Their coverage logic isn't always right but it does kind of help visualize things for people. The skills trainer isn't a bad way to understand route concepts that beat certain coverages, but again the defensive logic is not nearly as advanced with checks like the NFL so it can oversimplify things a times.

I started out with trying to learn everything about a specific positions and the technique behind it. Then I went bigger picture in terms of concepts and positional schemes. Finally I ended up looking at total play designs. Kind of a bottom up approach to the game and it worked pretty well. I'd watch videos, read articles, follow people on twitter. Really, anything football was worth a read or a look to me because you never know where it might be applicable. 

I think it was 2017 Madden not sure but it gave excellent breakdowns on defensive coverages and gave great a run through of spacing and where to target against specific coverages. Showed you where to check how to set protections etc. Was a really detailed walkthrough I was very surprised.


As to the OP: Don't laugh but I have a very worn copy of Football for Dumbies on my self lol.
