madden 25 gamers....how to stop the run?

You can't

Your best bet is in compressed running sets, base align.

Either make a custom play book or use the 46 defensive playbook. I really like the bear nickel Cover 3 against spread type runs... You'll end up with 2 safeties in the box. Try to sub an OLB type of guy to the RDE spot since he is standing up and mess with the defensive line as much as you want. I usually play with the Mike and try to blow stuff up. If you're good on the stick play as the safety to the RB side and have your defensive keys set to commit to the RB and the QB is your responsibility. You can get a lot of fumbles this way. Also wide 9 and the Sugar Bluff Cover 3 works pretty good. For runs out of 2 back or 2 tights I like the bear formations but 4-4 was popular at first. In 4-4 I'd squeeze my D-Line and spread by backers. All in all it's extremely difficult to stop the run on Madden 25


ETA: Those cover 3's tend to take away the curl routes which are extremely annoying! Hopefully this helps a little bit!

If you play with a team with good corners, show blitz or load the box.
Hit L2 and decide wether you want to cpu to take the QB or the RB. I believe it's L2 and X for the HB and L2 and Square for thr QB. I do running back alot so I can come in and light em up with the safety or linebacker. Chiefs playbooks are some of the best in the game IMO.

thanks for the tips! i'd been on hiatus from madden for awhile, and alot has changed since i last played it. i'd handled my friend pretty well, until he decided to stick with the 49ers exclusively....as a result, i've been watching frank gore run all over me & i haven't been able to stop the fricker yet
