How to disguise coverage

[99ovr]

Hey just wondering if anyone knows how to disguise their coverages? Like for a zone defense, if the O comes out in a Twins formation I can't disguise it to look like man coverage. Is there something I'm missing or is this just not possible in the game?

I only know PS3 buttons so...

Triangle and "man align" for man-to-man, I don't know how to make it look like zome though.

yeah man align works sometimes, or pick man zone coverages, they will line up in man but play zone. also try using show blitz and manually hot routing coverage.

There's no way to disguise your coverage. If you come out with twin WR against a man defense both CB's will go to cover both WR's regardless of what else you do. There is no man lock on/off on here or next gen Madden either for that matter.

Show blitz or back off corners in press coverage. For 360 use Y then an option with right or left stick. I dont know if it will disguise it or not though.

Obviously disguising coverage is mostly for the pass game, so I have set all my defensive audibles to two pass coverage plays out of the 4-2-5 (my base defense) Dime and nickle. One of those plays is man, the other zone. Then I just try to time it and audible right before they hike the ball. I usually wait till a little while into the game, because you can tell when someone is looking to figuring out what coverage you're running. More often than not I start in man and audible to zone just before he hikes. If I don't get the audible in time, then im still in decent man coverage, but if I do, they're already thinking man and looking for the slant and all of a sudden they see zone and don't know what the heck to do. I don't do this every time, but when the time feels right and I do it, I often get a coverage sack or int. Also just audibling and hitting left or right for those zones works too.

this is where the coverage shells from All pro football would come in handy. Sad part is in All pro you can shade your corners either inside or outside to take away certain routes.
