Solo Battle INTs

How the fuck am i supposed to get 30 INTs when the computer (on veteran) throws two maybe 3 passes all game that even have a remote chance of being picked off

I have found that the computer on legend difficulty is easier to intercept/lurk then any lower difficulty tbh.

This is the one i struggle with the most.  However, if you hop into any H2H game, you can almost always count on an opponent throwing multiple picks.  Almost literally every other stat / challenge is best knocked out in these random Solo Battles, however that is not the case with required interceptions.

If all else fails, i tend to place myself into Cover 2 Man, then shade underneath and hope for the best.  If i average 1 pick per game against "Veteran" difficulty CPU opponent, that is pretty good (for me).  I'd love to hear other/better/different suggestions to work through these.  I doubt i'm even halfway through and that's after a full weekend of MUT Champs (10-2 thus far), with one H2H game.  The other attempt (at regular H2H Seasons) i got desynched immediately, so i gave up and went to bed.

It took more Solo Battle games than I would have liked but I got it done in 10. You are correct not enough deep passes and also getting sacks before the QB could get the ball off was a hindrance.

I had a really nice, relaxing week+ break to wrap up S6, after completing both Field Passes, so there really wasn't anything to bother logging in for.  Was trying to convince myself to simply walk away, but i'm back primarily due to the hype surrounding M25 beta.  I missed the first cut, but expecting a beta code for the phase 2 Playtest at the end of the month, i just signed my NDA last week.

i actually had some fun playing online over the weekend, which was somewhat surprising.  Perhaps the most gnarly opponents were busy with Madden 25, or something else entirely.  Who knows, but went 10-2 in MUT Champs.  Also, my "break" from these forums was never my own doing, as you pointed out...

Still trying to help pay it forward and teach newer players the ins and outs of the game, in the same way that so many folks here helped me out with a whole bunch of ridiculous n00bish questions that i had ~1.5 years ago.

Maybe i'll take another break for Elden Ring DLC in a few days, but we'll see.  Much of that stuff leaked over the weekend, has been difficult to avoid spoiling it for myself.  Ahh well.

Way faster to get interceptions in h2h but if you’re going to do it in solo battles it’s not that hard. 

Get up by at least 3 scores as early as possible and then sit back in zone the rest of the game. You will be most likely to get them in the final 2 minutes of the first half and the fourth quarter. When you get the ball either do a one hit td or just punt it right back to them

Keep me posted, i have tons of experience supporting an array of web technologies.  I'm kind of a computer janitor by trade.  If you need a gopher, or some light DevOps or Developer Advocate and support style individual, or just a body to interface with the community regarding general tech or support issues, please drop me a line.  I possess no shortage of strong opinions on a range of topics, including (or especially) when it comes to MUT.

Doubt i'll be getting into College Football, i've already got enough vices with Ultimate Team.  If M25 feels even remotely playable, i'm certain i'll get suckered into yet another cycle of this madness.  We all want this game to be decent in the worst way, but it's nearly impossible to understand any of EA's traditional marketing speak.  BOOM Tech is essentially meaningless to me, we've heard this one before.  If i can tell the difference between M24 and the next generation of FieldSENSE physics whatever, i'll be very surprised.

My DMs are open, as long as i'm here.

You need someone to talk to irl bro bro.
