What offensive formations do you hate playing against?

Man sucks, agreed, but I man up the bubble for the same results. I'm always wary of overcommitting by going for the pick.

Man is tough for me to go against when its pressed Cover 2 Man. I'll have a zig, a texas, a hot routed TE post and comeback. All with the defenders running the routes, the user sitting on the RB texas and the comeback takes too long, by the time that gets open the defense is hitting the QB.

So if u can stop all RPOs easily why would u hate playing against them

Lol not even wasting my time. You guys really need to wake up

So either you lied and you can't stop RPOs, or you just dislike playing against something that you can stop easily. If u want help, name an rpo and i could tell u how to stop it

They all suck, that's the point lol. If a guy is running it all game, of course you adjust but one wrong move by the shit ai defense and it's a big gain

I actually like RPOS for skill gap, u have to know what ur doing to stop them

On top of that, if you know what you are doing u can easily stop them.

What's an example of an rpo u cant stop?

There are zero RPOs that I can't stop... assuming I recognize the formation contains one.  

I just love the guys who take you on the Spread PB tour and cycle through a bunch of different ones.  Or guys who audible to a formation containing an RPO from one that does not.  An example I've faced recently is a guy who came out in Gun Split Slot (which does not have an RPO) and then audibled to the very similar Gun Slot Offset... which has these two plays:

When the halfback comes across the field like that you cross man him... and it's a snap throw.  You could user it... but the formation also has several good fake motion plays where the middle of the field can be hit for decent gains.  The only way to stop these plays is to have hard flats from the outside CBs in Nickel or the outside or slot CBs in Dollar or Dime... and even then the blocking sometimes breaks it open.  Pass committing solves for that... then it can be a pick 6.

Find a way to stop Gun Bunch offset double post or stop crying about it. You will see this just about every game you play. Thats what the bums in the community do spam the same plays. It is what it is. Aint no different that gun tight offset from mut 23

The thread is asking what people don't like playing against. Answering == crying?

That's what kills me. People say learn how to stop it and I'm like I know how to stop it. Its just annoying to do the same thing over and over.  Also annoying is the a.i. doesn't even adjust to the same play being called so eventually they'll covert 4th and 30th . People should understand that because you can do something doesn't mean you should.  I put the blame on myself though because I play this game with morals meanwhile my opponents are demons who onside kick every chance, go for it on 4th every chance, call the same play on offense and defense all game.

Heavy on the onside Kicks no matter what. While I’m making sure to punt in a typical situation and not celebrate too hard if my opponent plays with some kind of honor lol. Dinosaur in this game I know.

Man man man I actually hate this play more then I hate mike scrape 3 from mut 16

Just played a guy. Decided to keep count. 27 times. got three picks but I had to man this guy, zone this guy, flat this guy. I took a L either way. One play shouldn’t take all of that. especially if that’s all they are running.

SportsPerson94 said:

Yea this play sucks. I usually man up one of my sub lbers on the tight end i think it is and i user the inside guy. That play is definitely one of the worst tho but RPOs are still the worst for me

Dang, because of how much everyone is hating on this play now I am motivated to learn how to run it lol

Cross man it when it goes in motion, use run 3-3/3-3 cub and put both OLB in 0 yard hard flats and spread backers every time they come out in that formation. If you're confident in your gap shooting you can pinch dline and shoot. Dubby played against this in one of his youtube videos and did a great job showing how to stop it.
