Who do you guys typically user?

I decided to sell Willis and replaced him with Luke.  WOW, he's so much better, both as a CPU-controller player and a user.  I want to get Dave but will wait for (hopefully) Reduxes.  Do you really notice his 90 man coverage rating?

That's awesome to hear.  Ed Reed is a top 10 favorite player for me.

I definitely notice his man coverage when I am letting the CPU control him. Pretty soon his speed may not be enough to keep up, that's the only issue...but still Robinson is the best card I have played with all year on defense

I'm very excited to use him.  With Terry Tate getting Lurk Artist for 1 AP, I can run a base 4-3 defense for fun now.  That's what I've missed about this year so far, lol.

I user my left end and I get lots of sacks that way or Rush DT Strahan has been a beast 4 user sacks in my first game with him while usering line I play mostly man so I got all man Chems and bernard and Derwin james have been beastly getting me picks all the time same with alexander and ball hawk Polamolu was tough to get rid of as cpu he just gets it done for me.

Got my first user with Terrible Terry yesterday and it was fun. But honestly, he's noticeably slower than Kuechly. Although Terry does cause some fumbles. His hit stick animation is different.

You should try to mix in usering a LB or Safety, especially if you play online (h2h, MUT champs, etc). Against a quality opponent D Line users usually don't stand much of a chance. I learned this when I first started playing Madden many years ago.

I would but i am pretty bad usering at LB and safety my hand eye is a lil slower so Im doomed to get burnt anyway so I just play MUT Champs for stats and never H2H I know  I am doomed to lose 9/10 games what I win is the talent of the team not my skills on the sticks a I got an 89 team with a 90 defense to help what I lack in skills I love team building not playing H2H unless its my personal friends

Well, I get that. It can be fun playing on the D line.....good on you for playing the game despite hand-eye issues. I also hear you about team building, I built a team with 90 D and 91 O, and mostly with players I really like too.

Nice!  I've mostly just been rushing the passer with him for fun (and the fact I don't have a coverage LOLB yet, lol).  Really?  I'll have to take a look at that next time I get a hitstick with him.

Background:  I'm not really someone who plays a whole lot of H2H, but I used to user the DL.  I slowly got better and user all sorts of players now, including the secondary.  I typically stick to a linebacker with Lurker, or a safety at sub LB.  I occasionally still user the DL when I'm not getting a pass rush and I've found that to be effective.  I feel like who I user can be based on the situation, as well.  Like I'm not the best at defending the run, so I'll stick to a DL and let my linebackers and CPU go to work.

What about you guys?

Put lurk artist on terry tate, put him at DE, and user him. The game is weird but when you run stock 3 man rush like clockwork nobody will shed for the first 6 seconds almost every time. Except when you user a player on the dline that has a rush assignment, then you can get faster sheds and still have 8 men in coverage. That way when you want to user rush (which i do not recommend, but you do you, I get some people like it), it doesn't effect the rest of your defense. I like to do this out of BNOG, or Nickel 2-4-5.

Most of the time, I user one of my LBs whether that be one with lurk artist or a safety a sub LB. If I'm usering someone else that usually means my opponent caught me and snapped the ball while I was making an adjustment. But occasionally I'll user a CB or a safety if I think I have a good read on what my opponent is doing and I think that will be more effective at stopping the play than a getting my LB there.

Honestly, I try to avoid an dline at all costs. I'm probably worse than the cpu there. Any tips to get better at that would be appreciated. I'd like to at least decent at. I know you shouldn't user the dline on most downs against good players but there's probably some rare situations where it's useful.

Flick the sticks and see what your lineman have for moves. Some only have finesse moves like swim and I think club while rip and bull rush are power moves. You can’t just use any technique with any defender but some you can.

Thank you!  I'll try this next time I'm online.

Dude,  the guy has hand eye coordination issues,  I applaud his  bravery for saying that more than for saying how he prefers to play a video game.

Don't bury the lead....

In any case, good on him for playing the game the way he enjoys and on anyone who actually gave helpful tips in this thread . That's why it's a MUT COMMUNITY
