Defenders do cover zones in zone defense .... or it wouldn't differentiate itself from man coverage in the slightest.

We all understand that the way zone is played in Madden isn't completely accurate, but it is still different than them guarding specific players. We don't have that automatic adaptation for certain formations / situations that zone defenses would be ready to adapt to IRL (based on route distribution) but they are still responsible for an area of the field (given that there is a receiver in the area, if not they adapt).

Why do you think Aso was reported to be having so much problem with the Eagles defense. The reason was that they wanted him playing zone coverage at points, which he almost never did with the Raiders.

If zone defense is "defenders covering people, not zones" then why would he have any issue with zone then ....
