Best user?

Who are you guys currently using? I like Sean Taylor but don't know who else I should run.  I got Barr but he seems to get burnt sometimes due to his slow accel.

I’ve been using Manti Te’o for most the year. 1ap lurk artist and hits 95speed and 99accel with theme team boosts.

Have you noticed his low COD in games?

I wont say I notice it but I’ve been using bigger/clunky players forever so I know their limitations and when to change directions. Don’t sprint all the time and strafe when playing the middle of the field. Takes a lil adapting but he comes down hill fast to take away drags and hit stick RBs

If you have a 40/20 or 20/20/20 TT Teo and Tillman are great and free.

i really like gronk, runs smooth for me and is the best imo of the tall users. can't stand jimmy graham, dude is stuck in mud and will get abused by crossers. i agree on teo especially as a budget user, man gets like 94-95 speed and 99 acc. only downside is as you stated a bit low COD and his zone is bad if you have to switch stick off or press a corner early

Sean Taylor

Sean Taylor & Gronk as my 2 sub lb and outside backers then I have Jimmy Graham as my mlb i think this is one of the better setups

I also use Taylor and Gronk...My Teo is 96 speed with 40/20 TT so it's internally debated.  I currently only use him in running or zero blitz situations.

This until I get Simmons!

Sean T and Mike Singletary as well. I might sell Jimmy Graham and Gronk because they are too bulky on their cut backs. It's like moving a tank to lurk passes.

This is a VERY good question -- Sean T. is far and away one of the best USERs in the entire game.  Wish he were just a touch taller, but hard to argue with the SPD, ACC and high COD.  However, i play a "bend but don't break" style defense, essentially giving up the little dink and dunk stuff, trying to keep everything underneath me and hopefully not get burned by the big plays, forcing my opponent to work for every yard, thereby attempting to force mistakes.  As such, i think i'm going to tinker with the new Crushing AKA Icon and pay 3AP for Avalanche.  YMMV, he has some serious drawbacks, so i'm going to slap the +2 COD / +2 AGI purple Epic Strategy item on top, to at least get his Change of Direction up to 90.

I've been through the gamut; Gronk (high COD, but still feels clunky due to large player model maybe?), Anthony Barr (used him the longest, but low ACC caused me to get absolutely cooked if anyone turned on a dime, i couldn't chase them), Jack Gibbens... mostly relying on Sean T. these days, or the ole Calvin Johnson Safety, but he's naked, no abilities.  I tend to Man him up on an opponent's receiver that is killing me.  YMMV, i haven't really used this new card yet, so take anything i'm suggesting with a grain of salt.  This is how i'm hoping it works out.
