You show blitz ONLY your linebackers using RB\u002FR1. Looks great. Front looks nasty. But then you make ONE more adjustment after that, like blitzing one of those linebackers, and BOOM. Your safeties randomly drop down and show blitz too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>This is terrible because those safeties are supposed to be in deep zones. When they come down, you're leaving the entire deep field wide open. Any streak route = automatic touchdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The feature itself is awesome.\u003C\u002Fstrong> EA finally let us show blitz ONLY linebackers instead of the whole defense. But they screwed up the coding. Make any individual adjustment after linebacker show blitz and the game thinks you want global show blitz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Bottom line:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Show blitz your linebackers, then leave it alone.
