Man coverage vs Shotgun Trips TE Flex Mtn Y Post is RUINING THE GAME

Slightofhand67 said:

I’ve been getting hit with the double pass garbage every game. while switching to man deals with it, they can just use the same formation and pass regularly and man gets roasted. Game is coded so poorly. Why is double pass in the game!? If you can’t code it DON’T ADD IT

I’ve been grinding all year to start running into that crap and it’s killed my desire to play the game. Especially house rules that requires you to string together 9 wins in a row, fighting through all this glitch garbage…

At this point I have to pause the game from the start, check everyone’s xfactors for momentum shift, sub out for the first play if necessary, then be on point to switch to man for the double pass, which doesn’t always work. If I stop it, they run the same play and try to throw to the running back. If I user the DE and try to tackle the guy throwing the double pass I sometimes miss and it’s game over - them dancing in the end zone and me screaming. It’s no longer playing the game I invested in - it’s become something of a chess match between two lobotomy outpatients…

Turn off auto flip… your DB’s will stay in their space and tends to confuse the cheeser

This is what I do.

You are crying about man coverage not working you must be an entitled American

I’ve seen this play ran against me, what off playbook is it in ?

It's currently in just three playbooks, all of which are absolutely high-end, perhaps one of, if not THE, most dominant play in the entire game: https://huddle.gg/25/playbooks/philadelphia-eagles-off/gun-trips-te-flex/mtn-y-post/

1. Detroit Lions
2. Las Vegas Raiders
3. Philadelphia Eagles

So much versatility from a single play, the spacing is incredible, allowing us to attack various areas of the field, depending upon what our opponent is dictating.  Puts the USER defender in conflict, it's a universal beater, in the sense that it's fantastic against both Man and Zone coverages.

Its become the biggest cheese of the year

I now see this play all the time...everyone knows it...basically 1 WR runs across the formation into a wheel route - see diagram below

The huge issue is...for some reason, the CB whos manned up against this motion WR runs in slow motion like hes hungover and can never catch the motion WR

In real football, the CB manned up would sprint across the formation, easily catch the motion WR and man him up

But just in case he slipped or some reason...you also have the Deep Safety covering the deep out zone...at least you think you did...but you are wron

The deep safety will ignore this WR as if hes a ghost...

So basically you have to either user you CB or Safety to cover the motion WR...because EA sucks at programming

With your user out of the way, they have multiple other options...the RB on a quick slant, the TE cutting over the middle

 A SIMPLE SOLUTION..>FIX MAN COVERAGE IN MOTION so the DBs run across the field the same speed as motion WRs

Then I can keep my user on my Sub LB

If you run man coverage hell yeah imma use this play. Great man beater. ppl who run man all game lack the skills to put out elite zone coverages and can’t switch stick. This play is easy to stop. The only thing you should be complaining about is the double pass I refuse to use that type of cheese.

So many problems with this game would be solved if EA would just delete glitched plays from playbooks. take the broken plays out of the game. I want to play strategic football. the game is actually very fun, but all these nerds Who run the same broken plays are so disappointing.

95% of the people run it in house rules now

This and dollar loop blitz have made house rules unplayable

I agree but all I do to adjust is press and it seems to work for me. Hope this helps.

I tried Zone

Zone DBs ignore the motion WR

run a hard flat or  switch stick

I've been burnt by this play today non stop. I had 8 games won and this play beat me. Is this play really that effective or am I just s horrible player?

another simple solution is to not run man vs this play

it will occasionally beat cover 4 match but in theory cover 3 and or cover 4 drop will stop this play. it’s the double pass that’s annoying my only solution for the double pass is to recognize it and used a safety to take it away

Wait, I know... there is totally a counter for it right? I just need to git gud. Or that's what I'm told.

The truth is that half of the stuff I bring up here is apparently unpublished low-key cheese that most of the folks here don't typically see done right. Until the AI gets completely rewritten, we're going to have unplayable MUT for weeks at a time. Patches won't cut it anymore, because every patch applied unpatches something else.
