How is the defense in next gen?

[vannwolfhawk]

I put this in the Q&A thread but don't think thats seeing much action. Im a defense 1st type guy. The below listed questions and areas are the only things that stopped me from buying on CG. Im curious to these issues as it would be a deciding factor for me getting it on NG. Just my little things I need to justify a purchase.

Can someone answer me if WR and CB play has been fixed in man coverage? Not do we have new interaction, but can you still throw a curl route every play against man coverage without press coverage on and if you can complete it 9/10 and 10/10 times like in current gen game? Also, does the CPU AI adapt if I am doing this every play? Just knowing it was there was a game killer for me.

I heard the DL/OL interaction is 1000x better both in run and especially pass. What about as a user on the DL has it improved at all? Can I manually play a DL or DE and pull off moves I want like spin, swim L or R, and power moves? Can you shed blocks to the way you want L or R?

Is zone defense really improved?

Thanks in advance for any response?

Yes the cpu ai will punish you if you run curl routes often. Usually by jumping the route for an int.

On the dl it depends on sliders. On all pro its nice to get pressure, but all madden its a lot tougher to break blocks. Its also hard to stop the cpu running game on all madden, but not easy to run on offense like it was cg.

Imo you should just rent it in case.

Are you guys using auto strafe, heat seeker, ball hawk, and/or switch assist?
