Question #1: What is your favorite way to beat Cover 3 Match?
Answer:
Cover 3 Match is a three-deep coverage with matching principles that can be tricky if you're not prepared. To beat it, use a formation with two receivers split out wide and align them on the short side of the field. Then, put the slot receiver on a streak and the outside receiver on a smoke screen.
This setup should create an easy one-play touchdown by opening up the streak over the top. Watch the video for a full breakdown!
Question #2: Can the Linchpin and Protected abilities stack?
Answer:
Yes, these abilities can stack. Linchpin boosts your offensive line's run blocking, while Protected enhances their pass blocking. When both abilities are active, you’ll receive the benefits of each, improving both your run and pass protection.
Question #3: How do you block the Dime 1-4 B-Gap Blitz?
Answer:
The most reliable way to block this blitz is by keeping a running back in to block; otherwise, your opponent will generate consistent pressure on your quarterback.
You can block your running back to either side, but it's important to use half-slide protection to ensure he picks up the intended blitzer.

Question #4: How do you make a 20/20/20 Theme Team?
Answer:
If you're building a 20/20/20 Theme Team, there are three key player programs to target:
Team Captains – When fully upgraded, they receive three team chemistry slots, each with access to all 32 teams.
Team Builders – When upgraded with a Team Builder Token, these players can receive x2 team chemistry for their designated teams.
Team Diamonds – Depending on their overall rating, these players can provide either x2 or x3 team chemistry toward your theme team.
Question #5: If you adjust an individual defender, do they remain in their original run fit?
Answer:
Yes, if you manually adjust a defender, they will remain in their original run fit assignment.
For example, in a Cover 2 defense, the outside corner is typically involved in the run fit. If you change their assignment from a Cloud Flat to a different coverage, they will still maintain their original run fit responsibility.
The only way to fully change run fit responsibilities is to audible to a different play rather than making individual adjustments.
