Zone Def Aggression question

[BlackRain37]

When playing as the OC, I was under the impression that editing the coaches aggression ratios would STOP the CPU from automatically putting the DBs in a Aggressive Zone Coverage. Apparently not?? I also read that Varsity level was the only level that didn't have this glitch. Apparently not as well as I checked that last night. SO, is there any way to stop this from happening? I was hoping that GLITCH would be fixed this year so the DBs aren't constantly stepping up and getting burned for both my team and the CPU.

Any info would be great, thanks! I've looked everywhere on here and can't get a straight answer

I don't know how to "Stop it", but:

I'm using a roster based on Oreaon's adjusted AGG values...

On AA, I've changed sides / switched controllers to the CPU team and check that setting...if it's not "Balanced", I reset and back out...

Usually about 3-5 times per game...

I've found it set to Aggressive most often, Conservative second most often and have even seen it still set at Balanced...

I'm not sure why I'm seeing an "assortment", but I don't feel like it's on as often as assumed...

Might be those HC / DC reductions in AGG kicking in?

Interesting, nonetheless...

Ya, I implemented his rosters and edits as well hoping that would work. But, no, same BS as usual. That glitch continues to screw the whole game up.

Seems like its an AI thing. I came out passing 10 straight times...when I went to look after that, it was set to conservative. I left it there. Went back and ran the ball 4 times in a row....went to check, and it had flipped to aggressive.

Varsity with OPI and DPI at 1 gives tight coverage, good players can beat bad players. I have started making sure to check stats that impact a play when something happens, like having my OLB miss an INT. That is something that happens regularly, but his passing totals were right at the bare minimum of 65, which I can understand.

The CPU provides tight coverage for his team as well?

Yea that's what I meant; from my controlling the offense standpoint, those help tremendously, as they give more competitiveness.

Yeah, those AGG adjustments are to limit the 6 to 8 man Blitzes the CPU likes to send, which are easy to exploit...

I also use custom D Books for the CPU, that I took the majority of the "not so smart" blitz plays out of...

Works REALLY well...
