On offense, what is the best to counter the loop blitz in dollar

It seems like people purposely move the blitzers to the other side, so they dont get picked up?

Do you have to manually assign the RB to block the looper?

On defense, opponents offense will be in bunch...the will motion 1 of the bunch WRs across the field to the other side away from the bunch

For some reason, nobody picks up the WR, giving them a streak TD...even a zone safety shading deep and outside will ignore them

The only way I can stop this for now is to switch to user my deep safety...which eliminates my user from making other plays

I tried man align, base align..NOTHING works

On offense I run a lot of play action and motion cheat plays to beat any blitz. Idon't even bother trying to block blitzes most games because my game is to get the ball out fast where the user isn't or where the blitz leaves open. Running straight at the blitz also demoralizes them to get out of that trash more often than not.

On defense, any of those motion plays where the receiver runs across and then wheels or verticals, I just switch stick from the middle user who is in a mid zone to the safety that would normal leave them open. People will either force the issue for an easy int or they have to make an actual read with less time than they thought they would have which will usually mean an int, sack, incompletion or very little yardage. Practice switch stick so you can cover the middle as normal and move out when needed for plays like you're having trouble with.

Yes - running straight at the blitz, but I run hurry up and do it for a minute. Sometimes when I come back out they’re out of it.

Defending the motion play is really tough unless you are great at switch stick. I run a defense where a defender (a safety or cornerback) is blitzing off the edge and then I user him on the motion player. Boring because the people that run this play only run this play the whole game and so I at least get some practice defending it.
