Please fix the overpowered blitz glitch cause to me its cheating when playing online and only those that use it to win will say different so please fix it EA_Blueberry: Edited post title to match post description

I have noticed 2 things. When i run any type of zone coverage and then adjust the attack angle of my defensive line, my corners and safeties randomly change coverage to man and nobody ever is in thier zones. It only happens when i adjust the line. Its cost me a ton of wins. Also i dont even wanna play squads anymore because i keep getting nano blitzed by this glitch called "buck-0, when u pinch the linebackers and put fast lbs on the outside u have zero time to even throw a damn slant or drag. This is killing my interest in madden 20 and takes 0 skill to do.

I'll preface this with, I NEVER uses shotgun and I'm doing what I want against the Pinch Buck 0 out of the 3-4 Odd... I call it the "Everybody Defense" and there are a ton of ways to beat it... Here's a few. 2TE Formations: Schematically, a 2TE set with a TE on each end of the line will negate pressure from most 3-4 formations. The location of the TEs puts them in the perfect spot to block edge rushing LBs on stretch and zone runs, and they give you quick hot routes against a blitz.Swing Passes: When the pressure comes from the middle, a quick pass to the edge will get the ball to your playmakers in space. Motion a back to the slot to stress the coverage spacing and you can pop a big one every few plays. Boost Protection: The Pinch Buck 0 is typically a 6 man rush, with 5 man defenders. Block one eligible receiver and you beat the rush. If your quarterback can move, that one block may be all you need to get a lane up the middle to pick up some yards. If you have an X-Factor receiver, it will buy you time to get deep.Tax the Manual Defender: Most Madden players run the high pressure scheme to force a quick throw. In the Pinch Buck 0, the corners play the outside receivers, the safeties play the next inside receivers. Most people manually control the linebacker to rove the middle. ATTACK THE LINEBACKER. Using a variety of routes, you can keep hitting your back with angle, flat, streaks, and curls to run them around in circles.Run The Ball: Quick hitting plays will catch defenders running right at the guys trying to block them. Stay off the Sprint (R2/Right Trigger) until you break through the line and you should be able to pick up 3-5 yards a pop.Whatever you do, avoid screens. While they seem to be the best counter, most players adjust the outside rushers to contain and that will blow up your screen. Remember, this defense is just a test to see if you are a decent Madden player. If you beat it a few times, your opponent will run it less often. Beat it for a few big plays and they will stop altogether. But it's a test of YOUR ABILITY, not his. Just know that they will run it in the beginning of a game to see if it will be viable against YOU. If it's not, they will move onto something else (usually a Zone coverage). Hope this helps,Later

@Mr_DaddyJ_93 I can only speak for myself, but in the 8000+ games since my first online game in November 2002, I've never encountered a blitz I wasn't able to block for long enough to run a consistently productive offense. That was before slide protecction, ID the Mike, double teams, or Max protect were even added to the offense's arsenal, so pardon me if I seem a little weary of the "all I can do is quit" angle because I'm facing the same online players as everyone else and I'm blocking it...I'll preface this post with a philosophy that is commonly overlooked, but should inform our strategic decisions. Football is about getting the right players to the right places at the right time; in essence, there are only three things to worry about: Personnel, Position, and Tempo.I challenge you to do more. Remember, I'm haven't used shotgun in 17 years. Ask yourself:- Are you positioning your players to be able to block a blitz through formation?- Are you taking too long to spot open man?- Are you maximizing your protection by staying in the pocket?By my count, you've tried about 4 of the possible hundred or so things you could use to solve your protection problem. The reason 70-80% of people online use the same things isn't because it's a glitch, it's because the average Madden player hasn't figured it out and quits before they find a solution...You can block ANY BLITZ - if you really want to. Or you could complain about not wanting to and not block the blitz. I'll help you if you want, or you can stay frustrated. Choice is yours.Later

@Mr_DaddyJ_93 No offense, but I've been playing Madden longer than you've been alive and I'm aware of the YouTube videos that are titled instant blitz, of which, none of them are instant. The fastest blitz I've ever seen, got to the QB on a straight drop before the QB could take two steps... But it was easily blocked with a FB in a standard I-Form Normal formation.With all due respect, I've sponsored tournaments, own the longest continuously running Madden site on Earth, and have been running an offense exclusively from under center for the last 17 years. Trust me, there is NOTHING YouTube has that I can't block...Test me: Link to any video you want and I'll tell you what I'd do to block it.Remember, people that post blitzes on YouTube will post their blitz in a way that makes it look most effective. They won't show it against formations, or blocking schemes that the blitz is weak or ineffective against. So while they say "there's nothing you can do," there is.Sadly, I'm not special. If I can block them, anyone can. But only if they WANT to block more than they want to complain.Later

MUT game play needs to take a page out of the franchise gameplay playbook. Just because you press someone but you’re dropping back to guard a deep 3rd doesn’t mean if i have a speed advantage that you can still guard me. That makes no sense also showing blitz should come with penalty shouldn’t be able to guard pass and run. Also the blitz buck O out of 3-4 odd is ridiculously OP either make the check down routes able to hit with a faster release for those routes or nerf the blitz because you could do anything against it except 1 route or two routes that can’t allow you to actually gain yards and and taken away from user.

Lol play mut an see if you don't have the problem don't run shotgun run anything you want I have 92 wrs not getting open even if I somehow manage to block them it works SOMETIMES it's not rocket science to block the blitz it's the fact that the game machanics to block those blitzes are not good

If you're all having some trouble with a certain blitz, be sure to mention if it's standard H2H teams or Madden Ultimate Team.

Why not compile a list of great counters to these blitzes you are all referring to? Toss in a video of the blitz in question and let's dissect it. Personally, I've seen some success with toss plays when opponents are bunching up their linebackers at the line. If you hike the ball right when the receiver is in motion by the outside TE/lineman you help gain an extra blocker when you're trying to get to the edge.

Works sometimes but certain blitzes get through right after you hand the ball off

@Mr_DaddyJ_93 MUT wasn't made for me. No interest. But I'm assuming X's and O's still work in MUT.

@Mr_DaddyJ_93 In my experience, good football always works, but people want to use bad football and hope the programming bails them out. I might use slide protect, ID the Mike, max protect once every 10-15 games, because I haven't needed any of it. Formation does most of the protection work for me.

Dude your not getting what I am saying to you doesn't matter the formation how is using good football mechanics bad football? I use a crap load of formations it DOES NOT WORK. If your not playing mut you won't get it

Exactly, it doesn't matter if it's just an exhibition online play now, certain formations glitch the game out, it's not a matter of player skill or IQ it's the fact whoever coded this game should be fired beyond belief, I mean kids spamming quarter end up in my backfield because my blockers cant see LT running up to my QB but yeah it's all just player skill 😒

@TrumpsADump99 When I refer to "player skill" it doesn't mean one player's skill is high, it usually means the other player's skill is low. The reason blitzes become "Meta" is because the average Madden player is strategically ill equipped to handle a good blitz.

@Mr_DaddyJ_93 If you're blaming your inability to block a blitz on playing MUT, why are you still playing MUT? Seems silly to me that despite using the best football tactics, you still can't succeed against the tactics you're referring to...

I'll make the same deal with both of you that I make with everyone else. If you don't believe I know what I'm talking about, TRY ME!!! Link to a video, I'll tell you what I'd do to block it. The caveat being - I never use Shotgun, so don't expect any Shotgun answers.

Please make it a good one. I'll wait.

Because I enjoy the game mode I've been playing it since it's come out. it just kills it when that's all people run I'm not gonna send you videos etc that would take to much time an there's alot of different ones. go online an play mut an you'll see your self 8/10 players will use blitzes. Anyways you can't help your not a Dev anyway as I've said I can block the blitzes sometimes but I can't stop my line from dumbing out and not blocking the guy in front of them that's the issue here you act like everyone just runs shotgun all day I run all different formations sometimes it just doesn't work.
