anybody? Does this mean your Corners "travel", so that your CB1 always lines up across from the WR1, whichever side of the field he is on?

If you have safeties or lbs in man coverage they will move out over the slot wr(s) if your formation doesn’t have a nickelback(s). (Or Nbs move in to cover rbs if there are no slot wrs) basically the opposite of disguise coverage in madden

This makes sense, but are there pros and cons to using/not using Align Man Coverage?

I imagine moving guys outside will affect ability to support run defense.
