what defense are you rocking?

Turn auto flip off if u haven’t already that might help. I think both the ends loop so idk if it’s bc the line isn’t pinched or one is getting stuck. Sean T is a good option for a replacement for Anderson bc Vikings TT doensnt rly have anybody to put there and Sean T gets unstoppable force always on. U could also get Madabuike upgraded and move Jared Allen to the edge which would work fine and save u coins. Ur secondary looks good even with Patterson bc that card is fast asl. Harold and Ted are great safeties just make sure u have someone to back them up if u wanna run one of them at sub lb

Ty. I just picked up Sean Taylor. I have LT and Shazier at sub lbs with Ted and Carmichael at traditional safety spots. I really like the height up top.

What's your ability points used on?

O sry I didn’t answer mb I run avalanche ,secure tackler, and pick artist on my safeties. I run Shutdown on Moss bc he doesn’t get avalanche then pick artist and I think a man KO of some sort. Peterson and Patterson I’d say run pick artist with a man KO then run double or nothing on every player on your d line. Then use avalanche, lurk artist and flat zone on ur LBs so they get knockouts. Then if someone keeps spamming man beating mesh and ur having trouble stopping it switch to cover 2 zone with hard flats on 0 in the same formation and run a cover 0 shell to make it look like ur running ur normal man. Then they often end up throwing it right to ur zone.

Great stuff ty. Is it not recommended to run pass rushing abilities on sub lbs in stead of kos and lurker? I generally user the db that is responsible for the HB and get a 6 man rush.

If ur blitzing the LBs than pass rush abilities are good fs. I would say rotate having the LBs in curl flats on 15 and blitzing them to keep ur opponent guessing

My most successful approach is not with any one formation or playbook. I play bend-don't-break defense.

What's your lineup like right now?

User taylor and Ed too tall

Dline smith Reggie LT

Corners moss Owens peanut and ngata

Safety Carmichael and Hendricks 

all avalanche secondary lol except for moss and maybe TO

Jets 4-3 base. Like verticality of it. Everything I need to stop the run and pass.

I've been primarily using the Cardinals playbook and using the 4-6-1 Even, 3-4 Odd, and 3-3-5 Penny formations.

When I'm in the 3-4 or the Penny I like to rush 5 and play man behind it and user the FS.

When I'm in the 4-6-1 I play cover 4 show blitz and put the coverage underneath then put one safety in a hook zone and user the MLB.

I've found that a 5 man rush is the only consistent way to get to the CPU QB without running cover 0 where the CPU automatically just throws the ball away quickly. If I rush 4 and play zone coverage behind it, even with DoN/Edge/Interior Threat on all my DL the CPU still has all day to throw or just scrambles or throws underneath my zones.

My lineup is:

• EDGE - ZaDarius Smith (Edge Threat)
• DT - Calais Campbell (Inside Zone + Interior Threat)
• DT - Jeffrey Simmons (Inside Zone + Interior Threat)
• DT - Nnamdi Madubuike (DoN)
• EDGE - Aidan Hutchinson (Edge Threat)
• WILL - Cam Newton (Enforcer, Mid Zone KO, Lurk Artist)
• MLB - Sean Taylor (Reinforcement, Mid Zone KO, Enforcer Supreme, Lurk Artist)
• SAM - Rob Gronkowski (Mid Zone KO, Lurk Artist, Enforcer)
• FS - Sean Taylor (Enforcer, Lurk Artist)
• SS - Isaiah Simmons (Inside Shade, Outside Shade, Secure Tackler, Pick Artist)
• SS2 - Kyle Hamilton (Inside Shade, Lurk Artist)
• CB1 - Trevon Diggs (Inside Shade, Pick Artist)
• CB2 - Herb Adderly (Inside Shade, Pick Artist)

My lineup is completely tailored to my scheme and play style and the 3 formations I run primarily.

This is a philosophy-based take of mine, so you may not find value in it, but it’s the best answer I can give to you. I run Avalanche and Enforcer (along with Extra Pop) on Ryan Shazier, and I also run Selfless to trigger Blitz on Nick Bosa. For everyone in the secondary, I don’t waste abilities on Avalanche because the guys that will give me fits are the ones that conservative-catch everything outside or over the linebackers, and then the ability ends up being worthless. At least with reaction abilities, I have a shot at breaking up the passes.

For me back when I played online, and even now when I play offline, I think Avalanche and the other Hit Stick abilities are there for the run game. Everyone is coming downhill so being able to cause fumbles in the run game and essentially scare your opponent out of running the ball entirely is where those abilities hold value.

You either run the ball and risk a turnover if you get tackled (which is very likely), or you pass every play. I think for me (I just run Enforcer on a ton of my guys), it just helps build another thing your opponent needs to keep track of and think about.

I find that Enforcer with Avalanche + Extra Pop on my user gets me about as many recovered fumbles as Enforcer and Avalanche + Extra Pop on the entire crew. The value-added component isn’t there with the latter.

My opponent is going to pass aggressively in most situations because I don’t have reaction/KO abilities on my defenders. Why make it easier for them to complete passes? By your logic, maybe they’ll risk running against my lineup because they only see one Enforcer. Then I’ll have them!
