I know it’s kinda late in the MUT cycle but I still see a lot of misinformation in comments and stuff so I wanted to share some tips that might be helpful for players that may not have much experience.
1. Blitz your user prior to the snap:
- If your User isn’t assigned to blitz prior to the snap they will be pulled in the direction of their assignment which will not allow you to move freely in another direction.
- If your User is not assigned to blitz you should manually set them to blitz before the snap.
2. Man/Zone KO’s are pointless on your User:
- If you follow my recommendation and have your User assigned to blitz then that makes KO’s useless on your User.
- It would be better to spend your AP on Acrobat, Pick Artist, Enforcer, or Tackle Supreme, etc.
3. Most traits don’t matter on your User. (I believe the “Clutch” and “High Motor” traits are the only ones that really do anything for your User):
- Play Ball and Big Hitter traits are only going to apply to CPU controlled players.
- If your User has the trait Big Hitter: No, it doesn’t matter they will still hit stick when you flick the right stick.
- If your User has the trait Plays Ball: Conservative, it doesn’t matter they will still attempt INT’s with your manual input.
- If you choose to User the D-line, pass rush traits don’t matter for the player that you are going to User pass rush with. You can still attempt any pass rush move of your choice even if they don‘t have the trait.
Choosing what player to User:
- Linebackers don’t move as well as DB’s even if they have 99 AGI/99 COD. Unfortunately there is something in the coding that makes DB’s move easier/smoother than LB’s no matter what the attributes are.
- Linebackers will not animate for INT’s like a DB without Lurker equipped.
- User blitzing through gaps directly after the snap is smoother/faster with a DB. If you want to User blitz a gap to stop the run or create pressure it will be easier with a DB. There is a noticeable delay when trying to User blitz with a Linebacker from the SubLb/MLB position allowing offensive blockers to get in better position and/or the QB more time to pass the ball.
*If you have other User tips that could help the community feel free to share in the comments.
