You'll Be Able to Match-Up by Overall Rating in Pass Coverage in Madden NFL 18

Good times.

Hey, kanobi, it's niner champ (whiner champ ) from way back....don't know if you remember me...

It can be sorted by a height, bunch of ratings and more.

Not the way I wanted to see it implemented, but I guess this was the only way they could do it without causing shenanigans like my OLB moving to SS.

But I was definitely hoping for something far more in depth. I would like to be able to have my number one corner follow a guy as long as it is X or Z, but I don't want my top corner following him to the slot.

With the way they have implemented this, I don't think it can be expanded on.

All in all more disappointed than happy.

Great addition.... But that they announced it as a franchise mode addition is disappointing.

Yeah it's not lookong good for primarily franchise guys so far. But of course game play improvements are also franchise improvements so there is a brightside.

We all know that OVR doesn't mean much, especially in online CFM's where you always have a few people who like to spam their stud rookies. For instance, why would I want Kevin King (Who will be a top 3-5 CB by year 3) defending an 88 speed 97-99 OVR Julio Jones by year 3 or 4? When that same guy probably has a 6-2-6-5 95ish SPD 82-85 OVR young WR he throws to more? Makes no sence. Is this a step in the right direction? Sure, but it's far from perfect. I would at least like to see them, along with the best on best option, add a fastest vs fastest choice, along with a choice to match depth charts. So the #1 CB on your depth lines up vs his #1 WR, and so on.

Step in the right direction. Not perfect, but at least it feels like something new.
