How do I stop getting beat deep?

I was doing GODLY last night and then this guy, who I should have beaten, kept on passing on me and I had no idea how to stop it. This is my first week playing online and I'm learning as I go. 

I tried man and my guys didn't want to cover, I tried that man zone type of plays and they didn't want to cover, I did what the game suggested and no one wanted to cover. 

Nothing worked. 

On deep passing (passing plays overall really) does this have anything to do with usering? 

Also, about 90% of the time I have no idea what the opponent is doing on offense unless it's a play I run in my own offense. 

Here is my team if the problem is there.

Thank you for your time.

Imo, the best way to stop coverage is to make sure you are usering a linebacker or safety. Are you doing that?

I know what usering is but I do not know how to do it. 

I pick one of my ends and rush the QB.

I would go into practice mode and just work on that. It should really help you play defense

Way to much ap on your dline. Put that ap on your corners. Zone abilities for example boost knockout and reaction. Will help.

Dline abilities get counter too cheaply, they’re not worth besides on Milk Man due to his xfactor, only his xfactor

Everyone's adjustments are different, I always run my CBS or dbs to play the wr, once I notice they're just chucking it deep often I user a zone safety. While others plan man, don't press. And based on who needs the help is who I will run to with the safety. Abilities will help your ai or user play better. Adjustments will help the game as well and ap abilities

Is double or nothing worth it on Mean Joe Greene?

Not unless it’s free

In my opinion the best way to learn how to user is to play H2H and lose a bunch of games by learning.

Don’t focus too much on trying to win. On offense try a bunch of different plays and watch what your opponent is doing. If you’re playing against someone really good watch their user and learn from them.

This game takes a lot of practice to recognize plays/coverages/tendencies and it all gets much easier the more you play and the more you try to learn.

Also know that even after years of H2H you will still get matched up with people that completely shred your defense. Some people are very good at this game and they’ve been playing for a very long time.

If I understand what you're saying, you control a safety and run to the CB that's being beaten?

Yessir. Usually not pressing and running man with one zone safety. Sometimes a zone lb. Short passes are pretty covered and mid is decent. But depending If the offensive user adjust or motions. A deep ball is always a worry. The only positions I personally user Is safety or d line, but I'll always stay somewhat mid to deep with safety to help which cb gets beat, it's a process I was God awful at pass coverage when I first started

I'm trying to learn from who I played. 

The guy who I should have beaten kept on messaging me on Xbox saying that I was trash. After the game I thanked him for the game and asked if he was a good player but he never got back to me. I wanted to know if I did well against a good player or meh against a meh player. 

I cannot pass AT ALL. I do the safest passing plays and most get intercepted. 

Defense is really a problem. I want another CB and a good ROLB and then I think I need a Cheetah type WR on offense. Someone that I can pass short and have them get yards after the catch. 

I also use the spread offense which is called like balanced passing I think and I like that for the running plays and QB option runs but I don't have any passing plays I trust passing.

That’s unfortunate that he kept saying you’re trash. I have messages blocked so I don’t see any of that stuff.

Sounds like you’re on the right track with trying to learn and get better. Once you recognize coverages you will get better at passing but right now you will be throwing a lot of interceptions while you’re learning. 

Not sure what your goal is with the game but if you want to get better at passing you have to pass more. The only way to learn is to practice.

I wouldn’t worry about getting a better ROLB unless you use them regularly. If you are running Nickel, Dime, Dollar formations then the ROLB doesn’t even need to be on the field.

its unfortunate but sometimes you gotta learn cheese to win in h2h. My recommendation is to pick a formation and figure out how to beat

man

cover 2, 3, 4

match

double mable

man with flats 

and then on defense it’s important to switch between various types of defenses (like those above). Each has a different weakness, and I wouldn’t run match unless you study the zones. Watch some Spruce Goose on YouTube. Don’t feel pressured to use the same formations as YouTubers, just pick a formation or group of formations where you feel comfortable. I have an 89 OVR team and I am 6-4 in mut champs this week so not great but I beat god squads with a budget team so I’m satisfied.
