Defense Played WITHOUT Stacking Defenders All Over the Place

can it be done? i've been wanting to know the answer to this question for awhile.

i've played a few cats here and there that have literally snuffed out my offense with their defense BUT they were not stacking defenders in A, B or C gaps or on the outside of DEs as such and as we do in the madden community. they just broke the huddle and ran their defensive formation and plays with an occasional audible to adjust to what i was doing. can this type of defense...of NOT stacking defenders in specific gaps as such be effective? and if so, what causes it to be that way?

90% of my blitzes bring tremendous heat with 3-4 people tops and nothing more than DL/LB shifts and the occasional re-blitz of a DL/LB. The rest is putting guys in zones/contains/spies.

thats the madden way have 50 ppl in the box with a blitz somewhere so if you run usually they can contain it..if u pass well you cant really quick pass so usually the defense can recover

Stacked box = uncovered wrs for me )

i play team play with a really good guy who runs cover 3 out of 3-4 and plays exceptional d without making hardly any shifts and not very many adjustments. your user skills must be great though

I guess it boils down to making defensive adjustments without showing you movement, a shift here, a crash there, a playmaker here etc.
Ive played a few who seem to not stack but are great users with their FS or MLB and it get the job done for them. My user ability stinks, old hands and old eyes lol, wish I could duplicate others user abilities
