I can’t win a game

I don’t get to play often but when I do I quickly try to get a couple of packs in the store and keep my team somewhat up-to-date but I feel like it’s useless to do this because every game I play I go up against this specific offense everyone is running, and it’s impossible for me to stop no matter how much I upgrade my team.  Might have to wave the white flag for 23

Would practice help? 

I try to get a couple hours a day but that's insane. Could you practice once or twice a week to really understand your players and plays?

scheme is more important than players. try to learn some meta defense and u be fine

Ugh. 

The meta that breaks the AI is the problem dude. No amount of practice is going to help unless you know how to stop the meta or unless your team is so OP that it is good enough to counter it with pure abilities and overpowering the opponent

Practicing against the meta will  help but simply going into practice mode to "understand your players" isn't going to stop these meta plays.

It could be a very simple fix. You could tell us what offense is giving you problems. Describe it. What plays/players are giving you a hard time? Quadfather activated? etc. You could always look it up on Youtube - not my first inclination but it can be a helpful solution.

There are certain players that can easily be countered if you know the right setup for your defense. It's sad that real football strategy doesn't work but this is what you need to do

Practicing allows you to find plays that work for you. 

I spend hours with different playbooks, blocking assignments, and routes seeing what work best. 

How do you think these things become meta?

Yep, I built a god squad and still can’t stop a good player in gun tight. I try so many different zone drops and man up outside guys or inside guys. The second I don’t care and just play- I have more fun and get a good lurk.. I think it’s who can stop who. Bend don’t break and get a good user play inside the 20. I hope you keep trying. I have some good nights when I never lose and some bad like last night it took me 10 games to get 5 wins. I probably quit 5 of those losses in the first half because it was 100% meta and I’d rather not play that game. It’s like Playing a computer at chess. The meta players are all YouTube bots As I call them. Good luck buddy.

He's not looking to find a new unstoppable scheme. He's looking to find his to stop an existing one. Which means he needs to have help from the community/someone who knows how to stop that specific offense

That's not a thing. 

Every top level playbook (offense and defense) has glitch plays and the way to ensure keeping pace is to find new ones. 

You're more than welcome to ask how he's getting beat and give him an answer that will work almost never. 

I'll repeat what I said before. If someone is getting beat regularly they need to go into practice and figure out how they can beat it. With MUT and Huddle the resources are there. 

H2H takes some work. It's not like playing the CPU where you throw out some plays that look good and have them work.

thanks for your response. The play is called PA seems, and to be honest any play in that formation.  I don’t know if it’s just  bad luck but every game I play all I see are these specific plays.

Interesting. Most PA passes are terrible because it seems to trigger instant sacks. Might want to try sending an extra blitzer if your opponent is running PA plays with success. Might not be the best advice, but it works most of the time for me.

I get it, but he has to know what plays are beating him and why. If it is because people are running Gun Tight , there's a specific way to stop that. If he's getting run through by HBs with Freight train then he needs to put secure tackler on his players. That's what I meant

Seam plays are plays where normally a TE runs kind of right up between the inside and the outside pretty much just to the outside of the tackle (hence the term "seam"). They are generally zone breakers. You can try manning up someone on the guys running the seam routes or user a LB/SubLB right underneath the seam route. And like QB323 wrote, on play action plays, usually you can get defensive pressure on the QB....so try sending an extra blitzer and see if that helps, or use a pass rusher like Milk Man with Unstoppable Force
