But this is effective because it increases the amount of processing time by the QB. He will likely have to go through his progression, and it does create doubt that he might not be reading the defense correctly. Hence, the QB needs to hold the ball a little longer allowing the pass rush a better opportunity.
I’m kind of surprised no one has done this before. I always thought the motion man was such an easy tell. Hell I do it almost every play in Madden to see the defense. I have not seen a defense motion their players to match the offense then be able to drop into an effective zone. I expect this will take off in the off season and we will see it a lot next year. It’s a copycat league.

A lot of coverage disguise is to fool QBs as well. For example, showing a 2 deep look and then rolling the safeties to drop into a Cover 3 is designed to get the QB to read Cover 2 and throw to what would be the holes in that type of coverage, where ideally you'll have a defender waiting to pick the pass. If a QB were to throw deep middle in that example, which is a classic hole of a Cover 2, the defense would be hoping that that would place their best ballhawking safety in position to intercept the pass or at least bat it down.
