How do I stop getting beat deep?

I was doing GODLY last night and then this guy, who I should have beaten, kept on passing on me and I had no idea how to stop it. This is my first week playing online and I'm learning as I go. 

I tried man and my guys didn't want to cover, I tried that man zone type of plays and they didn't want to cover, I did what the game suggested and no one wanted to cover. 

Nothing worked. 

On deep passing (passing plays overall really) does this have anything to do with usering? 

Also, about 90% of the time I have no idea what the opponent is doing on offense unless it's a play I run in my own offense. 

Here is my team if the problem is there.

Thank you for your time.

1. I still user 92 Kyle Hamilton because I'm cheap and he disappoints me more than he impresses me, but I should have gotten Hitman and you have him.

2. Put Hitman at Sub Linebacker and your backup SS will play Deep.

3. Get a FS or SS just because of speed purposes and put them at only sub LB 2 and not in at SS 2 or FS or FS 2.

4. Get better corners or at least faster or taller ones, because Eric Allen is a waste of a team captain based on his size and speed and not getting discounted abilities.

5. I use 4-6 playbook for D and mainly run Dollar zone and Nickell 3-3 Cub zone, with a little 3-3 sprinkled in on 3rd and 10+, only use Man if the other guy has a horrible team.

6. Play Mut Champs and you will learn more than on H2H Seasons because of better players and less long games.

7. Do your Dailies to get up on the passes and get more free players

8. On offense do whatever you find fun that works, I've ran Rams Tight Flex before (best passing, but worst running), Saints Tight TE Offset (best pass and run combo, also what most pros run), Raiders Y Off Trips (very complex and next gen favored, but is very solid), Lions Tight (don't run PA Slot Cross unless you want to throw picks, but a high powered offense), currently using Chiefs Trio Offset WK and Pistol Wing Flex Close and Bunch TE(RPO's with Quadfather and Lamar that either go 2 plays 90 yards or get stopped after 5 plays)

9. Use Pick Artist and Deep Out Zone KO on your two outside CB's and use Deep In or Out and Pick Artist on your two deep safeties, with Flat Zone or Short Route KO (I man up my Slot onto a WR close to him or the RB) on your slot.

10. Always make sure that when in Cover 3, Cover 4, or Cover 2, that certain plays are supposed to beat it like Trey Offset Dagger or PA Slot Options or just the typical Crossers with the TE going on a streak. The number thing in Madden is learn your opponents tendencies and go to formations and play and counter that with either your user or a play or even an adjustment, like changing a guy from a curl flat to a hard flat or setting your coach adjustments to conservative on options, set your zone lengths and turn off auto flips and go into base or man align depending on whether your playing zone or man.

Bump ; )

Reed and/or Neal isn't good enough? 

I also have the 95 Ted Hendricks. 

Would any of those work?

Thank you for your time.

Just tap triangle then Shade overtop using right stick up then press the triangle again and give cushion by moving left stick up. Now the only way they beat you deep is over 50 yards or if you’re not rushing the at all. Send minimum of 4.  Don’t user any dlineman unless you intend to pull into coverage bec they do the job automatically. At this point if you’re absolutely sure its a pass you can pass commit by tapping R1 and then left stick up.  but you won’t need this and if he runs it’s a minimum 15 years gain of not a TD. So you only pass commit in absolutely certain times he’s passing.  lastly the most important thing is the abilities on ur dbs.

I’m also a new MUT player I took a break from it for years then recently I was messing around and got the Brady from TVPs and now I’m back in the game fully. I figured out the meta defenses because I figured that’s the best way to start to relearning it and I even won my first super bowl on my first head to head run losing only 1 game in the process.  but I feel as I progress my lack of knowledge in which abilities to run and which are worth the AP on my dbs and users is gonna come back to bite me. Any suggestions on good abilities for me if I am trying to run zone in dollar and nickel formations?

I'm trying to learn from who I played. 

The guy who I should have beaten kept on messaging me on Xbox saying that I was trash. After the game I thanked him for the game and asked if he was a good player but he never got back to me. I wanted to know if I did well against a good player or meh against a meh player. 

I cannot pass AT ALL. I do the safest passing plays and most get intercepted. 

Defense is really a problem. I want another CB and a good ROLB and then I think I need a Cheetah type WR on offense. Someone that I can pass short and have them get yards after the catch. 

I also use the spread offense which is called like balanced passing I think and I like that for the running plays and QB option runs but I don't have any passing plays I trust passing.

lotta guys online are toxic for no reason, dont let it stop you from playin online to learn, lost about 90% of my games when i started playing now i win about 60% after only a month of playing definitely best way to get better is playing online

Thank you for your time.

Defensive formations are important.

 3-4 defense has 3 dbs, 4 linebackers (Run D)

nickel has 5 dbs, 2 linebackers (standard)

Dime has 6 dbs (pass)

 Quarter has 8 I believe (deep pass) 
Hope this helps a little

Learning from experience is one of the best ways to get better at H2H. Usering a safety at SubLb is the first change you need to make. Abilities on your DBs should take precedence over D-line.

Do what everyone else does.....put ko abilities on your players to bail you out

1. User Hendricks and put Hitman as your true SS because Hendricks is ass in coverage.

2. Put Reed as your true FS and put Peppers as your Sub LB 2 just based on his size and run stopping ability along with Reed having 75 tackling.

3. How many coins do you have? I have 1.2M and pulled MVS out of the 1 dollar pack because of having a spare 100 points on my account (I only spent 25$ on Blitz and a 25$ gift card on new years special offer)

4. https://www.mut.gg/23/lineup-builder/04d9d2d4-b650-447c-9df0-db7a5ed516e8/# This is my team and I went 13-12 ths week on Mut Champs because I'm trying to get Nahshon Wright because my goal is to get 2 great zone CB's and a user, a LG, maybe a C, and get a MLB, RE, and LE for overall purposes. I have had Flacco, MJG, King Henry, and the ZC Brady. I am going to try Spread Singleback Doubles North. I am probably going to sell MVS and do my best to have fun with the game.

5. I'm on PS4 and we can't chat obviously but no matter how toxic they are just think that Mommy's credit card can only get them so far in life ; ]

Your conerds are pretty mid maybe a really good safety too.

just curious who is your slot receiver

I wouldn't put Ted Hendricks at ss . he's best at sub lb user. Keanu Neal at ss. he has better Man and zone

show your corners some love

TBH as a nms player zone works well. If you dont have a good corner or 2 man is a death sentence.
