Thanks for your answer, do you mean to use a nickel defense instead of 4-3 defense? What I do is I always sub on the fly per play. But only the ones that the difference in OVR's are by 1 or 2 for OPP's. Some positions and players seem to have a 4 and even 5 score difference. Which makes sense if that player has a lower score on an attribute that is important for that position.
So, do you think putting a SS with a 90 OVR would play better than a CB with 88 OVR even though the SS would drop down to an 86 OVR. The main reason I would do this is for the slot so I can get a better run stopper plus a 90 OVR SS would have a higher rating in most of the key attributes for that position. I am wondering since the OVR goes down to an 86, shouldn't that mean he may play like an 86 with all or some of his attributes lowered?
None of the attributes are lowered. It’s really stupid. I mostly run some sort of nickel so I always have have safeties at linebacker, but I also but OLB’s at end and ends at tackle. I do this because madden is mostly just a speed game. To answer your question about putting a SS at slot corner, I think I depends what coverage you run. If you run mainly zone and you slot corner is in some kind of underneath zone, sure you can put a run stopping safety there. But if you run man, you would need someone that would be able to cover a TE. I would recommend Derwin James, or if you can afford it, Jamal Adams when his redux comes out on Friday.
I know but I don't have close to the coins needed. I saw this post where people are saving 3-5 Million and still have a 92 OVR team. They must live and breathe Madden solos all day. I know none of them will admit to how many packs they buy. Anyways what do you think about the Honey Badger, has decent speed, good man and zone, a little low on the run stop, but I could add an ability to help.
I have the Power Up Mathieu and I have him at a 92 OVR with Chem. The best part is when he gets an interception because Honey Badger doesn't care. I do use Derwin also because he has a good hit power, tackle, and fast. The only problem with Derwin is he just misses the elite Man coverage threshold and that is after a plus 2 on Zone. He also misses the Zone Threshold for Deep and Hooks. I don't know exactly how much of an advantage that would be, but in Madden, it's a game of inches and milliseconds and I'm sure missing a threshold is coverage could be costly.
Yeah I would put Honey Badger at slot corner. I know what zone thresholds you are talking about, but Mutleaks also put out a graph on reaction time by zone rating, and it goes all the way up to 99. I’m going to look into if there are actually zone thresholds.
Some players are eligible for an OOP change for 500 TP, which will allow you to keep them in your lineup OOP with their chems intact. I have Suh, Donald, Mathieu, Mack OOP. Had Incognito switch guard spots (I think he may be able to play center, too).
The OLine is where I see big differences, have you noticed anything when you switched positions in the front five? The tackle position I think would be ok left or right, but guard to the center?
The attributes don’t change but you can’t use a chemistry on players OOP. I would just change players by formation in game

Are you talking about the Superstar MVP Tyrann? Because if so Derwin is cheaper
