TE coverage in Madden 15

[dghustla]

I've watch many of the youtube videos posted of Madden 15 gameplay and it looks like TEs still run wild and can't be stopped by Safeties and LBs. Overall I'm excited for Madden 15 but this is concerning as it seems that TEs have been uncoverable since the inception of the Infinity engine and that trend will continue this year. With such a heavy emphasis on coverage I was cautiously optimistic that this would be addressed.

I hope it was fixed, I saw on Sky boxer's youtube channel he posted a video of a LB covering a TE well.

Thats a little more encouraging. One of the worst videos of TE coverage was this one.

the pats guy throws to gronk on almost every pass attempt and he's open 24/7

to be fair...

Not many players can cover Gronk or Graham
Even when they are on them...they still come down the ball - they are that good/tall/strong

I'm a huge Jimmy Grahan fan, but that's not entirely true. Defenders might not be able to stop them from making great jump ball catches. But you don't see that much separation between TEs and Safeties especially. They are great at body control and being a wide a target not running away from guys.
