Can't make zones in special teams

While trying to make zones for special teams defensive plays (FG block/return, punt return) to defend my fake FG/punt plays, I saw the buttons in the bottom left of the PDS for zones, but when I hit the add button nothing appeared. Is this intended, and is there anyway this could be fixed down the line?

Hey DTVT, I tried this and cant make them either. It shows a count of zones each time you hit the +, but I dont see the actual zone to work with it.
I will point David to this thread if he hasnt already seen it, see what he has to say about it.

I got the same thing too with zone count. Thanks for passing the info on to David.

Just to note here, I usually do not have zones set up in real world punt return plays. The players have assignments for eligible receivers, which is basically a Man/Key scheme.
Have you found that using Man or Read commands do not work well against you fake punt and kick plays?

They work sometimes, but sometimes zone is preferred, as zone defenses are used to better cover superior talent. I also have fake plays which are difficult to defend with man defenses, but could easily be defended with zone.

I've enabled the zones on FG and Punt Returns for the build the testers have just received. They'll need to go through it to ensure that change is not introducing any other problems.
thanks
David

Great news David. I figured it was more of an oversight than intentionally done.
