So this has been an issue the last several weeks of the season and ended up costing my team a perfect season and league title. CBs just keep getting beat bad on play action passes. Is this a play call issue or what I assume to be a player build issue? What helps the CBs stick with their man instead of going in for the fake run?

You need high pursuit to lessen fakes for your CB. Also need either blitz the QB, or keep a free safety up top against that play

What is 'high' pursuit? It wasn't such a huge issue until the title game when they really exploited that weakness of our defense

CBs need 75+ Pursuit to reliably overcome PA fakes. As BoDiddley says, blitz to sack and keep safeties up top.

Need cover 2 instead of cover 1. A lot of blitzes work but leave other things exposed and if you don’t get to the QB you are in big trouble. Tricky formation to defend.

I ran into the same problem, PA wasn't affecting me too bad all season. Absolutely obliterated me in the championship game. Maybe a combination of not enough pursuit/low morale?

All my CBs have a minimum of 45 pursuit. Needing 75+ pursuit to defend against PA is kinda bogus imo.

Fml, it does say right on pursuit it helps avoid PA fakes
