Madden 24 Defensive Power Moves And MUT Defense

Madden 24 defensive power moves are the highest for REs Aaron Donald (99 PMV) and Myles Garrett (98 PMV). They have 95 and 91 Finesse Moves.

Power Moves are the traits that help a defender make a bull rush. A higher PMV provides more strength to the defensive player to push back the offensive line and overpower the lineman.

It is an important attribute that helps Defensive Ends use their brute strength to get beyond the O-line and tackle the QB.

Likewise, Finesse Moves are another essential attribute that provides agility, speed, and acceleration for the defense to evade the lineman blocking their path.

Nick Bosa (98) and Micah Parsons (97) are the top two athletes with the highest FMV.

Besides Power Moves (PMV) and Finesse Moves (FMV), the core attributes of a defensive player in the video game are:

  • Tackling (TAK)
  • Block Shedding (BSH)
  • Press (PRS)
  • Man Coverage (MCV)
  • Zone Coverage (ZCV)
  • Pursuit (PUR)
  • Play Recognition (PRC)
