Do You Play Man To Man Or Zone On Pass Coverage...?

[BadAssHskr]

Cover 2 man and the like are my base D plays, uside from that, depends how the game is going. Is the cpu in hurry up? Their starting qb just get hurt? Are thy backed up close to the goal line, in a long situation?

Just depends the tone of the game for me. Im either base, or mixing it up depending.

It really depends on the team I am using. I have used both schemes effectively, but as in real football, it depends on matchups. In general, I like to use a man coverage with cover 2 over top. I tend to use crappy teams, so I like to use this style to prevent long plays and force the opposing offense to march down the field.


(Note: this is all against CPU)

I love Cover 2 sink - but I mix it up as well. Good game this year.

I would call that Robber play out of the Nickel my base defense

I use man qb spy against scramblers. Doesn't always stop it but helps. For zone I use cover two disguise I believe, the d tackle becomes the spy

Depends on down and distance. On first I tend to mix it up, mostly man or cover two with some blitzes. On second or third and long I use a lot of zone - mostly cover 4 - to keep everything in front of my defenders.
