I run a 4-3 Defense

With a lot of offensives being spread out, I'll likely go with the 4-2-5 or 3-3-5. It mainly depends on my personnel and what works the best. Either way, I'll want to current a custom playbook.

Ideally, I want to have versatile players that I can multiple defense or be able to move guys around. I would love to have a player that I could play as a 3rd Safety in Big Nickel, or play as the Nickel CB, and if he's a solid enough tackler, to play as a Dime LB. Or a LB I could use as a Blitzer in 3-3-5, or use him as a overhang LB and cover flats. I want to run a very versatile defense that way I could use more depth and find ways to take advantage of guys that aren't starters

3-4 defense. I like to run split field coverages similar to a 4-2-5 by making the weak safety an over hang player, put my least athletic lb as the rush linebacker. Most athletic lb is the field side outside backer. In passing downs I will go to nickel and have that olb player in coverage on the backside with the nickel being the best coverage db that I have, usually a one high safety look.

Weak side middle backer in the base 3-4 is the backer that can run. Utilizing formation subs is key for all of this to work. I hope EA keeps the formation subs area where we can meticulously sub the correct players for every formation like on NCAA 14. I hate the new maddens where you pretty much can only formation sub while picking plays. Haven't bought Madden in years though so I don't know if it's still like that.

Been using a 4-3 Under/3-4 hybrid for years on Madden. Might have to change it up due to the prevelance of the spread offense at the college level

Yeah, with the prevalence of the spread offense, Air Raid offense, and RPOs at the college level, on top of the wider hash marks and how that affects both offense and defense, I imagine anyone who wants to base out of 4-3 or 3-4 full-time is going to have A Bad Time.

Nickel is going to be most people's base defense, be it 4-2-5, 3-3-5, or whatever else the game offers. Personally I hope the game offers the Tite and 404 fronts commonly seen deployed by Georgia, Iowa State, and others.
