In this Madden Guides blog post, we will explain what a Madden Nano Blitz is and the basics of how to set one up.
What Is A Nano Blitz?
A nano blitz is a term used by Madden players to describe a defensive play that exploits a glitch or weakness in the offensive line AI. By making certain adjustments to the defensive formation and coverage, the nano blitz user can create a gap in the offensive line that allows one or more defenders to rush through unblocked. This creates a very fast pressure on the quarterback, who has little time to react or throw the ball.
Nano blitzes are not cheats or hacks, but they are considered by some players to be cheap or unfair tactics. They rely on exploiting a flaw in the game’s programming rather than using realistic football strategies. Some players argue that nano blitzes ruin the fun and balance of the game, while others defend them as a legitimate way to gain an edge over their opponents.
How To Set Up A Nano Blitz:
There is no single way to set up a nano blitz, as different defensive formations and plays can be used to create different types of pressure. However, there are some general principles and steps that can help you set up a nano blitz in Madden.
- Choose a defensive formation that utilizes fast linebackers or safeties that can get close to the line of scrimmage. Some of the best formations for nano blitzing are 3-4 Odd, 4-3 Even 6-1, Nickel 3-3-5 Cub, Nickel Doube Mug, Big Nickel Over G, Dime 2-3, and Dollar 3-2-6.
- Choose a defensive play that has at least one defender in man coverage on a running back or tight end. This will prevent them from blocking and create an extra rusher. Some of the best plays for nano blitzing are Cover 1 Robber Press, Cover 2 Man Press, Cover 3 Sky Press, and Cover 4 Drop Show 2.
- Make adjustments to your defensive alignment and coverage based on the offensive formation and personnel. You can use the D-pad and buttons to move your defenders around and change their assignments.
- User control one of your defenders who is not blitzing and cover the most dangerous receiver or route. You can use the right stick to switch between defenders before or after the snap. You can also use the left trigger to strafe and the right trigger to sprint while covering your assignment.
Common Adjustments for Nano Blitzing:
Here are some common adjustments for nano blitzing that many players use.
- Base align: This will make your defense look symmetrical and disguise your intentions.
- Pinch your defensive line: This will make them move closer together and create gaps on the outside.
- Crash your defensive line: This will make them slant in a certain direction and create gaps on the opposite side.
- Spread your linebackers: This will make them move farther apart and create gaps in the middle.
- Blitz one or more linebackers or safeties: This will make them rush through the gaps created by your defensive line.
- Change your coverage shells: This will make your defenders drop back into different zones or man coverage assignments.
