OVR: 98

MUT COINS AVAILABLE: 8M cash, additional 20M in various players, etc.

Primary difficulty: I haven’t quite found the sweet-spot when trying to optimize my players‘ X-Factor & Superstar Passive Abilities in such a way that my Players abilities are always working in conjunction with one another to “cover all my bases” per sè.

Other things I’m struggling with: • Haven’t quite found *THE* Playbook for my scheme & playstyle. On both Offense + Defense. I’ve grown mostly comfortable with using Kansas City’s Defensive Playbook. And I’ve routinely alternated between the New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, and Alternate Spread Offense Playbooks.
• Often times I get completely dismantled and aired out on Defense. This lead me down the rabbit hole of Madden YouTube, which really only frustrated me further as 95% require 82648492x Pre-Snap Adjustments. Would prefer something simpler and more on the minimal side.
• I throw an absolute TON of interceptions. I use FreeForm, I have become half-decent at it. Still, I’m struggling to pair mechanics + solid playcalling.

Attached above is the link to my MUT.gg Lineup (correct as of 6/29/2023). Please, any and all sorts of constructive criticism, feedback and advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and efforts!

1. Your Team is very good but a lot of the 99's you have could be replaced with better 99's for example on what I think you could upgrade

Kelce ---> Mawae for 1 ap Vanguard

RG3 ---> A non-GT QB because they get better and more Abilities

The Entire Linebacker Group could be replaced with some other tall users

I also run the Chiefs Defense with the Jets Offense and align your abilities to the type of defense you play with the most or just run uc on everyone

If you are throwing picks because of QB throw power, try bazooka charged up

Thanks so much for your feedback! So the LB core is a little wonky as I was experimenting between the Gronk RR Chem that essentially maxes out any LOLB, so I was testing out the OOP guys like Josh Allen, Carmichael, etc. But I do need to upgrade it, however I’m loving the 50/50 Eagles chem boosts at the moment so I am restricted in what I can do. The Kevin Mawae suggestion was lost on me until now, so thanks again for that. That will definitely keep Beast Mode running for me.

I'd recommend getting rid of Musgrave for a TE with passive vanguard. Having even one vanguard can really boost your run game. Multiple will make it even better.

Also you can do the AAPI heritage month for a 99 ovr kicker with all 32 team chems.

Yes. Just need to check archive passes to see what you're missing

Hey man, off rip before you even worry about your team I would commit to one scheme on offense since you can't really have a balanced team build to beat the current META. You either need to lean fully into beating man press by using META WRs or beat it by using Vanguards on every position and finding a playbook that has a good ground game like Steelers, Ravens, or Pistol. Either way, if you're willing to part with the $15 needed to subscribe to Civil.GG then that would be great for what you're looking for in a scheme. They are all very simple and do not require the best of teams or a million pre-snap adjustments or reads to get better at Madden. Civil uses his schemes on his YT Chennel, Civil Premium and he has "budget" cards at almost every position, and he's rarely beaten. For offense, I'll have separate paragraphs for what changes I would make depending on how you want to attack the META.

First, if you want to beat the META by using a passing attack you MUST use one of these three passive (Always on) X-Factors on your Receivers, Double Me, Rac Em' Up, or Max Security. Cards that get these as passive abilities are: Ceedee Lamb (You Have), Puka Nacua (Free), Herman Moore (100ish K Rental), Anquan Bolden (1+ Million but gets Vanguard as well) and Evan Engram (Cheap, but 97 Speed gets honorary lineman and is a TE).

Secondly, if you feel like running the ball since it's late in the games cycle and it's tough to beat press man you can go the vanguard route. To go this route, it is more expensive, but I find the cards more enjoyable to use. On the O-Line from left to right you should use Joe Thomas (Free and gets Nasty Streak), Will Clapp (1 AP Vanguard), Kevin Mawae (1 AP Vanguard), Jason Kelce (3 AP Vanguard), and Lincoln Kennedy (Gets every ability). At TE I would use Alge Crumpler (1 AP vanguard with all 99s basically) and John Mackey (0 AP Vanguard but 98 speed and sub 80s in every run blocking stat). At FB I would use Ben Skowronek (Free Vanguard but expensive) or Trent Williams (1 AP Vanguard but is FAT and does not fit through running lanes well). At WR I would use Victor Cruz (1 AP Vanguard and route tech with evasive) Montez Sweat (0 AP Vanguard but need to pick between Route Tech or Evasive as well) or Anquan Bolden (Expensive but beats press man as well as getting 0 AP Vanguard).

Those are my suggestions for offense, and I will gladly leave them for defense if you want me to, but I feel offense is infinitely more important than Defense right now. Hope this helps!
