Coach Mode Defense Bug
This is a request to fix a very specific issue with regard to coach mode (automatic passing/running/defenders) and not a broad complaint.
The issue is:
If any player other than a defensive lineman is selected when the ball is snapped then you must control that player or they will sit there and do nothing. Since the game does not default to a defensive lineman the user must remember to make this switch multiple times during a game.
In practice this results in multiple plays where the user forgets to switch players and then watches an undefended receiver run down the field and score a touchdown. This is game breaking for people that want to play with coach mode.
A simple fix for this would be to either change the default selected player to a defensive lineman or make the selected defender reliably automated when no input is given. Please help, this has driven me from the game completely after 8 franchise games where this has been an issue every single time.

if i dont get delay of time.. snapping takes over play i quess , what am i missing
Please don't confuse the very real problem I have mentioned with an option that is unnecessarily buried in layers of menus.
@EA_Roger @EA_Cian @EA_David @EA_Lanna @EA_KRAELO Someone please make EA aware of this very basic problem. Defenders just sitting there and letting receivers run wide open down the field is still a game breaking issue for anyone trying to play in coach mode. This could easily be fixed by making the default player a lineman at the start of every play.
