rdeadwyler It is frustrating when you put together a 93 overall defense, and it feels like the AI is not covering anything. Safeties ignoring deep routes in a Cover 4 or defenders not reacting in man coverage take the fun out of the game. When you grind just to force a punt or an incompletion, it starts to feel broken instead of competitive.
You are not alone in noticing this. Other players have also said that coverage feels inconsistent, especially against high-powered teams like the Chiefs, where it feels almost impossible to slow them down in my experience. Defense should be holding up and giving you a fair shot, not leaving wide-open receivers every play. I can just hear my high school coach yelling at us for this one. I was a defensive tackle in high school, and if anyone ran up the middle in practice, that was going to be a bad day for us. I read the feedback all day like this. So, for me, it is good to have these types of conversations. I get specifics from y'all and not just things like "fix the game". These are the conversations we need to be having on the forums.
I will make sure this gets passed along so it is looked at. This is a quick follow-up for you. Are you seeing this issue mainly in All Madden, or does it happen across other difficulty levels, too? And when you run Cover 4, is it mostly the safeties failing to react, or are linebackers and corners breaking down as well?
