peatrick said:Thanks, I initially started NTL with both (Inside & Outside Shade, for 3AP... mostly because it didn't cost 10k Training). Prior to getting NTL yesterday i had Cromartie and his 1AP Inside Shade as my primary Slot corner, i really thought it was about time to switch back to Man. I've been trying a little of everything, Dollar, Nickel & Dime as well as 4-3 Even 6-1 for a brief period. There's a handful of what appear to be fairly standard (often playaction) throws to the sidelines that seem to get REALLY open (meaning 2-3 full steps ahead of my 99 Speed DBs) out of various sets/playbooks. I should start keeping a list and try to track what i'm running up against most. Going on 4+ months of MUT now and it's still a bit overwhelming trying to make adjustments on the fly, let alone understand and process what I'm up against. Need to invest more time in practice mode getting the muscle memory down, but even understanding what i need to do (as far as adjustments) on a conceptual level has remained a bit of an uphill climb. Appreciate any insight or experience you may be able to bless me with.
I'm certain that i remain a large part of the problem, lack of experience as a first-time MUT player, not effectively adjusting to my opponent, etc. Typically folks start with whatever couple/few standard plays and make Hot Route adjustments on the fly. I'd been using almost exclusively Deep Route/Zone KO abilities (as well as PA + Acrobat, where ever feasible), however i may need to adjust to Mid Route/Zone KOs, or free up some AP to try fit both. I guess having so many decent high-end DBs is a good problem to have, although unsure if it matters all that much.
In thinking the standard abilities for a man scheme would be Deep Route KO on both outside corners, Inside Shade and Short Route KO on your slot corner, OSA when possible. I would probably run, thinking about it and not actually trying it, Short, Deep Route KO and PA on both outside corners for 2 AP each. Then Inside Shade, Acro, and PA on my slot for 2. And then run DOZKO on my two deep safeties for 1 each if I’m playing Cover 2 Man.
