As we all know, in Madden, although passing is the best way to score quickly, it is also very important to be able to run the ball at will. It can save you on late dawn and short situations, and help you consume time when you need to. So, knowing how to stop the run is very important, here are some tips:

Don't forget your formations

If you don't have a good alignment pre-snap, it is very difficult to stop running. If you see tight ends or a fullback approaching, choose 4-4, 3-4 Bear, or 4-6 defensive fronts. If you just have more linebackers near the line of scrimmage, you can put pressure on the edge of the offense and let the outside run to the inside, thus becoming the core of your defense.

Base align and press your coverage

One of the best ways to stop the run is to get your players as close as possible. Put your defensive linemen in base alignment and let them head-up over the offensive linemen. There will be more flexibility on either side for them.

Another important part is press coverage. If you predict that a run is coming, you can choose press coverage to keep your cornerbacks, safeties and coverage linebackers as close as possible to the line of scrimmage. If the front 7 players are beaten, getting your cornerbacks and safeties closer to the ball can ensure that you will not be beaten by much.

Man coverage

If you feel your opponent is going to run the ball, make sure in man coverage. AI will automatically run to their position in the zone coverage. Sometimes these zones will force your corners and safeties to be behind them early, man coverage can ensure that they start the offense.

Control a defensive end or the MLB manually

In fact, the best run defense is set by you. Manually control a wide defensive end to make sure that they set the edge against offensive tackle and TE, or you can take over the MLB and plug the gaps yourself.

Use the coaching adjustments menu

You can use the coaching adjustment menu to give priority to QB on option runs. After that, prioritize running back and strengthen your B gap defensive linemen, so that the quarterback will not bring it in during tackles. You can customize the way your team defends with the coaching adjustment menu and use it to help you to stop the run.
