Re: FS USER TIPS

I'm a longtime FS player in regular games, not so much RTG. But....

I'm assuming you are looking to be an Ed Reed type of playmaker. If you want INTs you need to pick your spots. If you are covering a man on a short route, or in a short zone, your goal should be coverage. The QB rarely will throw to you in these situations if you are doing your job.

I find the deeper routes are where to get the INTs. Streaks, posts, and corners. With some practice, you will find the sweet spot between the QB never throwing your way and getting out of position.

You are playing RTG so play calling may be an issue. I find it is easiest to get picks when you are roaming the field. For instance a deep blue zone with man coverage underneath lets you read the play and sneak in for a pick. Or cover 2 and 3 you can anticipate when the QB will throw onto a gap in coverage if you are able to read the play.

Try to pay attention to the offense. They will usually run similar plays so you have an idea of what's coming.
