Zone match defense is really 50/50 sometimes they play the match well if you move them before the snap sometimes they don’t play their zone match well

I think a man zone scheme is better maybe you should try it out. Mix in the blitz with the zones and run inside shades in you want a 90% lockdown for the corners

Charles Woodson didn’t play well for me in man and I got Lester Hayes instead of him  just because of the inside shade and he played a lot better than Charles Woodson

<p>Did you try McAlister or Champ? Both have played really well for me.</p>

Maybe you shouldn’t just try to buy wins and get better at the game.

<p>And BTW I've labbed and played with half the guys in the top 10 all-time Madden winners, kid. I was better at the game than you'll ever be, times 50.</p>

I don't know who you're addressing but you yourself have "bought" wins anytime you buy a card off the AH and play games you win with that card in your lineup. A very naive and ignorant take you have there. Unless you expect everyone here to believe you've never bought a card and played online with it? As was already explained by the OP this isn't a skill issue when your players just flat out don't work against lesser competition.

<p>Guy's a clown. No place for kids like that here.</p>

Same. From what I've seen so far power backs have been more effective this year.

<p>I agree but I am starting to think that power abilities like bruiser actually hinder them.</p>

Do you put abilities on your RBs?

<p>Like Juke box, spin cycle, arm bar, bulldozer?</p> <p>Am now wondering if maybe route running abilities and abilities like reach for it are better on running bacjs</p>

Theyll say dice rolls are dice rolls but you can totally tell when the dice are loaded for/against you with things that shouldnt happen in a row/all game.

<p>Which is why playing this game drunk or on painkillers (NOT condoning alcohol or drug use, just making a joke) is probably the best way to enjoy it LMAO.... that way you can laugh about all of the nonsense.</p>

<p>Honestly, Rickey and Bettis have outperformed LaDanian, Marshawn, and Dickerson for me. If they actually played like their attributes, it would be Dickerson, then LaDanian, then Okoye, then BeastMode</p>

Yeah they swear DDA isnt a real thing but the game def forces you to lose one way or another. They will make you throw dumb passes/animations/fumbles etc. or your players just eat dirt and play like bronzes. 

or theyll put you up against pros just so you lose a few hard.

<p>It's funny because I saw an uncovered receiver twice againt shit person, called off play action, set the HB on a swing route, then tried to snap and throw quickly, as I've done many times before and it would not throw the ball.....the animation was …</p>

<p>I'm not as good a Madden player as I used to be, not even close. But I am pretty decent and have a 91 OVR team now. Played a dude with 87s as his top cards. He ran read options out of full house on me. I went 3-4 with....Bosa, Sapp, Reggie.....Suggs…</p>

<p>So yes DK is a beast. But I have to say that the last few RBs released aren't performing for me as well as the older ones. </p> <p>Marshawn, Ladanian, Okoye, and strobe light flashing Dickerson haven't performed as well as Bettis, Rickey, and. Saquon.</p> <p>Th…</p>

<p>Not as good as I'd hoped plus when he's in your lineup the screen strobes out like a disco so if you're sensitive to that,  gey seizures, or easy to vertigo, don't use him until ES fixes</p> <p>But honestly he's not that great so far. </p> <p>Believe it or not …</p>

Anyone else having trouble activating RB abilities?

<p>Don't kno  if it's me,  my controller,  the game itself,  butI'm having a hard time getting abilities to light up on my RBs. Put bruiser on Dickerson  , barely get it to light up when trucking and almost never when using stiff arm.</p> <p>Maybe you have t…</p>

<p>Whoever you go with, I would go with a powerful back. Unless your scheme revolves round throwing to your HB. Power backs are much more meta this year. Someone above wrote Bettis. that's a great choice on a semi-budget</p>

Yeah on my Steelers TT, hes invisible in coverage and in blitzing. But if he works for you Id use him. Dont just get someone/change if it works for you. 

I think EdgeT is op in h2h and such right now but if your OLB isnt blitzing thats the only thing youd be able to do to get him on the team. You could wait a bit to other cards come out and re evaluate then?

<p>Even on my 40/40 legends team he's invisible. Reggie and LTD Chandler outplay Suggs and Ware all the time. Seems like its better to use true DEs as pass rushers even in 3-4, nickel, and dime sets this year.  Only successful pass rushing LB I've used…</p>
