4.6 actually amplified everything everyone hated about 4.5. If you run a Flat Zone defense against every formation, your opponent won't be able to throw against you at all. You'll get shredded in the run game, but most owners aren't disciplined to (or want to) run the pound it every down game plan. But the real reason that the FZ doesn't just get smoked by a passing offense is that you can't throw over the top of it. Realistically, you beat a defense like the FZ by sending your X and Y on deep go routes or your TE on a deep post every down and see if the CBs can hold up while being on an island.
Very true. My last game in Big Data = a perfect example.
I did nothing until an ultimate strat mistake x2 and it's the only reason I hit those dual bombs.
