I think I'm trash.....

I feel like I play every coverage in this game and people constantly score regardless I switch up coverage  every scoring drive and people just throw seems. Every time they are completed KO and all I'm not the one to resort to cheese blitzes but to have josh allen run circles around your team with Luvu having the same accel is just mind boggling. read somewhere you have to shade up  or down cover 4? cover 3 is the most bodyslamable coverage?

did we get speed so fast to the point that  even backed up 15 yards you still get burnt? am I step late on a play? film study? 

these questions I ponder to myself 

sorry for the TEDtalk.....

Invest in fearmonger. Trust.

you do need a good blitz. Not saying you should running it every play but I figured out that you can't beat people by pure coverage in this game. Mix it up and adjust for opponents style. 

ppl try regs and you will understand.

Spam the actually bug plays,blitzes. The experience doesnt matter in this game.

Personally I heard its more mid. I run it myself in dime 2-4, and sometimes i think it works, but i HEARD from somewhere that the X-factor only works when engaged with blocker, otherwise he's just a normal player. I also have noticed that some x-factors have been super nerfed like i run ty law with avalanche and it's a struggle to get that one to work because I hit people all the time with him and barely any fumbles.

I can only speak for myself. It saved my ranked season.

Cover 4 shade down and pray.

Everyone runs conservative carrying in this game because the fumbles occur way too often.

This season of ranked reminded me that I am a mid ass player (44-44) in Madden 25. I was a fool to think I would be able to earn top 100. I quit after I hit champion 1.  

I will get someone in a 3rd and 25 or 4th and 25 and they will throw a drag and pick up 30 yards because the pursuit angles are trash in this game. Secondly, I don't know why  I get insta-shed every down. But, my opponents will be able to sit back in the pocket and playmaker some random ass player on the corner open for a deep pass. 

Even in regular H2H I lose to some bullshit cheese every damn time. They need an all-madden H2H. 

 I am terrible in the redzone. I'll get to the 1 yard line and cant punch shit in. I can't pass to the flat. I throw pick 6s if I pass to the middle at the 1 yd line. If I didn't spend money on this game I would sell my team off and uninstall this game.   The coverages are dogshit. The tackling is so damn bad. No matte how many abilities you have on your o-line the defense just sheds to get insta sacks, tackles for loss on the RB.  But, my opponents can run a stretch play 30 times and have amazing blocks.

For context, I have a 40/40 Eagles 20/20 Chiefs. 95 overall team. And will lose to a shit 92 overall team.

work on your switch stick and user. if you’re on play station i’d be happy to get into a play a friend game in mut with you and purposely throw concepts you can practise lurking on or switch sticking. 

you have to learn to recognise concepts and play patterns of your ops offence. Pressure helps 100% but if you don’t have a good user/switch stick, good players will tear you apart. Play defence as if you’re the QB. Who looks open? who would you pass too? And switch stick/ bail on user coverage to a different route as you think the op will throw too 

My user and switch sticking is pretty solid and wins me a lot of games, currently 46-10 in ranked and would chase top 100 if i had the time but unfortunately work calls. But i can provide you some good fundamentals if you are open to it!
