Harvest Backyard Games: Dad Adventures solos

I know it’s been well established how brutal the Backyard Games solos. Trying to grind them out right now… for the people who have done them, are there any specific plays/strategies that worked best? Or just have to bite the bullet and grind?

I basically apply the following principal to the games, where applicable:

Run any form of Shotgun verticals, double team the defensive end on the side you want to escape the pocket, and then run with the QB. You can relatively easily gain 15+ yards per play with this. For short yardage, goal line runs work as well.

Then on defense, run commit, because they can't complete passes with their short receivers.

Sounds good man I appreciate it

In addition to what has already been stated, use the low throw mechanic if you absolutely have to pass the ball. It works more often than you might think.

I'm just glad I got all of the minimum stars needed from having to deal with this garbage. Certainly makes you appreciate your own team and preferred playbook so much more.

I don't know how much the 100 blitz bucks are really going to matter so I am probably not going to bother with the rest of these......I have no fun playing these solos LOL

truth… feel the same

Me and a friend run all the challenges together. I run offense and he does the defense. Lot more fun and less stressful we normally knock them all out in a few hours. 

Also helps his defense is full legends and he is a no money spent madden grinder.

I agree the 100 blitz tickets is nothing to brag about either but extra coins to bank on is better than nothing.
