For those of you who are new to the madden franchise, I want to go over something that will help you in madden nfl 12 as well as all future madden games.

Today, we will be breaking down how you can tell if your opponent is in a man to man defense, a cover 2 zone defense, or a cover 3 zone defense (These 3 types of defenses account for 90% of the plays in madden).

This means that each defender is responsible for covering 1 receiver. Any extra defenders are usually blitzing or in a deep zone
