If the zone defense is fixed in '12, then this play would be perfect after you hot route the ROLB to hit the buzz zone and have a DT hit the hook

Man some of ya so simple minded lol... What difference do "new plays" mean if the OLD plays dont even work right? Players couldnt correctly cover the zones last year. IMO, this is another ZERO for improvement. See EA know this will fool casual gamers, ima TRUE FOOTBALL and GAMER and this isnt flying. Until i hear something and SEE something about ON FIELD improvement, im not going to be impressed AT ALL!

I like this coverage but this seems more of a situational play they need to make it where you can make your own plays that would be insane lol

The play should probably be flipped, so your FS who typically has more range than the SS is the one covering half the field while the SS is only responsible for a quarter

Re: 25 New Plays Coming to NCAA Football 12 - Play #2

This play looks awesome

but anyword on new formations ??? Such as :


3-5-3

33 stack
5-2 defense

38 defense (split middle)

2-5 defense

and 6-1 defense

or atleast to be able to package in to these formations ex (putting in extra Safeties for LB's and LB's for DL ......etc)

I agree with you and others that, while the coverage may look good, it does not matter unless the defense plays their responsibilty correctly.

I disagree that the CB always wants to force the receiver to the sideline, as it depends on the coverage called. For example, in Cover 2 the CB would want to come down and jam the outside receiver inside and the LB/NB would want to jam the inside/slot receiver outside of the seem, in an effort to funnel the receivers to the safety overtop. If the CB lets the receiver outside of him, that is when the sideline window opens up. The same could be said for a any type of "Squat" or "Cloud" coverage where the corner has flat responsibilty because it then becomes the safety's job to get overtop and when you have safety's playing on the hash, you have to give them a chance to get position.

Re: 25 New Plays Coming to NCAA Football 12 - Play #2: Nickel Normal Cover 6

While not something we haven't seen, the thing that really gets me with Base coverages in EA football games is they are not evenly distributed across every front. All base coverages should be apart of every front. For instance, I should not have to use hot routes to get cover 2 QB Spy with the CB's in buzz zones if I want that for 3-4 Predator or any other 3-4 front outside of normal. That base coverage should be evenly distributed across all fronts. This cover 6 for instance, it should be in the Nickel, Dime, Quarter, Dollar, 4-3 (all fronts), 3-4 (all fronts). It is a base coverage. What should be unique to playbooks is blitzes and different versions of base coverages (IMO). What if I want this cover 6 to be my base coverage and I want to scheme around it? Am I going to just be left to do that in Nickel? That cuts the gamer and their creativity on defense off IMO. Obviously, you wouldn't run cover 6 every play. There are some calculated risks you have to make given certain situations, but until I am in those situations and if cover 6 is working for me, I should be able to use it and not have to be in Nickel to use it.
