Problem with playing defense
Two huge problems playing defense:
Every player that you don’t user screws up almost every play. The AI defenders, including your 90+ superstars, play with awareness that would get you put on the bench on any NFL team. When players play zone, we have to make them actually react to the route concepts rather than just running to a spot and standing there until the ball is thrown. And when you play man, you can’t make good DB’s immediately give up 3 yards of separation.
The disconnect between user inputs and what your player actually does is insane. I user a DB and I hit triangle, half the time he either doesn’t do anything (when the ball is easily within reach) or he swats the ball instead. I user a d linemen and I tell him to go one way and use a certain move, he uses a different move and goes the other way. Like what are we doing?
