Just a cohesive place for any questions or pointers. How do we throw high or low now?

Use LB/L1? (Not sure about PS4) and then push up on the LS for high and down for low.

M2M is looking really good. COver 2 man... Robber for inside coverage.

What does man align do? Every time I use it nothing happens. I always assumed it aligned guys when you were in man-to-man but that doesn't ever happen.

Man Align is supposed to adjust Man cover so that each defender is lined up across from who they are covering.. You may notice when you show play art, some man to man lines are across the field or essentially a defender is not directly in front of the offensive player they are covering...

Man align will either move the defender in line with the receiver they are to cover, or re-asign the man coverage of each defender to cover the receiver they are closest to.

Hope that helps..the mechanic sort of confuses me at times.

With zones it will cause the defender to align like they are in man.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was under the impression but for whatever reason whenever I try to do it, it never works. I'll have to move my guy manually over and then hope he doesn't go back to his original spot. I'll have to record a clip next time.

There are plays where I have noticed it doesn't work.

Yeah, definitely. I think I've seen it work best when I'm in Nickel and I do the 1 LB blitz, I ALWAYS select man align on this. Depending on the exact setup of the offense, your coverage LB may be on a WR. When I select man align, the CB gets back on the slot and the LB covers either the TE or the RB depending on the exact offensive package.

So, I can't explain exactly when/why it works best other than to say, imo, if u r in a blitz, or maybe even cover 1 or cover 0, I always select man align in those scenarios, and I believe it does help, specifically making sure a LB is NOT covering a WR.

I notice there is both home and away equipment on the game. Is there a way to edit both when you go manage rosters?

I think the changes are automatic (per a tweet)

Primary & Secondary change, if you want to ''set'' a color it has to be outside of that if memory serves.

Thanks man. I appreciate it. The feature seems to work pretty well too.

I've been playing with this, it works if you use the "team color" option for wristbands, sleeves, etc... and there are some gloves (jet speed) that automatically change colors based on the uniform color.

Does anyone know how to playmaker now? I play on PS4 and it was L2 + right stick and nearest WR would playmaker, now with target passing is it still in the game?

You just flick the right stick on a passing play, post snap.
