[Gameplay] flipping defense busts the defensive coverage

I don't understand Auto Defense Flip when it actually hurting you from stopping opponents, then when you try & flip to original set the play art is all over the field causing a hole in your Defense, I've reached out to EA they say it might be a bug, lets start the discussion to fix this issue sooner then later.

  • @Ship08 Are you talking about H2H or Solo modes? I think there is a setting to switch "auto flip" off but I'm not sure how it exactly works (i.e. whether it is only in H2H or Solos, or after selecting a play vs. after an audible).

    I get busted in H2H sometimes when I use Man Coverage and my opponent sends a guy in motion. For some Zone Coverages, the issue might be there too, depending on how the players are lined up.

    I've also reported a glitch in Solos where the AI goalline defense can often be easily beaten just by flipping the play. Therefore I'd agree that this is an issue.

    I've moved your thread to the bug reports section. From my perspective it is clearly a bug.

    Summarize your bug No matter what defensive settings you have, default, corners matched by speed, auto flip, no auto flip, man d or zone d… if the opponent comes out and flips his play, the coverage and all of the defensive adjustments glitch out. Corners try to run 50 yards across the field to cover a wr on the opposite side, zone assignments try to do the same. The corner in a flat will try to take the deep third on the opposite side of the field. This is an issue every year and no idea why it needs to patched in every new game. Learn from terrible coding that is released every single year and just fix this. This is how some people are playing every game. They flip every play nullifying defense so they can throw a glitch td. Again, i have changed every single coaching adjustment to try to counter this and nothing, absolutely nothing, stops this.
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Set a defense man or zone. Have the offense flip their play on the field.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Coverage glitches and the offense snaps the ball
    What do you expect to see? The coverage assignments should correctly flip and the offense should not be able to snap the ball.

  • @Ship08 This is a huge issue right now. There is no fix. EA needs to patch this every single new game and they have not done so for this yet. I play people who do this every single play now as more and more people realizes how bad of a glitch this is. Its a 1 play td no matter what coaching adjustments you have toggled.
  • How did you reach out to ea? I would like to do the same because there are people who do this every single play to glitch the defense and there is no counter to it. 

  • When the offense flips a play why doesn't the defense flip with it when auto flip is turned on? Furthermore, why does the playart not reset for offense but it does with defense?

    Summarize your bug While on defense open the play art screen and move any player that has a zone/ man assignment away from their area.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? While on defense move a player away from their assignment man/zone with the play art screen is open.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The line that indicates where the player should be at during the actual play does not follow the player, but they still do their assignment. It’s very confusing when players flip plays and things like that. I have to manually refresh by opening and closing the play art.
    What do you expect to see? What should happen is that when you move a player while the play set screen is open that played assignment will follow them via a colored line depending on the zone their in.
