if I have to set up an entire defense to stop 1 play, that play is broken.
a good player already knows the counter to an RPO and just has to attack to side of the field the manned up slot or the outside blitzing corner.
lol that’s why I only use RPOs sparingly . Nobody gets on the mic and complains when you just use it a couple times a game at the perfect time.
I don’t do them out of the popular wing slots either so they never see it coming.

adjusting 1 slot corner ≠ setting up a whole defense

manning up the slot just stops the WR bubble screen half the time. you still have to account for 1 less defender during the hand off and the empty area of the field if they run anything else.
elmango30 said:and I just don’t think the game should play itself for people who don’t want to adjust their players. Of course you have to adjust them! NFL defense rarely looks like how madden defensive playart does, and I know you know more about football than I do
Agreed. But this is a game and moreover, its one where making defensive adjustments in the time given between plays makes for a button-mashing frenzy. Users should be disincentivized from spamming on both sides of the ball. Adding some kind of 'film study' mechanic would still mean they have to make adjustments, they'd just know what to adjust to. It would then be the real-life equivalent of knowing what was coming. In the game, the players learn nothing. Spammers generally don't run 1 single play over and over, they run an option play with several choices. Users cannot 'adjust' to all outcomes, so manning up the inside DB doesn't stop the stretch run, it stops the Screen pass, for example.

All be it annoying playing guys the run the same plays over and over , I agree with Elmango30 , Everything can be countered . Personally I struggle more with guys that run many plays than I do the spammers .
