Quarters

8 Formations39 Sets41 Plays

Overview

The Quarters tag groups every four-deep zone concept in Madden, covering 41 plays spread across 8 formations and 39 defensive sets, from Dollar and Dime shells down to run-heavy 4-3 Under and 3-4 looks. These calls split the deep field into four equal zones with corners and safeties playing top-down, which caps vertical route combos and forces offenses to work the intermediate middle and flats. Filtering by Quarters lets you build a defensive game plan around sound deep coverage, find the specific personnel packages that fit your scheme (3-3-5 and 3-2-6 for pass-heavy downs, Over and Under fronts for balanced sets), and stack Press Quarters variations alongside base Cover 4 Quarters for pre-snap disguise.
