I played someone and their first 3 possessions they had huge one play touchdowns. I mean my ZCV wasnt even close. I usually run mainly ZCV but this guy scorched me like I've never been scorched. I was down 23-10 at one point, I settled for a FG and had to punt and they scored to start the 3rd to make it 23-10. I scored to make it 23-17 and had no other choice but to play mcv and once I did that they never scored again and I won 24-23. I'll play mcv maybe 20% of the time and had no other option but to try mcv and user the player that was supposed to blitz. My thing is how did they scorch ZCV so badly? Cover 3,cover 4,cover 6 this person destroyed them all. Im on old gen and I know ZCV is kind of soft this year but his wrs were wide open. At least with mcv you know where your defender is going to be and what to expect from them. My opponent played mcv just about every play but I didnt really have a problem against it once I got rolling in the second half. That might of been the best online madden game I've ever played. Its feels good to make adjustments and come back to win a game. I might have to start playing more mcv cause zcv on old gen at least is really starting to get exploited.
I almost never run man because I can’t stand it when my corners get beat on every route that goes across the middle of the field. My corners are good too, I have Slay, Sanders, and St Juste. I almost never blitz either and I get plenty of pressure from my front 4. I always start the game off in cover 6 and depending on the offensive formation I will either use my Hicks/Samurai with Lurker or a safety with pick artist. As someone who never really ushered until last year, Ive gotten really good at it and now I just rac up INT’s
Well zone is easy to kill because it's one player being responsible for each zone and if they get beat in a zone or if two or more players are in their zone... they can't play 3 players at one time. The best way to play is MCV and ZCV...mix it up alot but no too much... I'm somewhat struggling with the same thing except I'm on next Gen... Again, Cover 3,6,and 2 are EASY to beat especially if they can read coverage...

I run zone probably 95% of all my games. If you‘re getting beat often in zone, there is one simple adjustment that you can make and it will make a huge difference and eliminate big gains. Once the game starts, go to coaching adjustments, at the very bottom of the list is an adjustment for overall zone coverage, instead of default, set it to “match”. Your defenders will then match the receivers route depth.

I don’t know if this adjustment is on old gen, if it is, it will make a difference for you. When the game starts, go to coaching adjustments. At the bottom of the list is an adjustment for overall zone coverage, change it from default to “match”. your defenders will match the receivers route depth. You wont give up as many big plays and you’ll always have someone close to the receive to make a play on the ball.
The people who know how to run beaters are super difficult to beat.
I personally can’t run man very often because my CBs will get beat one on one. But in H2H I’ll switch it up and user the SubLB to help cover the primary read in man coverage.
