Individual Coverages

[:1]Hey guys, SnA ExclusiVe here. I just wanted to post this because I know it slipped my mind when the game came out, but remember, you can now do Individual Coverages on defense. This means that you can spotlight (yes, the spotlight is back) one WR and control how the DB over him plays against him.

Let's run through this for those who don't know what I'm talking about or haven't experimented with it yet.

First of all, to get to the Individual Coverage menu, hit up the d-pad, then hit A (X on PS3), then select the receiver you want to alter the coverage to, then here are your options:

Left on D-Pad: Shades your DB to the WR's left side, preventing slant routes or inside routes.

Right on D-Pad: Shades your DB to the WR's right side, preventing go routes, fade routes, etc.

Up on D-Pad: Backs your defender off, playing it safe (this is useful against guys like Andre Johnson who excel at beating the press)

Down on D-Pad: Presses your CB. This is good if you have one corner (like Jimmy Smith on the Ravens) who excels at Press Coverage and you want to press only one receiver.

Hitting the A (X on PS3) button from this same screen spotlights the receiver also.

One last thing, if you are in zone coverage and want to quickly assign your DB's to man coverage on a receiver, use the following combination:

Up, A, (receiver button), and then either left or right on the D-pad. I prefer to use left for the RCB (Right corner on your screen) and left for the LCB (Left corner on your screen). You can also then either press or back off your corners after doing this, and the rest of your defense will remain in their zone coverage.

Any comments, questions or anything like that I'd be happy to answer and if you guys need pictures or videos just let me know |||I'm surprised you're the first person to post anything on this. I kept hearing people wanting it put in the game and then I hear nothing after the game comes out about it actually being in the game.|||Wow i didn't even notice this was in the game Nice post.|||I been one of those vouching for this. I'm glad it's back. Looks like i'll have to put it to work in the lab as see how it works now.|||This is something I did not know about either.|||thanks. I was wondering how to do that. I heard it was in the game, but saw it nowhere in the in-game manual.|||THANK YOU!!! I've always wanted this & when I clicked on this thread I thought this was a wishlist thread rather than you saying it was already in the game|||
