Hi I Im unsure of a few settings on player tactics.

With coverage distance i assume for fast/agile player ill want to be closer. If moderate would i want to be at 0 and for strong but slow guys farther away?

Also not sure for my DE pass rusher. He is agile and fast but not deflecting passes so would i want his set farther away or 0?

The other tactic im not sure of is aggressiveness

If a plater isnt ever going to sack would i want that as the least aggressive option or 0?

Thanks for the help. I did ask in team forum but didn't get a reply

Coverage distance is simply the range of separation between the defender and the Receiver. Being farther away or closer only helps/hurts when the receiver makes a hard route direction change. If your defender has very good agility and speed AND vision, it won't matter too much but you don't want TOO much separation or the QB can complete the pass on the turn. Having it set to very close (say -99) works great IF the two players are evenly matched. If not then there is a risk, upon a completed pass, of a missed tackle leading to a big gain.

For the DE the setting of distance probably should be set to half way since they very seldom cover a receiver throughout the entire route. Most DE's play a zone so the distance setting is a moot point for any player in zone coverage. As for aggressiveness it's not nearly as much about getting a sack as it is about the DE's recovery/reaction time when it turns out the QB does NOT have the ball... especially a screen pass. If you watch replays you will sometimes see a defender continue to the QB after the pass is thrown or the pitch to the runner is made. Lack of vision and a high aggression setting can cause a defender to act as if they have no idea that the QB no longer has the ball... causing the DE (or LB or DT or CB or Safety) to literally take themselves out of the play. By the time they realize the ball is somewhere else, it's generally too late to contribute to the play anymore.
