Madden 15 Defensive Tips – Protect The Sticks!

Stopping your opponent on 3rd down is the key to improving your defense. By calling new “Protect The Sticks” coverage adjustment in Madden 15, your defenders will drop their zones to the first down marker. On 3rd and 17, they will get downfield and wait for the throw!

Pro Tip: Press Y, Y on Xbox or Triangle, Triangle on PS4 to put your coverage into “Protect The Sticks” mode!
