3-4 Formation and When to Use

3-4 is a Defensive Formation that can be chosen before the scrimmage in Madden NFL 25. Learn when to use the 3-4 formation, what Sets are available, and what teams' playbooks use this formation.

When to Use 3-4 Formation

Sets Up Defense Against Running Backs

3-4 formation is named for its composition of 3 defense linemen and 4 linebackers. The increase in linebackers applies more pressure and provides a better chance of tackling Running Backs, a.k.a. Halfbacks, who manage to get past the main line of defense.
