zone vs speed

i think as we see more and more players get to 99 or close to 99 speed this is going to be a problem.

there is already a LARGE number of players that either get bailed out or scored on because they dont understand the zone rules of the coverage they are using. ( blame ea somewhat for not listing these for people. we have madden "veterans who still dont know what a 3-4 vs 4-3 is).

there are some absolutely nuts breaks on the ball from these high speed defenders that punish outplays instead of rewarding them. it was already bad enough when they were slow with zones not dropping down or swapping from zone to match man and back to zone in both cases being baited by the ai.

speed alone is taking away things that should be open and taking the passing skill, reads, scheming things open away from us.

yet more EA basing the entire game around speed and taking more and more skill out of the game.

Quote from killiqanisland >> I’ve noticed this recently. Guys are loading the box to defend the run and at the snap outside linebackers are flying to the sideline defending short out Routes due to having high zone, high speed and play rec. 

In regs it’s not nearly as effective so I don’t think it’s a “Madden” problem. But when you have all these high overall players out there it’s going to be like that. 

If if you play DC or Salady Cap things like this aren’t nearly as bad and gameplay is actually a lot better. 

noticed the same thing
