Best Defense..??....??

ive ran the 3-4 on about all the football games ive ever owned. run some 4-3 and 3-3-5 that was added this year too 
I run Nickel mostly... Max Cover in the Nickel is awesome, as it pretty much eliminates the short pass and the run, and as long as you have decent safeties (you do!), you're all set.
I have been running the 3-3-5 and the 4-2-5, mixed in with 3-4, 4-4, nickel, and dime. I like some plays out of each of those. But, I do like the mixture of blitz packages in the two new defensive formations...and, that they added some plays to our older formations, too.
I always run the nickel with zone and corner blitz. You can set the sack record with that plus get some decent picks.
the key is to have two good LB's with speed.

Well it all depends. I run the 4-3 thunder if they are in an ace or I formations and if they only have 2 WR's. If they try to pass out of these formations they are not going to get the pass off very much and if they get the pass off they will be on the run and the chance of the pass being caught is very slim and if they run well you have the LB's breathing down their necks. This also depends on if they run on the inside of the tackles.
Now if they are running on the out side I will come more running a 4-3 fire so the LB's go around the outside and come back inside of the back field.
Now if they are in a formation with 3 WR's I will then change to a nickle cover 3 or a Dime Cover Gold with a CB blitzing.
If they are in a 4 or 5 wide set I always go to a dime cloud most of the time.

3-4 is my base, and Thunder Green is my favorite play out of that package. I love sending four linebackers to tear down the quarterback.
still runnin my 3-4.....the past season i only gave up 14 points and two games into the next season still not scored on. ive got like 10 or 11 straight shutouts.....but im still on varsity :biggrin2:
I'm runnin' the 3-4 to utilize all of the LB's Bama has. Deciding between Roach and Wortham at MLB was too much, so I went with both. Bates, Bryant, and Clark as the DL, with Turner, Harris, and Anderson getting the relief duty. Lee got a redshirt and next year we go back to the 4-3 with Washington playing one DE, more than likely. Peprah is playing FS and Harper has SS. Carlos gets to be a special teamer, just like RL. I've tried to make it set up somewhat closer to the real thing, with a few exceptions.
4-3 or 4-2-5....i have too many good DBs that I have recruited...so I dont have much problem leaving them alone in man and blitzing the LBs and safeties
If you *really* want to set the sack record, just pick the Dime formation, and choose the play where both inside corners blitz (I think it's called Fire something) and the rest of the D is in Zone. Just control whichever DB has the clearest path to the QB (meaning the side without a RB or FB in the way). I got 103 sacks in 1 season with this method. I was defensive player of the week for the whole NCAA every single week. I won the heisman as a freshman corner. Sure, it's super-cheesy, but it's fun against the computer. No one will ever score on you, no matter the difficulty.

Oh, and on my NFL game, Kindal Morehead recorded three sacks last night for Carolina against Detroit. Go Kindal!!

3-4, 4-3
I stick to a cover 3 3-4. When in 4-3, i either run cover two or some type of blitz. When im ****ed, i run goalline, but then I usually get beat deep.

mainly depends on the offensive formation but I run primarily 4-3 and about 90% of my plays in nickel and dime carry a corner blitz
I like the 3-3-5 as the best in theory but I have had little success with it
and the only defense I've ever had success with on Madden 2004 was the 46

The 4-3 and the 4-2-5 are my favorites. I usually stick with the 4-3 against good running teams that are balanced. I've found it is best to go with the 4-2-5 against teams that have a mobile QB that can pass. Sometimes it also depends on the situation I'm in. If its 3rd and long, I may switch to a 3-4 or a dime. but if its 3 and 2, I usually go with a 4-3 or a 4-4. A 4-2-5 using a double spy is very good against a team with an extremly fast QB like Arkansas.
