I'm surprised nobody commented on that before me...Am I looking too much into it?

Nah, I thought Moore outran the CB and Brees laid up there the WR to catch it in stride. That's what I saw.

Last year, the CB would run the route stride by stride and be in position to int. the ball.

Did you look at it again? The CB Clearly stops running. I though Moore just outran the CB at first too, and I was loving the fact that he got out of his back-peddle, faced up the Receiver (which I have never seen before in Madden), and the CB was in great position...than all of a sudden the CB Clearly stops/chops his feet, and starts running again.

And Moore was running a straight 'Go' route the entire time, no hesitation or anything.

I watched it twice and I never saw him stop....

He didn't stop he just hesitated almost like he was trying to anticipate Moore's route as if he we going to run a post. Thats why he slowed and Moore past him and he was trying to recover to catch up to him to break the play up but he couldn't. That would be awesome if the corners play like that now. Anticipating your routes.

Ok maybe 'Stop' is exaggerating, but as the previous reply, he just breaks down and hesitates for a moment after he has great coverage. I would understand if the CB was playing Man Coverage -- but its clearly a cover 3, so he has the deep third of the zone, nothing over the deep middle (thats the safety's job.

I just don't understand why the CB hesitated or all of a sudden started to break down for a second.

I don't want yall to think I'm hating on the game now, or jumping to conclusions that this is a bug...I'm just calling it how I see it, and yeah the CB maybe didn't stop, but there was a definite hesitation, or little hitch in his step all of a sudden.

he slowed down for sure. only saw it happen that one time, maybe it was an isolated incident.

lol or an 'Alpha' stage incident, because when I am playing a Zone coverage (Cover 3 to be exact), you don't let anything over your head. Ironically, the CB on the other side is defending the same 'Go' route, and he doesn't slow down or anything.

Hopefully it was an 'isolated incident'.

I think the video looked great! Loved the chant with Brees at the beginning.

Favorite quote in the thread? "That video did nothing for me."
