Just unlocked Deion Sanders! Acrobat 5 AP, Deep Zone KO 2

would you use either of these abilities?

Me personally, no. Acrobat for 5 AP is too expensive. I have it on Ed Reed and Aeneas for 2 AP each. I also run a man scheme so I would rather go with deep route KO. Deep zone KO is a good choice if you run zone

i've had Deion since last Friday, and i highly recommend going for the swat unless you have perfect position for a pick. You should probably doing that for all your DB's anyway, but Primetime has gotten burned a few times when i went for the pick. I've also noticed he plays way better in man than in zone, which kinda sucks because i run mostly zone.

He's a man archetype. Running zone with him you are going to get less effective play. Also, how are your coaching adjustments set on ball in air? default, plays ball, plays receiver, etc?

ah yes you're right, i forgot he's a man archetype. i usually always set it to "play ball", isn't that the best for zone? i figured "play receiver" is more for man coverage.

I thought "play ball" was the best because you figure they'd go for the ball but I watched some of the Madden pros, like Henry, who has the best Defense in Madden...he runs "play receiver"....since I started doing that I find more success. Give it a try and see if it works out for you

do you sort by speed or height?

ive tried both i think i get burned more often on speed believe it or not - that 20 yard vertical route the cpu runs where they just jump straight up on a dime and snag it

Neither. I leave my CBs where they are. I find sorting them in coaching adjustments doesn't always work out too well, but that's just me

I've had luck switching to play ball when in zone and play receiver when in man (essentially taking less of a chance when in cover 0 scenarios).

I most certainly will. Thank ya sir!

since getting deion the biggest thing ive noticed is womack totw to 2nd cb and he is thriving there; got 4 picks in 2 solo battles

i just put him at FS with 1 AP Pick Artist

Put it on "swat ball", have tip drill on everyone, shade underneath.  That ball gets knocked in the air, i almost always get a pick
