Corners following motion while in Zone

Yesterday I was playing MUT, and the guy I was playing against kept motioning his receiver and it would move my corner even though I was in a cover 3 zone. This left one side of my defense completely open. I'm just wondering if anybody else has had this problem.

it happens sometimes to me too, just audible your zone when it happens to counter it

I'm assuming when you say your corner is moving when the receiver is motioned, that you mean the corner is following the motioned receiver like they're manned up on them? There are a few things I know of that can cause this.

1. You had man alignment on from your coaching options.
2. You accidentally clicked man alignment while making pre-snap adjustments
3. There used to be a glitch where the offense would motion and corners would still move even in zone. I'm fairly certain that was patched either early this year or last year. Maybe that glitch is back, but not as common?

Sometimes a corner will move inside in zone if the motion causes there to be no receivers on that half of the field or move outside if there were no receivers on that side of the field and the motion adds a receiver to that side.

Coach adjustments

Base Align

that will fix it for you.

Yeah it’s not patched anymore, safeties will move with a defender in zone with no coach adjustments/pre-snap adjustments. I base align every game. Otherwise some of these H2H guys will move your safeties every play.

Thanks, I'll try this out today

Thanks for your help, I'll make sure I adjust to base align

Gotta Base-Align in Coach Adjusments.
