The big secret to playing zones is understanding 2 things:

1) Understanding where your weaknesses will be with each coverage

2) Figuring out how to get pressure while also trying to minimize the exploitation of your weakness. Eventually zone will break down. With multiple receivers coming into your defenders "zone", they will have to pick one or the other. It's at this moment where your Zones are usually diced up by the opposing QB. It's why usering a LB or safety is so good in Madden. Because you can transition between 2 receivers better and you can kinda sit in the middle a little bit better than the CPU can. Making it harder for the QB to pick your zones apart.

Not an easy task this year given press coverage is kinda borked atm (which usually buys you time to get pressure on the QB before your zones fail).
