I prefer a cover 2 man base defense as well. Very tough to run with any consistency due to the aforementioned coverage problems vs TE and sometimes RB. The CPU controlled LBs and S just can't cover anyone in man, unless it's straight down the field. If there is any cut in the route, they will lose 4-5 steps after the cut, regardless of stated man cover ability and agility. Looks ridiculous.

The shading, as far as I can tell, simply does not work. I don't think it ever has. Add it to the list of perpetually broken "features".
