Alright, so, I’ve been messing around with Madden 23, trying to figure out the best defense playbook. It’s been a wild ride, let me tell you.
I started by hopping into practice mode, you know, just to get a feel for things. I picked a few different playbooks that looked interesting from the menu – 46, Multiple D, and the classic 4-3 and 3-4. Figured I’d see what all the fuss was about.
Experimenting with the 46
First up was the 46. Man, this thing is aggressive. I liked how it brought a lot of pressure, but it also felt a bit risky. I ran a bunch of plays, tried out different formations within it, like the 46 Bear and 46 Normal. It was fun, but I wasn’t totally convinced. Too many holes in the passing game for my liking. If you are playing an opponent who can throw well, it is very easy to be defeated.
Diving into Multiple D
Then I switched to Multiple D. This one was interesting because, well, it’s multiple, right? You’ve got 3-4, 4-3, Nickel, Dime, all that good stuff. I spent a good chunk of time just flipping through the formations, trying to get a handle on all the options. It felt overwhelming at first, honestly. I did a bunch of different plays against the AI.
- The variety is great, but it also means you gotta learn a lot more plays.
- I found myself getting lost in the playbook sometimes, trying to remember what each formation was good for.
Going Back to Basics
After that, I went back to the basics with the 4-3 and 3-4. These are the bread and butter of Madden defense, and for good reason. They’re solid, balanced, and pretty easy to understand. I focused on mastering a few key plays in each, rather than trying to learn everything. It felt good to simplify things after the chaos of Multiple D.
I played a few online matches to really put these playbooks to the test. I had some success with the 4-3, especially against the run. The 3-4 was good too, but I felt like I needed more time to really unlock its potential. I will play it more in the future.
The Verdict?
So, what’s the best defense playbook in Madden 23? Honestly, it’s tough to say. I think it really depends on your playstyle.
- If you like to bring the heat and you’re good at reading offenses, the 46 might be your jam.
- If you want a ton of options and you’re willing to put in the time to learn them all, Multiple D could be the way to go.
- But if you’re like me and you prefer a more balanced approach, sticking with the 4-3 or 3-4 and mastering a few key plays might be the best strategy.
It’s all about finding what works for you and practicing until you’ve got it down. I’m still experimenting, still learning, but that’s part of the fun, right? Anyway, that’s my two cents on the best defense playbook in Madden 23. Hope it helps you shut down some offenses out there!
