House rule takes too long?

At least this event is a good way to rack up interceptions.

I got 5 dubs in like 30 mins lol

Wow not sure you guys must have a bad roll on matchmaking. It took me less than 2 hours. Went 10-2 one of those loss was from a meta cheese player and the other one beat me fair and square. Not worth playing after getting 10 wins. Kind of boring most players just throw on 4 verts.

Most opponents I’ve had quit after you score a TD; as do I. I’m not interested in spending time to match TDs and it makes the games go by faster.

set to recieve ball first in settings, enter in, if you are defense quit immediately. if u are running unti cheesey blitz u cant block leave instantly, etc. why waste time. it takes a minute to ff and find another match eith ni penalty? i see so many players playing it out its so odd and just too much pride. quit give the orher man an easy dub and go find yourself another one

I feel like I’m going to slog through this for the ten wins. Maybe. I can’t imagine why someone would want to play for 40 wins with such weak rewards.

My first game went to overtime. I barely kept him out of the endzone (he started the event with possession, and then won the coin flip), but had to burn early plays just to avoid a game-losing safety. I went on to throw a pick deep in his territory, but then immediately gave up a nine-route for the loss. Terrible event.

Terrible event? This event is great imo. hardly anyone running and it’s just high octane down field football. Quick games so it makes it great for practicing different schemes. I wish this event would stay open forever.

You’re playing this mode just for fun? why not grind seasons then or even champs, to at least get some rewards.

I like *football*. I like playing the game enough to keep playing hoping for a football-like experience now and then. I don’t like playing sweats, and I don’t understand why it hasn’t been your experience that the mode is full of sweats, because I’ve had more than my share of guys running exploits on both offense and defense. Non-stop Mid Blitz, and the same ceiling-busting route combos that have been working since at least MUT 24. 

This House Rules is waaaaay longer than previous House Rules events. The only way these run short is if your opponent quits, or if your opponent is terrible and doesn’t understand the concepts appropriate for going 80 yards in seven plays.

I like it too, I don’t find it sweaty at all, so far I’m 22-4

Too much nine-man front and alternating between heavy blitzes and dropping everyone. If you have to do this, it is basically cheating.

How is that cheating? I would love to see “9 man fronts”. I promise you they would get out of that defense fast. There is nothing in this game that doesn’t have a weakness, you just have to find it

I'd love to see nine-man fronts too if I had a 91 OVR team going against an 89 OVR team that couldn't catch anyone running a nine-route. For those of us that get out-meta'd and have our players out-classed from the gun, there is no weakness to exploit because we don't last long enough in the pocket with our blockers being insta-shed and our receivers being mauled at the line. If I'm going to go the coin-flip route, sometimes I get one behind the defense, but it doesn't happen often enough for me to drive eighty yards in seven plays.

By the way, all of this is in the context of the House Rules. I can handle this nonsense in football modes. It's sweaty and not an authentic football experience, but it's not leaning into the MUT mechanics so as to make an opposing offense unplayable if it doesn't have a starting offensive lineup made up almost exclusively of late-October players.

I got 6 wins in 2 days. It took me a while to get my grove but normally I get int and the other person quits

The one redeeming quality. No "get five interceptions" dailies during this time, of course.

I have a team with 80% free players or players from rewards. You do not need the best player at every position to compete. If you are complaining about the meta gameplay, that’s on you and you need to know how to beat it. Most people that run that bs are trash to begin with and you can out think them almost every time due to the fact that they are running schemes that they don’t even understand they just see it on YouTube
