It's EA. Think about if you are a DE. And you have to run 20 yards to the left to cover a flat or spy Lamar. You think you can handle a guy coming at you run blocking? No. No. No. So EA in older games penalizing spies and putting lineman in coverage. I used to run draws against these defenses against the top pros. It's too unpredictable now. I see a guy with a 4 man line, spy two guys. I might get 12-15 yards one play and the next my lineman trip over themselves, the spies float back then 100 miles an hour at my RB for 3 yards. EA needs to bring back the pancakes. I don't need the whole line pancaked. I need the spy or DE in ridiculous coverage.
Yeah there’s absolutely zero penalty to that defense. The zone drops are even playing routes inside the numbers out of their depth. It’s not impossible to beat, it’s actually easier as the game goes because you find out what works but the fact that’s it’s being used again this year by even more people is ridiculous.
Every. Single. Game. Like it’s not even fun at this point lol. Like what kind of psychopath buys an ebook or studies YouTube videos to come play like that in a game that means absolutely nothing. I understand the pros doing it since they win money in tournaments but damn a regular person just doing it. Can’t believe it’s still happening after all these years.
