Zone Defenders in the Redzone are broken - Defenders dont chase after scramble QB

I like to play a zone defense in the Red Zone with DBs covering the flats, and dont really run man as crosser routes beat them in the Redzone

However, I noticed if a mobile QB like Doug Williams will scramble, my zone defenders will simply stand their in the endzone, not leaving their zones and let the QB run for a TD

If I'm lucky, I can try to switch my user and then make a tackle attempt on the QB - but often times it will switch my user to like a DLineman no where near the QB running

But why would my DBs just stand there in their zones and let a QB run in for a score? That would NEVER happen in real football

You have to click your right stick in to send your db to the qb of you want them to leave their zone.

Just be careful, you don't want to send them too soon and leave your zone exposed. Iusually send them when I notice the qb rollout if I can get my user to cover that vacant spot for anyone who runs into the zone.
