I have read some posts about people having difficulty playing certain positions on FP mode(namely coverage on defense and reciever on offense).
Tip 1) Getting better coverage
On defense the default focal point is the ball. If you try to look around, you will be doing it from a refernce point of the ball. This is okay if you are playing DL, but it is what confuses you if you are in coverage. Hold down the white button to lock on to the person you are covering, if you want to look back at the qb, just quickly release the button and the player will look back at the ball.
Tip 2) Selecting defensive player.
If you want to get the right defender before the snap, instead of just pressing B or Y. Pull back the screen with the right trigger, you can cycle through the players alot faster that way.
Tip3) Improving QB skills
Let the qb take the designed drop back with out you controlling him. Only control what reciever the qb is looking at, and pay attention to the danger meter. This decreases confusion and allows you to make better adjustments in the pocket. By looking at the replay, I realized many of my sacks could have been avoided by simply stepping into the pocket.
Just a suggestion)
Try not to be in control of everything. I found I had a better time when I turned the automatic reciever switch off. I was just playing qb and after one of my reciever caught the ball. I found myself talking to the tv telling him to get the first. It makes the game feel like you are part of the team. I also found that this is true for defense. Even though I was not apart of the play on every down, I thought I had a much better time picking a player and staying with him the whole play. This definately gave me a more life like felling.
Anyway, that is my first post- please give me some feedback or post your own suggestions for FP.
