In Madden 24, man coverage is a defensive scheme where each defensive back is responsible for covering a specific receiver. To beat man coverage, receivers need to run routes that create separation between themselves and their defenders. There are a number of different routes that can be effective against man coverage, but some of the best include:
Slants: Slants are short, quick routes that are run at a 45-degree angle towards the middle of the field. They are effective against man coverage because they force the defender to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time.
Curls: Curls are similar to slants, but they are run at a 90-degree angle towards the middle of the field. They are effective against man coverage because they allow the receiver to get behind the defender and create separation.
Comebacks: Comebacks are routes that start by running away from the quarterback and then cutting back towards the middle of the field. They are effective against man coverage because they force the defender to turn and run with the receiver, which can create separation.
Posts: Posts are deep routes that are run straight down the field. They are effective against man coverage because they force the defender to run with the receiver for a long time, which can tire the defender out and create separation.
