They release defensive players and they all fucking suck. I got the new CB Johnson and he sucks. He stands there and watches the ball no matter wtf i do. Zone drops, man coverage, I CAN'T DO SHIT on defense and i'm just tired of it. I don't know what else i can do

I really don't. I run a lot of zone but i'll man up individual receivers and just leave it like that. I don't press or mess with shading too much since i don't even know if it works the way it's supposed to

I'd recommend this dude, learned a ton from him, just haven't played enough h2h since grinding for XP, but bet you could vastly improve if you learned the zone / match meta type shit

he also has a youtube where he talks about stuff, but for $10 a month I think it's worth it

Thanks. I'll check it out. At this point, i'm just defeated. These are the zone numbers on my CBs. 95, 91, 94 and they play no different than a player with mid 80s zone.

when you run zone, it's usually better to use match which means your DBs switch from zone to man, I was completely lost on zone/match in general until I learned from him, since I've been out of Madden 5+ yrs before starting again

That’s the thing, I think you just gotta try out players and see what works best for your scheme…just because its A new hot card we think it’s gonna play good for us but that’s not the case in this dumb game.
demarcus ware is 130k and he plays better for me than that sorry ass Ltd von miller card
paul Krause never made plays for me so I got rid of his ass and put Simmons there…and Simmons flies all over the field it seems like he gets 1 pick for me every other game.
when vita vía was hyped and everyone was playing with him, he was shjt for me…I dropped him and got grave digger and grave digger is best player on my defense.
you just gotta find the players that work best for you…

For example….tommorow that new hyped expensive Lamar jackson isn’t going to do anything free 89 fields can’t do. They both gonna have 91 speed too… you gotta be smart and not buy into the new card hype shit

I didn't buy Johnson because he is new, i bought him because i thought a fast high zone CB would be perfect for me since i run a lot of zone. I got him to 95 zone so i thought he would make plays but all he does is get beat and not get to the ball.

^this i focus on one drive at a time and i could honestly say not the most recent card will always be the best card stat wise? sure buts what's important is how many games can you win with this card on the field and if he ain't up to par i go back to the cards that won me a lot of games.
Paul Krause is a great example because i use him as a dime user or on special teams (i rarely come out in dime). even though i want to sell him right about now.
EDIT: i used 2-4 pinch my line and i see the edge rusher chase the quarterback a lot i sometimes adapt to my opponents style of defense to see if he can beat it and adjust accordingly.

And as funny as it may sound, 86 Terrell was the best CB i used in this game so far. He jumped routes that other CBs on my team never even attempted to. I have no clue why that card was so good

yeah just running stock zone is trash, you either need to modify your drops, use match or don't use zone at all IMO, then if you use man it's better to shade, if somebody keeps using drag routes shade that person to the inside and universally shade underneath
running pass coverage stock overall is a recipe to get cooked, but I'd say stock man is much better than stock zone as long as you don't press

yeah, i play squads and my boy got that Jaylon card because he thought it would fit and has has only made one play so i get you!

match is tough if you don't understand each players responsibility so that you know who you have to match with your user. gridirongameplans.gg is good, and he has a series of videos that specifically explains match. unfortunately, better cards doesn't equal better results. Only a few ratings actually matter in mut, height and speed being the 2 most important. I hope you can find some enjoyment in the game soon, I see you every day on here with a frustration post. I'm not saying don't do that, by all means vent and try to figure out how to be better. I just hope things get better for you.
