Warrior General Games

SS is set to cover zone shallow - deep strong 1/2. He goes to his assigned spot, and then runs toward end zone. In first replay (below) no one has even entered his zone.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1565650&pbp_id=10473144 - here I could see it possibly being because of WR 2 running through his zone on outside

Look at the FS. He goes to the same spot on the other side of the field (1st replay). He was lined up close to the line of scrimmage and had to get deep.

I can kind of see it with the FS, and probably even the SS in the second replay, because there is someone running through the zone.

In the first replay though there is nobody that goes into the deep strong zone, so there is no reason for the SS to drop deep.

That's what he is supposed to do. He is to cover the Deep 1/2 so that's where he goes if there's a player there or not. That is his job according to the dai

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1565650&pbp_id=10470586 - here he is in deep 1/3. See how he stays about 11-12 yards beyond LOS and doesn't drop deeper until someone enters his zone?

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1565650&pbp_id=10470627 - look at CB3 here. He is set to deep weak 1/2. He doesn't drift back.


http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1565650&pbp_id=10471455 - deep weak 1/2s. The don't start moving deeper until someone enters the zone.


Edit:
And he is set to shallow deep strong 1/2. Of course he is supposed to go to the spot on the field he originally heads to. He just shouldn't be drifting back after he gets there when there is nobody deeper than him on his 1/2 of the field.

Looking at the play and seeing the FS going to the same spot i would say that they are doing what they are supposed to. Going to mark as not likely a bug and will leave this thread open if you happen to find more instances of this but i really think it is working as intended. They are to cover the DEEP 1/2 and that's where they go. Maybe to the edge of it but they are going to their assigned area imo.

He also starts out DEEP not shallow like the SS 7 FS in the 1st replay

Do we even try to fix bugs in this game anymore?

Serious question for bugs moderators. Or do we just look for any excuse to dismiss as not a bug?

I agree that this looks funny. He has two people in his zone by the time the ball is thrown and he isn't really covering either.
The second replay I agree with your own assessment and Rikkhen that something comes through his zone, so we only have one replay of him doing it wrong, and doing the wrong thing once isn't a bug. I think we need to see a pattern before calling it something.

He is set to cover zone medium deep weak 1/2.

It is 1st and 10. Look how deep he ends up 2-3 yards past the first down marker, so about 12-13 yards deep.

Now look at the first replay with the SS. It is 3rd and 14.5. The SS is 10 yards beyond the first down marker before he starts to move back up, so he is 24 - 25 yards down field.

If that is working as intended, then what is the point of assigning shallow, medium, or deep zone coverage.

The first replay is not a bug, he's doing his job. He's trying to match the depth of the streaking WR1. With no receiver in his zone, he's preparing for the possibility that the deepest receiver could enter his zone from the side. If the the sim were set up to allow a receiver to enter a safety's zone behind him while he waited shallow and the other safety released, we'd be getting bug reports about that.

In that case, you should assign the safety to cover zone deep not shallow. Otherwise, there is no way to have a player covering that area of the field.

The second, but it isn't their fault. It's policy.
