Cover 4

The Cover 4 tag identifies every quarters-based zone call in Madden NFL, spanning 85 plays across 53 sets and 9 formations including Nickel, Dime, 4-3, 3-4, and Dollar, with variations like Cover 4 Quarters, Cover 4 Palms, Cover 4 Drop, and Cover 4 Drop Show 2. These calls split the deep field into four quarters to take away verticals, posts, and deep crossers, making them a go-to answer against Four Verts, Mesh-to-deep combos, and PA shots while still letting safeties rotate down against the run. Filtering by this tag lets competitive players quickly build a quarters-heavy defensive package, compare Palms and Drop variants for pattern-matching against 2x2 and 3x1 sets, and pair disguise looks like Show 2 with their preferred user-controlled robber or hook defender.
