Where did Defensive Assignments go?

[aspengc8]

I hope EA can patch this back in. There is no reason why my #5 CB is lining up on megatron in the slot. If I play man, my #1, or whoever I decide to, should play them.

Please bring this back EA.

I know this almost kill man coverage for me. Why would EA take this important feature out?

This needs to be in it's own official "EA Patch This Back In Thread". COMPLETELY nullifies man defense when you can just move your best WR to the slot, and get favorable match-ups vs 3/4th stringers without even having a defensive counter.

I know EA wants to open up the offense/passing game, but we gotta have options to defend it, we're not all 16 yr old kids who don't even know what 'Defensive Assignments' are.

They ran out of new features for Madden 14

Yes, we need this back. I never could get it to work properly for anyone but the CB's and even then, sometimes I'd have a LB covering a WR even though I had plenty of CB's on the field. If EA can make it work properly, please bring it back.

I'm having trouble thinking of a halfway decent reason to not include defensive assignments in the game.

[MMurda]

they automatically supposed to align with best on best, but i still have an issue. we had another thread going here...but i said what if my best cb is alot slower than the best wr?? in matchups i may wanna put my #2 or #3 on him just to close the speed gap. sometimes its better to sacrifice a lil coverage for better speed. in the end wat good is a coverage rating if the guy cant keep up with the receiver to cover him anyway.

apparently ea...once again mind u, and is becoming a common theme...didnt think this thru all the way

I thought man defense looked pretty wonky in the demo. I bet they took assignments out because they couldn't make it play nice with "best on best".
