Short in Elite? Not working on TE

I felt like this recently too, it seems like it only lights up against man. I think we may just be noticing it more now because zone is more prevalent than ever. But I went into practice mode and can't get any short ins to light up against zone.

The better route running part only activates against man coverage. That is a proven fact. The improved catching will activate regardless of coverage, provided it’s within the short in area.

Madden is so inconsistent during practice was just hitting him right after his break between the two hashes no lights against live player who tried to jumped it the second time had to hold and then threw it to him between the numbers and the hash imagine my surprise when I get a light up on catch. So I went back to practice. Short in elite light s up only between the hash and the numbers. But between the two hashes I'm getting nothing

Interesting. I'll have to check that out too if that's true. That's such a glitch. It must have been accidentally nerfed in the last patch because it didn't use to be like that

If that were true, shouldn't I see it light up during the catch animation because it used to and now it doesn't.

Interesting, I do feel that it’s lit up less than it should for me recently. Maybe that’s EA nerfing it, or just another glitch.

Yeah that's what I noticed. You get no lights on any sort of short in route which is the whole point of the power up. 

You will notice though that if you accidentally overthrow him he won't jump for the ball when you press triangle because he doesn't have that ability and that's a deal breaker for me cuz it can easily save you from a pic

Lol had to give you an update took fearless off of Drew bledsoe to put short in on Herman Moore first game under pressure overthrow to hill for a pick. He just watched the ball go over his head.

I told you that's a deal breaker for me. Zach Ertz can do aggressive catches and dominates who cares if his short and elite costs one AP.
