I know, it's why I stopped.

But "my way" as you put it is just to do stuff that is vaguely realistic. I'd say at least 40% of the games I play on MUT don't get beyond the 1st or 2nd possession. Either the guy quits after the 1st INT or after going for it on 4th and forever in some idiotic field position. I suppose I shouldn't care; I won after all but it does get tiring and I thought I might be able to persuade the other player to try playing it straight. It did actually work a few times and I had some good games, you know, just saying 'come on mate, its 4th and 30. Just punt". But most of the time it didn't.

What you say is true. Its not for me to say how someone else should play the game but I don't know what fun is to be found in quitting out of games because of your own stupidity. How does that make you better?

Anyway, like I said, I don't bother anymore; I muted the mic and just get on with it.  I also play way less H2H.

I have used the mic a few times. Mainly to ask for someone to play it straight or to run some different plays. I've stopped doing it though. Partly because I guess how someone plays the game is up to them, even if 4th and 23 from their 8 does seem a bit unrealistic but mainly because there's no point. A lot of players seem to want to play silly buggers for 10 minutes and then quit, presumably in order to luck into a player worse than them? How that helps them longer term I've no idea so I just turned the mic off and accepted that H2H is a shit show full of children.

Steelers are one of the better pure TT's right now but, depending on your scheme,  a 50/50 Steelers TT really has to be flexed at the following positions... LT, RT, TE, WR3, DT2, OLB, and CB3.   Even then you're not putting a lot of the best players in the game on the field.  It's Tyreek OR Calvin (not both) no decent linebackers other than maybe Watt (and that's a stretch)... RE Cam Heyward is barely usable... Minkah at FS is too slow at this point.  

Hopefully EA will continue to release good Steelers players... would love to see Mike Webster, Alan Faneca, Maurkice Pouncey, Dermontti Dawson, Mel Blount, Kevin Greene, Shazier, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, James Harrison, Gregg Lloyd, Joey Porter, Rod Woodson, Carnell Lake, Donnie Shell.

I personally just want to put the best team on the field that I can because my focus in MUT is to simply win games.  I have zero loyalty to my favorite team (Steelers).   

I used to always be a Legends TT guy until last year when they introduced the TT Remix promo which made true theme teams even better.  So last year I ended up with Ravens. Now that EA has eliminated Legends team chems completely... their strategy is to get guys like me to frequently change out our teams.  

We're only two months in... and I've made significant changes five times already... I started with best players available.  Then I went to Seahawks.  Then to Campus Heroes/Seahawks.  Then to Seahawks/Chiefs.  Now I'm on Chiefs/Steelers.  It's only a matter of time where I'll be switching over to the usual suspects (Cowboys... Raiders... Niners).  It's rough going for anyone rocking a true 50/50 TT this early in the year.

This is the reason i go with tall players in my secondary. I just feel like the taller guys go up and make a play. Not all the time but it definitely happens. When i had 85 6'3 Delpit, he jumped everything. 6'1 Terrell plays like he has Acrobat on my team. It's just so inconsistent lol

If you push in the right stick, the nearest non blitzing defender will rush the qb

Yea i'm definitely having fun, i just can't figure out defense this year. Even when i put guys in the right spot, they just stand there lol
