I think the Madden MLB is the best user in the game.

Assuming you're using a LB as a user, the conversation revolves around Hendricks, Simmons, Warner, Willis, and Madden. Here's the case for each:

1. Hendricks - great speed and height, but abilities suck and gets pancaked on the reg.
2. Warner - great ability stack with lurk/MZKO for 0ap, but speed is a problem
3. Willis - good speed, solid abilities with the lurk/MZKO stack for 1ap, height is meh at 6'1".
4. Simmons - good speed, abilities are meh as you can't get lurk/MZKO discounted together, height is really good at 6'4"
5. Madden - good speed, solid abilities with the lurk/MZKO stack for 1ap, height is really good at 6'4"

I have every player on this list aside from Warner on my team as part of a 25/25 Combine, 25/25 Raiders TT so know the cards well. I use Willis and Madden as my SLBs with Hendricks only seeing the field in 4-3 61. Simmons is there for TT and motivator chem purposes.

I think it's time to put some respect on Madden's name. What are your thoughts?

(Queue the complaints about not having Madden yet)

Warner has the same speed if you put the ToTY team boost in the lineup…

I’ve heard a lot of people say that blitzing ur user wastes mzko but I blitz my user every play and I still get the mzko animations. Have you personally tried it or just going off what others have said? im curious

My user is ALWAYS blitzed. You can still get knockouts from hitting the receiver without having a knockout ability especially if you have a tackling ability. If your user only has LA and MZKO then it would light up if the MZKO is working. Otherwise you’re just getting a regular user hit-based knockout. 

I haven’t tried MZKO on a blitzed user in over two years because it never activated unless the player had a zone assignment.

100% my user is ALWAYS blitzed. Been that way for years, otherwise you get pulled towards your coverage assignment and can’t move freely.

I don't have Willis (I have madden at a 97 though), but he sounds like he is crazy. His height is not that bad as long as he gets lurk artist (which he does)

I don’t have madden yet but he is gonna replace Isaiah Simmons for me. my other user is Ted Hendricks and I have no and Zaven Colin’s on the edge I can drop in to coverage whenever.

everyone’s forgetting kuechly smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

Obviously you haven’t used the Randy Moss Lolb

How do you know which one is a pass?

Dog water.

im personally using Willis, and i have to disagree. While he might be on the shorter side, he gets crazy animations for me. It might just be that i got lucky, but with avalanche, MZKO/lurk artist, it’s really a combo I can’t pass up. While I dont have really much or a say since I haven’t used madden, I still think Willis will be my user for a while.

I have both and Willis is better for user

Only 2 options rn for a user imo, 99 Speed is a must bro we're in April ...

1. Ted Hendricks (Height but a little clunky sometimes and he's shit in the run game) I personally run Secure tackler on him

2. Bo Jackson (Smaller but feels super sticky and has Secure Tackler/Lurk Artist for 0AP) Also Dual threat X Factor is crazy

CJ Mosley

O'Neill is the best

Personally Ted Hendricks has never gotten pancaked for me and he catches everything.  I don’t even have lurk artist because I’m on old gen and he still catches everything.
