I'm Seeing What Happened Now

Solid team. I would replace the FS with the Browns FS and put DZKO and PA in him. Then get Krause and boost him up and put him at SS with deep zone KO in and PA - both are cheap AP set ups and should help over the top and shouldn’t effect your TT - you running just cowboys or a hybrid?

Eagles and Cowboys 2x40.

Are you saying that Rocket reacts to deep routes properly when in midfield thirds out of Cover 3 in All-Pro modes? Because with theme team chemistries, my two safeties are faster and have functionally similar acceleration by numbers.

Krause on the other hand will be slotted in as soon as he gets access to the Season Tickets 97 OVR Upgrade Token.

Try to max protect, then can put your te and rb on routes after if you like. ID the user as the mike 98% of the time they drop into coverag. helps the rb pick someone else if he blocks. but I will agree that “YouTubers” ruined the game. Ea makes so much money they don’t care to upgrade the engine the game plays on. So it’s out dated and they’re YouTubers legit sit on the game for hours trying to find the glitch in the code. but those players that use it usually suck once you stop it and more than likely will quit

Thanks for the response. It’s not a situation where the defense is sending more pass rushers than I left in blockers. Three- or four-man rushes in both cases. I think the defensive line was pinched, but not the typical abuse I’ve seen since the release of players with 1-AP Mid-Zone KO. The nose tackle simply didn’t draw any engagement. The center turned left after the snap, and the tackle ran around him from behind. Not even a stunt. Just absolutely ran free.

Sometimes that's just the game. We can't fix everything and eventually, the shit programming wins. I suggested new safeties but sometimes changing the entire secondary helps too.

My bad, I thought I sent this earlier.

That's a decent team.. how did you get a 40/40 team, I am at 41/21 eagles/patriots.. that's pretty good how you did that

The secondary is pretty good, but if you don’t send pressure they’ll always get beat over the top. If you don’t like to blitz I’d suggest using more AP on your defensive line on things like unstoppable force, edge threat, and double or nothings.

i Hope you find a feature that gives you happiness again from this hobby

reading through this made me question if you’ve been playing the game recently. No genki force free players, no ranked rewards. Feels like the team is stale

Do us all a favor and define what is good:

I don't run the exploits, I don't crash down nine into the box, I don't loop blitz. Basically, I don't do anything of the things on offense or defense that are winning games for the top 1% of MUT players. Therefore, I'm not good.

If we were talking football IQ, I'd argue that I know what I'm doing.

Plus, and I haven't really mentioned this until now, but the game keeps changing constantly. Stuff gets patched, and now different cheat plays emerge. Now I have to learn a whole new set of counters. Also, blocking assignments don't work quite the same as they did with the new cheese blitzes. Every time EA tries to fix something with routine patches, it means I have to learn MUT all over again. If the game played anything like football, I'd probably be fine.

But I'm not here to complain that I'm not better. I'm just complaining that the game right now is glutted with unsportsmanlike behaviors in the gameplay alone. This is beyond argument.

I feel you, the game is a frustrating mess and is very unenjoyable at times. Unfortunately,  you can't play the "right way".  Most online games are run by meta plays/classes/setups. 

I don't loop blitz, or exploit, but I  bring safties down to stop seam and other meta routes people run. 

With how lazy EA is with updating and making a better game,  using meta is the only way to stay competitive. Anyone with an internet connection can Google money plays or glitch blitzes with zero effort.

People run exploits and cheap plays because EA doesn't fix them and people want to win. Spend some time finding how to stip money plays and these players will quit fast.

This is actually one of the best non-strategy responses I've read in a while. After initially disliking Tofu no Shiitake, I adapted to it, and while games were dominated largely by super-dumb coverage, there were some interesting strategies that emerged.

I probably would be just fine with Showtime Showdown if it weren't for the nine-games incentive driving away most of the casuals almost instantly. Sometimes it's not the mode itself that's broken, but the implementation of the rewards system that either attracts or deters degenerate, unsportsmanlike gamers.

I miss Tug of War. This game just needs more modes, period. That would probably fix a lot.

I didn't really find a place for the Genki Force players. I earned six elevation tokens, but I didn't want to spend on a relatively mediocre LTD in Martellus Bennett, nor on Johnny Wilson. If I had had more coins, I would right now be fielding a Genki Force Saints team, but as mentioned at the outset, my past decisions with Team Diamonds precluded being able to pivot that way. I suppose it's good I didn't, because between Ultimate Legends and NFL Combine, Genki Force will be obsolete in very short order.

I've got all four 95 OVR Team Diamonds (and unfortunately overpaid for the pair of Eli Manning and Julius Peppers by almost two million for not waiting two more weeks), eight Team Builders heroes, three 89 OVR Team Captains, and two Super Bowl Trophy Champion chemistry players, along with a Rare Team Chemistry Strategy Item. These items collectively get me over the 2x40 threshold.

There are pieces I would like, but right now I just need to save some coins.

I’m not an expert but I think you’ll get a lot farther if your remake your team. Cards like 95 team diamonds shouldn’t be backups at that cost relative to your total team. 

having 20% ( 1.8m / 9.5m ) value on a qb slot is a lot. you don’t have tall fast receivers / te. You don’t have a game wrecker rusher. 
 

id rebuild from the ground up. Getting Tom Brady x3 for 150k  less than Eli for example. 

selling suh, white, hurts, etc for better options

Also. A free Dion Dawkins would have be good for you imo

You could sell Hurts, Eli, Suh and get Barno, JD, and Pat Pete. Your team would be very good with those players.
