How do you beat this new Bottleneck meta?

I have CeeDee and I still can't beat a single coverage Revis/Ward with bottleneck. Even outruns my streak. Plus I have zero time to throw any developing routes against the Nickel 3-3 blitz they usually send out of it. Any tips would be appreciated.

What abilities do you have on your receivers?  I think there's only liek three (3) total WR in the entire game that can insta-beat the current Man Press meta, which are as followings (in order from best to worst):

1. CeeDee Lamb
2. Herman Moore
3. Evan Engram

Basically, you need a specific baked on passive X-factor as an ability, otherwise Aidan Hutchinson will basically cancel out any of the Charge Up variety, making them all irrelevant.  Any of the following should give you a chance to win against the Bottleneck madness.

• Double Me
• Max Possession
• RAC `Em Up

Also try to find routes that start back off the line of scrimmage and perhaps even streak in unique ways to try to avoid the press attempts, but the abilities above will give you a fighting chance.  Hope that helps, super frustrating stuff to play against.  If all else fails, try to rely on your TE and HB, they typically cannot be pressed.

Tell us you don't understand how Madden works without actually telling us. 

It'd be almost hilarious if it weren't so sad and pathetic.

you were wrong tho strikeshot. Go into practice mode and test it out if you want

This thread has been super informative.  Someone posted great information on how to deal with a bottleneck heavy defense.  And someone else is giving a master class on what not to do after you’ve used an awful tone to someone only to be proven wrong.

You missed your chance to have any sort of civil conversation like this by name-calling and throwing a tantrum.

??? i called you out for being rude to someone and being wrong about it. You can explain why you wanted to be wrong, or wanted to be rude, because I know I didn’t say anything that bad
