I can get up to 8 but then after a few weeks I get them back. It's like it's programmed so there is a limit as the CPU teams never seem to sign players due to injuries.

For the CPU teams it's typically 2-4 players, some have none and a few will have 5 or 6. To me, it handicaps me more than the CPU teams, which is another added layer of difficulty and I have to use my depth which is great. I often can let a good veteran go because his backup rookie has stepped up and played great football.

Is it me or did they dumb down the human AI on defense as far as the non controlled defenders? I keep getting burned and i'm not sure if it's by design, but the AI seem to compensate for a blown game by getting it to a receiver in the slot or elsewhere and my defender drifts off assignment allowing this receiver to go ham.

I got burned this way by Christian Kirk. He's a good receiver, but after watching some replays from me getting burned, he's not supposed to be that good. My Safety ends up chasing some other receiver when he should be covering zone.

Is this broken or by design?

coverage is borked right now. Someone posted a twitter post that the devs were looking into it.

I've been watching a bunch of replays and the frustrating part is that the CPU plays pretty decent coverage. Only the user team seems to be a problem.

Thanks man, I thought it was just me! I've been going at it like a mad scientist, playing with different sliders, cams, different defenders, etc, to no avail. No matter what I do, I get burned by some receiver. There is no rhyme or reason for it because I play defense well enough to not get burned like this.

User defense(ai controlled) works great for me. I can honestly say it is significantly better than last gen. Not perfect, but better.

In cover 2, the middle linebacker sometimes rushes the Qb leaving their zone wide open. 3. Defenders when pursuing the ball carrier towards the sideline they will pull up for a millisecond allowing the ball carrier to get past them. 4. Qb's throwing the ball away while still in the pocket to avoid being sacked.

Examples of the issues:

Do you mean not controlling the player at all? When I do that, he just stands there. I'm playing on All Pro.

I used to play that way, then control the player i.e., MLB once a receiver or rb gets near me, but this year is different.
