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.

U might've missed the tweet a few posts back. U can go spd vs spd, ovr vs ovr, height vs height, etc. nobody knows all options, yet, I would imagine. But, looks like spd vs spd is one of the options.

I'm glad HEIGHT is one of those options that you can select other than OVR.

You could have a 90+ OVR CB that is 5'8 go up against an average WR that is 6'5 and that corner is getting beat almost every time, ESPECIALLY in the Red Zone.

Also can be sorted by RTE

I disagree. I believe this does make a difference within franchise mode of how you draft or build your team. I'll use an example of how the Eagles drafted Rasul Douglas in real life at cb. His size and physicality can be a factor against dez Bryant and brandon Marshall within the division. Maybe not the important Cfm feature you were looking for but it is a nice addition.

But it IS a franchise mode addition. It hasn't been in the game before, therefore it's an addition and it's a very welcomed one IMO.

But what do you match it against? It isn't a 1 for 1 with like Route Running. https://t.co/0GwQ4Dw4XU — Operation Sports (@OperationSports) June 11, 2017

Really hoping it's a bit more open than this because I can already see a lot of issues with just matching certain attributes both from a user and AI standpoint. Direct assignments would be best, by depth chart option would be next best option. Hopefully this is something they will detail in a blog.

I believe more options from NCAA are going to make it into madden: I have already seen were we can select defensive play ball and pass rush options, so all a great bonus, especially if it works well. I also heard in one of the videos of the ea madden event that shading will work now, and m2m and zone play smarter, and lack of suction

I'd be very surprised if route running wasn't matched up with the best m2m cover corner.
