Sounds like you're new to the NFL and not just Madden. I'm from the UK and have been following the NFL for 10 years and playing Madden about the same.
If you don't understand the NFL rules, that would be a good place to start as otherwise the whole game won't make sense to you. It's easy to grind solos and play around with the player cards but you'd have no chance in a full game. So where to start depends on your level of experience and what you want to get out of the game. Playing the tutorials and start to understand the different positions and rules would be a good starting point. Also watching a lot of games outside of Madden would be good, do you have a team you follow?
Hi mate, thanks for the reply. I'm fairly new to the NFL but I understand all the basic rules and how the game is played.
I've been following the Chiefs mostly because of Pat Mahomes and Honey Badger...
I just want to get to a level where I can play some online games and win half of my games or somewhere to that level...
I played Madden towards the end of the year last year and I really enjoyed just playing solo challenges tbh but it would be good to play online at some point too...
I think I struggle with which plays to make and how to defend properly atm but most of the solos are relatively simple to me atm
Best bet is probably finding your way through the Chiefs playbook, pick plays on offence and defence based on positioning rather than randomly, and get used to knowing what each does. Like maybe play a whole match out of Shotgun or a whole match out of Cover 3 defence and get familiar with what's available within the playbook and find some go-to plays for each position on the field. I still struggle all the time on understanding my opponents set up and adjusting on the fly, but I haven't played a lot online because it just frustrates me!
Yeah I think that is it, I don't understand the difference between most of the formations, should I be usering certain players? I've been trying to use Honey Badger but don't know who I should be covering or if he's even the right person to use haha.
I guess it's all a big learning curve but I just want to understand what plays to pick at certain times...
I've found myself passing to players just ahead of the line of scrimmage and finding success doing that...
Also, I can see that there is obviously the player with the red route and the others have yellow ones, should I be aiming for the ones with the red routes more?
Sorry I'm such a noob hahaha
Most new people start by using their user as a D Lineman. I’d recommend LB. get used to using a LB before adjusting to a safety. This will help you get use to recognition of a run or pass and the inside routes of the TE/Slot. Practice is needed so don’t get frustrated and just keep getting experience from each game. The more you win the harder the competition
Hi mate, thanks for the reply. Do you recommend any good LBs? Should I be using the MUT Master guy? I've been thinking about picking up Khalil Mack but don't know if it's worth upgrading my offence or defence first?
