Use the Madden 22 Defensive Default Play Finder With Search to find playbooks, formations, and plays by using the search feature. For example, if you are looking for a zone defense called Cover 4 Quarters, type in Cover 4 Quarters in the search bar. The Madden 22 Defensive Play Finder will quickly list every defensive playbook that has the Cover 4 Quarters in it.
Madden Guides Tip: use the advanced feature at the bottom where it says Formation Set and type in the formation you want to narrow the play down to. For example, if you type in Nickel Normal, it will show all the playbooks that just have Nickel Normal Cover 4 Quarters in it.
If you are looking for a specific play type in Madden 22, the Madden 22 Defensive Play Finder can find it. For example, if you are looking for zone defenses that feature Zone Cover 4 Palms, simply type in Zone Cover 4 Palms. The Madden 22 Defensive Default Play Finder With Search will quickly list every defensive playbook that has Zone Cover 4 Palms in it.
Note: it may take a few seconds to load all the data, depending on your internet connection speed and computer processor.
Note: the following playbook info is based on the default team playbooks and not the NFL Live Playbooks.
