Cornerback RTG is Completely Unbalanced

The gameplay loop for the CB position appears to be either not working as intended or completely unbalanced. Very rarely is your player rewarded for playing good defense (covering a zone, locking down your man), and a 3rd down stop on a 1 yard run will net you a total of 0 points on the coach happiness/teammate grade meter. With fatigue off, wear & tear off, and auto subs off, you will automatically be removed for at least a drive for hitting F on the aforementioned scale, which is possible if your teammates are the ones failing on defense. A majority of your playing time/coach happiness seems to be dependent on your team when the ball isn’t thrown your way, which to me takes away from the purpose of the entire road to glory aspect of the game mode.

    Forget the patching, my two biggest complaints are:
    1) The lack of a camera angle that allows you to see the whole field, "wide" is not wide enough, causing me to lose sight of any quick slants or drags and then I'm stuck trying to catch up
    &
    2) The strafe button even when I break correctly on the ball causes a weird "Faked out" animation so I cant even play the ball correctly

    I normally have a lot of patience but this just feel like low hanging fruit and how did a dev or beta tester not see this!!!!! FIX IT NOW EA

    I will agree when playing teams of equal or lesser overall, good coverage can produce 10 sacks a game which is a TINY bit crazy. But in my personal example, if you're VT playing against Georgia, it doesn't matter what you do. You're not playing most of the game and coach hates you. That's where I usually quit. I don't mind challenges but coaches don't just rip starters off the field if the whole team isn't playing well, especially if their starter is playing the best. For that reason, I feel RTG is unplayable. At least for defensive roles.

    yea i know what you mean that why sometimes i say i get saved by the lucky sack but if u stayed glued to your guy you can negate most small medium play negative points and ive had the bad man cover happen to me while i blanketed the guy perfectly but i think its something that bugs when the screen goes over to the guy who blew the cover and some how u get blamed for that man to man . i think the camera angle **bleep**s it up . thats the times ive noticed i get hit with bad man to man even though i know i was all over that guy.

    Yea, you can stay off the bench if your defense plays well like getting sacks. We aren't discussing when the defense plays well. We are talking about when your line is getting destroyed or your DBs on the other side of the field giving up massive passes. These get you benched and because your team isn't necessarily going to get better throughout the game, you get stuck in the loop. I also get "Bad Man Coverage" while still glued to my receiver.

    ive stayed out this loop by just spamming man cover and jamming the hell out the guy i cover and i get saved by the lucky sack , but most of the time if you play tight man cover and you get the good or great cover score unless a huge play happens youll net a small gain if a small play happens or it will at least cancel each other out, not a great feeling but it saves you from getting benched

  • Don't forget to mention that you get stuck in a loop of getting benched for the rest of the game. You come back, defense gives up a couple plays and you're back on the bench. I really enjoy the gameplay, the presentation, the added content like highschool. Coach Trust alone ruins the entire game mode.
