How to beat Legend Difficulty Solo Battles (Series X/S)

From what I've seen, half of your passes just get intercepted, and you have next to no blocking. Please tell me there's a way to cheese it.

Most of the time you can run punt block defense and bring down the return man and sack the qb everytime

On offense I go 5 wide.. Look for a play that sends 3 WRs deep. ( or hot route 3 of them deep). Then put one inside receiver on a drag and one on a slant. Put your fastest receivers on the drag and slant routes.. The drag will be open for 4-12 yard everytime they run zone. . The slant will usually beat man. The one key is that your receivers need to be faster than the AI corners. . Which is pretty easy to do.

The other key thing to do is play ball control offense. Most games I just need to get one stop and I can keep the ball away from them the rest of the game. I throw the 5 yard drag and just fall down. Then another 5 yard drag etc. Put chew clock on and you can knock out a game in 10-15 minutes easily.

Im not sure what skill level you are so If this doesn’t make sense and you are on PS4 we could squad up and I’ll show you. PSN- MoistureXLR8R good luck!

*edit- I just noticed how many post you have. You probably know more about the game than me. Lol Maybe it Can help someone else out lol.

Power run, slide blockers to the way you’re running the ball (LB + direction). Mesh pass play seems to always have an open route.

Defense run Cover 4 (any formation) while mixing in a 6 man rush man coverage play (I use 2 Nickel blitz one with both linebackers and the other corner lb).

I'm on Xbox, so that won't work, but I appreciate the advice.

You can still use PA crossers. Send TE on streak. You can mix throws between the middle and near WRs. Just look at the coverage. Also you can send TE on a slant at times and he will be open instead of a streak. When you hit Redzone start running. Mix in a few short slants or out side throws. Also when you get near the end zone (within 5 yards) it seems to be more difficult this year to score with a run and mesh. Use inside zone in gun. Find the right one and the defense will spread out and it’s an easy TD. When you get up by 14-17 make sure you chew clock. Make sure when in the 4th quarter turn Ball Carrier to conservative. The system will cheat a fumble. I also like to change def to swat when closing out the game. I am on NexGen Series X. Make sure Zones are on Match (you can keep the whole game).

Download the Xbox One version and play solos off it. Much easier to get through the MVP and Legend solos.

Same. I’ve been running that PB for years. I skipped 22. The PB is a little different now, but still has a lot of great plays.

here is how you beat them.

run rpo glitch out of gun deuce close in kc playbook.

throw to the tight end in the wheel every time. You need a first down. Run the clock.

you will score every time and it works going for 2 point play also

One thing I noticed helps against AI is to call a different type of play than you intend to run. I will usually select plays by formation. Once I have the formation I want I select a running play when I want to pass and a passing play when I want to run. I then audible and/or hot route into the play I actually want to call.

It seems to mess up the AI play calling and give me an advantage after I audible. If you call the play you intend to run its' easier for the AI to pick the right counter play every time.

I have so much more success running out of shotgun when I call a passing play from the playbook and then audible to a run.
