What level is everyone playing on because the people I scrimmage against are not having this issue. I'm throwing INT's on those routes because the linebacker is there. We scrimmage on All Madden Competitive.

Because, as I have stated numerous times, people with the full version of the game are not seeing this issue as of yet.

Any chance defensive play calling for the cpu is on their radar?

I've been doing a ton of fantasy drafts to get ready for my Madden league so I've been trying a ton of different players and no matter who I get on the D-line, nobody does anything. I've tried building a super elite D-line and still nothing. The very first game I played with the Eagles and Fletcher Cox was doing work, but I played a few other games with him and he never did a thing. I have used 8.5 of my 10 hours and I don't recall any CPU sacks on my team outside of that first game with the Eagles D-line. Would really appreciate this being notched up a bit and glad to see they are thinking about it.

As far as zone play,
I've noticed that cover 2 is garbage for anything down field. Every time I choose it the CPU attacks it deep (which is cool that they do that), but my safeties sit super far apart and don't react to the play. They just sit in their deep zones and if there's a short route on the right and a tight end flies down the middle, the safety on that side just sits out near the numbers on that side of the field and doesn't cover the Tight End (the short man is properly covered by the corner). The safeties just don't react at all in cover 2.

In a 3-4 scheme I've tried this out of Nickel and Dime and seen this result.

I wonder if people are not using the coach adjustments... Also hope EA doesn't patch where Zone play is perfect.. Coverages get blown all the the NFL

Zone play isn't perfect. It's not blown coverages that have been the issue, it's reaction time to the ball in the air.
