i can not find cover 2 buster in must jags book
It is in there.
How do you shade coverage
Triangle + down to shade underneath or Triangle + up to shade over the top.
How do you bluff blitz both linebackers quickly like in a game?
R1/RB + Down. That will blitz all your linebackers.
can u flip these plays and have pressure on the opposite sides with same setups
For the most part, yes, but not 100% of the time.
Not a single one of these I’m having success with and I have no idea why
The blitzes can get messed up if your opponent is blocking an extra guy, if they slide protect, or if they use play action.
It may have to do with the fact I’m using saints D I’m going to try a better team and see if that’s the issue
Very nice heat to mix in with coverage! Any suggestions for playing against guys who keep a tight end/running back in to block?
When I use cover 2 buster I get picked apart. Is it better to switch through different cover plays to give a different look? Or are my mut players just not good enough to cover… They are run of the mill mostly 78 rated players
How do I crash the d line?
LB/L1 + down on the right stick
Any good run stoppers out of this nickel normal formation in case they audible to a run?
We’ve got one coming in an update soon. Nickel Normal Cover 4. Base Align, and move your 2 deep safeties and a little. It does a really good job against the run but it is weak against passes.
How do i bluff blitz
A/X + Left on the right stick
