Tips for Stopping GoalLine?

Played against a guy who ran goal line every plan for the whole game. Just couldn’t stop it.  Not to mention he had gus, Dickerson, and Derrick henry so every play his rb had the glowing X factor. Feel like it’s unstoppable to an extent but wondering if there are any good formations that stop this?

i would say fight fire with fire.... run a goal line defense to put a stop to it.

I’m having the same exact issue, my team is stacked with run stoppers but people stay in hulk in goalline and spam runs with x factor runningbacks that are hard to stop as it is but with great blocks I‘m legit useless

Stopping the run game seems to be the real key to winning lately, eh?  I've encountered very few high fliers with legit passing attacks, it's mostly just kids constantly rolling the dice hoping to catch a lucky break with a deep bomb -- and they do, liek 1 out of 10 hail mary plays seem to land.  There's a TON of folks who spam the same few run plays over and over.  I've had some mixed success, but the way i'm approaching this lately is by doing the following;

1. Inside Stuff on both DTs (x2)
2. No Outsiders on both outside D-linemen, as well as on both outside linebackers, (x4)
3. 4-3 Even 6-1, usually Sam Will Blitz with the following adjustments: blitz all linebackers -- tap Right on the d-pad, then flip Down on right stick, have the D-line also crash inside by tapping Left on d-pad and flip Down on right stick

HOWEVER, above process is primary designed for runs up the gut.  If you anticipate the opponent is going to run to the outside, there's a strong possibility that your defenders will get sealed off via HB Stretch plays or what not.  Be advised, you will get burned for 1 play touchdowns or big gains.

For outside runs, Dollar Spinner is effective, but i often revert to this: DB Blitz 0 out of Dime formation.  Make sure you USER the MLB and rush to the sideline (or drop back in pass defense).  YMMV, good luck!

Come out in Dollar, pinch your DL....?

Best run defense in the game.

Haha.

Thanks bro. I have inside stuffs on both DTs and even the run stopper X factor on randle. And my linebackers and defensive ends have no outsiders. i stack the box sometimes running 3-3 cub to no avail unfortunately. I’ll try some of the formations you listed tho. hopefully I will stop the goal line runners!

Literally. When I load into a game and see the formation as hulk or goalline I just wanna quit at that point cuz it’s just a video game I’m tryna have fun😭 after all it’s a dead game it’s June it’s not that serious no need to run those glitchy formations😂

Yeah, abilities only work when RNG wants it too. You will find a alot of times when your OPP gets a quick shed run stop, if you run it again, the game wont give them two quick sheds in a row....

My X-Factor Jack Rabbit with Universal Coverage lit up did not KO a ball yesterday. Of course, Madden just had to make the game close so no KO for me.

Honestly if you were in the right personnel it was just a game where Madden is saying press start and concede defeat to the computer...

I have had this happen to me with all the right set-ups. Could not stop it. Just one of those game you get royally bent over....Youre wasting your time if its that bad.

at this point i LOVE facing these dweebs, cuz i know they're one-dimensional and i can just adjust my Even 6-1 to "Base" formation and shut that shit down with seven guys stacked in the middle, opposite their what, 2-3 linemen?  It used to frustrate me beyond belief, to the point where i would just have to try and take my time on offense, so they didn't get the ball back.

Crazy kids still come out in Monster in May.  That worked against me as a first time MUT player back in December, but not for long.
