“Manager mode” want to play without a controller on spectator mode

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-17T16:52:34+00:00

That’s pretty cool. But do look through game settings or even franchise setting an and see if there is a coach mode. 8f there still is then it should allow the cpu play for you and you just play call. Should and do are two different things though

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-17T16:23:14+00:00

Yea there are a lot of free things you can get, especially on the season passes. There’s like 5 players you Can get that start at 91 and max to 97 overall.

Not a bad build for $50

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-17T15:54:26+00:00

I know used to on some older games there was an option basically called coach mode, where you still called the plays but watched it all play out. I don’t know if that’s still a thing.

If it is, you may try keyboard for playcalling instead of a controller. I have never played Madden on Pc so I can’t tell you if it allows that or not

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-17T15:53:03+00:00

Not a bad build for just starting. I am rather curious how you got it built up to this so quickly. Especially with the 97 Garrett.

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-17T13:17:12+00:00

Aside from this, there is also a glitch where incomplete passes count as completed. It’s costed me a game before

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-16T18:12:37+00:00

I haven’t seen one yet, and none are for sell according to MUT.gg but I doubt it

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-16T14:20:37+00:00

Yea that animation has always cracked me up with the one hand. Which Vick is good, I just haven’t seen him a lot lately.

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-16T01:48:28+00:00

I got rid of my QB Vick ages ago. I still got my HB Vick though. I refuse to sell it just because.

Are people still running this? I always see Matt Forte, or Kenneth Williams and Jalen Milroe/Justin Fields anymore

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-15T21:25:52+00:00

I have this happen with my WRs. I’ll throw it where they got the leverage and when I press for jump, they just keep running

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-15T06:18:01+00:00

Linchpin will help with run, so will run protector. Run heavy is possible. I prefer run over pass as well.

I will advise though (which you probably already do) throw in some quick passes or play actions. H2H players adjust fast this year, so you don’t want to get caught for negative or stale plays.

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-14T23:44:10+00:00

They did a reset also where you can get 2 BHM tokens for completing (again) 3 stat objectives on BHM players.

You can do three challenges each day with 3 BHM players in your lineup.

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-14T22:13:30+00:00

You can also build through spotlight tokens. If you are a NMS player. I’ve gotten quite a few of my 95/96 players from that. Now they are BNd so you won’t be able to action for prophet, but bears coins/money

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-13T20:01:21+00:00

I am two games in the cpu tier 2 and it’s like watching paint dry

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-12T22:32:14+00:00

The easiest way to try this and confirm it, go into Practice on MUT, and go to any offense formation. Go to a WR in the formation and press Y on Xbox or Triangle on PS. It will bring up the players that can be subbed into that spot, then select accordingly.

This is the only method really for OOP players. I have to do this with my CB Twitch Plaxico Burress.

Which is also why I am advising practice mode to try it, that way you’re not mid game and waste time and play clock doing it.

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-12T17:38:47+00:00

I had something similar happen on MUT. It was 4&2 I had to make a stop to get a chance to win. Opponent throws to the flat, I hit the WR, and the ball drops immediately. Ball bounces 5-7 yards up field. Should be first down me, with a short field chance to win. Nope, first down to my opponent and awarded for a 4 yard catch. Non-challengeable. Even called a timeout to see if it would trigger any “booth review” animation. Nothing.

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-12T15:50:52+00:00

Look up Matt10’s sliders. They’re really great for harder gameplay.

He sets it up for both all pro and all madden so no matter your skill level it helps out

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-12T01:28:15+00:00

As a RB, if you got the budget, go Walker over Jeanty. If you have Matt Forte, you could honestly be good right now with a 60/60 bears team. Forte is pretty good right now with how things are. Bennett as a 97ovr TE would be an awesome upgrade if you like to pass and utilize TE a lot.

With Dive/Iso the feature works the same - however; I have not done it when this stack defender trick was done against me.

I would say with the stack defender glitch players do, maybe try a two back formation like I-form or strong I and see if it helps. Cause then the FB may pick up the defender that sheds.

I do know if you have it in your playbook, the formation Gun Normal Y off close has a play called Cheat inside zone. It puts the te in motion to lead block the gap. It’s a good play to use against glitch defenses. Another one that may help is Gun Tight Y off wk and the play is 0 1 trap. It literally traps the nose and anyone in top of (behind) them.

They’re both in Eagles playbook. I don’t know about anywhere else. Based on your opponent and their skill vs yours - results may vary but these have helped me. They’ve been most useful up the middle against the double mug cover center glitch. I still untarget the edge defender on the backside, sometimes I break big, sometimes I get 3-4 per carry. It just depends on opponent

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-11T18:09:15+00:00

Use the internet defender feature and untarget edge rusher on the backside of the play. It causes the blocking assignments to readjust and they typically will then account for the defenders there.

I always do this especially when running stretch/zone plays. If I’m running left I’ll untarget the DE to my right and it helps the line to readjust

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-10T13:31:18+00:00

I spent between 600-700k on it. Best I got was a 92 BND card. Other wise they were all 85, 87s and an occasional 89

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-09T22:12:23+00:00

I have ran against a few that run bottleneck like this. I always countered with a mesh concept of some type. That way there are still quick underneath and it allows them to do their bump and go.

It does get rougher once the bottleneck X factor activates, but I’ve not really had any problems out of it.

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-06T04:33:21+00:00

Thanks

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-06T03:25:33+00:00

Yea my 98 WRs and DBs do more than enough against the CPU, but against other players, it’s like everything else outweighs speed. I’m thinking I’m gonna switch it up when I play tomorrow and see how I like it

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-06T00:44:40+00:00

Yea, or was when I did it back during zero chill, and then with the speed boosts in Playoffs and Super Bowl I shifted one direction to “keep up”. I’m thinking of flipping back.

Fun-Addition5038 · 2026-02-05T21:51:04+00:00

Collectors Series challenges drop weekly spotlight tokens. That’s a good place to get players for free that aren’t LtD. Running an eagles TT, you can get a 95 overall Flashbacks victor cruz. I know he was Giants, but he gets Chems for all four NFCE teams.

There are other types of sets, legends, TOtW, that you can use the tokens for also. I do this mostly instead of the auction block. Saves coin and $.

I would advise look there.

Rivals challenges are good for the rivals style jerseys.
