How to stop corner routes in Madden 23? Everything you need to know

Corner routes are arguably one of the worst things to defend in Madden 23. Players can all relate to the anxiety of an opponent calling that dreaded move, as it is ultra-difficult to negate.

However, thanks to hours of gaming, researching, and strokes of good fortune, there is a possible solution.

How to defend corner routes in Madden 23

Corner routes are torturous to come up against, but there's a way to negate them.

Here are two tips on how to come out on top and make a game-winning interception:

1. Match Coverage (Cover four palms): Think of "match" like delayed man coverage. Outside CBs will play corners like a man with outside leverage. Cover four palms can be found in formations like Nickel Normal.
2. 25-yard Zone Drop Rule: If a corner route runs 15 yards, set your flat zones to 20. Make sure you have an outside cornerback in a flat zone.

The above might be a little tough to master initially, but with the proper training, you'll negate these routes in no time.
