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.

You've made my day man I haven't heard so much * spew out of ones mouth quicker than yours, You just don't get what were trying to say I've been playing Madden since the SNES and while each game had a certain play or two this is just ridiculous with these cheese plays today I can handle blitzes I can handle man and zone but I can't handle it when my OFFENSIVE LINE DECIDES NOT TO BLOCK LT COMING OFF THE EDGE FOR A SACK, maybe in caps you might get it. Oh and get off that high horse of yours please.

And we shouldn't have to run certain plays because Madden players today use cheese, those plays should either be removed from the game or the player using them should be penalized (if you need every single cheese play I will gladly list them all) and now with these screen plays Madden's becoming a * show of cheese.

@Mr_DaddyJ_93 First, I didn't expect you to send any videos.

Second, I'm never playing MUT. I literally have ZERO interest in the mode as a whole and wish they would stop making it because it takes away from the only modes I actually will play.

Third, just because I'm not a dev doesn't mean I can't help. Just this year, one of the videos I posted was addressed in a patch. I've also been to Orlando twice in the past to meet with devs on Community Day to talk about issues with the games. The change I'm most proud of is DB's catching passes near the sideline even if they are going to land out of bounds and defensive players being awarded possession in the air on an interception. I brought them both up to devs and they tole me they wouldn't be able to get it in in that years's version. They changed it - it just took another year.

In conclusion... Post some links to videos. I'm still waiting.

Having trouble seeing sport? I never said I would uploaded videos if your that intent on seeing me check out my PH page, I said I would list certain plays that cause a glitchy sack or broken routes or coverage. But its typical EA attitude and response.

What gets me though is when certain routes (shotgun 3 wide 1 RB and 1 TE I believe) when the QB motions the RB far right and gives him a streak route somehow the safety doesn't pick him up even though the safety will trail him but just stop covering Half way through the route. That's just a minor cheese play though as if I use my safety (which I hate doing) I can prevent the RB from getting wide open but that leaves more open space. So while you can user to stop most cheese plays the AI just doesn't want to cover for you very well (I've seen my Jamal Adams just standing in the middle of the field while hill just fly's past)

@TrumpsADump99 No need to upload one of your own... Just link to something that's already out there.

Bro you gotta play to understand you can see the vid or hear the play an your gonna say all this nonsense that has been tried. But until you play an have a lb or dt or cb or saftey come through EVERY PLAY no matter the formation or block scheme you will not get it. unless you can program the blockers to actually block or as the other gentlemen here mentioned make your dbs cover properly an not just stand there YOU cannot help.

@Mr_DaddyJ_93 We'll never know til you post something and see if I know what I'm talking about... If you're right, you're still in the same position. But if I'm right, you will have the answer to how to block the blitzes that give you trouble.

Why all the stalling?
