I’m so bad at this game

I always run like 4 verts in ranked and get picked my team is all blues and greens but I just run default playbook suggested plays. Not sure what to do, I always pretty much throw to the same folks, how do I get better?

Well, in order to get a good team you have to have epics and iconics (purple and yellow) because blues and greens simply too slow to get open/keep up. If you can get your hands on a mythic or marvel (silver and orange) that would be even better. As for plays I do 75% passing and 25% running. My favorite running plays are the HB toss and inside zone. I also use FB dive when I have to pick up a few yards. For passing plays I do four verts. But you have to choose a variety of plays, the best ones being the ones that have multiple unique routes such as China Y Cop.

My favorite long pass play is probably "whip unders", especially if you have a good receiving back.  It's pretty much a guaranteed 10-15 yards if I throw to the HB, a possible TD if my WR on the streak route is open, and if everyone down field is covered you can always check it down to one of your TEs.  HB Toss Mtn is my favorite running play.  It's a motion play that usually opens up some room on the outside of the field by drawing one of their CBs in before the snap.  It's good to practice and be familiar with a wide variety of plays for different situations though.  As far as players, just play every day and you'll have a team of all iconics in a couple months.  And be smart about spending your training points.  Don't spend them all each field pass, save some up so when the next field pass starts you're prepared on day 1.  Hope this helps!
