Should I sell my team and/or all of my Coins?

Man defense stops RPOs. Also I feel like it’s a reactionary product of the 0.5 seconds you get in the pocket, that’s why I do it at least. Do you run colossus and UF? that could be why people are running RPO against you.

I do have colusses on both my RE and LE, as well as primarily zone. I have noticed that man defense does a better job to a degree. Do you have any good formations, for stopping rpo's other then 3-3 odd, which is my main defense currently?

I typically come out in Default (NOT Base) aligned Dime defense, so i've got four down linemen to hopefully help handle the run aspects of RPO cheese-fest.  Then i specifically Man up my Slot corner on the receiver i'm expecting will get the ball thrown to them, while also putting my outside corner into a Hard Flat.  However, this can and will get you burned over the top if your opponent is anything but one-dimensional... thankfully most are not capable of doing much else, as everyone has so accurately pointed out.  If you're expecting a Stretch run from the RPO, you can blitz your outside corner to hopefully counter that, as well.

If it's not RPO cheese, it's some other form of abusing the horrendous in-game logic, for example, last night i faced an opponent who had the sideline throws absolutely down pat, there was little i could do to counter it -- despite the ball being knocked out each and every single time, the game still counts those as completions, so dude would just march down the field, no amount me shading down and outside seemed to help.  I finally got a couple picks, one in the Red Zone and eventually won (after he rage-quit), but it was tedious, at best.

If you're hoping or praying or expecting that the game will somehow be in an improved state next year, well -- don't hold yer breath, you'll be blue in the face.  Things unfortunately cannot and will not improve until/unless EA allows their exclusive license to expire.  Until then, i fully expect we'll continue seeing more of these lazy, blatant cash-grabs.  Just my two cents, but i'm cautiously optimistic that EA will allow the (May 2026) exclusive rights to expire, similar to how they handled FIFA.

This buggy ass mess needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, but that's not really feasible in a single calendar year.  EA can't even patch the few basic ideas they have to try and make the game new or fresh; thinking pass catching (on both offense and defense, which requires us to run either Gift Wrapped or Pick/LurkArtist and even then, i still see tons of swats and/or dropped balls) and also the fatigue/stamina glitch issues that were never resolved, merely reverted.  And now they're trying to give us William Perry with an ability the literally cancels out these X-factors?  Maybe you could have NOT added these X-factor abilities that remain active the entire game in flippin February and they wouldn't be scrambling to balance things out now, uggh.

Great insights and thank you for taking time to share the advice.  I had not thought about utilizing dime prior to this so I will test that out and see how it goes. 

Regarding Will Perry, I have thought about picking him up but I was wondering if I should till Sugar rush arrives?

Hey bro u also want blockshed on ur corners to help stop the rpos Or else the cpu will get cooked every time. Adderly and Bo Jackson have like 95.. and davante Adams gets off blocks too for some reason. But ye the game is kinda trash rn and I'm taking a couple week break as well

Thank you for the insights, and yah I think I may take a break from Mut champs and just play some casual h2h games for the next few weeks.

Do whatever you want...
