Question about cornerbacks?

[groesbeck]

If i got three cb's that all have the same attributes except one has 99 man coverage, one has 99 awareness, and the other 99 play recognition. Which cb would be the best ball hawk?

Awareness. More aware of his surroundings I would assume.

I'd take the coverage

But it depends how large of a gap there is on the other stats

if one guy is 99 coverage but 75 awareness and the other guy is 93 coverage and 91 awareness i'd probably take the guy with 93 coverage.

I try to find the best balance, but in general I put coverage as my biggest priority
Also speed/acc is pretty important you don't want to match 85-89 speed guys on 95-99 speed WRs

And that's why taking out defensive assignments in Madden 13 was a mistake.

depends on how low those non-99 stats are...

I've got a rookie I drafted in 3rd round, 91 speed, mid 90s acceleration and mid 80s man coverage but only 30 something AWR. He hangs with recievers pretty well on some plays (streaks and straight drags) but if the reciever throws any kind of cut or move, he always gets faked outta his Nikes and loses a few steps (sometimes 10 yards depending on the move). But Chris Houston who is 80s or so coverage and awareness doesnt get beat like that nearly as much.

I think PR is more to recognize a run vs pass faster or a screen or a play action...I always look for that in safeties and LBs
