My coverage sucks.

[jaybird2585]

Need help with my coverage online. I like to run 2 man under. Only problem is that no matter what I do with my DBs, they always get beat. For some reason I can't cover a simple out route, it is always open. My DBs never stay with the receivers, as soon as they make a move, I'm automatically beat. But when I'm on offense, the opponents D sticks like glue, no separation. What is the problem here, I play with a few different team, and same problem every game. Any help?

Shouldn't the CB at least be able to stay with him. Its not even close though, my CB is still backing up when the ball is caught. What would you suggest I run than, because I've tried zone and it is just as useless.

Running the right zones can easily stop deep outs, and man coverage destroys short outs. If you run a zone coverage with pink zones on the sidelines, deep outs = interceptions. Also, short outs are actually almost impossible to run when in man coverage because if the defender is near the WR he can warp to the ball 90% of the time when it's thrown.

Okay, well what about my DBs simply not being able to keep up. I'll check the speed, and it'll be close to the WRs speed. But if they run any kind of a route where they make a cut, My guys have no chance at making a play on the ball.

That's odd, because NCAA 13's route mirroring is intense.

I know, My WRs can't get a step against man, but my Dbs constantly get beat. Just wondering, what D do you run for Man?

I think I'm with the other 99% who use mainly cover 2 man. I feel that cover 1 man is just too easy to abuse with verts and speed mismatches. A cover 1 robber is sometimes fun to throw in if you're getting enough pressure.
