Most toxic players/plays?

what are the most toxic players/plays you've come up against?

Not so much plays but when a user has to hover over their DT EVERY play so they disengage and get almost instant pressure. Like cmon guy, if you have to do that to be meaningful, try another game.

Speed Option (from Chiefs playbook), especially now with QB Perry paired with HB Henry (or any of the X-factor running backs).  OOF.  I did not have a counter and managed to lose a shoot out Christmas mr0ning that has stuck with me.  Last evening was the most fun i've had in MUT in a ~week, since that fiasco.  I'm still a bit salty about not being able to acquire any Xmas LTD presents, EA kind of screwed the pooch this year and screwed many/most of us.

i hate facing the 4-3 even 6-1 formation tbh...

4-3 even 6-1 and RPOs probably

First ballot all time  scum player. 

Would use every single BS thing you could think of and then dump some more on top.

This is an interesting play from this formation. I'm gonna go lab this cuz I feel like with base align you can stop this..

Toxicity for me isn't just the plays called, it's celebrating whenever possible, onside kicks every rip, etc. Just generally being a dick for no reason. Let's just play this shitty game together and see who wins, ya know? Why go out of your way to be an asshole? That's what's toxic IMO.

Now, most toxic players tend to run the same things: 6-1, DB Fire/Spinner, Double Post/Verts rotation, and RPOs. In my experience, the non-shithead folks run a mix of plays, don't celebrate or wave their arms around constantly or open with onside kicks... they mix up their play calling, are more sportsman-like, and just let their game speak for itself. I yearn for more games against people like that.

One would think, please let me know what you figure out -- i was probably just being terrible, but the fact he could run either left or right (and could motion a receiver to have an extra blocker out in front on weakside) made it difficult for me to adjust.

Even if i would USER the correct side and guess by getting way out in front of it, it was hard for me to bring down Derrick Henry without some extra help, he just bounces off everything/everyone.  However, i have complete faith that you are MUCH better at the game than i am.

Just running this play over and over again in practice mode against the CPU, really anything where all 3 WR's have a guy up in their face stops it. So like a nickel 2 man under or something like that. Running to the right side produced some SKETCHY fumbles when I tried that, but same with the left side. Basically as long as you force the pitch immediately you should be able to like user a safety and just come down and focus the RB.

QB keeps, then somehow manages to pull off the most ridiculous jump-pitch, which was getting crazy separation. How do you tackle Henry with Angry Runs with a single defender? I just couldn't do it. Two WRs block, or perhaps one (if motioned to weak side), but not knowing which direction the play would go, basically meant I was giving up 4-6 yards each and every single play. Dude only needed to make 50% of his stuff work and was practically guaranteed a first down, if not more.

I was base aligned, blitzing outside corners, I tried basic Tampa 2 with 0-5 yard Flats, oof. Thanks for the advice, will definitely try to put that to good use. Hopefully I don't face any Speed Option this evening.

Doesn't feel liek there's much to play for right now, done with Zero Chill, Comp Pass... guess I'm only level 58 or 59, should finish regular Field Pass. I think today is 50/50 login bonus, but maybe I missed a day somewhere. Appreciate you detailing your experience with this, much obliged kind sir. You da man. 🏆

Guys that run the ball like they're a military school. I think it's fine running maybe 10 times in an entire game, but 35 is a bit excessive, especially when you're farthest throws are flats to your HB. Played a guy like that and he was so annoying, running RPO's half the time too. The Spinner/DB Fire is completely fine as you're not glitching or cheesing the game's bad mechanics. I think defensively its hard to really be toxic other than playing cheesy with 2 man under or something where it takes no skill and isn't hard to beat, but is just frustrating as man is basically just hoping you get lucky and man-beating routes randomly don't create separation and they get a pick off of something that's a wide open guy 90% of the time.

Agreed 100%. Or when someone celebrates when they clearly got saved by EA or got a horrible animation or you see their microphone moving in the top right corner. Just shut up and play lol i usually play with the volume on my speakers off but you always see the microphone moving on the other end, especially after a big play or something.
