More emphasis on defense means that you can look to create a Playmaker on the defensive side of the ball. If you see a particular matchup that you want to change just before the snap, simply select the defensive player you want and change his assignment. With this control, you can make on-the-fly adjustments, having defenders blitz, spy the quarterback, or drop back into different coverages to blanket more of the field. Astute Madden players will now be able to make big plays on defense more often.
