Missing Shells in Playbook and formation misalignment

Played a CUT game with 4-3 press Quarters playbook.

The 3-3-5 3 High formation is missing the Shells for the entire formation and against certain formations, the slot corner randomly aligns as a MLB over the center. 

Switched to regular practice mode with the same playbook and it happens in regs as well.

 

This isn't happening with 3-3-5 3 high in other playbooks. Doesn't matter if auto flip is on or off

    Hey, there

    It's been a thing in the community. Thanks for flagging this and sharing the details. Having your coverage shells completely vanish, and your slot corner misaligning over the center, can mess up your entire defensive scheme, especially when you're trying to set up pre-snap adjustments.

    A few players running into formation alignment glitches like this have found that manually turning off Auto-Flip Defense and resetting your Coach Suggestions/Defensive Playcall Alignment to Base (rather than Default or Man Align) inside your in-game Coaching Adjustments menu can temporarily force defenders back into their correct coverage shells before the snap.

    Let us know how it works out for you!

    EA_Shepard​ Auto flip is off the play, reset doesn't work but pressing qb contain moves the slot cb to slot position. The play that is misaligned in the 4-3 press Quarters playbook is the 3-3-5 3 High Edge Blitz 2

    Selecting edge Blitz 2 from pre-play or audibling to that specific play causes the slot cb to  move down in between the MLB & DT. Other plays in this formation in this specific playbook are aligning correctly,
