Defense just isn't fun

I just noticed something and I'm surprisingly doing better on defense than the average person (average 12 points against in h2h) and I noticed the PC users on the leaderboard are also way better on defense than the leaders of other platforms. Even though the top 20 are almost exclusively console. Somehow it seems like defense works better on PC than console, but offense is nerfed...maybe somehow this is a bizarre coincidence.

I agree with the premise of what the op was saying.

Even on MF Solo Challenges, if I don't restart the game on PS5 (leave MUT open between play sessions), the CPU will be utterly unstoppable no matter what I do. Restart the game & the difficulty seems to reset to what it claims to be in the challenge. I'm not the best player/play to relax after work & the inconsistency of the difficulty, especially on defense, does become frustrating.

Only thing I dont like is run toters, but what else is new. Zone is good (enough) for now

Defense takes a little more thinking right now than people are used to, especially with how brain dead all the cover 0 loop + press meta made everyone play.

Without that, you actually have to PLAY defense, and right now without any truly elite edge rushers or interior rushers most people don't know how to play defense.

I would say if you're having trouble just play coverage and contain rush and go from there. Shade over the top, adjust your hook drops to about 15 yards and then adjust again if they start throwing mesh concepts at you.

Nothing is fun.  The game is totally decided by things you don't have control over.

I just had a game where Clowney from an end position picked off a pass to Pitts from Montana on a corner route 20 yards from the LOS.

There is no universe where Clowney can cover Pitts from an end position.  I rage quit and sold my team.   I went from 88 ovr to 85 over with lower cards and NATs and gained 6.7 million coins.

I spend a couple of thousand dollars every year on this game.

I wont be playing H2H or spending money any more this year unless a patch makes the game playable.  

People complain about god squads, but people who fund the game by buying packs to build a god squad should see some benefit.

I can win 60% of my games without spending money or using glitches.  When I spend 2 or 3 thousand dollars, I should be able to win 80% + of my games, but at best spending that money only makes about 5% difference in how many games i win.  

I don't have many hobbies so a couple of thousand of dollars a year isn't really a big deal since i don't golf, fish, or hit the club.  Video games are what I blow money on, but there aren't many games where blowing money is as useless as Madden with running on its same broken frostbite system that we've had for years.
