Defensive basics?

[reedracer]

I'm really good at offense in this game. I score on almost every drive on heisman difficulty. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea what to do on defense. I always use a defensive lineman, and the only presnap thing that I know what to do is guessing run left, right, mid, or pass. What can I do to get better?

Just play man, ask head coach for play calls and get yourself to the point where you can execute any play without having to need go to or cheese plays. Also start playing as a MLB it will make the game more fun trust me, I love using linemen but its more fun using a LB and using a end in pass rush situations. I've been doing this for a couple years and my skill has increased dramatically.

I'm far from a defensive guru but a couple things I have learned is that you should ALWAYS run man (zone is broken) I always press the DBS and shade them to the inside (Helps take away slants). My go to defense is the 3-4 2 Man Under or Nickle 2 Man under. Your best bet might be to grab a couple controllers go into practice mode and lab it up a little bit and learn what stops what and what slows down what. Good Luck.

Yeah how?????

I tried Googling but nothing came up about shading defenders.

You cant shade on NCAA

It's not listed under shade I believe when you hit Y (Xbox) you can move the right stick left or right to align the players. I normally align them to the strong side of the field. But it really depends on the set the offense comes out in.
