What happened to DE contain hot routes?

[jyoung]

Am I just missing something, or is "contain" no longer an available hot route for defensive ends?

I also didn't see any stock plays in my Titans defensive playbook that had the DEs starting in contain assignments, like there used to be in previous Maddens.

I'm having a hard time keeping people from rolling out freely to the sideline without my old contain plays. Even slow QBs like Brady, Ryan, and Stafford are getting wide open rollout lanes against my standard four-linemen pass rush.

Use the conservative pass rushing coach adjustment to contain.

Pre-play, Hold down Left trigger, then R1/Rb will put both ends in contain

Thanks for the tip. I kept looking for contain on the joystick commands, but it looks like it was hidden down there on the bottom bar with the bumper commands all along.

Unfortunately, I just tried it out against an online opponent's Tyrod Taylor, and he was still able to escape the double DE contain and run anywhere he wanted to with ease, even against Reggie White and Jadeveon Clowney.

The four-man pass rush just doesn't seem to be able to corral speedy QBs in this game, even with that double contain presnap adjustment.
