I'm sorry. But Man coverage is still way too OP.

Played two guys back to back, damn near locked me up the whole time. I have slot o matic. I have route technician. It didn't make the playing field more level. i have 92 Andre Johnson, 92 Reggie Wayne, 91 Roddy white, 90 Amari Cooper. Are they the best WRs in the game, no? But they should be good enough to get fucking open every now and again. It's complete BS.

It's good but not OP. Man isn't my thing but I see why other use it a lot

People are seriously undervaluing run blocking traits on their WR. My WRs can also run block effectively, so if my opponent comes out in dime or nickel, I can easily run it down their throat because their CBs are getting manhandled by my WRs. If they go heavy, you can pass no problem

Interesting. So are you putting Zone block on them? Or power run? Or one of those chems?

I have 35/40 zone run

BTW, Vincent Jackson is the perfect player for this strategy. He run blocks like a TE, and he has good height, speed, and catching stats. I put him in the slot to try to create a mismatch. He'll steamroll corners in the run game, hold his own against LBs, fly by slower LBs, and he's got 7 inches on smaller faster guys like Mills.

Cool thanks for the info. Maybe I should take all my APs off my WRs, and go all in on RBK APs.

Use stretch and rpo run plays I haven’t had a game under 100 yards yet.

Out of single back formation? I'll have to check this out. Thanks

if your route running thresholds aren't at least 90, you're gonna have a bad time

All my short ones are, most the medium ones too. But these assholes just take away any and all routes 10 yards or less. And you have no shot at a deep pass.

It’s to make the game easier for average or unskilled players. Run the ball, play man, user Dline... that’s why there are so many adjustments to the D line abilities. The two are 100% correlated.

yup and its only going to get worse wait until a good amount of corners start meeting the threshold and have theme team chems gonna be pure hell going against man every play. Mix that in with the user speed boost spamming running around the field "still" locking up every route. EA nerfs LB users but safeties are still the same as last year in terms of how much ground they can cover.

All these people run the same defense. Either cover 1 or 2 man with a QB Spy, and they user their FS/SS in the middle. And when something works against it, they then start floating other positions into zones to take away those routes, while usering the middle. Unless you have 4 fast, deep threat WRs, you can't do shit. Amd the few times my WRs beat them deep, and had two steps on them, I chuck the ball and their fucking CBs all of a sudden have a rocket jammed up their ass, and sprint past my WR like Usain Bolt at an Elementary track and field competition.

Beyond op. Did you see how joke was locking up bunch last night?

I didn't watch it. But it's literally ruining the game when you can't run, and you can't pass because both things are completely being shut down.

You can definitely run the ball...

You can lock up the run this year out of the dime with 3 down lineman and a decent user.

I run all my plays out of shotgun formations. So speaking from that, no, you can't run. I was doing HB dives and FB dives, getting 1-3 yards a carry at best. Perhaps a different formation would work better?

WinterSkoldier

I run better out of shotgun than heavy formations. No explanation why. I just get better results.

Yeah the madden 20 meta... better to pass/run out of heavy
