Hey guys! Hope you’re all having an awesome summer. We’re officially one month away from the release of Madden 23, and I’m really excited for the content I’ll have in store for you guys this upcoming Madden season.

Hey guys! Hope everyone had a fun & safe 4th of July weekend. For those of you still grinding Madden with me, this past weekend marked the final Weekend League of Madden 22. I was able to go 23-2 to match my all-time best record by using the schemes in the Pistol Trips & Pistol Weak I Flex Ebooks, as well as the loop blitz in Dollar 326 that I break down in one of the Film Room videos from May.

As we face the final month and a half before the release of Madden 23, my goal is to continue focusing on fundamentals that can carry over into future Madden games. In this week’s Film Room video, I talk about how you can use strategic onside kicks to take control the clock and field position, as well as providing you guys with a chart breaking down exactly when I think you should onside kick based on the score and how much time is remaining. As always, please reach out to me with any questions!

If you find yourself struggling in the passing game, definitely check out this week’s Premium Tip video on Pocket Passing. This is one of those fundamental skills that will carry over to next year’s game and beyond, and the summer is a perfect time to fine tune those skills!

Also, in case you haven’t heard, the Madden 23 Beta is out! I don’t have any Beta codes to give out, but if you hop on Twitter you’ll find lots of creators giving out codes every day. Madden 23 right now looks extremely promising and will almost certainly be a step in the right direction for the Madden franchise, and if you have any questions about it I’m happy to answer them as best as I can. That being said, we’ll still be playing Madden 22 for another two months, so the updates won’t stop!
