Universal Coverage, Shutdown what's going on here?

So people have very different opinions on this. So in my experience:

Shutdown: seems to be one step on crack. A lotta times the db is glued to his target. And they go for the int all the time. I don't mean it's just pick artist. They often undercut the route to get the pick. Way more than without shutdown.

Universal coverage: I think this comes down to a weird phrasing in the description. In my experience it's all knockouts. Man and zone. Also faster reaction time from the zone knockouts. But not onestep. The thing is. Man knockouts don't have better reaction. Zone knockouts do.

What's your experience?

Universal coverage is supposed to be all KOs and Reaction boosts...basically all Zone Kos + One Step Ahead - but no bottleneck or pick artist

Shutdown is One Step Ahead + Pick Artist, but only works in man

.

If your DBs are glued to WRs, its probably a combination of the  one step ahead component of Shutdown working really well - or maybe just a DB with high man ratings playing really well - but theres no man coverage advantage from shutdown over universla coverage

If you put Lurker on DBs and undershade coverage, they also undercut the ball a lot more, regardless of having Shutdown/One Step Ahead

.

But in summary...Universal coverage has everything shutdown has...except pick artist

With Universal coverage + Pick Artist....you dont need shutdown
