coverage in real life game is usually determined by the middle linebacker who will call the defense formation at the line of scrimmage once seeing how the offense is lined up. obvious running or passing plays are based on the likelihood of an offense doing either or from distance in yardage needed for another first down.
*a huge factor based on what type of coverage a team will use a majority of time is based on personnel. If your defense has good cover corners your likely to go man-to-man because you can feel confident in your corners not needing alot of help in coverage besides the safety roaming.
*zone coverage is used w/ blitzing (you lose at least one man from coverage when you blitz) and the idea is to cover areas (pockets) of the field your secondary and linebackers in majority passing situations (2nd, 3rd and long)
of course there are a ton of various other defensive schemes that combine the two.
