Who can quickly tell if the "D" is in man or zone?

Send it to me too please? [email protected]

And also, in 2k5, I always used to check by moving a man in motion. If the CB follows, man, if not, zone. Very simple.

even with that, if i set the guy over you to guard you man, he'd go with you but the rest would still be in zone. if you know your opponent doesn't dig that deep into the controls, that could be good enough but i just check the movement a half second after the snap. you should have an idea of what to do in either case before snapping so that's all you need.

Is there a way to call a man play, immediately audible to zone, then easily revert back to your original playcall?

There is zero movement.

interesting, this hasn't crossed my mind before but it's something I'm interested in trying. I assume by your post it's worked out well for you.

Is it possible to pick a zone play and hot route corners 1 and 2 to man?

Yes it is.

spank, i'm guessin you can use the audibles but don't know.

sportsdude, call a cover 2 or whatever, hit the bumper for the db edits, select the button to the db you want to change and then the wr you want him to guard, then do it again for the other side.

sounds like a lot but you can do it all in about 3 seconds.

don't know if it made the APF cut (haven't gone thru all the plays) but there used to be a play that defaulted to that set up also in either nickel or dime.

It can actually be done before any players have lined up at the line of scrimmage if you have memorized the face buttons of the opposing receivers/tight end who needs the special treatment.
