Coverage A.I Next Gen

[sgwrestler11]

So I just picked up Madden for the series X. I noticed last night in man or zone my corners are getting torched on go routes... The receivers are just running right past them. Has anyone noticed this? Sorry if this has been posted before.

Honestly if they could fix the coverage this would be a solid playing game. I'm enjoying the new player movement.

The game is unplayable for me, at least on defense until it's (if) fixed. Sliders cannot fix the coverage issues unfortunately.

I was actually thinking about going back to Madden 20 to get my football fix, at least until we see what they do in the next patch for NG.

As a Raider fan I can te you this is real....VERY REAL!
Watch this video....seems like the raiders called a Cover 3 safety came down and the corner has the deep third.... If this were to happen in Madden we would be pissed... Se it's really real lol!!!!

I have CPU pass blocking down to 1, CPU QB at 40, CPU WR at 45, with Human Reaction and Coverage at 80, and generally speaking the only times I’m getting torched is when someone like Murray runs around and buys time before throwing deep, or a great WR wins a catch battle against my mediocre corners.


With this setting and my roster I’m not terribly upset.


However, I have gotten a BUNCH of roughing the passer penalties because I get close so often. Probably ought to drop that a bit, or stop pressing dive at the QB.

Smh it AIN’T real because on default sliders the frequency would result in teams scoring 50 points a game. Plays like in your video are made only once per game usually. Corners are certainly beaten deep a few times per game, but pressure or a bad throw usually save them. In Madden it’s at least once every three or four drives, and the percentage of wins is well over 50%, when in real life deep completion percentage tends to be 30 or less.


Edit - the various “deep ball” completion percentage websites define it as beyond 20 yards. These are deeper than that, and the completion percentage is lower than the standard “deep ball” criteria.

Zone is so broken in this game, even if you set your middle read hook zone to 10 yards they won’t cover a 9 yard route right in front of them
