For me... I hate getting beat by RPOs. I have a solid defense against most of them that usually gets me a pick 6 - IF I'm facing a formation that I know has one. I've pretty much memorized the most common ones... but every once in a while someone springs something new on me.
RPOs are another "feature" that's been added to the game to make new / unskilled players feel like they can compete.
So what do you hate facing?
I almost made this same thread earlier!
For me it’s Bunch Offset. I hate it, I can’t stop it consistently and most people who run it don’t use anything else. So all that adds up to a hell game and I usually quit on the first drive. It’s getting so common though…
Erryone that youtuber pushes . i dint mind having a hard time but the only thing that separates me from shutt em down is i can only user one pla yer at a time lol
y’all heard if i was two you’d be worthless
RPOs are the death of me. I can stop everything else but RPOs really mess me up. The defense doesn't react in time and there is no consistent way to stop them. Worst thing they ever put in MUT. I rather play against bunch all day than a RPO player
You guys talking about bubbles mostly or RPOs in general? Man shuts the bubble down decently, no?

I personally never run man defense because it's way to easy to beat.
I'm talking specifically about RPOs with passes to the slot WR.... but there are others with throws to the wideout... and still others like RPO Read Flat Wheel from Pistol Open Close Flex. Any time I get hit with something new I go straight into practice mode to lab up a defense.
The RPO bubbles to the slot WR are my favorite because if I know it's in their offensive formation... it's gonna be a pick 6 when they throw it.
Man sucks, agreed, but I man up the bubble for the same results. I'm always wary of overcommitting by going for the pick.

I posted this a while back... it works like a charm on the old gen version of the game. I'm not sure if it works on the current gen version but you might want to try it out and see for yourself.
There is nothing more satisfying than facing one of these RPO bubbles on your goal line... and your opponent thinks they're gonna just toss it for an easy score... only to see your slot corner return the interception for a 99 yard TD. Many a rage quit happens before you can even reach the endzone.
The one where they call double post 37x in a row.

Bunch Offset!

O, so that's what it's called. Yea, every game is fat bastard Perry running to the right and hitting Moss or Hill on a possession catch. At the end of one game, I was checking Stats and dude had 37 pass attempts, and it was the bunch offset play 37x in a row.

It's this play.
My experience is similar to yours - they run it over and over... and over. Not sure if I just need to git gud but I struggle against it bad.

I severely dislike that nearly every H2H game is against the same handful of formations/plays .
I miss that period of time where Madden wasn't so copy cat.

Yea this play sucks. I usually man up one of my sub lbers on the tight end i think it is and i user the inside guy. That play is definitely one of the worst tho but RPOs are still the worst for me

That's ridiculous and that's why there needs to be some kind of cap on calling certain plays in a row. At that point you're not playing football, you're just cheesing the ai, it's not fun at all.
And before someone says "oh but NFL teams run the same play over and over" yea they do but not more than a handful and def not 37 times in a row. Defenses eventually see it coming and adjust, maybe EA should try that?
And to the guy who says "well you just have to learn to stop it" nah, fuck that. I know how to stop it but it ruins the game and we are trying to play football, not who can manipulate the ai better.
