How do you beat zone? In an online league I threw deep balls with success against man, so people started to play ALOT of zone against me. I now can't get anything more than a 5-7 year pass. How do you beat zone? Whats the best routes to run?

You are doing the right thing. Just pick apart a zone defense and drive down the field. You don't have to have deep passes to have success.

Flood routes, china, levels, Texas, curl flat are concepts that usually do the trick against various zones. And like cuse said, stay patient. Nothing wrong with 7 yards a pop.

Depends on the zone. Are they running any particular zones constantly? You need to learn each zone's weaknesses, then identify the zone preplay and figure out who you are going to read first.

Flag routes. Flag routes beat everything in Madden.

Outside coverage in zone ends flag routes.

In '15 players in zone react extremely fast and cover a tremendous amount of ground while the ball is in the air, so the easiest way to beat zone is to throw under it. If you have either a very tall WR or a very fast WR, you can throw over the top of cover 3 but it requires you to user the catch.

Four verticals for deep passes. Third fastest guy should get open in cov2, fourth guy in cov 3. That should be your first read anyway. Throw ball as soon as they clear linebacker and lead to side linebacker isn't on. Deep crosses work well for me also. Hard to throw outside go's past the safeties so those have to be hit between linebacker and safety.
