Gamespot's "On The Spot" with NCAA Football 12 - Video & Recap

[JeffHCross]

In real life teams align their defense based on the strength of the formation. If I were EA, I'd be starting there and thinking of ways to replicate the decision keys that real players use when determining where they should line up.

Yes, but that strength doesn't always mean the two target side, or the slot receiver side. Some teams (and coaches) call strength to the wide side of the field, for example. Other teams declare formations "balanced" in different ways.

Anyway, my primary point is that there's no 100% right answer. There are times you would want it to automatically flip. There are others you wouldn't. Hence my question.

the solution would be the man lock feature imo.

Man Lock is automatically on, but it only applies to zone. I assume you're meaning that it should automatically apply to zone and autoflip, then?

This is why I think the weakside/strongside approach would work. You don't even have to make a formation for it, just make it an option in the package menu so that your 3rd cb lines up where you want him on any specific play.

This might work. Or have it be on the "Gameplan" screen.
