Slider solution for cover 2?
 

Any of you slider gurus figure out how to get corners to actually play the flat zone in a cover 2 defense, specifically against a crossing route. Even when I change my coverage to underneath my corner is 10-15 yards downfield trailing the route they should have passed on to the safety. It's driving me absolutely nuts trying different slider combinations to no avail.

Just a question? Do you have all your Dbs set to zone in your coaching scheme? I suspect that may affect that behavior. I don't think traditional gameplay sliders are going to do the trick here....

Also - Coverage Audible - Underneath.

Hmm. Interesting theory. Currently my corners are set to man to man in my attacking 3-4 scheme. Have you seen improved zone play from a zone coaching scheme?

Honestly, I've seen my db's play better flat zones when I shade inside or outside. Usually the WR beats them off the line to the left or right of them and the corner is in the flat. Whenever I play underneath my corners trail the wr's for 10-15 yards and take themselves right out of the play.

Definitely, but man-to-man suffers. It's all about harmonizing with your players' type as well as the plays you call.

In a 3-4 scheme, man-to-man makes more sense from a scheme perspective...but zone ability is going to suffer unless you shade them as Millennium pointed out. It's a bit of a chess match. But don't be afraid to toy around with the schemes to fit your players and your own play calling style.

1st off, what are your Dbs ratings in man and zone cvg?
2nd, what are their player types? (you can find that in 2 places, roster/player card or in "upgrade players"/manual upgrade, which is faster imo)
Also, Coaching schemes can do alot for user and cpu controlled teams. Main forum has alot of info on it here. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...r-ratings.html

I gave up on getting the cpu ai to consistently play the flats. I just recently booted one of my friends from my CFM who would throw 20 times a game to his rb on a flare route into the flat and 15 times to his te on a crossing route into the flats. Frustrating that the ai just doesn't react to such simple routes, but I guess that goes back to the recent article here about the Denver defense and Madden.
