1.) How to Blitz
To Blitz you simply overload the OL. To do this you send more people to a gap than they have to defend.
To do this you must understand something, the idea of a 1-gap vs. 2-gap defense. In a 1-gap defense each DL is responsible for 1 gap where as in a 2-gap system a DL is responsible for 2 gaps. For instance in a 3-4 the NT must force a double team with a C and a G. The problem is that there is suction blocking in madden. This means double teams aren’t possible. So, 2-gap systems are at a distinct disadvantage.
To overcome this it is best to blitz from the outside, or to pinch the line to blitz the inside (in other words make a 2-gap system a 1-gap system).
There also are random blitzing angles meaning you don’t have control over exactly where your blitzer goes. So, every blitz has some random factor, but all of these should be 75% or so consistent.
Lastly, the idea behind the “any play” blitzes is that you use this setup for every down with these formations so you don’t tip your hand.
Now I will give my blitzes for each formation I use.

!NOTE!
For these Blitzes I have borrowed others ideas and modified them for myself. If one of these is yours and you want it gone say so. Reversely if you want to add a blitz just say so. However, I went to a great length to make sure these work. So, if I your blitz doesn’t work, I wont add it.
