There is no consistent way to defend RPOs, idc what anybody says. They are the cheesiest thing in the game and the defense just stands there and watches everything happen instead of going after the ball carrier. You snap the ball and throw it asap, it's not a skilled play and it's pretty much predetermined. If i man up the WR catching the RPO pass, why the fuck are my defenders 10 yards away or they get blocked out of the play? Can't press because Hollins is burning every single guy on my team. Give it a fucking rest with this RPO garbage

Good luck man, complaining to no one ain't gonna help you get better and defend it. I never have issues cuz I don't play online anymore, because it's not fun anymore. I feel your pain tho

Which RPO are they spamming? Different ways to defend the various ones.

Every single game as soon as I see singleback or Iform I know the RPO’s have begun. Nothing much I can really do, manning up, usering the CB on that side, pressing. I feel like every game is just the same 5 plays.

What keeps happening is my defender gets sucked into a blocking animation and it turns into a big gain

That’s what makes them so great.

RPO’s are ran in the NFL and can be effective, it’s just the constant spam of it and how defenders essentially dumb out every time that makes it unguardable.

That's my biggest issue with it. The defense just stands there and reacts too late

I thought this was the point as to why they're in the game.
EA adds in OP plays/formations so the bottom level skill players are able to punch up every so often annoying both sides into spending more money.

There have been so many times ive been frustrated knowing whats coming and trying to stop it only to have the cpu and this lazy game mess it up. The few times its actually worked have been glorious. (Ive had a few pick sixes both user and otherwise) off those that usually result in instant ragequits lol even if theyre winning or its tied. Theyre THAT irate that the jig is up and that theyd have to actually TRY SOMETHING else theyd rather just quit. Lol
Id say what others have suggested plus shading outside or underneath helps, and its very important your user is flawless, even when it is, the cpu will mess it up half the time lol

For bubble rpos where an inside reciever goes to the outside to catch and run, man up the slot db on that bubble receiver and hard flat your outside db. This usually stops those types of rpos for little to no gain of they throw it despite seeing it is covered.
Putting hook curls at 0 and ensuring your slot db is on a hook curl is also another way I've seen people stop it.
