On All-Madden, the highlighted defender will not move without your input even if you hold L1.

*NOTE: None of this applies to defensive linemen because they auto-engage as soon as the ball is snapped -- but they won't perform any swim or power moves without your input.

I really hope this is all a series of bugs and not a design decision, because as a 'Coach Mode' gamer it's really bumming me out.
This would be massively stupid if true. Thanks for the info. A sane software designer would make this some kind of optional switch setting instead of tying it to a difficulty mode.

Re: Is the Defense Broken??

Man defense can be fixed a couple of ways

Man Align (Y+RB)
Flipping the Play (X+RT)
Resetting the play (X+LT)

**XB contorls

I hope they fix the alignments so we don't have to do this though.

Re: Is the Defense Broken??

My first Hail Mary in my first madden 18 game.

Not a good impression from zone coverage.

Re: Is the Defense Broken??

Is intercepting the ball even possible on Sim mode? I just played the opening Super Bowl matchup, All-Pro, 6 minute quarters and lost 50-52 to my brother. Devin McCourty dropped 9 easy interceptions by himself alone and I'm positive I had over 20 dropped interceptions total.

Yup that is my guess. Even if he didn't man align, coverage should not have broken down like that.

I've logged in only 2 games and I've seen several occasions where safeties just sit and do nothing.... this is a total bummer.

As usual Madden just came out and we are waiting for a patch.

I saved 9 hours of my EA access trial just to wait until the 1st or 2nd big patch before I even think about buying.

What seems to help me is using the middle linebacker and adjusting the coverage to show blitz. Others please try doing the same and see if you still see the zone issues.
