The receiver that most players will look to throw to is the tight end (A) running a deep vertical route.
This play sends four receivers on verticals routes deep. In the image above, the offense comes out in the Gun Y Off Trips – Four Verticals. In the breakdown, we want to look at a defense that we like to run that does a solid at defending it.
A lot of times, the inside receiver gets open as he goes towards the middle of the field. This especially holds true when it is run from a trey, trio, or trips formation. One of the harder passing plays to defend in football video games over the last few seasons has been the Four Verticals passing concept. Please keep in mind, we can’t promise this defensive set up will always work, but at least it will give you a fighting chance. In this section of the book, we will show one of the most common deep pass passing concepts in the game, and give an example on how we like to defend it. Trust us, we know as we have been on the same end more times that we want to count. This often leads to frustration, because you called the right defense, but yet a receiver somehow comes up with the ball for a big play. Often if your opponent has a stud receiver, he will get behind a defender and make some spectacular catch, especially if your opponent has any stick control. The problem is all it takes is just one deep throw out of four times and its first down or worse yet a touchdown. Plus, EA Sports has added several tools to Madden, but the players on offense still can throw deep effectively. There have been more defensive animations added to the games over the years that allow defensive backs to defend against the deep pass. Although there have been defensive improvements, nothing has been overly consistent for defending vertical passing concepts.
Defending the deep pass has always been a trouble spot for Madden over the years. In this Madden Guides Tips breakdown, we look at Defending Four Vertical Passing Concepts.
