Shutdown BRONZE

Shutdown defenders have the talent to erase receivers from the game. When they enter the zone, their coverage is tighter and interceptions are more frequent on contested catches.

Reinforcement BRONZE

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.

Tackle Supreme BRONZE

Defenders with this ability have better conservative/dive tackling, are rarely faked out by ballcarrier moves, and cannot be faked out when user-controlled.

Strip Specialist BRONZE

Defenders with this ability can still tackle effectively while trying to strip the football.

Mid Zone KO BRONZE

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.

Deflator BRONZE

Defenders with this ability will cause increased fatigue penalties when tackling a ballcarrier with a non-conservative tackle.
