I feel like a lot of this should be common sense, hats on hats and grass more or less.
I’m playing a multiplayer dynasty in CFB 26 with my cousin and I’m building Kentucky and idk how, but somehow I beat #2 Georgia in their house by 8. I went and looked at stats and I threw 85.5% completion rate passing just like this. Custom routing helps a lot too.
Oh and for reference I’m just using classic passing so it’s purely stats based. I don’t like the way placement and all that feels, just feels unnatural to me for the game 😂

What I’ve learned here is that taking the easy completions is the way to go and low to high progressions is the blueprint for a lot of the plays in the game. Be patient sticking with the short passes then the big plays will open up eventually. Thank you for the knowledge. Awesome work. 🤝🏾

I’m playing Madden 26 and for the first time I’m making a pure passer. Thank you for having these uploads it’s helped out a lot but I still have some things to work on. Keep up the great work. 💯💯💯

Is this 3 types of progressions covered in your book?

Reading leverage is a LOT more useful in 26 than it was in 25.
The way I read stick is to see if anybody is outside the end presnap. If so, I want the dragon. I'm also checking the slot's leverage. If he's inside, I want him. That's how I ran it in HS 30 years ago and it plays pretty much the same in Madden.
I'll admit, it took a good year before I could throw that quick out accurately in rhythm. I was awful at 3 step drops.
Went from struggl8ng on offense to dropp8ng 500 passing yards in my dynasty league, great content bro
@GabeyurbabeyThanks for the vids sir
@Digitallypleasing749Ngl I was looking for a was to be a better passer in CFB26 and you definitely coached me 😭🔥
@NoClearanceTradingWhy didn't you do these in nfl tho
@ercihanates6504Still watching in May 2025
@NickWilzWhy wouldn’t you go B to Rb then to A on the low high trips side? instead of B to A then RB? I’m confused
@Louville1Great break down video
@jordanlivenowI do slow sims........the CPU gotta do it lol.
@realjcooptingsI've been reading the progressions backwards for years 😂
@joshuatelem8796What do the names mean exp: Y sail in the eagles playbook
@jonathanT1189Still here studying in 2025.
@NickWilz22:00 Fam, how did you know he was going to blitz!?!? 😧 Was it alignment? That was beautiful
@BrutusJrThe3rdI have actually become a better Madden player since watching your vids. Thanks man.💪🏾
@angryhulk3992U need to study this to be good at madden, I suck 😢
@aranariss1Have you ever thought about doing a video like this with an eye tracker? It's one thing to hear these explanations (which are very helpful in themselves), but it's another to see what you're actually looking at. Would help a lot with learning what good timing is (how long to be looking at each route).
Of course that changes, but in a few of these examples it was hard to tell when you were focusing in which receiver. Seeing that bubble on screen showing what you're looking at could be really helpful, very cool if nothing else.
1. This is quite simple for people who understand football terminology like I do. 2. This is horrible for people that don't know football terminology like my friend that I'm trying to teach football. (I'm too stupid to teach him myself cause I just know what this stuff means without it ever really being explained to me)
@Lazyovhas far as the weedwhacker goes... you had me at premium head
@Jwill1095Your awesome Kurt.
@ravenclaw9122I'm now getting into football and recently bought my first Madden. I wasn't getting anything going but I swear this helped sooo much. Appreciate it ❤
@ls0768Thanks for posting
@JoshHodges-m4lYou break this stuff down very well, thanks brother.
@SolraneN7Your not an NFL QB anymore bro 😭 Move on you need to change the title 🤣😭
@caidengriggs720How do u pump fake
@yoboysquid-jd9nfI stole stick from Dan orlovsky on NFL live last yr. That play is money... you don't need a bunch of glitch bs real concepts work.
@jackblackout79Step 1. Start franchise mode and trade HB away for literally anything else.
Step 2. Profit
Love the way you don’t get give 2 plays that are 1 play TDs then leave us stranded for every other situation when they finally stop the broken play.
Yea in college football I rarely have time to read more then 2 routes if they aren’t open I’m sacked and I have a beast offensive line in ULTeam so I just have about ten plays that always get open I use then I switch it up to other plays that I will get sacked sometime in😂😂
@Htownforever713Can you do something similar for the running game? What defenses to look for, what concepts to run, etc.?
@tylermarr6488Thank you tremendously for doing these videos, still fresh at learning this and following you the best I can. Its helped me a lot in CF25, getting a lot better than I used to be lol. Im not too familiar with route names and still figuring out zone coverage.
@SmokeyR19My brain hurts.
@djuro14My issue in real life and madden, is tunnel visison, not seeing the levrage and locking on one receiver (guess that makes me a bad QB ... LOL) Awesome break breakdowns. Can't want to try the learning guide.
@napoleonbailey4060Do You Play All-Madden?
@ScamLikely95Thank you!! Great video
@KJ.392I absolutely love everything about this. This type of content is so helpful
@tylerh639I’m starting to understand why Rodgers held on to the ball so long. He was waiting for the deep passes to develop. I don’t think he enjoyed taking check downs all game. Where as Brady seemed like he always took the check downs.
@Nightwing300How do I motion people ?
@connor5803How do I get sacked less , I’m always getting sacked so when they get close I just throw it and lose interceptions , I love your vids man very knowledgeable
@connor5803How can I tell what defence there using so ik what plays to use
@connor5803Bro your knowledge of reading defenses is UNMATCHED. You should create an Ebook. This way you can earn money on this stuff. I appreciate it being free but bro you should monetize your knowledge. No on on this grind can explain this stuff this well.
@BamaDad2023Dang… so much learning going on!!
