Defensive Positioning

[keithblythe]

I would like the defense be able to disguise the coverage. i.e. give the look of a zone defense but run man 2 man (or the other way around.) This will make it more difficult to choose the correct audible for human coaches.

Keith, I could envision something like "Line Up on Man" in Pre-Snap, making it look like M2M, then falling back into Zone coverage with the snap, but I am not sure how you would do the reverse!  Zone defense becomes M2M when the Receiver gets into the Zone anyway.  I have yet to get that deep into the game, but I am hoping that there are at least two kinds of Zone Defenses; first, where the defender is covering a specified area and pursues the Receiver when he enters that Zone; second, where the defender remains stationary {stays at home} until the ball is thrown or the QB hands off, then reacts.  Third, and probably best, would be a stationary Zone for some number of seconds where the defender would respond if the ball is thrown, or the QB hands off, then "read" what is going on and reacts.

Use "Key on" to cover M2M without moving over the player they are covering.

I have asked for the ability to have defensive "motion" to disguise blitzes and coverage.
 
I'm not really sure what it would take to add that, and I am not sure if it is on the "to-do" list.
