Why do I suck so bad now

I used to bounce from legend to mvp constantly and would win games by a lot but suddenly it feels like I can’t stop anyone. I’ve gone all the way down to veteran and even then I struggle against people. I had a 3 game stretch yesterday where I allowed 105 points(all were lost within a touchdown) but still i just feel really bad playing now and I’m not even having fun anymore. everyone does corner routes to tall fast receivers or streaks to mvs or carmichael, and if I can stop the pass they rush for 100+ yards.  have a 97 overall team btw and on next gen. Anyone gone through something like this?

Gonna post my lineup when I can

Try switching up play calling and seeing what works. I’ve been in slumps before… don’t give up

Thanks I’ll try that, I haven’t switched things up in a long time so might be that

Yea I think that's a big part of the problem... doing the same thing when it clearly isn't working isn't recommended.

Lineup looks great. You could buff up your defensive line and linebackers a bit. A WR3 and new CB would also be good (Porter and Verrett are fine, but there are better options as seen here).

I don’t ever use linebackers just sub lbs could that be a problem too? Also are you saying tillman Should go? Or porter and verrett

I never use LBs either as well as like 90% of the community dont. They dont animate and safeties stop the run just as good as lbs

Simplify your play calling first and foremost. get back into singleback, I-Form formations. run and pass and throw play action in as well. take your check downs. on defense, switch between coverages. let your abilities do their job.

Linebackers don't animate without Lurker, so I doubt that's a huge problem.

Tillman is fine, as is Porter. Really Verrett should go due to height. 5'10" simply isn't good enough with all of these 6'3"+ pass catchers in MUT.

BTW who is your Sub LB and user?

This is a solid team. It’s really just all about your abilities and then scheme

I used to have peppers and Hendricks but felt like they’re too slow now so I switched to polumalu (with acrobat and mid zone KO) and I used Keanu neal i also have the strat card where it boost all dbs so they have good coverage stats
