Reinforcement

The game's top defenders excel in all situations. When they enter the zone, this ability increases their chance of defeating run blocks, and disrupting catches via tackles.

Unfakeable

Defenders with this ability are rarely faked out by ballcarrier moves (and cannot be faked out when user-controlled).

Universal Coverage

The most physical coverage defenders prevent catches from happening even when their target has hands on the ball. When they enter the zone, they are nearly guaranteed knockouts.

Lumberjack

Defenders with this ability allow fewer broken tackles and cause more fumbles when cut-sticking ballcarriers.

Flat Zone KO

Defenders with this ability force more catch knockouts and react quicker in any flat zone coverage, less than 10 yards from the LoS and outside the hash marks.

Mid Zone KO

Defenders with this ability force more catch knockouts and react quicker in any mid-field zone coverage, less than 20 yards from the LoS inside the numbers and 10-20 outside.
