Abilities
Zone Hawk
Zone Hawk defenders lock down a part of the field. When they enter the zone, this ability increases the rate of interceptions while in zone coverage.
Recuperation
Players with this ability will recover from the effects of Wear and Tear and fatigue at an increased rate between plays.
Return Man
Ballcarriers with this ability have an increased chance to break the first tackle attempt on kick returns
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.
Persistent
Players with this ability are harder to knock out of The Zone
Shutdown
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.
On The Ball
Players with this ability are much less likely to be fooled by WR runoffs
Strip Specialist
Defenders with this ability can still tackle effectively while trying to strip the football.
Unfakeable
Defenders with this ability are rarely faked out by ballcarrier moves (and cannot be faked out when user-controlled).
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.
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.
Pick Artist
Defenders with this ability have higher chance to catch uncontested interceptions, and they have unlimited stamina on the return (until using a special move or breaking a tackle).
Lurker
Defenders with this ability can make jumping, 180-degree interceptions while lurking in a zone in the middle of the field.
Bottleneck
Bottleneck defenders realize that the best way to stop a route is to act early. When they enter the zone, they are highly likely to dominantly win any man press encounter.
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.
Bench Press
Defenders with this ability apply bonus fatigue to their man coverage target after a successful press win
Outmatched
Defenders with this ability are highly likely to force catch knockouts against running backs.
