I am just started out and have only been playing a week. Overall my team is a 93 on a NMS in just 5-6 days. Already filled with some rage moment so probably good I didnt get into thie game all year. But I tried using cover 2 zone and the Cloud Flats do not play as well as in Madden 22. Do you agree with this? It seems the hole between the Cloud and Deep half is more easily exploited this year. Even when I set my Clouds on 30 they leave a big hole in the defense. Is this accurate for me to say or was it because my CB's maybe were rated to low at the time of me trying Cover 2 Zone?

Since I did not have great success with Cover 2 Zone, I switched to Cover 3 and 4. When using Cover 3 i watch the seam that is easily exploited by usering the S or LB on that side. I am using zone because right now my players just arent fast enough on Man. Although I do run man against some opponents who do not have faster guys than my secondary. I do mix it up. 

I was wondering if someone can tell me why Deep In Zone KO is not preferred over Deep Out Zone KO since Deep IN works on everything inside the numbers according to Huddle.GG. That only leaves a very small amount of field for a QB to target. 

Also, when my team is good enough do you recommend man vs. zone? I find the META is man coverage, but I can beat man rather easily if my WR's have equal or greater speed than my opponent. Is Man Coverage the META because a lot of players do not know how to beat it?

Thanks for any response.

Here is my defense.....

I am open to recommendations. Not sure If I should get rid of Peppers or Curl and play Ed Reed at Safety. I like Peppers because he is tall. Also, My two LB's both have Lurker on them and I user Deablo. 

At Some point I am going to grab Warren Sapp for his 1 AP Inside Stuff.  But with running Dollar and 1 DT Peters works out. 

Also, is the Combine 97 set where I get 3 BND 95 Combine players worth it? The Corners do not seem like much of an upgrade. Byron Jones over my Stingley I guess? I do not think it is worth it for me but I get the cards free because I can complete the set. But I just like how my team is playing right now. Been winning a lot and in legend tier.

I may be wrong, but I think the general consensus is that Deep In Zone KO does NOT work, and if it does, it's very erratic. Deep Out works well enough in my experiences.

As far as man vs. zone, I like to mix them up, but it sucks cause it's hard to have abilities for both equipped. I will never stick with just one, but I do have Deep Out Zone KO on my outside CBs (mainly cause it's the only real option for one, so I put it on the other as well). Pick Artist seems to do well enough in other situations.
