It's sad it took so long for somebody to point this out. I've coached the 425 defense and love using it in NCAA but my question is Are they fixing the man to man alignment issues with the 425 and 335 defenses this year?

Yeah between zones not working and the man align problems it made the 4-2-5 and the 3-3-5 unplayable.

This play is awesome, I run it in 11, by making it with some hot routes. People never expect it. Its on my blog below if you wanna see how I make it.

Maybe this will help with the TE being open over the middle to often. I also think DE's need to jam the TE's instead of letting them waltz right by.

To the commen about there being different types of 3-4 schemes and what not, you hit the nail on the head. There is no way in all that is hoy that you can run a nick Saban style 3-4 with what they give you. Just because of how complex some of his schemes are (dime : outside corners man, 1 inside blitz 1 inside zone, fs zone, ss blitz. De man, MLB blitz). Now hOneslty, how many have of you have seen a play that even remotely resembles that (if you could understand it). What I'm trying to say is each coach has such a different mind that you just can't implement that into a game

I don't think any game, including the 2k's ever got the 3 - 4 defense right, especially with all the various sets and looks that coaches bring.

as a defensive coordinator who uses a 3-4 defense this has always been frustrating to see the 3-4 playbook in these games. It has so many things you can do with it that sadly is never represented in games.

Sadly this could be said about all the defenses in the game. The most fundamental part of a defense isn't really IN the game. There are no Gap responsibilities, no force players, no BCR player, the only real difference between cover 2 and cover 3 is the number of deep players is a JOKE! But it is all we have, so I tweak sliders and for the most part enjoy the crap out of this game.

Secondly, this looks like a legit play. Of the 4 that they have shown this one is my favorite. The way that DEs actually play these days, I am surprised this was not added far sooner

This play is nice to a certain point !

I know this probably isn't the best forum for this but I have to ask.....Does anybody else agree that the 3-4 has yet to be correctly portrayed in a video game? And I'm not bashing EA, I LOVE NCAA 11, still playing it, I passed up on MLB2K11 to keep my dynasty going....I just wish I could use the 3-4......I think the devs have a hard time getting the nose tackle interaction right.......I think if they could get that right it would add one more little wrinkle to recruiting too......we all know a 3-4 d-lineman and a 4-3 d lineman are completely different animals...think of Casey Hampton vs. Warren Sapp.....
