For me I shadow the end out or user the OLB who is meant to cover said RB; when the screen is thrown I play the receiver or go for a conservative tackle.

On top of what Sausage said, man coverage, in general, seems to stop screen pretty well this year

How does the play ball/play man mechanic work on defense? I understand on offense it is not necessary to switch to the receiver to trigger catch types. Is it necessary on defense? How about the swat button? Does it work? How well and do you have to user swat to get it to trigger?

It is necessary to switch on defense unless you are the defender closest to the targeted WR already

I play strict no switch/no input both sides of the ball and have not had any issues. Sometimes my DB goes for a pick when they should play man but that happens to the CPU dbs all the time too so its fair to me

Haven't played madden in a few years. I can't pass for the life of me. I am on all pro and may have to switch to rookie. I am having a hard time reading my wr and I tend to throw picks. I just lost to the pats as the fins 16-0 with tannehill throwing 3 picks. I may have to go to practice.

Thanks man. You've been really helpful. Appreciate the vids and streams also.

Play skills trainer. They will teach you how to read a defense wich should immediatly help your completion percentage. You need to know where you can and can't attack different defenses.
