Did you know you can intentionally dirt screens in #Madden26 #CollegeFootball26? People panic in these positions and force the throw. Live to fight another down. (Map this to the back paddle if your controller allows. Makes sending spies easier w/o accidental switch sticking.)

Season 7 was a nasty. Tomorrow is a welcome day, if only to reset the shit show to come in Season 8. If this was it, Mike Alstott will be my favorite item of the year, and it's not close. We shall see if he makes the cut tomorrow... #Madden26

THANK YOU TREY. FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE SEES IT. #Madden26 They say KoltFordyV and I wear the tin foil hats on stuff like this. Maybe...but not here whatsoever. You take hits to AWR/PBK/RBK for OL playing OOP. If that's the case, why am I running a C at LT and a LT at RT? 👇🧠

Take your sanity back against the "Unstoppable Pre-Lit X-Factor" opponents. This is the BEST ITEM in the Combine Promo in #Madden26 Ultimate Team. No more glowing players from the first snap. 🏈🎮🧠🥼

Tell me this isn't the most relatable example of a scoring drive you've allowed 50+ times this year already in online H2H on CFB 26?

Let's talk about the BEST Defensive Lineman stack in #Madden26 right now and how you can find hidden gems on the front end of the game to make your other DL better. GOLD PLATED Myles Garrett 🪙 This man is KITTED OUT with a FREE ability (that players ignore ⁉️) 🧠🧪🥼🔬🏈🎮

Let's talk about matching underneath routes in split field coverages such as Cover 6 and Cover 9. Did you know there are multiple sets of rules for how routes are passed off underneath based on who your user defender is at the snap? Follow and repost for more! 🏈🎮 #Madden26

If you run any safety walkdown, show blitz, or manually move your safeties in this game, be advised. 🚨 They messed with safeties flipping their hips and running if you don't leave them at standard depths. Absolutely putrid change. #Madden25

Let's Chat About an Incorrect Narrative I Continue to See Pushed. #Madden26 Flipping is NOT AN ISSUE VS. NICKEL. People are peddling a legacy issue that's been fixed. You can move ANYONE YOU WANT and they will go to their new spot if you shift/flip. Like, follow, and repost!

It would be really cool if someone internally would escalate this issue in #Madden23. Please?!

Long post alert. A few thank you's as well. ❤️ I feel bad I've really just got into the TTV game for the season 3 weeks in. As you know, Gridiron always takes priority for me at launch as I am nose to grindstone on covering as much about the game as I can. I truly appreciate you all rocking with me when it's a bit more sporadic. There are lots of elite players grinding TTV right now and it inspires me genuinely when I see you all growing and locking in on your craft. It's also amazing that so many of you choose to hang out given the choices! Over on the Gridiron side I also owe thank you's. All this coverage work and feedback is paying off. Big time. It's collaborative. #Madden26 If you want to shut down every formation, WE WILL TELL YOU (not just me) what front, stunt, coverage call, and who your user/switch stick rules are. The Discord has kicked it up so much this year and there's basically coverage residents in there giving advice at most hours of the day. That way you can get perspectives other than yours/my own on topics. They are great and answering things I am not (MUT sets, upcoming content, etc...) Here's a montage of just some clips of just today's stream. Some of these guys had seriously competent route combinations. Others were your average online player. Either way, we faced everything. Bunch. Trips TE. 4 Strong. Empty. 2x2 Tight. Doubles Flex Meta. And now with the Miami defense out for stunts/pressure/QB containment, two of my most thorough defensive game plans are fusing together and becoming really good together. Perfect complimentary rush + coverage rules. The YouTube channel WILL WIN YOU MORE GAMES (no strings attached) but it only scratches the surface. There's so much more. Maybe the best in coverage I've ever felt, all things considered. Yeah, aggs suck and CIT rates are super high. But the point is that we are prepared for when the game normalizes and still playing tight coverage in spite of that. Just keep generating turnover-worthy plays and usually (but not always) the player who wins that category wins the game. I also want to give a shout-out to the Gridiron Discord again, this time for the quality lab session questions and focus this yea. This group of dudes (and a couple gals too) is locked in as I've seen it in a bit. The questions and feedback in there has driven the Vault content more than ever. People have been labbing their tails off to memorize coverage rules and help one another. It's inspiring to see the growth and people graduating from days of just starting out and winning less than 50% of games online become stronger because we are applying football teaching together with a focus on learning what is reproducible inside a game's code. That's not easy, honestly. I'll have a film breakdown tomorrow out on talking about the most recent coverage updates I've installed from today's Twitch stream. I want to bring you more game tape/film study of tips in action with telestration. Again, thanks to everyone who's grinding this game. It's motivating.

This is SUCH a nasty thing to have in your back pocket. #Madden24 🎮🏈🧠🌶️ Even better that Peppers also gets Lurk Artist to bluff it, drop into coverage, and make your opponent set up some pointless double teams that might get other players in untouched. Today's YouTube vid!
