What do you consider the worst type of opponent to play against?

For me... it's either:

A) guys who flip every play (sometimes multiple times per play) because they've seen the "MCS Pros" doing it so they figured it must be a good thing to do.... or 

B) sore losers who as soon as they realize they're outmatched, decide to make you waste your time by taking all their pauses and timeouts and grief offsides... etc.

As for "A"...  I sometimes flip my play... if I decide I want to take advantage of the short or wide side of the field.  But I think most players who do this a lot are looking to take advantage of bad coding in the game.  For example... if you're in Big Nickel... and you flip your defense because the offense has flippd their play... your deep Safeties sometimes do this weird criss-cross of assignments.  I'm sure other things get messed up as well.

As for "B"... these D-bags are reserved a spot on the inner circle of hell (only guys worse are the freeze glitchers).

What bothers you most about your worst opponents?

Honestly, i think the most irritating stuff i regularly face is what I've fondly come to term One-Play Pussies -- which is a minor variation (i think) of option A.  Typically this is often paired with the No Huddle / hurry-up spam, may or may not involve actually flipping the play.  Person is just hoping to get lucky in one out of every 4 downs.  Football should (IMO) be a type of chess match, but all the ADHD-addled children cannot seem to sit still for even thirty seconds at a time, let alone try to think about what is going on before it happens.

My favorite aspect of this is watching an opponent furiously click between players, such as on defense during PATs, or even during kickoffs, they're just literally spamming the Circle (on PS, or "B" on Xbox, i think?) button over and over and over to change players.  Although the people taking the full playclock to adjust and/or call a play is also maddening, in a different way.

This is partially a joke, but also a semi-serious answer.  My worst opponent is me.

I make way too many mistakes and bad decisions to blame anyone else for my misfortune at H2H play.

If you call a play and flip it as soon as the screen cuts from Waiting for Defense..., we all know why you're flipping the play. No one is processing reading a defense in a tenth of a second. It quite obviously breaks certain defensive assignments, and is deliberately done to gain an advantage that has nothing to do with real football. I'm indifferent to it until they do it every play, and even then, there are more effective ways of actually gaining yards on a play-in, play-out basis.

I could care less about griefers. The game eventually ends with a win, and though it is super annoying, most of the players that try that stuff aren't good enough at everything they have to do to really extend the game much beyond what it would normally take.

I'm going to get this off my chest, however: I had an opponent pull off massive chunk yardage on almost every play using the most predictable sequences I've ever seen, but my defenders refused to make picks, or in some cases, avoid the most pathetic pancakes. When they still followed up such offensive sequences with defensive line shift-glitching, I finally sold out to stretching out the game as long as I could, and I announced to my opponent that that was my intention. We were in the middle of the second quarter, and I managed to stretch a minute of game clock about ten minutes real-time. The guy finally quit.

It was the dirtiest feeling, and it actually stuck with me through the week, because it's really not who I am. I've always played to win, but I always would do so honorably, and while I blame EA and my opponent for the situation, I can't blame anyone but myself for reacting that way.

But MUT 24 has, at times, been an absolute NPE.

People that block field goals from both sides. It’s annoying

toters and clock suckers

Just anyone that is calling the same exact play all game long. Offense or defense. That shit is annoying because it shows I’m clearly a superior football mind but the programming of the game allows for play spamming to work sometimes. I can call 10 different plays a drive and have the same result as a spammer. Again, only at times. Most of the time o can stop it eventually

Game hasn’t even started and you’re already complaining

Are you dumb...?  or just antisocial?

I'm playing M24 until the drop of M25 later today.

Thanks for the post though.
