Can we PLEASE get a fix for broken\busted coverage!!

For what feels like the 20th time since launch, I’ve lost a game because my Senior DB refuses to cover his deep third. This time, it cost me a playoff spot.

This isn’t a once in a while bug it happens almost every single game. The only way to get proper coverage is to manually take control of that defender, which completely defeats the purpose of assigning responsibilities. If it were a freshman blowing coverage once or twice a season, fine. But my Senior Star Defenders? Every. Single. Game. Unacceptable. FIX IT.

The Road to CFP is already a grind, and to be robbed of a CFP berth repeatedly due to broken coverage logic is beyond frustrating—it’s ridiculous. I couldn’t even switch in time to the defender I knew I needed to control, because EA allows for quick snaps while simultaneously preventing us from cycling or moving to the right player.

  • Can I preselect my defender at the play-call screen? NO.
  • Can I cycle to my corner before the snap? NOPE.
  • Use the switch stick? Doesn’t matter—within two seconds of the snap, the WR is streaking 20 yards downfield wide open.

I’m losing games not because of my skills, but because of broken code. This needs to be addressed immediately

  • Defense is completely broken. It does not matter how good your players man or zone coverage are, they will always play like they are on ZERO. I never had to lurk the FS or SS 25 yards deep just to prevent giving up a 40+ yard play on every passing play. Route commits have ZERO effect. I got to the point where every defensive play I take is simply a man blitz with a Safety lurk hoping to jump a route or sack, but it'll still end up being a huge gain. I tested the defense theory by playing with LSU and playing a FCS team and while that game was still less competitive and I won, but defense was terrible. AI players do not react at all. CB gets cooked on all drags and inside slants and post routes. I got fed up, sold the game and went back to CFB25. The difference in gameplay is night and day. Idc if my cbs gets beat, but they can't get beat every passing play and they are 10-15 yards behind the defender and then when you look at the speed your player is a 96 speed and that WR or TE is a 85 speed and cook every passing play.

  • EA DOESNT CARE THEY WOULD LET US KILL OURSELVES BEFORE THEY MAKE THE GAME CORRECT CANT HAVE THE PRIZE PONYS LOSING TO REGULAR FOLK. Even the commentators you can tell are scripted they had to add some live event og’s just to make it a good broadcast. The game needs a competitive scene update
