I try to mix it up to keep my opponent on his toes.

55/45 split, leaning towards man.

I’ve been 99% zone for all of MUT23. I just started working on a Man scheme this week. Hoping to be somewhere around 80/20 Man/Zone. I guess for me it depends on my opponents play calling as well.

I started in man but now do mostly zone.

I do my best to make my opponent pick the offense I want them to run.

Same. I've never really been comfortable in man in any MUTs

That is key no matter what you run. Keep ‘em guessing and get them to play your game 👍

I was same, started with man (which I’ve always run) and have been about 70% zone since before Thanksgiving.

I only started H2H a little over a month ago and I had no idea how to user. In man you have a line pointing you to the guy you're responsible for so I called man 100% of the time. As I started to understand usering I started switching my defensive plays to include more zone.

I used to play man coverage almost exclusively until I started to get burnt BAD in man coverage. I decided to do some research and paid for a sub to gameplans from a service (DM for which one), which gave me some excellent info on zone coverage.

Now that I'm understanding (well, only beginning to) how to use zone coverage effectively, I've been running zone coverage 70% of the time and man coverage really only for blitz plays that zone coverage formations just don't get. It's been going well! Definitely doing better than my man coverage-only scheme before, though I did have to switch out some players and shift a couple things around ability-wise.

I recommend if you want to stray away from man coverage which is IMO easier to play without doing much research etc, get an e-book or subscription that will teach you how to play zone coverage right. For me, I GOT OWNED in zone coverage until I had the right abilities and subbed the right players into certain formations, in most cases.

Don't get me wrong, zone definitely works against the right plays on it's own, but with some tweaking and some thought to abilities/player location you can absolutely dominate in zone. It can be more complex than just running man with good man abilities however, IMO.
