  • @McSnackyz When and if you ever get an answer let me know? I use them exclusively to pass and the WR’s are never open but the TE’s are!
  • I've found in PvP that on 3rd & short or 4th & short situations, most people have plays dialed up to stop the run.  These tend to be man coverage, w/ a stacked box.  Because you're generally rushing 7+, with 4 or less in man coverage, the TE runs a free route up the middle.  To combat this, I would suggest either

    A.  Run a zone coverage that has deep coverage

    B.  Run a man coverage that has >4 defensive players in coverage 

    I personally try to make sure that all of my man coverages have >4 defenders in man to man to avoid getting burned.  They will match up to the TEs in the formation if the offense is in a 2 TE set, or match up to the WRs, TE, HB, or even the FB depending on the formation.  So in most formations for a running play, you'll get a DB/LB assigned to the HB as a safety net.  They might get the first down, but they won't likely break it off for a TD.  Also, if you don't have great DBs, then zone coverages will probably work better.

    Below are some of the plays that meet those criteria: (Zone Man)

    • 3 Deep Under
    • Flat Buzz
    • Jam Cover 1
    • Sam Blitz
    • Cover 2 Man
    • DBL TE Bracket
    • OLB Fire Man
    • Will Sam 3
    • Over Storm Brave (Not entirely sure about this one bc the DB is on the opposite side of the formation, not sure how that would work in-game...  If he has to sprint out across the formation to catch the TE, it might not work, but the game might have him flip sides?  Not sure)
