House rule takes too long?

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.

Dang, so you're saying I shouldnt be able to hang with my giants TT receivers herman moore, darius slayton, and rookie premier rome odunze?! Dangit

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

Right, I run a half decent scheme but my team is 87/88 OVR and Rome Odunze is still my WR2. It's the mechanics of the game you gotta worry about not the player ratings. The gap is only huge at the beginning of the year when I'm rolling out gold players vs someone 85 OVR lineup. The OVR gap closes after our first 3-4 promos

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'm guessing he saw someone run DBL Safety go, pre patch it was good, but now a fast TE running a streak runs right by the safety.

It's not their users that are giving me fits. It's the schemes. With a handful of scripted inputs and a scant few adjustments, it's pretty hard to gain more than a few yards.

I have a day job. What about you?

I own my own landscapes business. It’s nice to know that you have a day job. Thats super important to me, what you do for a living and the fact that you work means everything while playing the game of madden. I’m glad you let me know that you have a day job. I’m proud of you. 🤣

Inferring the area of Michigan from your user name, you were awake at two o'clock CST Monday morning to flex about your gardening hustle. From the sound of it, you play more games of Madden each week than you could have clients, and to each his own in that regard. I'm glad that your relative success in life allows you to focus more on Madden than on running a business for the sake of your family.

Your pattern of responses coupled with your final post tells me everything I need to know about you: Youthful arrogance, skewed priorities, and a superiority complex.

I'll choose not to engage the troll any further. Enjoy your game.

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

Probably not good enough
