Hey everyone, I have enjoyed playing MUT Squads for four years. I am a father, and I am 33 years old. My regular teammates have moved on to other games, so I am looking for a group of guys to run with (older dads who can be normal dudes). I enjoy playing defense coordinator but have no problem being head coach. I do not like to run the same play over and over. I am on PS5, username of FxxTrot
Wait, do I need to be a dad? If so, you gotta give me a little more time!!

Hello there and welcome. What days / hours (or time zone) do you typically play? I've had a downright miserable time this year playing any online H2H stuff, mostly checked out and keeping pace via Solo Battles, at least the random weeks when the game mode appears for me and scores actually track properly. Sadly, that's about a coin flip, only appears ~half the weeks, thus far during M25 cycle. What a sad, buggy ass mess of a game this release cycle has been.
I've only casually tinkered with squads, tried to match up with someone last year, but he was kind of drunk the majority of the time we were playing, although i think we finished the brief run 3-1. I'm wired very much in a similar manner to you, in the sense that i prefer playing Defensive Coordinator, but that's been brutal this year. I've been mostly living in the Raiders defensive playbook since M24 and see no real reason to change this year, but at times i waffle back and forth between my beloved 49ers defense, which has more 4-3 formations available, since Even 6-1 feels nerfed this year.
I am also on PS5, will try to send you a friend request. I play mostly evenings during the week, sometimes on weekends, as well, but prefer to give my son full access to the PS5 when he's not busy at school. I have a Digital Edition PS5 console in our bedroom, but the slight additional latency (from wireless) is problematic and I need eventually get a bigger television, but wifey isn't a fan of that idea. Many nights i'm so tired after work and sick of wearing my headphones (i wr0k remotely), so I put on our beloved football to chill out and have the television essentially muted, so it doesn't bother my wife. I guess my point is that i'm a serious introvert, will try to make an exception for some fun Squads play.
Here's my roster, for comparison -- but i have no problems investing in "fun" whatever that may be if we eventually get in a groove: https://www.mut.gg/25/lineup-builder/f9df6f34-9691-4c9b-8c16-5bd199573b6d/
I'm significantly older (I'll be 47 this fall), but just recently got back into Madden after a significant period away. My first time ever creating an Ultimate Team squad was around Christmas during M23 cycle. I played 1000+ hours of M24, I would say i'm competent, at best, perhaps slightly above average, but not great and definitely not a Comp level player.
I'm in for this party. I'm NMS and don't have the best stuff, but I do my best to not be a dumbass or be gimmicky, while at the same time keeping things relatively simple. I do try to learn concepts and theory and apply it to the game, so I fall under the category of a sim player or whatever.
What's wrong with being drunk 😂 I'm drunk 99% of the time I'm playing. Similar to yous pretty recent middle aged dad, I'm Xbox though, usually play QB but I'm pretty naff. All about having a few beers, few games and a bit of a laugh though. That's where I find fun in it
I’m in as well. I sent you a DM. It’s the only game mode in mut I’ve never played much. Been playing mut for years though. I’m 37 but not a dad and that’s perfect for me.
Im active. I prefer to play at night and still do love staying up late gaming. I’m eastern time zone on ps5. I also like defense, I like to think I’m pretty good at it. I suck at offense. you do not want me running the offense. I’ll do head coach too.
Ive got a god squad. I also have a run heavy lineup and a Viking/Raider theme team I’m working on. I’m fine with switching that up or picking up any cards I need to fit the squad theme.
Defensively I just started running the bears playbook. I use big nickel, dollar mug, some nickel over, some 6-1, some 46 and of course the double mug like everyone else though it’s not as good since the patch. Which is a good thing.
I’ve got my binder synced so heres My depth chart

Absolutely nothing wrong with being drunk, it only becomes a problem during late-night gaming sessions when dude would disappear AFK for extended periods.
And I'm almost certainly being a bit of a drama queen, it was overall a positive experience. I am constantly gnawing on nicotine losenges in between puffs from my chillum of the best California medicinal herb readily available. We all have our preferred poisons, different strokes for different folks.
I'm just a different sort of sloppy. 🍻🌴 😎

+1 for binder sync, I need to start relying on that. My roster changes so much during the week, I synced it on Friday, but surely it's a bit different today.
Just enabled sharing, hopefully this link is visible now: https://mut.gg/binder/depth-chart/peatrick/
I've been selling off my more expensive cards. Guess I'll start working on offense in hopes of being ready and able to carry us to glory.
I'm NY based, but wr0k in Cali, so I tend to keep odd hours that probably align with your own.

Haha too true man! For those of you that haven't played, squads can be a really cool light hearted laugh you just don't want to take it too seriously. You come across a vast difference in skill levels throughout a session and it's just a case of everyone bearing with each other etc
have they patched the mode? i’ve wanted to try it.
Trying my best to keep up with the comments. I am down to play any of the positions - OC, DC, HC - just need practice at OC. I usually play in the evenings once the kids go to bed. If you want to send friend requests, please do so.
