I see you're having the same troubles I'm having with close coverage, as evidenced by plays like this: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=106016&pbp_id=1201498

Does anybody know what is going on with plays like that?

The WR cut and you couldn't stop quickly enough? Invest in more Agility and/or Change Direction.

Is change direction really helpful? I havent heard any CBs even acknowledge it heavily.

I need help with something. Im assuming the QB pump faked here, but how would I counter that?

I have vision soft capped and quite a few points in super vision, I doubt that's the problem.

I did a dump of the whole live database, so I'm able to test with any currently live teams (well, at least as they existed a day ago).

I've found a few things so far:

Fast CB's back up too fast compared to slow WR's on streak routes, due to the fact their their acceleration is a constant. I've made them match acceleration in this case and it seems to work so far. I've put a 20 speed 20 agility guy against a 70 speed 50 agility CB and the CB is all over him in general.

Agile WR's don't have a way to fake out equally agile CB's and get open. I'm increasing the effect of the head fake and juke SA's, and adding some reduced reaction time for defenders based on vision and agility and coverage distance. The result is that on some plays the CB will stay with the WR and on others he will not make the turn with the receiver until a split second too late.

CB's were basically getting an immediate jump on the ball when thrown. I'm adding a delay on the jump based on vision agility and coverage distance. The result is that sometimes the CB gets a great jump on the ball and knocks it down while other times he waits a split second too long and doesn't get there in time. Combined with the above = botched coverage, basically.

Fast CB's with poor agility playing on close vs Fast WR's often dash forward at the snap to get within the "close" cushion and are then unable to turn around quick enough to keep up with the speedy WR. I've made them back up a little at the snap instead and wait for the WR to make his move.

QB's with decent vision hardly ever miss an open man on a checkdown, which means they will ALWAYS take advantage of the situation. I'm making them slightly more likely to miss the open guy unless they have really high vision.

Risk calculations did not take the catching ability of the receiver into account as a very big part of the calculation. Being open is the major part. I'm tweaking that a little to be willing to pass to a guy if he's just way better than his defender, even if he's not wide open.

Anyway, just an update because I know people are waiting on this and I wanted to let everybody know I'm working on it. I want to make sure it's right before pushing it out there, though!

Could be the QB put lots of points into Pump Fake? Since i started doing that (last season) my Qb put up some damn good numbers

Your QB Rating is 58.4 this year. You haven't even thrown a TD - in 2 games.

I hate to see what you call bad numbers.
