Defensive Zone Coverage is awful

Defensive zone coverage, especially linebackers is broken.  They abandon their zone after 1-2 seconds to chase QB.  Also, safeties in Man coverage adondment assignments to chase QB.  Borderline unplayable.  It got better once I turned off plaster, but there are still many gaps.

    Can we please fix this^^^^? My defenders are set to play the pass over the top and be backed off the WRs and still get beat deep! On the flip side, my WRs would make the same play and catch only to get on KO’d and my WR is higher rated than theirs! The coverage for seams doesn’t work!

    CFB27 defense plays way better than Madden currently! Sheds from defenders are very UNREAL as they just run through other defenders to get to the ball carriers at blazing speeds coming off blocks to make a play across the field! 

    interceptions are ridiculously being returned as the intended receivers just stand there while a QB fumbling 15yds behind his line and somehow an olinemen gets spider senses to turn around and outrun everyone to recover the fumbles! 

    Defensive adjustments don’t seem to fully work, as out of corner routes are super effective but in CFB they’re fully defendable using the adjustments to commit to the route or play the outside! 

    interceptions the age of AI, you’d figure it would be used in this game for ratings. I’m seeing things that CFB just does leagues better with regards to gameplay on the field. An example would be heavy run formations being out matched by 3 man lines and my linemen aren’t making it to the next level for blocking and when they do there’s no pancaking of smaller defenders or anything as everyone just sheds off!

     

    so if I’m in an 1-3-1 formation and my opponent is in nickel, I should be able to see daylight anytime I run the ball against this personnel just like in CFB27
