It's getting to the point where I am about to just stop playing this game, because no matter what I do I can't stop it

Exactly. If I don't have two capable corners to stop WRs, it limits me on defense because I have to stay worried about my opponent going deep. And that makes it a little tougher to stop inside routes that I like to jump as a safety. So, if I get two very good corners, I am pretty good and don't really have to make safeties a priority then. That and WR is two of the prime positions because of the new animations. Also the time length is a factor. You get down, you most likely have to start airing out the ball.

I don't really have a big problem with this. Maybe you're getting beat by this by running zones? Make sure after the play is ran, you're checking the play they called. Most guys run the same "money" plays. So check the formation and try to jump it with a LB or S.

yea, I am just going to have to start usering. I've been out of the madden game for a while, so I'm still in that "user coverage doing more harm than good" stage right now, so I am reluctant to do it. But I guess I have to do it in order to get better at it.

Also, I got a pretty amazing draw in my last run through. Started off with 93 ovr CB Rolle, then I think it was 2 picks later I got a 91 ovr CB Rogers. Even ended up drafting an 81 ovr slot guy (Hayward). Picked up some solid enough DEs and LBs and a SS. Lucked into Rodgers and Charles on offense...then the last round legends game came and I got Atwater. Had 3 red star (IDK what they are called) players in the secondary alone.

Fairly easily won all 4 games. Best team I've gotten to draft so far. Only ended up an 82 ovr, but that secondary was just too good to do anything against. My offense just consisted of getting the ball in Charles hand and the occasional look towards Britt or Green-Beckham (he was default on my roster).

Definitely going to utilize nabbing CBs as much as possible. Last guy I played had ODB and Mike Evans with 91 ovr Vick and he couldn't do anything against me

I need good on paper to get Platinum but the most I can get is 82 overall. After watching tutorials I've notice people's rating go to 73 after the coach pick but mine always stays at 72. Can anyone explain?
