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

Hah facts YouTubers runied the game, they just spend hours finding the flaw in the coding and it’s EA so there’s alot of flaws to be found 🤣

Seeing these comments are so hilarious, I just started playing MUT right at christmas and my team has only been really "good" for like the past 2 weeks to actually try and run "meta". I didn't really play 25 so I just wanted to see what the meta is and I was trying it out and yea you win games but it is really boring. One thing I will say is that I like running man, not like you get immediate pressure but like I just like running man instead of coverages imo so I think imma keep doing that but yea igu

I run a lot of man too, and then mix in zones with a man coverage shell to try to get them to make a bad read. Imo defense is so bad and broken this year i can’t blame any1 for running any defense if it works for them outside of legit glitches/exploits which i rarely ever see since the loop glitch blitz from last year seems to be fixed. When it comes to offense my tip would be if you are gunna use the meta to win and get rewards at least try random formations and plays when you have a good lead or your ready to quit out. You end up finding plays that work good and can shift away from spamming gun bunch x nasty

I agree, running man isn't that broken and their isn't really any cheesy blitzes at the moment if you know how to block your guys correctly. and Yea Ill start doing that, sometimes even Ill just run straight coach suggestions my favorite concepts are like clear out concepts like Ill have a wr on a go ball then a rb wheel right after, its open like 75% of the time its so great

Why do it then? I pick my plays based on vibes 😂

I win games based on vibes... the vibes are usually bad

I think @CamJurgens you may just need some better opponents. At the same time, I don't see why you need to be in Bunch X Nasty. Its just a formation. You can create that Mtn Y Post or whatever without the motion with hot routes on most formations. Try the ravens playbook which doesn't have that formation.

Defensively, Im curious what your doing with cover 4 man hybrid. My defense sucks (but i also suck).

Also, I think people who can't stop "Cheese" are sort of pussies. 

Mid Blitz - Block 6 guys. Outs, corners, meshes, deep crossers and anything to the RB are wide open. This play kind of sucks. Theres a QB Power that will also completely destroy it.

RPOs - Put Coaching settings to RPO Pass = conservative. Also, if you see it once, defend with user. Or guess pass.

RPO Bubble - Hard flats, man press, use user. Also see above.

Gun X Nasty - Im not sure why this is cheese, I dont have this formation, but Ive certainly played against it. Maybe take away the first read and blitz so theres not enough time for them to make all the reads. I think most plays have guys open most times. Sometimes its a bad rep and you gotta take a sack but generally my eyes are in the wrong place. 

Im not very good, but it comes down to stick skills and a mental battle usually. The game is actually fine, I think people have to be able to adjust when their first plan doesnt work, instead of running it back repeatedly.

I so enjoy when I come out in the first drive and can run up the middle until I force the mid blitz or 3-2 mug crap. Then I torch the crap out of them with te seams, quick dunpoffs and never just throw a prayer. The majority of these clowns can’t adjust at all. You crack their code and they are toast. My favorite is when they start timing out on play selection on defense while they try looking up the answer on YouTube. I’ve actually messaged them and told them to search a key word to get th answer. Then I switch to another set of concepts and torch them. I’m an average MUT player this year. But the majority of these players I play do this and I can beat their tails off. They don’t have a good user, can’t switch stick to save their lives, and rely on their glitch scheme to win. It’s hilarious.

The offense is just such at an insane advantage this year it's tough to get stops. It's really not even up for debate.

these are good tips, thanks.  Not sure about the name calling though. 😏

"Use user" ... wow, GREAT TIP !

lol, the RPO tips were good. I didn't know you could adjust those in coaching.

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

If only...I would actually win some games haha

droblunts313 said:

Lmao just because someone beats your coverage it doesn’t make them a cheater. It’s actually impressive if a player can tell what you are running and then set up a play to beat it. This is what happens in real football. 

You sound like you want to run a defense that can stop everything without making audibles. Learn how the game plays and adapt.

Players just completely ignoring their assignments every play is not what happens in real football. The issue isn't with someone diagnosing a defense and countering it, it is doing it by glitching out the CPU that is the issue.

Good thing they added the greatest defensive feature ever put in the game. It’s called switch sticking. 

Also it’s not like only your players are getting taken advantage of. It goes both ways. We all know this game isn’t perfect so stop acting like it should be.
