So in other words you only want the the man coverage for both the defensive backs and the linebackers

Then the flip side is running zone against both those formations again the pass and get beat up.

So which playbook offers the best selection of man coverage, man vs man heavy, or pass focused?

Since your base defense will never get called for overuse -- see the Cover1/Cover2 thread -- it doesn't matter which playbook you have if you are going to run a lot of base. If not, I prefer either the 3-4 or 4-3 blitz heavy M2M books because then you can have an assortment of blitz plays to use against the run.

First, the strategy: Only use defensive plays that go M2M against WR1 – WR5.[/quote]

[quote]Second, the two rules: Create a rule for the passing only offensive sets that uses dime and quarter defenses and set it to pass key. Then create a rule for the goal line offensive sets that uses normal defensive backfield and blitzes 1 or 2 LBs 100% of the time.


Where can i find Cover 5 def plays?
This means, that i should not have Zone and ZoneIn Plays in the matrix, right?

Can anyone pls send a screenshot how the 1st rule setting it should look like? There are a lot options in that rule section..

Also include extra point in the rule, I have it here but you can't see it. Just in case someone runs a 2 point conversion.

M2M wihtout Zone is quite risky as far as i can see in the last 2 games.. :-)

Thats 101% if you add up all the numbers for your secondary. is this just a mistake, or doesn't it really matter for the game?

The game doesn't care. There are a lot of 100s that add up beyond 100.
