Defenders leaving receivers open
Even after the Sept 8th update, I'll consistently have defenders blowing off their man coverage and blitz. This leaving the receivers wide open.

Hi @EA_Blueberry, to answer your question, no, I'm not clicking the right stick. From the video I include with my previous post, you can see the player I'm controlling is on the line of scrimmage and I do not change off of that player. You can see the pass rush moves over my head if you are looking at the video. There is a bug/glitch in the game where defensive player will get pulled out of coverage so the opponent can make a completion. I'm also not sure why clicking the right stick would make a player I'm not controlling leave their coverage and run to the Quarterback who is 15 yards away.
@Alphaten Yes! This happens to me CONSTANTLY! It's infuriating. Just like you, I'm not controlling the player either when it happens. I started noticing a lot of wide open CPU receivers, even when I called a D that should have had a defender right there. I started checking those plays in IR, and that's when I noticed this weirdness. And I've had it happen on different formations, too.
This is still an issue. Any update on fix, I can't play franchise because 2 or 3 times a game my defenders just completely leave their assignments / zones so there are 3+ open receivers = opponent TD every time. Also noticed that pressing triangle will sometimes bring up right button options and vice versa = so I have stopped doing that altogether, yet this issue still persists.
