[Gameplay] Zone Coverage is broken

Hello, 

im sure you heard this already but a huge bug is curl flats playing delay routes and not play their zone. It leaves a huge gap in coverage. I’ve tested this out a few times and it’s something you can easily take advantage of. 

It happens on the PA boot over play or the delay fade meta and it happens on designed rb delay fades, especially if you hot route two routes that go to the sideline where the curl flat is supposed to play.

I know you guys intend on fixing zones but please make sure that this is taken care of.

Y’all make it impossible to play zone coverage. In this video how is a 3 deep coverage the deepest you can go get beat deep. You got a deep blue playing a drag route and forgetting his main responsibilities. This also happens a lot in the enzone a deep blue playing a flat and leave the corner route wide open for a TD.  I thought this patch was going to fix that 

Make one of the deep blues main jobs is not to get beat deep. I understand that there are 4 different deep blues and they all do different things (inside quarter, middle third, outside third, deep half)  but not one get back in the deepest coverage in the game.  This have been a complaint by 100% of the community since day one and yet y’all out here patching RPO 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 Listen to the community 

All the QB has to do is throw to the outside receiver and it is a touch down every time if you are not usering. The corners do not react at all!

Bro its bad, cover 4 deep blues a WR will cut right in front of said blue zones they never even react to the WR until the ball is caught.... This game has so many issues between disengage blitzes, or lineman not even trying to react. A DB can blitz with contain and just strafe around the RB or Tackle.... This game is beyond bad and EA should be ashamed.

Summarize your bug Zone coverages arn't playing as they should. This is most noticable in cover 4 out of any set. Deep defenders who should be playing the deep zones are matching short routes and not playing back. This happens with all 4 DB's frequently in cover 4. I find i'll have a double covered TE running an out route and the WR running a corner or post is left open. This also occurs with mid and hook zones in cover 2 and cover 3. The LB or Safety will match a reciever running a drag and carry it alway to the side line instead of passing coverage to the next defender.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm playing franchise mode offline as the raiders. I have videos I will upload when I am able to get them off my system.
What happens when the bug occurs? Defenders match up when they are playing a zone they are not supposed to match in. This leaves sections of the field open as they zone defender has abandoned his assignment.
What do you expect to see? Zones playing correctly

Hey, everyone.

In case you missed it, Clint came on Good Morning Madden to discuss pass coverage concerns.

Thanks for the periodic updates. I'm playing on Xbox Series X and the gameplay has been mostly enjoyable; however, can you please fix the User's linebacker's zone and man coverage? This is the biggest issue for me when playing defense, including Cover 3. I play with the 49ers and typically control the D-Line. In zone coverage, my linebackers mostly cover air or are outside of their zone assignments and not tagging a WR/TE, or when they happen to be in a position to make a play on a thrown ball, they don't react and the CPU always catches. I've played about 30-40 games thus far and have zero interceptions with my team's linebackers and maybe 2 deflections from tipped balls. Can't speak for other teams since I've only used the 49ers, but this is unrealistic as Fred Warner is arguably the best cover linebacker in the game, and it's reflected in his zone and man attributes. He matches up well against TE's and even some WRs in real life and it's frustrating getting beat on every coverage in madden. Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw are great coverage LBs and I can't make any plays with them. I played games last night after the Cover 3 title update, and the coverage seemed even worse to me.

This would open up the full defensive playbook if reconciled. Please relay this feedback. Thanks!

trying to play mut online and people are destroying me, throwing towards the sideline and my secondary WILL NOT cover the receivers, no matter what play I call, man or zone, whether I pressure the qb or not, the receivers are left wide open. both safeties (both high overall) will stand back as a receiver is left wide open right in front of them. This feels so glitchy, I've been playing madden for over 20 years and never dealt with this bs. I even tell my defense its a pass and play is to the outside through the pre snap menu and they still leave these guys wide open. I cant get to the qb even though I have legendary bosses on both edges rushing the QB, QB's glide around the pocket and backfield waiting for a reciver to get open, my secondary won't cover the receiver right in front of them. 

I have good players, what the f is going on. I'm losing to players that run the same play, over and over and over, wtf man. lol 

HOW CAN I STOP PASSES TOWARDS THE SIDELINE?! its not once and a while, its all game, every game. Using giants defense, John Lynch, Minkah Fitzpatrick at safety, Patrick peterson, Jaycee Horn and Byron whatever (totw card) at corner, Kam Chancellor sometimes as subLB. 

Why does a post corner have an outside third automatically bite down? Its just like the wheel route glitch but now with a post corner on the outside letting a slot streak WR go right by him. Will this get patched?
