You may not be aware of this, but last years game did have auto checks for trips, and for 4 strong (that's a 3×1 formation, with the back aligned to the trips side). Sadly, these are nowhere to be found in this years game.
With that being said, no one needs to know any of this, if the game makes the auto check for you (and they are auto checks, so the game should do them automatically). People just want their defensive play they called to play correctly, they don't even need to know the why.

I'm not trying to insult that kind of person. I get it. Totally do. When I first started playing madden I'd grab the Browns and do my best to win a SB with them, but over time, on because the Browns suck, I got more into the NFL in general, and the sport of football. Went to school for coaching. Etc. (college sucks when yer old)

I miss things like RFAs, Holdouts, trying to convince a player not to retire. Etc.

But I can also see someone that just doesn't either get those things totally, or care about them.

Hell some fans don't even watch the draft or even the regular season..

I'm not asking for Duece's mock up to perfection. I'm just asking mostly for things we already had, and a bit more to make playing a CFM not a bunch of play now games in a row.

Lmbo I know that awkward feeling, being "that guy," the older college guy.

Last years game had auto checks for trips, even trips with 4 strong. Sadly, those auto checks are nowhere to be found in this years game. Things like that, the average Madden/football fan doesn't need (or probably even cares) to know. They just want their defensive play call to work as it would in real life.

Man, you have me wanting to go and pick up a PS2 and a PS3. Bringing up all the stuff we used to have, not just in CFM, but in the game as a whole. I was talking to Kia, and he brought up how we used to be able to disguise coverages (and I had completely forgot about this, btw), by choosing to make it look like Man or Zone. That's wasso much better than the absurd base align.

Re: Run/Pass commit under threat

I like the feature, I look at it as a way of telling the bad AI that we’re defending pass or run so that they don’t do the wrong thing. If a team is expecting pass regardless of the situation and the linebacker says watch for the pass first, why the hell would the LB’s bite on a play fake...that’s just stupid. Just the same for a run defense, I know they aren’t throwing, I want my guys playing downhill and not waiting or taking a step backwards before hitting their gaps.

I’m kind of confused as to how people think this isn’t what happens in real life, we sure did it when I played, even in high school, you don’t have to be a genius for someone to tell you hey they’re going to pass don’t bite on the play fake, but with maddens AI that’s exactly what you have to do and this is the only way I know of.

Also with guys just throwing bombs and aggressive catching this was needed to get the DB’s to play over the top.

Just based on Clint saying it's not real and its just a video game mechanic and never seen it in any game I've watched...

All the coaches I played for called plays, and players reacted according to their "keys": none of my coaches ever yelled out "Pass, "Pass," from the sideline and waved us frantically back away from the line of scrimmage; or "Run Right, Run Right," and waved us forward toward the right side of the line of scrimmage." No, they called plays, plays designed specifically for situation we were facing.

And because it happens to you, you assume it happens to everyone? Seldom happens to me. Has to be a very high-rated QB, with an especially high PA attribute.

You rely on your MLB to thwart first-down passes on 3rd and very long?

Well yes, why would this surprise you?
