Man or zone?

my defensive strategy has mostly been bend don’t break and letting y opponent make a mistake I find this has been better in zone coverage for me

Nickle 2-4 is awesome 👌.  3-3 is in the multi defense book

Ya i love it I really only use nickel 2-4

Honestly for most of the year I ran zone but slowly as my corners and safety’s got faster I transitioned to man and now just run whatever the hell I want because who gives a crap at this point in the year

Kinda do the same i just mess around with universal coverage

well I'm not any good either.  but for  ps4 and I'm pretty sure it is the same as Xbox  . pre snap on Defense press the button to bring up coverage adjustments. for me it's triangle. for Xbox I'm not sure. and hit  the right joystick in the direction you want to shade .

before you try running this coverage in H2H you might want to practice it first. you can get burned very easy. Goodluck!!!

I tried to post this once already but dont know what happened. Im new around here so that may have something to do with it. But basically what I said was that I keep hearing names, schemes, abilities, etc. But I have yet to hear anyone mention the new Chris McAllister Ultimate MB. I run mostly man and put OSA + PA on him and he just goes absolutley nuts. 2,3 sometimes 4 picks a game. if they throw toward him. It doesnt even seem fair. He goes out there an loses his damn mind. lol.

I run cover 2 out of dollar and sometimes switch to zero blitz when I want pressure and cover 4 drop contain when I'm trying to hold them max sting is also a hella fun play you user the he DT I have so many picks with Jason Witten DT people rage so hard when you come of the line and pick them off

what if your getting ran on by Eric Damn Dickerson.  i just got my ass handed to me in Dollar 32 😆 maybe my team is just not stout enough. I almost had to buy myself a new controller

is shading when I move my players left right front back with my left joy stick? And my right joy stick is guess play. Is that the same for you?

Press the right stick down and it will bring a menu up press the d pad to the left for d line adjustments like pinching or spreading press the d pad right for line backers to pinch or spread press Y or triangle to do the secondary then it will bring up a menu on the right side it will say Inside outside overtop or underneath on the left you can press give cusion base align and one other thing I'm forgetting if you press X on Xbox or square in PS it bring up audibles these change based on your formation 

And if you press A or X on playstation you can choose to man up or change the zone that a individual player is in

If they run on me I switch to spiner or zero blitz and it stops the run well but people don't run a ton in veteran league everyone just spams gun tight bunch and I run out a coach suggestions

Both. Not sure why so many only run one or the other. But mixed coverages do wonders for a gameplan.

If you run into a good player having mixed coverage will limit your KO abilities making it easy to attack a certain area of the field, so that's probably why people primarily like to choose just one type of coverage

I get it with the abilities and all, but if your DBs are good enough they can still play both. I have DOZKO on both corners but also still play plenty of man. 
 

Looking at it as an opponent, if you run only one coverage, it’s not a matter of if I find a counter, it’s when. And when I do it’s gonna ggs. 
 

Mixed coverages keeps people guessing and often leads to many turnovers. For me personally anyways. I see it once a game where clearly my opponent thinks I’m playing a different coverage and it forces some awful throws. I’m not pro makin money off the game but I win enough to feel confident in what I’m doin. Try it out fellas.

no matter how you get there.  as long as your in Coverage adjustments that's where you can shade
