Get ready for a lot more man coverage bottle neck

meh I sit in cover 4 all game anyways, the key now is faking the offense with zone drops

they can see a hard flat but is it 5 yards or 15

I shouldn't have to do that stuff. It's not even football at that point.

In baseball, stealing calls is cheating. Why is this allowed in a competitive game. I feel like EA just stole the rest of my MUT 25 license, and that all I have to play for is Rookie Premiere, probably so that they can find some new way to inflict pain on me next year.

Plus, goofing around with zone drops doesn't help much when they're on the goal line.

It hurts those of us who scheme for wins rather than cheese for wins when it comes to defense. I'm all about the misdirection, disguising and rotating coverages... Omaha is death to that.

thats is exactly what I mean by off-meta defense. if someone is running the loop, 9/10 times its cov 4 and you don't need Omaha to know that lmao

Yeah this is it. Cover 4 is too common, and cover 4 beaters are hard as you need time to throw. Underneath you need to be setting zone drops. Keep your match, drop to X yards, or to sticks. Man up slot sometimes.  Omaha won't see it and that is how you keep them guessing.

Omaha ability is now a thing

Really hurts zone coverage

Looks like we might see a lot more man coverage

I actually thought this about a week ago when we were getting good cards with OSA, but with Megatron and Julio basically on everyone’s roster and them having man beating abilities I don’t think we will in my opinion

just get cd lamb, john ross, Jefferson to get double me, rac em up fries press coverage

This made me laugh, lol.

You can shred cover 4 with quick throws all day, if you can read the flat defender and put him in conflict every time it’s easy to beat, everyone just wants to try and get that 1 play td I’ll take 5 yards every play till you get out of it

Omaha makes the game worse for defense entirely. The top man defense meta is sending a cover 0 blitz with a few zone audibles mixed in to confuse offenses. Guess what? With Omaha you can now see if somebody is running a cover 0 with a deep half on the left side or if they put their DE in a flat. Man defense is incredibly easy to torch now that abilities like double me is 0 for majority of top WRs.

Man coverage has been pretty easy to torch. Especially with the wr’s with baked in X factors. Only man coverage that was decent was cover 2 man press. But now with all the rac ‘em up/double me wrs you get insta wins against press

Best way to play defense right now it 34 odd/61. Omaha can’t see the LB zones so you can play the send 6/max coverage cat and mouse game. Also just grab like 7 avalanches and call it a day lol
