Any way to stop my o line being insta shedded?

Have been playing and my oline just gets eaten up by everything even though it’s pretty solid, any tips to help?

Upgrade your Oline

Do you know if your opponents are using abilities/X factors like DON or Unstop Force?

the latter is almost a guranteed insta shed when active. try double teaming the active X factor. and yes upgrade your linemen too

Edge protector is an option but only if discounted. also make sure you’re not backing up your qb on every pass, that affects shedding

its expensive but worth look at my oline, mainly your 2 guards and Center need Secure Protector

My oline is mediocre and I don’t have this problem unless my opponent is running some cheesy defense.. also make sure you aren’t dropping back to far and never press RT as your oline stops blocking well.. you could just be outmatched by abilities or maybe DDA? Happens sometimes..

the only weak point is dawand jones but I feel like the rest are fine, I think it’s an ability issue

I think it’s an ability issue because I run none on my o line

I don’t think I’ve been dropping back too far or hitting r2 but it’s probably an ability issue

Im in mvp so just about every game yea but in past years its never been this bad even in legend, I’m gonna invest in a new right tackle because dawand Jones is pretty weak so do you have any suggestions

I’m also using Dawand, but only bc I’m 50 ZC. One of the playoff tackles should be cheapish and good enough to last a while

I honestly run no abilities on my oline.. make sure your keeping rb in to block if needed.. make sure your sliding oline if needed.. also id the mike when needed… theres always ways. Alot of people like to run glitchy plays

For me, it's ZC Trent Williams, S3 Bruce Matthews, Playoffs Creed Humphrey, GoM Larry Allen, and Playoffs Colton McKivitz. I've got Cross and Humphrey providing their boosts, and Allen's got Linchpin, which seems to be wasted these days as all of the newest crop of defensive linemen are insta-shedding on run plays.

I can go many games without unreasonable pressures on pass plays. However, I was up against one guy that blitzed both outside linebackers on every play, while he kept dropping the interior defensive linemen into coverage. I couldn't get one second without pressure affecting my throws, and one-and-a-half seconds would be a QB hit or sack. I got zero reaction from my offensive tackles. Combined with Flats KO on the corners, there was no time to read a defense. I quit out of the obvious NPE. But I fully expect to deal with this again soon, and eventually it will come in most games. If someone is going to tell me spending 1.5 million on an offensive line isn't enough, they clearly are more invested in Madden than I'll ever care to be.

You've been warned.

If your opponent is sending A-gap blitzers, chances are you'll want to Slide Right during pre-play adjustments (tap L1 trigger, then left analogue stick to the right) and probably should/could block either a RB or TE to help.  If your opponent is getting insta-sheds up the gut, from four down linemen sets, such as 4-3 Even 6-1, or even Nickel/Dime, perhaps you could add 2AP Secure Protector on your center, if you have Creed Humphrey.  That's just what i have done lately.

DON'T try to run too many under center formations if your opponent is blitz heavy, relying on those often somewhat glitchy insta-sheds.  You'll probably want to come out in Shotgun formation, plan to have a couple quick outs, such as a WR Flat and/or HB Streaking out of the backfield.  Even Henry struggles with 6 blitzers, although he's still finding ways to overcome, which is why he's quite possibly THE best Madden player in the world.  We'll find out real soon if that holds true again this year.

EDIT: if anyone is curious, here's my roster.

Don’t drop back super far. I see this a lot in people in MUT, they drop back hella far and then the dline wrecks them, upgrade your oline and don’t drop back unless you have too
