Help. Someone. Anyone. Please

Obviously I'm playing WL right now, and I'm on a freaking crazy losing streak (about 5 games) and it's all a result of this Bunch Offset Dot you up Corner route bullcrap that nothing that I do will ever stop. So I ask, all you competitive freaks, how the hell do you play defense?

I know that I ask this every week but what the hell do I do? Anything that I run gets dotted up and when I find a good pass defense they run stretch or dive and cut it outside and the pursuit angles are so bad in this game that they get 10+ yards, when if I did the same thing they would stop me.

I don't understand how you play defense in this game. Everyone else is SOOOOOO amazing against me and I can't do jack against these one formation scumbags.

I really need help. Suddenly nothing is working for me at all in any game, and I'm giving up so many bs touchdowns.

I just can't catch a break ever. When I play good defense, some bs fluke happens and they catch the ball in triple coverage.

I just really don't know what to do anymore man. I'm so sick and tired of being bad at the game and I want to be a good player but I just can't. Believe me, I want it so bad but it's like the whole Madden world keeps pushing me down, and on top of that they kick me when I'm down.

Like dude, look at this team. It's a 98 OVR and plays like a 78. Such a waste to upgrade anything. Obviously I'm broke and can't get anyone new, like the mEtA players. Kind of stupid how bad this team plays.

I just want someone to tell me why in the actual hell does nothing that I do work. I run the same plays as my opponent sometimes and they get all the yards and I can barely manage 2 yards on most plays. I'm averaging 3 picks per game and I just feel really in a dark place with this game. I have the team that I want, but I can't win with that team. I'm sorry that I'm not a one formation WFT Theme Team, but that shouldn't be the difference of whether I win or lose.

I shouldn't have to cheese to win

I am having trouble having fun with this game anymore.

I’ve been there...am there, but when I’m on a bad losing streak I start playing dumb so I have to stop for a while. Usually I play much better after I take a break.

same. madden fatigue is real :)

Spoke too soon. I'm 4-4 now, and 2 of those losses came from toters. I never want to see stretch again.

Use clouds at 25 and curls at 0

MicahTheGOAT

Curls at 5.

I'm with you bro. I've been running the exact same offense for 5 years straight. I can always find a hole in any defense, but this year is different. I refuse to run bullshit I like to win with concepts but I'm definitely being tested. Then flip the field and I can't stop a bad player who has memorized a super cheesy script. I used to be able to adjust from c3 and shut a lot of things down but now I may have to rethink everything. It's always a bunch formation that does it to. I may try match coverage tonight.

There’s no one thing that’ll bag that offense. That’s why so many people run it. I’m not a super sweaty competitive type, but one thing I’ll do is try to create pressure. I generally play cover four or cover three with a d-line or sublb spy. Put my curl flat drops at 20. The second they roll out, I click the right stick and send my spy toward the qb. I can user the side of the field they’re rolling to. It’s not foolproof but it gives them some trouble sometimes.

And got so far

It doesn’t even matter

I felt that

Bunch offset gets match coverage every down. No questions asked

m1k3y6i2

Is it bad if I don't even know what match is or how to run it

MicahTheGOAT

yeah it's really the best way to combat bunch IF you know how to run it. You might have to get into some double mabling and using outside quarters for the corner route. It'll match the corner but you can get bombed so make sure that safety is in a deep half, or you user it

Match means those purples will play the man (that’s my understanding)

First of all, never use WL as a barometer for anything. WL is dice rolls on steroids and behind-the-scenes shenanigans I only wish we could understand. Second, I've seen these guys, and the best I can say is work your zone drops accordingly, and don't let the MFers roll out. I've been running a lot of corner blitzes on this formation, then adjusting the field accordingly.
