okay let's talk about offense and defense.

I've seen civil's videos, twitter discussions, and many more rants on this topic. but most people want to solve defense by allowing zones to play better.

The question is how?

ZONE (for me at least has been pretty good, don't have the best team 84 OVR  TT with millions of coins.) has been an issue to some but tbh people want it to be psychic and not even look at the quarterback and break when the ball is thrown. the abilities don't even help it either.  and the animations are built for every viable defender to knock the ball out even though it's not worth sending 3 ap to each corner or safety to apply it towards.

Nerfing the edges wasn’t even helpful at all either, neutralizing all edge and interior  threat abilities, and outside edge run stuffing abilities with just subpar 80 OVR lineman was practically the dumbest thing they could have possibly done. If you're gonna nuke coverage you have to have some sort of counteract to better get to the quarterback or running back running inside zone.  Out of trips set or any bunch shotgun sets.

Finally the player decisions, i complain about this last year and their reviving this crap again, 6”6 pitts 6”4 metcalf 6”4 megatron 6”5 brian finneran i mean there’s a reason OOP is always gonna be around and yes there are some people who hate OOP but when the tallest DB in league history  is 6”4  and they drop a guy like carmichael who’s 6”10 and fast there’s no-one close to any of these height’s in league history outside the guy who was listed on the opposite end of him. EA has a catalog of NFL HALL OF FAMERS, and refuses to get more interesting and lesser known names who are not skywalkers into the game.

what are your guys takes on offense and defense?

Offense, especially running appears to be OP.  When i can pinch my entire defense, have four down-linemen AND guess run (via run-commit) and still give up 6+ yards per play, we may need to review basic gameplay tuning.

Defense is basically non-existent.  I'm not aware of any ways to stop a competent opponent, especially not when you can simply heave the ball up and let your speedy receivers run under it.  Knockouts (thinking `23) weren't exactly the answer, those abilities were kind of obnoxious, but this is NOT the happy medium many of us were hoping for.

Valid points. My issue with defense is swat animations that should bei interceptions and dropped interceptions the last game I played my players dropped 3 interceptions and swatted 3 that should have been picked and nothing makes me more angry when you have to account for some many money routes and RPO’s . 
 

we need gift wrapped on defense or something

Man, that's a bold question. *Knee slap*

I feel like defense is low key playing pretty well, as the better opponents are difficult to move the ball against. There are some opponents who make me look like an offensive genius who can't be stopped, but those are the punching bags out there. I sometimes get my butt kicked on defense but usually I do alright, no complaints. But I'm not a high level player by any means, so I can only speak from where I'm at, which is generally around all star or MVP in h2h.
