There are 3 major components for stopping Gun Bunch Strong In Madden 25:
- Asking yourself the proper questions
- Save your user for the 1 high route
- Put it all together
(All insights are from me – 3x Pro Madden Champion “Manu“)

However like most of my content – you can apply it to whatever you use
Now here’s where the important part begins…
1. Ask Yourself The Proper Questions
What stock routes are each WR missing that won’t allow them to attack certain spaces❓
Ex. The lone side WR isn’t able to run a corner route
So that WR can’t attack the deep left =
We don’t need an outside quarter or cloud on that side
“But Manu would about that crosser?”
Hey hold on.
2⃣ Save Your User For The 1 High Route
98% of combos have 1 high route then the rest underneath
So 1 of my strategies is to adjust to bag all the low routes then…
User the dangerous route that beats 99% of covgs
Now lets..
3⃣ Put It All Together
I’ll crossman the TE angle that beats every zone
I’ll man up my slot CB on R1 or circle incase of a corner that’ll beat cover 2
(Shade down/out if I expect corner)
The HB wheel gets inbetween every zone so I’ll man him up w/ protection overtop
