Do cornerbacks matter in Madden 13?

Basically, there isn't really a certian type of CB that = shutdown. It's really what your D enforces. If you constantly give up runs and have to defend 3rd and shorts you'll want a different set of CBs than if you are a team that forces the pass most of the time. If you CB fits your entire D strategy then they'll be more valuable then a guy who is perfect in only 1 aspect of the game.

Com'on dude your the jets you should know there is one type of CB = Shutdown....that type is REVIS!

Anytime a corner is in press coverage, he gets beat deep. At least that is all I have seen in the game. If you have press coverage and no safety help over top, your getting beat by a streak down the field.

True in 99% of situations just like in the real NFL.

Pressing in Madden is even riskier though until they fix the #2 CB press bug. If you try to press with him you will give up the deep ball no matter who you are covering (even if it is a slow WR like Boldin)

What? Bartell and spencer are under 90 speed....
