I understand its a every year thing and there really is no point in complaining, but it isn't enjoyable being in bunch x nasty and hybrid man or cover 4 all game. Don't get me wrong I win lots of games, but playing like this imo is as bad as the people who "need" cheaper ability buckets. Sometimes I go into regs for a breather, but like doing "meta" kinda just rots ur brain in not even really thinking about the game

I would hate it if I had to play the way some dude on YouTube tells me I have to.

If I were you, I would ask in the comments if youre allowed to quit playing...

yea its pretty sad.....EA has actually done a great job with playbooks, lots of new formations, plays. etc......every playbook has something to offer but ppl want the easy way out smh......not like back in the day you had to figure things out for yourself

Meta=glitches=cheaters.  Don't do it. But...  most of the players wouldn't play if they couldn't glitch the AI

I mean I think its because its a sure fire way to have an increased percentage to win, but like I don't want to play like that but it doesn't matter cus 9/10 peoples first play is already in Bunch X Nasty

this is hilarious, I mean the way I play even though I usually am in Bunch X Nasty its not cheesy cheese I usually just run mesh concepts for man beaters. I play my own game, I just don't like that that's the agreed upon "meta" and that Madden doesn't fix their game

Hey at least your realizing how lame being another gun bunch x nasty spammer is after 5 months of the game being out. Most of these clowns will continue mindlessly spamming that meta trash until the next madden. People who play like that no longer play for fun even tho they somehow convinced themselves they do, its all just a mindless grind for coins. Spam gun bunch x nasty to get coins to buy new cards for spamming gun bunch x nasty. Try different formations and get creative it makes the game 10x more fun. You’ll be worse before you get better but at least you wont be just another meta brainrot sheep

I am new to the game. My first year in MUT. I think for the first month understand why some meta plays work and don't. Then find your own style. I was lucky to meet a really friendly welcoming Madden player who showed me lots  of stuff.   I think it's lame that there are thousands of plays to pick but all you see is Bunch x nasty, and trips TE.   Also I don't know why EA is allowing this mugging nonsense. It basically nerfs a majority of under center formations.
