-when You are on defense and the O is having huge success with the run, it becomes very hard to stop because you have to call certain formations or plays to stop the run and if they’re any Good they’ll know once you’ve basically committed to stopping the run and then they hit you with good pass plays. Best advice I can give about stopping it is find your most versatile formation on defense, user the sub LBs and you both gotta be CRISPY in reading the run/play actions and make a play.

-if you are having consistent over throws, the one who is playing QB needs to figure out the timing of the pass better. Gotta find the sweet spot of timing with enough air on the pass and enough time for the receiver to get under it. Too much air = over throw or defender will catch up, not enough air = under thrown and INT

- Basically, was wondering say everyone is coming out in db fire or something sometime trap gets 8 yards a clip and other time there opposite de sheds instantly and stops it for -1 yards. Its always the same type of guys lets assume (donald, caveman, kerse, and sam adams even). It would make sense if its always the top of the line guys but just want to throw in sometimes its like below meta players. Thats why I was wondering if its soemthing small, like a qb contain or crash line inside, move inside and slant to side of rb or whatever the secret sauce is.
-and yea we dont have an issue of underthrowing it, its always overthrow( both to a cpu streak or user beat press streak) I was wondering if user error where like say I need to cut of the cb or I need to start drifting immediately after the ball is thrown.

-How do you stop the run in squads(knowing it coming, not like the occasional shotgun run to mix in), with two users. Do you call certain plays, or do you have certain spots you like to sit.
-also as the WR since you are Def coordinator, ill ask the same question as the other guy but do you ever have trouble running under a wide open deep ball, like it will be out of reach?
-Do you have any general tips like do you use the right stick to cut, when do you turbo on a route, do you use a release or just run starlight of the line. Any method for blocking on kickoff or down field as the wr.

Defense is a chess match. Personnel and play calling are important. I’ve been playing squads for a long time. I don’t live in one formation and have just a couple plays that I run. In the beginning of the season I run a lot of 3-4, as the game progresses and players get faster I run more nickel. Most players in todays game aren’t very good, they run the same couple meta plays, once you stop it they quit because they don’t know how to do anything else. There is one no perfect play that works for everything. My first advice is wait for the offense to pick a play before you do, see why formation they’re coming out in and use that as your guide and how you want to match up. If they pick deuce close, you’ll want bigger bodies on the field, come out in 3-4, 4-3. You can show blitz to bring guys down but most of the time you don’t need to. Read when the run is going once the play starts. Plug the gaps with your user and have good zone discipline, and don’t worry about hit sticking every time, just get in and make the tackle. Mix up your formations and play calls, don’t be predictable.

As the receiver, I run crispy routes, I will wreak any user in man. We run a scheme, so my QB knows where I’m going to be, I know when a user is too aggressive and when I can beat him over the top on a double or triple move. Most important is communication with your teammate, if it’s a random then there’s no advice, if it’s your buddy then communicate what you’re going to be doing so he knows where you’re going to be. Run your routes, a circle is not a route. recognize the coverage, if you see a soft spot, sit down and let your buddy know so he doesn’t lead the throw into the defense. Passing in this game is shit, some passes aren’t meant to be caught. If it’s a deep pass that your have to run way under, stay with it, run in a straight line and press X at the abs last second that you can. Either way you’re not going to catch every pass. I don’t use the right stick to cut, I make the user think I’m doing one thing and do something different. As far as blocking as a receiver downfield, just get your hands on somebody, anybody. The more you play, the better you get and the more things you start to recognize.
