Cover 9 is coded wrong

The defender relating to #3 is not to take #3 out.  EA has locked the 3 rec onto the #3 no matter what, which is not the proper technique. 

The 3 rec is to play “cut” which means you have your guy vertical and back towards the ball. If he goes out then look for something coming in. Which is what a vertical hook does (up and back towards the ball).

    Yes it is play action, but it highlights who the defenders are actually keying.

    The Vert hook chases after #3 instead of taking #2 vertical. The vert hook and 3rec are to "cut" the 2 and the 3, which means to take the guy vertical and back towards the ball. 

    Can we please get some answers as to how you guys are coding these defenses? There are way too many resources available to provide info on how coverages are to be played for this to be happening in the ONLY COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME on the market.
