Not entirely sure this isn't already "in the game" but definitely has not happened a few times in recent games, so...

Have Zone Coverage Defenders Anticipate and Meet Incoming Receivers on the Zone border.

Seems to me that now, at least at times, the Zone Defender will run to the middle of his zone and then not move to an incoming receiver until that receiver crosses the zone border.

Thats dumb, and not effective.

Instead have the zone defender begin to watch receivers as they approach, anticipate with a vision check which one will enter the zone first and move to meet it at the zone border.

Failed Vision check means it either picks the wrong one or doesn't commit at all.

If its unable to tell which one will it could either pick one randomly or not commit.

And yes if it commits and the route turns before entering, he got deked and would have to rethink when the turn takes place.

But its better than sitting in zone and watching a lone receiver run towards the zone and make a catch in the zone before the defender even moves to make a play.

This is how real zone defenders play, would be nice if zone acted that way in GLb.

+1 as long as there's a Vision check, and not one that's that easy to pass.

I would suggest the difficulty of the check vary by the number of receivers heading toward the zone.

If there is one wideout running a deep route and the zone defender is deep middle, then the check should be a formality.

If its a five wide streaks, harder.

And if the zone is an inside under with drags and hooks coming in from all around, then that might be a tough check indeed.

I'm not sure if they do this already, but it would be nice to have if they didn't

also to make them move into the throwing lane, and not just run straight toward them and getting burned because they'd have to 180 later...
