Question 1 of 2 - Is Reinforcement better than Universal Coverage

Reinforcement gets all KOs, plus better block shedding on run plays - but doesn't give you the reaction boost of individual Zone KOs or One Step Ahead?

Universal Coverage gets all KOs - but I dont see any mention if it gives reaction boosts or not?

Reading the descriptions, it sounds like Zone Hawk would give you the reaction boost from individual Zone Kos, so you would need Universal Coverage as ability and Zone Hawk as XFactor?

Then shutdown would give you the reaction boost from individual Man boosts such as One Step Ahead?

Does Man Route KOs not provide any coverage boost, so you need one step ahead paired with man route KOs?

UC gives one step ahead. Reinforcement does not. For that reason UC will always beat out reinforcement for DBs.

Care to site a source on this?

I dont think it does either

UC only provides knockouts, but no improved Zone or Man Reactions

Shutdown would the XFactor more similar to One Step Ahead

If UC Provided one step ahead, Shutdown would be worthless

UC does provide zone break on ball bonuses. But there isn’t a break on ball bonus for man, it’s ’break on cut’ basically (one step ahead) and im fairly sure  that isn’t in UC

I'm not going to say Zan is the end all be all but he made a video in which he talks about UC essentially being OSA with every KO.

Lmao that doesn’t explain jack

Many have said UC includes reaction time, but I notice Nnamdi struggle at times or be a few steps behind  despite  UC and being on a max TT.

i have reinforcement on GT Willis and it’s alright. I don’t really notice the run shedding.  his KOs activate from MIZKO. he’s rarely in position to KO via reinforcement  bc of normal reaction time

imo, UC > on CB/Safties

Reinforcement is universal without the reaction time. If you stack reinforcement with mid you’ll get that plus the better run play.

That only gives you better reaction time in the mid zone.

Reinforcement gives you all the knockouts (zone and man) but no boost to reaction time from normal zone KOs and it does not include one step ahead. It also gives you better block shedding on run plays. 

Universal coverage is all the KOs (zone and man) with the boosted reaction time from normal zone KOs but still does not include one step ahead.
