It's certainly frustrating that when the CPU runs a Cover 2 Zone, it pretty much ='s busted coverage for the CPU. I can live with this for a couple weeks if I knew that EA was aware of it and working on a fix.

So could we be saying that instead of making CPB's to remove the 4 verts, etc. we could be making defensive CPB's for the CPU to remove the cover 2 zone play? I haven't really seen much trouble with the zone 2 with my current sliders and coaching sliders. But this is one half of a game. I'm not saying its not there, I just haven't really seen it yet.

It was supposed to be fixed but unfortunately it was not. In some cases people didn't start seeing freezes until after that patch.

Wait, is the issue that 4 Verts beats Cover 2 (which it should) or that a single seam route always beats Cover 2 (which it shouldn't)? Because that makes a big difference.

I'll say it again If they made the DE end rush better, decreased the throwing accuracy of the QB, and had the defense call decent plays instead of engage 8 or other full blown blitzes on 3rd & long, the coverage would be fine.

Watch some college football replays. A good team against a weak team can throw on them all day if they have a good line and an accurate QB. There will be guys running free all over the place.

Now try that against Alabama and not so much...Why? Not because the safeties are always making the right reads, its because the pass rush doesn't give you enough time to throw deep and if you do, you better be accurate and not float the ball because the DB's closing speed.

People are expecting to see Ed Reed and Revis lined up against them, thats not the case in college football. Very few lockdown corners and safeties. What you should be seeing is innacurate QB's, and Olines not giving the QB enough time to drop back and complete the long ball.

Everyone is focusing on 1 aspect of the game saying its the safety play causing all the problems, but the problem is much deeper, there are multiple things contributing to the issue.

I personally find the defensive play calling by the CPU, and lack of outside pass rush much larger problems than the safety issues.

Raise CPU Pass Rush high enough and you will never have a chance of throwing deep ... QB Accuracy is another story because the slider doesn't work properly.

Does anyone know if the shotgun counter play glitch has been fixed?
