Pass Coverage NCAA vs. Madden

[tomymac23]

Just curious as to why pass coverage would be tougher in college as suppose to the NFL. Seems like guys are passing for a tremendous about of yardage in Madden this year? Any thoughts on why this is the case? Any help with DB def. would be greatly appreciated also. I play base cover 2 man a lot in Madden and its not effective against the run nor pass... Thanks in advance

Really good to know. I thought something was wrong there.

What do you mean zones do not work? I get them to work pending my opponent. I'm not saying there are no bugs but I get them to work depending on who I play. Sometimes the game isn't broken, sometimes the other guy is just that good. Now if you are talking about playing against the cpu, well that thing cheats anyway so I wouldn't know. I've had games where I've picked people off a plenty. Then I've had games where I give up more than I want to. But guess what, that's real. Sometimes you dominate and sometimes you don't. Maybe turning up the player movement to help with the bad strafing and the man coverage hickups where guys will not move on the snap at times but other than that I don't want them going back to old Madden defense.

Also, I think what they are thinking about in the NFL is you had four 5,000 yard passers last year. You never see that in college. Now of course every defense shouldn't be the same an that may be some issue. However, they tune it I hope every defense remains distinct and players remain distinct.

Since when has zone worked in NCAA13? Zone is ok in Madden, just can't sit in the same look all game and shut people down this year. There are plays that kill most zone looks and equal plays that can beat man, gotta be able to find a nice balance of both this year.

Which plays work well against zone and which work well against man in ncaa and madden. Offensively and Defensively!?! Thanks in advance! Trying to improve.

I dont know cavsfan. Zones have worked for me pretty well so far. My only criticism is that in Cover 2 the safeties don't cover deep very well.

You have to setup your zones. Play some man and blitz then run like a cover 3. It shall work. That's how I get most of my picks is setting up the zone so the qb isn't used to the look. You have to switch up the coverages
