I guess I misunderstood your complaint with match coverage. Honestly, no coverage in the game plays correctly according to their alignment and pre snap rules as it is. As cool as it would be to have some of the highly nuanced defenses of the NFL in the game, I don’t think the AI can handle making them operate properly if they cant get the vanilla defenses to work as it is. Plus most madden players would not understand the advanced concepts you are referring to. I think your best bet to getting some of these defensive concepts in the game would be on PC with the mod community, I just don’t see madden adding them into the base game any time soon when they already struggle to get the AI to play the most simple coverages correctly. Scheme wise football is an incredibly deep sport with way more nuance than sports like soccer or basketball so tuning AI logic in a football game is a uniquely difficult challenge even for developers with a deep understanding of NFL scheme
Don't let them off the hook bro.
Match Coverage isn't so complicated that in today's technology can't handle implementation.
Heck, match doesn't even carry seam routes which is fundamental when it comes to match. Let alone keep leverage vs shallow and deep crossers.
Just feels lazy to be honest. Any half educated football observer knows how it should be run, these guys get paid to know and implement it. Yet year after year we get what we got now...a terribly flawed product.
When's the last time defensive playbooks got a TRUE overhaul? Besides just taking a bunch of plays out?
