Defenders can finally decide. . . how to defend
We’ve said countless times throughout this article that defense haven’t changed. Well, with the exception of one major component that changes the game, we can’t be mad a EA Sports putting focus on something major this season, and building around for future installments. In the past, whenever a pass was thrown, you would have to play precise in avoiding imminent pass interference or getting beat for a deep ball.
Like the previously mentioned passing and receiving types, tight-ends will have the choice of defending the player or going for an all-out shot at the ball in the air. This should be a treat for those of you who manually control Richard Sherman, Revis Island and Vontae Davis against the best receiver on the field to make the opposing QB thinks twice of throwing the ball your way. Another thing we did notice this year is interceptions can become very common if you think fast from a tipped pass on defensive deflections.
