Default How do you beat cover corners?

I have the BB cover corners and they seem to be pretty good at holding the receivers, regardless of how I position them. This obviously is going to eliminate 2 receivers in the pass patterns. Is there a "secret" way to protect receivers so that they can get into their routes?

You can use an ITZ dial on your wide receiver to make his route more unpredictable.
You can train your receiver to have a quick first step. (gotta credit this, learned it from one of Norbert's videos)
Beat the cover corner with speed.
Over power the cover corner.
Line your wide receivers up in the slots.
Put your wide receiver back more on the base.
Or you can beat the cover corner by taking a different angle other than straight on.
Just a few of my Ideas.

I did put an ITZ dial in a base and that did help.

Default It will also help to.........

have a fig that the CC can not grab! You could have an awesome base, but if the WR gets locked into those arms it is over!

Default In my experience, the way to...

beat Cover Corners is based on the rule set. Some rules allow the same amount of time for both offense and defense to set. In those type of situations, it is less difficult to beat the cover corners.

In rulesets where the defense gets 10 extra seconds, it is difficult but not impossible. See some people think that we play in a "Utopia brand" of football where the play works exactly as you draw it up. I venture to guess that when a coach draws up a play on the chalkboard, it rarely ever works as plan. If that happens, the score would be 1002 to 1001. So even in individual matchups, people think that players from one side of the ball should succeed on every play and vice versa for the other team.

Well, my experience tells me, that if you can get a wide receiver off the line 10 times during the course of a game where you get in 100 plays, that's more than sufficient to have opportunities to go up the field for big yardage.

So expecting the CC to get beat on most plays is not fair to the defensive team either. However, it can be done. It is so easy to beat press coverage that it's scary!

I've got the best cover corners and I will show you in a short video of
1: A dominate cover corner and then,
2: A dominate cover corner being beat on every play in press coverage.

Give me a minute. A lot depends on your perception of the game and how creative you get in playing the game.

Default forgot something

I forgot, you can use "boat" bases which slip off defenders more than straight bases would.
