What's the point?

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.

Thanks dude. I'll definitely check those videos out. And yea, it's frustrating but it's still pretty much the only game i play lol. In a weird way, i do enjoy it but hate it at the same time if that makes any sense

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

I mess with the zone drops but idk if they even work lol. I'm gonna look into match coverage more and see where it takes me. I tried it once but i didn't give it a chance.

I was in your shoes like a month ago then I took the plunge to completely understand zones and what's what, each drop only works for specific zones and the drops will get reset if you audible or do the sticks coverage thing, it's pretty in depth and the conclusion I came to is match is the best coverage to run once you understand it then sometimes you need drops to cover certain routes IE corner routes on short side

Thanks for the tips.

Ya my buddy that i play squads with is the same way. He non stops hates on the game, but its all he plays and he still enjoys it somewhat. If you don't want to pay the 9.99 a month subscription a lot of his stuff comes out on his zan madden youtube channel after a couple of weeks. I also like madden money shot on youtube, he plays regs but all of his concepts transfer over fairly well because it's about beating the game more than real life football concepts.

bro madden moneyshot is hilarious, his channel is like a meme boomer shit to me but still has over 100K LMAO, I bought his eagles gameplan since that's the playbook I use on offense

I wouldn't recommend his ebooks since they are mostly pdfs, even though there are some links throughout. I just do not like that they are so vast, I used his ravens ebook last year and it had like half the plays from 80% of the formations. Civ.gg uses eagles pb, and I hear his stuff is really good. This year I am trying gridirongameplans from zanmadden but I've been working so much I can barely play. So that's been kind of a waste. 

but ya his videos are super informative while still being really entertaining, I love all the sound effects he puts on the replays, the bobby bouche noise when he gets a sack gets me every time

yeah I realized it's more important to really understand defense so just learn from Zan now, once you really understand defense you will know what offense to run against your opponent
