineman up on the line of scrimmage and makes it an intimidating front to run against. We also show you how to make it strong against outside runs.
