I keep getting smoked running zone out of nickel. I will try and put my lineup up. I currently run LSU D with a 95 ovr team.

Any plays in that book would be helpful if anyone is familiar. Also open to trying other playbooks

No single play will work against everything. I run mostly nickel zone but I mix it up. And after running zone 95% of the time, 5% man will often result in a stop. Adjust zone depths by need.

I have a 1, 4, and 8 year old to handle while I play. So rarely do I have time to adjust depth in zone.

Do you have any suggestions to run as a baseline?

Just trying to find some stuff people run that I can try to apply

I hate watching YouTube for plays because it takes away my learning and I feel like a kid again playing pack man at showbiz pizza in the 80s.

Not football

I know it's just a game

. I hope this post  is received well.

Try disguising your coverages too. You can do that through coach adjustments in the play call screen.

I have played many games and have yet to find someone running goalline well enough to stop me...and I dont consider myself an offensive guru.

youtuber “throne” played a guy running the goal line defense and he could hardly score, and throne is known as one of the better madden/ cfb players in the community. if you play a +2 speed theme team with great corners its incredibly hard to score against lol

I’m running Miami D and I’m mainly in 4-3 61 formation. 4 down lineman & 2 of them have quick jump. I adjust as the game goes on but It has a cover 4 play that can cover most stuff since you don’t adjust much. Hope it helps.
