How is this happening?

I'm using the strat card that gets you to 99 man and zone in the most feared seasons thing. Why am i getting burned in man coverage with 99 man coverage going up against high 80s route running?

Welcome to mut where stats don't matter. It's a ability game

How did my 93 speed Avonte Maddox get run down from behind by an offensive lineman on a sure fire pick 6?

Answer: because the game wanted him to.

Most outcomes in this game are RNG driven.

Unfortunately, this is just how madden works. It's my understanding that 99 man and 99 zone coverage don't actually play all that different from 90 man and 90 zone because of the thresholds for those stats. We currently have players with 90 man or 90 zone, and I'm sure people will tell you those players get burned in coverage as well.

SportsPerson94,

Is it possible that the Most Feared Strategy Cards are both trick & treat? Contemptible Coverage may be doing that intentionally. I noticed that my coverage was worse than it should have been at the start of the game, but it improved drastically near the end of the game.

that's because basically everyone had 99 everything and we're 6"3 and above. this year i think speed and height matter more than ever. i don't think abilities even run the game. just certain builds are better than others.

I just don't understand what the point of these morphing cards are if they don't do shit anyway. The only noticeable one is the 7 foot tall players. Everything else is pointless

i play the MF h2h event without any of the morphs lol. id just rather run my players stock than have stats downgraded

Thresholds stop at 90 so 99 doesnt add anything else. 

But abilities > stats
