Thank you

What? This event is amazing. The reward player is selling for like 2.5 million and if you want to play the higher tiers you can get over 100k snow. 100k snow is equivalent to like 7-8 million. You can potentially get 10 million off of rewards from this event.

I’m loving this event.  

Felt like a breeze getting Parham, and now I’m just cruising snow.  I’ve been playing Madden for a while and have a good team (basically all BNDs), but am by no means even close to comp.

The past few events were unplayable arcady BS.  This feels much more competitive.

This is what I’m saying.  Can grind millions very easily.

How many really good players would you say you've ran into? I did one run (went 4-2) and my 2 losses were against guys that I felt were very good players. I feel like I'm an above average player but that first run makes me think I might not be good enough to ever finish a run. Do you think it's just random luck on the opponents you match up? For examples, last year during the Mutmas draft I probably went 5-0 over a dozen times.

The matchmaking feels super random.  Honestly I would say like maybe 2/10 games feel competitive enough to the point where I would think I could potentially lose.  I have gone on full 10 game runs without playing anybody good.  Currently 7-0 coming off a 10-0 run, and like I said, I’m by no means incredible at the game.

I run a lot of dime 2-3 Sam, only rush 3 with DoN and run stopper across those 3.  Haynesworth has been insane. 

I use different stunts and zone defenses with some man mixed in.  I also use zone stems based on what my opponent is doing. 

I never press and I like to keep the play in front of me.  I switch stick based on where I would try to throw the ball if I was the qb and I'm usually pretty spot on. 

Most games I give up no tds, if I do give one it is usually only the one.  I have few games where someone scores more than 1 td on me. 

In my 5-0 run I only had 3 tds scored on me total.

Vikings playbook? Which plays in Dime 2-3 Sam do you run specifically?

I run through a mix. 

Cover 2 man,  cover 3/4/6/9 db fire

I mix it up every play so my opponent has no idea what I'm doing.  I just play defense from an offensive perspective, basically looking at what pre snap reads I would make if I was qb and adjusting  to cover those reads or using them as bait.

Good day 

The games are way to long being it’s a house rules event.  The 10 win rule is ridiculous to. With the length of these games there’s no way I’m playing 20 plus games by next week and I’m saying this because obviously I’m not winning 10 games in a row so let’s say at game 6 or 7 I lose i then have to play the games again.

I don’t get how I’m supposed to keep up with dudes who would literally torture their own parents for a win on the game. It doesn’t help that the snow makes all of my dudes move like they’re on life support and make them slip every 2 seconds. What happened to the good events bro EA fix your shit.

Not only the bullshit that happens in the event is horrific but the format is too. The reward system is god awful unless you go flawless and having to win 10  ranked length games and only being able to lose 1 is so idiotic.

AND NOW MY WINS ARENT COUNTING I’m fucking done bro

I semi quit this week.  I uninstalled the game after my squad partner got banned tuesday and I am just tired of the promo repeat cycle.  It's really not very fun anymore.  I may come back around playoff time if the bucs get juices but zero chill lost me and I've been happier not playing since tuesday

The h2h event is terrible because the CPU event is where the casuals are making every game in the h2h event a sweat shop.  

Plus, instead of just giving a reward at 30 wins and having people exit the event, the event field pass keeps the sweats in until the end of the promo.

What defense do you run bro

I do well in these events, as someone who choose not to spend money this year, they have allowed me to get ahead in coins quickly. 

Honestly, you want to blitz heavily. You should have a consistent blitz that you can sack or force bad passes early. People quit a lot of the time once they get behind early. I base my entire defensive lineup and AP on my blitz. I don’t need DL pass rush abilities because it gets consistent pressure from the LB through the B gap. So I use under pressure for my LB that blitzes because you can get bad throws from the add pressure, and all other defensive AP goes into man coverage. Inside shade and medium route KO. 

Send the house. Find a 6-7 man blitz you can get pressure from so they can’t throw deep. Have a zone variation of the blitz in case you face someone really good with run routes but 90% of my games I run a man blitz and its been the only consistent defense for me. I think the problem with zones, is they are to easily manipulated by route combos. Force people into quick reads all game and guess pass/inside or outside depending how they like to throw and you’ll get turnovers.

This or college OT. Love the short format of those.

College OT sucked this year because you still needed to win nine games in a row. EA has made the Head-to-Head experience positively toxic at every level.

Why not bring the format that chased away the sweats as soon as the top-tier reward was achieved? If we get to the end of MUT 26 and we’re still having these Cheat-[x]-Games-in-a-Row objectives, I will have to retire from MUT. I’m investing hours into assembling a lineup so that I can reasonably compete, only to get pitted against multiple users who glitch for wins. This is a recipe for rage, and it’s left me disengaged from MUT this year.
