Improving AI Pass Coverage?

Re: Improving AI Pass Coverage?

My only issue with that is the same issue I'm running into by boosting pass coverage and defense reaction: while the bombs are nearly unstoppable, every other pass becomes a nightmare to try and complete. Even short crossing routes are swarmed within moments.



I'm hoping deep pass coverage is addressed in a patch.

Cover 3 with the next title update, and then looking at Cover 2 and then Cover 4.

I’m 100% Offline & I often find the gameplay adjustments they do based off of H2H feedback doesn’t fit how I play Offline.

What I’ve found is that in it’s current state, coverage defenders “need” those Coverage SS Abilities, esp the Zone ones that are programmed to cover deep & mid zones.

Tested last night giving safeties/LB’s deep/mod Zone Coverage SS Abilities, whether inside or outside the numbers, and they reacted/covered accordingly.

The bonuses SS Abilities give actually work, it’s just I don’t think they where done/injected with User vs AI focus, but User vs User.

The other thing I just asked was about unlocking Slots and allowing any Ability to be assigned to any player.
The combinations would make for some unique players

Any ability to any player would be great.

I use Matts slider set, which has the pass coverage and reaction time set down to 5 and I think the pass defense is pretty solid, actually a bit too good at times. Might want to take a look into those

Re: Improving AI Pass Coverage?

I'm on All pro using Armour's sliders with a few tweaks. I have the cpu defense coverage and reaction time set to 100, cpu tackle set to 52, user qb accuracy set to 25 and wr catching to 40. I was still shredding the D for 300 passing and often over 100 rushing per game.

I moved the parity to 75, and I for once in a VERY long time struggled. I went 2-12 to open my first 2 drives against the Bills. Corners hung tight in coverage, Fant dropped 2 in the first half, and my 2nd year qb over and under shot his passes.

I barely beat the Bills 31-28. I finished with 136 yards rushing (I have up and down games running, just depends on the defense) and threw for 236 yards at 50% completion.

Re: Improving AI Pass Coverage?

Can you post some videos of your issue? I know I don't have this problem, but then again I don't have any super speedy receivers.

Re: Improving AI Pass Coverage?

I play a All-Madden franchise with Matt10's sliders with the Chiefs and I don't get this too much. I always glance at Hill and if he's being pressed there's a really good shot he'll beat the press and get a walk in, and if there's only 1 safety or cover 0 it's a guarantee. But other than that if they're at normal depth unless I hit a hole in a zone on the go he's usually covered.

what I knew was broken though was cover 3 which the AI seems to love a lot and hill would slaughter those on slants. Gonna play 1st time since the patch tonight though and see how it feels

I don't have video because I don't have a good camera stand for my phone, but here are the results post-patch tonight. This is with 100 Speed Parity, 100 Pass Coverage, 100 Defense Reaction Time on All-Madden. Running nothing but go routes on every play, and doing nothing but long lob into RAC. No swerve.
