anyone else getting torched on D?

Part of the problem is that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for those to be 2 separate sliders.

If you squint, you can see what they were trying to accomplish, but those concepts are so closely linked that it's not clear what a user should be tweaking to get the results they want, and I'd bet a lot that the dev team isn't 100% clear what each slider should do either...to the point where they just undertune both of them (that is, make them largely unresponsive) to make sure they don't break something with the other slider, or that they don't interact to have really wild unintended outcomes.

Condense it to one "coverage ability" slider, make sure it's actually responsive, THEN maybe consider whether you need to split those 2 things back out.

I'm betting the answer at that point would be "no".

Thanks. I’ve seen videos where it’s there for some reason that doesn’t pop up in my play call screen. Is it only certain formations or certain tabs (I typically use coach suggestions).

If you use coach suggestions, then you won't see them (at least I never have), you have to call your own plays then the shell option will show up.

Yeah you have to actually be within a formation to then see the RS prompting you about shells in there. And certain formations won't have certain disguises in them (Cover 4 shell etc. won't be in every formation as it still depends on the base look of the specific form to a certain extent).

I'm playing as Dallas, who should have a good D, but giving up 80%+ completion and a ton of points. It's default All-Madden, but in 24 I was able to play good D. I get a fair number of sacks, and interceptions, but just too high a completion percentage. Not all short passes either.

I will agree that there are some serious defensive issues with this game. I may have a long (personal man hours over 40-50) fix

Rosters need a major overhaul from ratings scale to traits to the abilities that are defaulted to superstars/X factors.

Albeit through heisman through 4 games I’ve shredded the cpu defensively I’m working on a collective mass overhaul for the game. Here’s some photos I’ll post more below as well

Heisman 10min q 18 runoff
My personal sliders
Fatigue at 65
Parity at 65
Physics at 83.

When I play with the browns I’ve averaged 5 ints a game. (2 game sample)The cpu has mixed deep and short passes. Its not all dink and dunk. Other games using the same set

I held the panthers scoreless for 38 mins.

Held the 49ers TD’less for 37 mins.

I play all 3 levels of the defense. I disguise my shell about 85% of my snaps and mix it all up. From cover 0,1,2 man to zone blitzes, man blitzes, heavy zones with a “show blitz and press “

Here’s what I did to mr Purdy created 5 sacks
