What does receiver spotlight do, I've never used it.

They took it out this year.

Spotlighting a receiver or RB while in zone coverage would make your DB's commit faster to that receiver once he was near the DB's zone.

It was never very effective.

it's not going to completely shut down a receiver, that would be unrealistic

What it did was make a defender pay mre attention to a receiver over another in zone. If the offensive player flooded the zone, and there was a spot light, that would open up the other receivers. If the offensive player was focusing on one receiver, that player was more likey to get shut down. If the offensive player was smart, he would find the open man and not force it to one player all day. Spot Light is nice when people force the ball to one receiver all game long.

When my friends and I play OTP, we will often see someone pick the ravens or Vikings and one palyer will be the QB and he other the HB. When this happens I put Revis on the HB in the coahing menu. They will just try to force it to their HB all game long, and Revis is there all game long to swat, tackle for a short gain and pick off passes. this also makes these players quit because we kept them from cheesing down the field all game long.

It's still in the game and effective if you chose correctly,though you will be burned if you guessed wrong and your opponent is aware.

Coaches cam(the one where you can see your play on the field) on PS3 it's R2,unsure about xbox but I guess it's RT. Anyways while holding it down press the icon of the reciever you want to spotlight.
