26 Tips & Tricks You NEED To Know in College Football 26

0:00 In this video, I'm going to be going over the 26 best tips and tricks you need to start winning more games in College Football 26. Starting with number one, take your underneath routes. They are really good in this year's game. So, let me show you what I'm talking about. Whether they're in zone, whether they're in man, things like drag routes are always going to be a really nice go-to because zone drifts too far back and it leaves them wide open. Basically, what you want is you want some deeper routes that are going to pull those zones back and then that way your drags can be underneath and you could catch them and get up field for some easy yards. But don't worry, I'm going to tell you how to stop these later in the video, but most players will not adjust their defense to do this, so you should take advantage. Another good underneath route are going to be flat routes to your running back. You can pick up some easy yards underneath, get four to five, and this helps move the chains. And with the way

0:45 block shed is in this game, you just want to make sure that you're getting these quick passes off. You do not want to be holding the ball too long because that's where you give up sacks. Look at this replay for example. Notice how the blocks were starting to shed almost instantly. If I didn't take my quick underneath route, this would have easily been a sack or I would have been hit as I was throwing and that could have led to an interception. And another good thing about underneath routes like drags, especially in a mesh concept right here where you have two of them going in opposite directions, is that these can be really good man beaters because they set up a natural pick which helps these routes get open. So, make sure you're using underneath routes like drags and halfback routes to move the ball. Number two, make sure to manage your wear and tear. As wear and tear builds up throughout the game, your players will become injuryprone and their ratings will also drop. So, a few key things you could do to do this. For

1:31 number one, with your QB, try to take as least hits as possible. So, if you're scrambling, you make sure to slide by pressing the X or square button. Also, try to get out of bounds with your running back when possible instead of taking those hits. And you can also manage your wear and tear in the middle of the game by pressing up on the D-pad before you snap the ball. It'll pull up a submen which will tell you your player's current ratings if they have any wear and tear damage on a body part. And you could sub them in and out just like this to keep them rotated and keep them fresh. Number three, how to utilize speed options. So in your playbook, you want to tab over to concept, you want to go down to option, and then you want to tab over to speed options. Pretty much every playbook should have at least one of these. Now, the great thing about speed options are they're an easy way to move the ball, and the average person just does not know how to stop them. But

2:17 I will tell you how you could stop it in a little bit. Basically, all you want to do is just read how the defense is playing you. Typically, they're going to clamp down on the QB. So, you're going to want to hold the LB or L1 button down, and it's going to do a strong pitch to your running back. This is going to be hard to stop if they're not manually going out there to defend the running back or if they're not using coaching adjustments to help stop it. So, this is something I recommend mixing in to pick up easy yardage, especially in big situations where you need to pick up some key first downs. Now, in the event that they do defend the running back, you just want to keep it with the QB and pick up yards that way. Number four, important settings you need to have turned on. So, you can go to your game settings on the main menu. And two very important ones you always want to make sure you have turned on are defensive ball hawk. This is going to help you get more interceptions and defensive heat seeker assist. This is usually off by default. Make sure you

3:03 turn it on and make sure you put your heat seeker window size up to 200%. This will greatly help assist you in making tackles and this game can be very hard to make open field tackles in. So, you want to make sure this is turned on. Hey, if you're getting value out of this video, why don't you go ahead subscribe, turn the bell icon on.

It helps the channel out a lot and you can always unsub at any time if you get tired of the videos. Number five, important coaching adjustments. When you're at the play call screen on defense, you want to press the right stick in and that's going to pull up your coaching adjustments. Now, they do have offensive coaching adjustments as well, but those aren't nearly as important as your defensive ones. You want to make sure auto flip defensive play call is on. You want to make sure your quarterback matchups are on balance, otherwise they could glitch out. That's something they should fix soon, though. But the main ones I want

3:49 to talk about are these keys right here. These are the ones you must set every single game. So, option read key. You need this on conservative, otherwise you're going to get beat by easy read options. So, I'm going to put this back on balanced, and let me show you what happens. If I leave that read option setting on balanced, and my opponent goes to run a read option, a lot of the time, he's going to have the quarterback wide open for easy yards for big gains. Whereas, now I'm going to put it on conservative. And you'll see if I try to pull the ball with the QB, I'm going to lose yards every time. Now, for your option pitch key, you want this set to aggressive. Remember just a minute ago when I was showing you how easy it was to run speed options? as well. If you set this to aggressive now, when you try to run the option, if you pitch it to the running back, the defender is going to play that much more aggressively and you'll lose yards. And for your RPO keys, you want to make sure that the

4:36 read key is set to conservative and the pass key is set to conservative. This is going to help you better defend RPO read play. So, if they try to run a read option, the RPO read key on conservative will hit the quarterback in the back field. And if they try to throw flats or bubble screens, this RPO pass key set to conservative will better help you defend that as well. It won't be 100% of the time, but it's going to be your best bet. All of your other coaching adjustments are completely situational, and I would leave them at default, but that brings us to number six, safety adjustments. These can be useful in certain situations. My favorite time to use these adjustments are versus players that like to run the ball a lot. So, what I will do versus a heavy runner is I will put my safety depth on close and I will put my safety width on pinch. Now, I'm only doing this typically if I'm expecting the run. Otherwise, I want

5:22 to make sure these are back on default cuz they will defend the pass better that way. But let's look at close and let's look at pinch versus the run. Now, when defending the run, typically I want to pick any type of a cover four play. So, it can be cover four quarters, cover four drop, cover four palms, it doesn't matter, but cover four by default is going to be a good run defense, but also it can defend against the pass if they were to hit us with a pass play instead. Now, the other key to remember here when you're coming out with this cover four is you want to shade your defense down every time, which is Y or triangle, and then down on the right stick. But notice where my safeties are. Notice how they're lined up in tight and they're pretty close. If this was standard settings, they would kind of be further back like this, and that would just have them a lot further out of the play. But because we have them on the close and

6:08 the tight or pinch, they're going to be in close like this. And that is going to help us greatly with defending the run because they are in run fits. That means they're going to get down there and take up blockers. But with them being closer in the box like this, it just really makes it hard for running lanes to open up. Hey, really quickly, I did want to mention that I do offer a membership where I post all of my ebooks and my highest level offensive and defensive strategies. I've got a ton of content up already and you can get a free trial for a week at no cost to you. Link is in the pin comment below. Number seven, understanding match coverage. This is something that most people do not know about and then they get confused while their defense seems to be glitching out. So you'll notice when you scroll through your plays in your playbook, there are little tags on the bottom left corner. So right here, for example, we could see the cover nine show two. If we look in

6:55 the bottom left corner, there's a little purple tag that says match. Now right here, we could see the middle play cover three cloud that says zone. So, why this is important is because anytime something says match, even though it looks like a zone coverage, for example, here, cover four quarters on the right or cover three match on the left, they both say match. That means even though this looks like zone, there are matching principles, which means those deep zones are going to match up and play man at some point during the play based on the formation and the routes. So, you need to make sure if you want your players to play zone, you're not calling cover three match or cover four quarters, for example. Instead, you would want to call a cover three sky. Here on the left, see how that says zone? That means they're going to play zone and they're not going to move out of that assignment. Right

7:41 here, we see cover four drop field. That is a zone cover four, meaning they're going to stay in those zones. However, there are other ways you can make them play zones. So, for example, if I call cover four quarters, there's something I could do on the field to take away the matching principle and have them just play zone. I could either shade my defense down, which is Y, or triangle down on the right stick, which I like to do in a lot of my cover fours and cover threes anyway because I think the hard flats are better than the cloud flats. Or I could shade them up if I don't want them playing aggressively underneath. I could go Y or triangle and then up on the right stick. Doing either of those things will cancel the matching principles and that means everybody will play straight zone defense. And another very important note to consider with match coverage is if you're running a cover three blitz like this play here in

8:28 the middle, the overload three seam, it says blitz in the bottom left hand corner there because it is a blitz. But do keep in mind typically when you're running a zone blitz, the coverage behind the zone blitz, especially in cover threes, are going to play match. So once again, if you want to cancel that, shade your defense down or up. If you still want to run the blitz, but you want them playing standard cover three style coverage. Number eight, utilize zig route. So this play right here in the bottom left corner, dig return. The B receiver here is on a Zig route. These are very good because they typically beat man the majority of the time and they do a good job at finding holes against zone. So this is a route you're going to want to be utilizing a lot in this game. Against zone, you're usually going to have windows like this where you can pick up five easy yards. And against man

9:14 coverage, especially if you have a good receiver, these are going to do a really good job at beating the man defender and you can catch them and run for big yards. But the good thing about this route is you can hot route it as well. So you can press Y or triangle, select the receiver icon, and then on the D-pad you will see a zig option. Typically, I like to do this for a inside receiver because it usually creates the better spacing that way. So whether it's man or zone, a lot of times this is going to be something you can quickly throw and you should incorporate these on as many plays as possible. Number nine, how to stop corner routes. This can be a pain for a lot of people. Basically, you'll see bunch sets like this where people want to send a streak, a corner, and a flat, which is a good flood concept versus zone coverages. But if you don't make any adjustments, well, the corner is going to get open for big yards. And honestly, most of the time it should because you're flooding the zone. Now, to stop this, what you want to do is you

10:00 want to open your coaching adjustments on defense by clicking the right stick. And you want to go down to your zone drops. Now, remember I said these are situational. You're only going to turn these on in a situation like this where you're trying to stop something specific. So, you've got a couple options here. You can set your zone drop flats to 25 yards. And then what you would want to do is call a Tampa 2 or a cover two style defense. So, now you can see your light blue curl flats on the outside. Look how they are dropping far back. So now if I try to hit this same corner route, as you see the DB is back there to make a play on the ball. Now, of course, this will leave your flat open, but you're giving up the deeper route in order to give up the shorter route. You'd rather give that up than to give up 20 plus yards. But if you want to mitigate that flat route, you could simply take this guy here on the outside

10:47 and you can drop him into a curl flat. So you would press A or X and then go right on the left stick. That's going to put him in a curl flat, which will still allow you to get some yards in the flat, but you could see it's a lot less. So now you've taken away both options. Number 10, utilize running back routes. This is one of the best ways to move the ball. Now a couple options here are putting your running back on a Texas route, which you do by pressing Y or triangle, select this icon, and then up on the D-pad. This is a great route because it beats man, but it also gets underneath zone. So if they're not playing aggressive with their zones, which most people don't, this is just an easy pitch and catch underneath for easy yards. And again, against some man coverage, he is going to beat the man defender pretty much every time for easy yards. Another great option is the triple option route. This is going to be the best of both worlds, too. Because

11:33 against most zones, what it's going to do is it's just going to spot up underneath like this, and the deep routes will pull the other zones back, and it's easy yards as a checkdown. But against a man defense, what it's going to do is it's going to release in or out, and that's going to also do a good job at beating man coverage. So, you want to utilize these two running back routes to help you move the ball. Number 11, use custom route stems. There's a couple ways to use these that are very, very good. So, number one, we're going to go back to that streak corner flat concept that we just talked about when I showed you how to stop it. A better way to run this is to actually use route stemming. So, you can stem your corner route down, which will help it get to a spot on the field quicker and make it a little bit harder to defend. So, to do this, you press the Y or triangle button. You select the player's icon, which in our case is RB, and then to

12:20 route stem, you have to hold down the LB or L1 button, and then you can move the left stick up or down to stem this route wherever you want. Now, what we want to do with the corners is stem them all the way down. This is going to make them break to the outside much quicker, and this really puts them in a spot on the field. Sometimes it can be tough to defend. Play around with stemming them down and find that sweet spot where you like it because usually when you stem these corner routes shorter, it just makes them really, really hard to defend. Another great way to utilize this is with slot post routes. Now, the good thing about the corners and the post is that you can hot route both of these. So, what you want to do is hot route them if they're not already in your play. And then again, you want to stem the post all the way down. And this is a really good concept here where if you're in a bunch set like this, for example, on your outside, you could have like a streak and then you have a drag

13:05 underneath and then a stemmed post over top. And this creates a really good flood concept that can beat pretty much any zone in the game for big yards. But a stim down post also does a really good job at torching man coverage as well. So you want to utilize both of these in your offense. Number 12, go for swats in one-on-one situations. This year the one-on-one ball is a lot better and you can get some crazy catches. So what you want to do is go for the swat. Notice right there how we got mossed. And that's just going to happen in this year's game. That is an intentional change. So what you want to do is click on you want to get in position and go for a swat. So, when you see somebody going for that 10150 shot, click on click the X button on Xbox or the square button on PlayStation, you've got a much better chance at breaking the pass up with the SWAT this year versus going for

13:51 the pick, which will have them catching that 50/50 ball a good amount of the time. Number 13, shading your defense. When you're on the field, you can press Y or triangle, and then on the right stick, you have the ability to shade over top, underneath, inside, or outside. But my favorite time to use this is when I'm trying to stop those underneath routes that I talked about earlier, like drags or flats. Typically, I'm going to want to do this out of a cover three or cover four style defense because it still gives me deep zones to protect deep. However, you can do this out of a cover two as well. It's just going to be a lot more aggressive. Now, right here, I'm going to play standard coverage and show you just like I did earlier. If we play standard, you can hit these drags underneath and you can catch and run for big yards. But now, I'm going to shade underneath. And you'll notice it'll even put hard flats on the field to show you that you have shaded underneath. Your two hook curls

14:37 in the middle right here will also play a little bit more aggressive as well. And now if I try to throw this drag route, notice how the defense is there and they clamp down on it and force a breakup. Number 14, covered shells. This right here can take your defense to another level. So when you open up a formation, so for example, we're going to open up the nickel over. When you have it open on the right stick, there's an option. You can see it all the way to the right. it says shell and you can flick the right stick up or down and you can change your covered shell. Now, what this means is whatever you set it to, that's how your defense is going to line up. So, to me, the best one to use is cover two. You set this to cover two and no matter what defense you call, they will line up as if they're in a cover two every time. So, even if I call a cover three sky right here, you will see

15:22 we have two high safeties and the outside cornerbacks are lined up five yards off the wide receivers. Why this is good is because if you are lining up the same way every play, it makes it hard for a better player to diagnose exactly what coverage you're in because this looks like a cover two, but we're actually in a cover three. Number 15, quick sliding. This is a new mechanic in the game for your offensive line. Typically, to do a offensive line slide, you would have to hit LB or L1. And then you do have a bunch of options here that you can do, but this takes a little bit longer and sometimes you need to make a quick adjustment at the last second. Well, if I want to slide right or left, I can do that quickly now with my quick slide. So, for example, if I saw them just kind of loading up everything to this side right here, and I'm thinking, hm, maybe they're rushing off that edge

16:07 for some reason, I might want to slide my line to the right because clearly they're loading up heavier there. So, I could do a half slide by just flicking the right analog stick to the right once. And you'll see now the line's in a half slide. If I want to do a full slide, I flick the right stick to the right twice really quickly. Now, we're in a full slide. And again, if I want to go left, same way. Once to the left is a half slide. Twice to the left is a full slide. So here, I'm going to slide to the right. And I am going to just make sure that I pick up any pressure that's coming there. And now I can deliver a pass. Make sure to use this if you're going to be slide protecting because it's much quicker to do it this way. Number 16, how to create a flat route. So in this year's game, there is no way to hot route a flat anymore because they changed up some of the hot route

16:52 options. However, when you have a tight end that is lined up in tight, you can hot route him to a wheel route this year by pulling up your hot routes and then selecting the wheel option. So, we can see that's left on the D-pad. But what this does is before he goes up the field on a wheel, he basically runs a flat route. So, this kind of gives us two routes in one. He can go up the field later in the play, but if we hit him early in the play, we've now created a flat route in a game where they don't have dedicated flat routes. So, if you're trying to create a flat route out of a formation this year, utilize the tight end wheel. That will give you a decent option to create a flat route that you can use to pick up some good yards underneath. Number 17, don't spam the right trigger. I talk about this every single year, but it's very important. When running the ball, especially, you do not want to hold the right trigger behind the line of

17:39 scrimmage. A lot of people do this and then they wonder, why are they not running the ball successfully? And that's because when you hold right trigger, you get to spots quicker than you're supposed to. And also it does trigger faster block sheds like this. So you always want to just be maneuvering with the left stick and get into the open hole. You only want to utilize the right trigger when you're in the open field. Like right here now I'm in the open field. I'm trying to pull away for as many yards as possible. This is also important for your QB in the pocket. Sometimes people start to hold down the right trigger when they're in the pocket cuz honestly it is just a force of habit and this causes quicker block sheds. You only want to be holding down that right trigger once you're definitely taking off with the QB. But when you're standing in the pocket, make sure your finger is off of that button. Otherwise, that's going to cause quicker block shedding as well. Number 18, Dline

18:27 stunts. This is a new feature to this game, and they're actually pretty useful. Typically, you're going to want to do it with a four down lineman set like this where you have the four down lineman rushing. So, to pull up your stunts, you can press left on the D-pad, then press the RB or R1 button, and then you'll have a few different options here. Now, two that are really good are going to be the right text to man, which typically is on the second page, but it can be different depending on your team and formation, but look for right text to man. Go into practice mode with the team that you use and see where this is so you can learn how to set this up quicker. And what this does is it's going to loop the outside guy on the right. Now, it's not going to come in every time, but without protection, like from a running back or something, he's usually going to loop in the middle. And even if he doesn't come free, it's going to help block sheds happen quicker. Here's an example of what it looks like

19:12 when it comes through clean and this will happen a decent amount of the time. Another good stunt option is going to be the Texas fourman. Again, go in your playbook in practice mode and figure out where it is so it's easy for you to get to. This is going to be more aggressive with both outside guys looping in. And again, sometimes you're just going to come free. This does work better in game than in practice mode, but also it's still going to rush them inside, which is going to make it hard for QBs to step up into the pocket. And it's going to be hard to run on this as well. As you can see, they're stunning to the inside. And just look at the block shed. how quick it happens. Even if they don't come free, they still help get other guys free. Number 19, utilize RPOS's. So, in your playbook, you want to go to concept, you want to go to option, and you want to look at RPO read. These are going to be some of the best ones in the game. And what you want to look for are ones like RPO read Y flat that has a

19:59 tight end going on a flat or one that has some type of a bubble screen of sorts. Usually, you're going to want to find a bubble screen like here, the RPO read bubble that has multiple blockers. Both of these are going to be really good options because unless you know exactly what you're doing, the average person is not going to be able to defend these plays because you can hand it off to the running back. But the real great thing about these plays is the ability to throw these bubbles or flat routes. Now, let's take a look at the RPO read Y flat. This one's going to be the best one in the game. A lot of people like to use this play because it simply is hard to stop. You have the element of running the ball, but a lot of times the defense is not going to defend these flats or these bubble screens. Now, to defend this, you want to typically man somebody up on the route that you think is going out. But like I said, it could be the tight end, sometimes it can be the slot,

20:46 but typically if you do that, as long as that guy doesn't get blocked, he should get out there and at least make a play on the ball. So, that is something to be mindful of. Number 20, how to score when you're close to the end zone. Now, of course, you can run the ball, you could use RPOS's, use speed options. We've talked about all of those, but sometimes you need to pull out a pass. So, a triedand-rue method is you want to do something like this. You want the outside receiver here, the X receiver on some type of a curl and then you do want to route stem him down, which we've talked about earlier. You want to route stem him down to where he's more of a hitch route. Then you want some type of a slant coming from the other side of the field. So, right here, the tight end on a slant working with the X hitch. Now, for this, you know, I just block the running back or just get him out of the way. And against zone coverage, the majority of the time, what's going to happen is you're going to have a window

21:32 to hit this slant just like this. So, you want to be on the short side of the field, and that's going to do a good job the majority of the time beating zone defense close to the end zone for crucial touchdowns. Number 21, how to stop the QB sneak. The QB sneak can be annoying because it's almost guaranteed to get the yards you need on a third and inches or a third and one. What you want to do is go to goal line. You want to go over to the goal line 53 and you want to select goal line man. This will probably work out of any of the plays, honestly. But I think gold line man is the best option. What you want to do is pinch your D line, which is left on the D-pad, down on the left stick. And then you want to also crash them down. Left on the D-pad, down on the right stick. This right here, also you can get here with your user just to help out. This should blow up the QB sneak the majority of the time. Number 22, manage your depth

22:20 chart. So at the main menu, you want to go to rosters. You want to click on order depth chart. You can do this here and it'll stay set like this for when you jump into online games. Now, why this is crucial is cuz a lot of teams have guys that are lower on the depth chart that have a lot of speed and sometimes even have good abilities. So, LSU, for example, they have a wide receiver with 98 speed. Now, in video games, speed is going to be one of your best attributes. It's not everything, but it does help a lot. So, you may want to have him as one of your starting receivers because if a guy's that fast, you want to get him on the field. Now, here with Alabama, there's a really good example. If you scroll down to the fourth receiver spot, you have a 95 speed guy that also has platinum shifty, one of the best abilities in the game. This means with the left stick, he is going to stop and cut on a dime and he is going to be hard to tackle. Pair that

23:06 with 95 speed, you definitely want him starting over Isaiah Horton. Yes, I realize that he's eight overall better, but 95 speed plus platinum shifty is so much better than 89 speed and the abilities he has. You want this guy on your field. Number 23, abilities. We just talked about this, so let's go more in depth about this. Abilities are just as important as ratings in this game. So, for example, if we're looking at QBs, Garrett Nusmire here, he has platinum on time and silver dot. You want to notice this for QBs. Things like on time and DOT are going to prevent from inaccurate passes. If you don't have these abilities, you're going to have a lot more inaccurate passes. So, you might want to make sure you're using a quarterback that has those. For running backs, you want to look at things like shifty, sideep, and 360. Those are going

23:53 to help you with faking out defenders. For wide receivers, Shifty and Takeoff are going to be some of the best ones in the game. With takeoff, it's hard to press a guy or play him one-on-one, especially if he's fast. And Shifty just helps you make moves in the open field. When it comes to pass rushers, you're going to want to look for guys that have things like quick jump, duress, and pocket disruptor. Those are going to help you on the defensive line. So, you may have a guy like we just talked about previously. He could be lower on the depth chart. He might be worse overall than the starter, but he might have quick jump, which means he'll actually rush the passer maybe a little bit better than that starter will. When you're looking at quarterbacks, things like jammer and blanket coverage are going to make them lock down in man. That's why LSU is so good with man coverage cuz they have two guys that have blanket coverage and jammer. Number 24, how to deal with stadium pulse. Now,

24:38 stadium pulse is more turned up this year than ever. It's hard to hot route. It's hard to audible and things like that when the pulse is going. So, in order to quiet this down, if you're on the road, you want to use things that don't require hot routes. You want to use some of the stuff we talked about, like RPL reads, for example. These are good plays that are hard to defend. And you can see on the first play, we're picking up easy yards. Now, on the next play here, the pulse is still rocking. It's a short yardage situation. Let's hand the ball off. This doesn't require any extra work. Let's hand it off. Read our blocks. Don't spam the turbo button. And you see we got good yards. It's LSU, so the pulse is still rocking. Some stadiums are not going to be as hard to deal with, but LSU is the number one in the game, so it's going to be tough. Now, we're going speed option. So, basically, we're running plays that give us a chance to pick up easy yards, but we don't have to make any adjustments.

25:24 Remember, we talked about underneath routes drags. We're doing things right now that doesn't require us to change our play too much because simply right now, we're not going to be able to do it. We can usually get one hot route off if you do it over and over. So, you want to break the huddle quick and you can usually get one hot route off. But, at the beginning of the game, especially when it's rocking, you need to just control the game and do these simple things that can help you pick up yards without having to hot route. So, again, here we're in a short yardage situation. We're going inside zone. I'm not looking to get too complicated or extra on offense until I have quieted down that stadium pulse. And the more yards you pick up, the more you'll eventually quiet them down. Again, this is LSU, so it's going to be a little harder. But my goal here is to just do the simple, easy stuff. that's going to allow us to eventually quiet that crowd down and that's how you have to play against

26:09 stadium poles. Number 25, how to better roll out with your QB. Now, in this game, you can just kind of take off a lot of times if they're not doing anything extra. But if you want to really help your QB rolling out, what you want to do first is slide your offensive line to the side that you want to roll to. So, if you're a righty QB, typically you're going to roll right. So, we can do the quick slide, which I talked about earlier, which is flicking our right stick to the right twice. Now, we have a full slide. And to make this better, what we want to do is also double team the outermost edge rusher. So we do this by pressing LB or L1, going down on the right stick, and then we're going to move this little icon over here. You can see we can move it with our D-pad or our left stick. We're going to put it on the outermost guy that can be rushing, which is this guy on the line. Now, if they happen to be in a blitz or something, that's a different story. But typically, this is going to be the guy you have to worry

26:55 about. And what this does is they slide over, they double team him, and this allows you to easily roll out and break containment. Number 26. How to stop QB rollouts. I know that was the next question. Don't worry, I got you covered. Uh the simple thing to do in this game is you're going to want to put somebody on a QB spy. Whether that be a fast linebacker or somebody on the D line. I'm just going to put this linebacker here. We're going to leave the running back uncovered for this example, but that's okay. So, you get on the player you want to put into the spy. You press the A button on Xbox or the X button on PlayStation. And then you're going to go right on the left stick. Now, this guy is going to follow the QB. You definitely want a guy that's got some decent speed here, especially if you're going up against a really fast QB. So now I'm going to do the same thing, the same method we just did to help us better roll out. And what you're going to notice is that spy is going to follow us. And you can see we are not

27:42 able to outrun anybody because the spy was there the whole time. Now that you know about the best tips and tricks in the game, you're halfway there. Now you need to know how to play really good defense. And you can get all the information on that from this video right here on the screen.
