Defenders leaving receivers open

[osley17]

Even after the Sept 8th update, I'll consistently have defenders blowing off their man coverage and blitz. This leaving the receivers wide open.

Are you sure you all aren't accidentally selecting the stick and making an adjustments. Other players reported this in the EA Madden forums and came to realization this was due to user error.

When defenders are covering a zone, space or man, when the QB goes to throw the ball the game moves that player out of their position/zone or man coverage and makes them run towards the computer.  9 times out of 10, the player that is being moved is leaving his spot and the computer is now throwing to that empty spot.  Can you look into why this is happening? It doesn't make sense why someone who is yards away from the QB will leave a man or coverage to start running towards the QB.

[Alphaten]

I'm still having this issue as well.  I'm not controlling that player and they are leaving/moving out of their zone so the receiver is left open.  It's frustrating that your coverage is moving when it shouldn't be.  If you need video footage, please let me know.  i can record a clip and post it in here.

[Alphaten]

As you can see my player highlighted (Harris the linebacker) is playing a Hook/Curl Zone.  The clip below shows him leaving the zone and rushing to the QB who is 15 yards away.  He runs to the QB as the QB is about to throw the ball... keep in mind the QB is 15 yards away.  Logic would have him stay in zone and cover the receiver. However, he runs towards the QB and leaves his zone so the CPU can complete a pass.  This happens way too often.

Here is a clip - It's about a minute long (the last half of the clip is me replaying the issue) - https://youtu.be/NFFZP3yvY94

@Alphaten Thanks for the example, that was a little strange.

What are the stats on that linebacker, OVR and awareness? I'm almost like the player was going to intercept the pass and suddenly gave up.

Does it always happen on that Cover 4 play?
