I don't neccasarily agree with you about passing defense. I usually have trouble stopping the pass. (In past versions) But after playing many games on the demo I can now shutdown the passing game. The difference in this years pass coverage and past years pass coverage is that you do have to mix up your coverages. (Real defensive strategies) I've effectively used both man and zone coverage. But individual assignments would be a great addition to the game. However, if you do have too much trouble stopping the passing game just tinker with the sliders a little bit. I hope you don't pass on this year's game. It's more than a knotch above last year's game. You would be missing out.
