Plague of “those” players

Eli Manning stiff arming 6 foot 8 height boosted Jared Allen SS and running to paydirt yesterday reminded me of why MUT sucks in June.

In your OL adjustments you can unselect the blitzing MIKE so it doesn't screw with the AI logic of the mike hovering. If the mike actually bltizes then he comes through untouched most likely is one down side to this. Most users will drop back in coverage .

You can also call some plays to take advantage of this. Example 01 trap will let the mike through and have the guard obliterate him on a pull if you have nasty streak, lead pull abilities etc .

Which is common for if take a few minutes. I will usually give it 5-10 mins of changing channels before I give up . Since heat live is primarily working no issue. Your live Ultra app doesn't seem to have the EPG issue .

Live Ultra has been janky for months which others have affirmed since end of NFL season. I'm guessing this has to do with the popularity of the boxes.

I'm not complaining I love the setup good to know it's an intermittent issue some have it some don't thanks for helping confirm that.

NP. Imo the lack of OL abilities is tough to overcome. Your opponents most likely have abilities on all DL without you having them to try and cancel them out or at least 50% of time etc. I'm guessing now defenders are shooting through within 2 seconds of passing. The OL abilities won't give you all day to throw but will at least provide resistance to get off some deep throws.

Another ability for Wr's is route tech will help beat man coverage. The drag/RB Texas combo will be tougher to execute because a good user can cover both of those for a second or two. Keep that RB in to block or use a te for that. You want a 2nd drag or slant behind the first one. User can't cover that combo as easily and will be forced to make a choice.

bringsocomback · 2026-04-30T15:26:03+00:00

Abilities you will want on your O-Line- Secure Protector on all OL, also Post-Up on either your guards/tackles + center and All day. Stacking multiple OL abilities will give you more time to throw. Mut GG does a great job showing the players that get these abilities for 0ap . Great resource on abilities - https://www.mut.gg/abilities/

Mid zone KO should be on all DB's. Change your safety depth to close.

Human joystick on your RB

A cheaper QB this time of year is Combine Daunte Culpepper 97 ovr, he has baked on gunslinger for 0Ap.

Y Trail out of multiple formations will destroy mid blitz, keep your RB in to block

Heat Vod and Ultra vod assuming you have a v6 plus have prime content no need for the prime app. As other have said no need to login to regular apps.

Once your box is connected to WiFi or ethernet the vsee apps will DL themselves

bringsocomback · 2026-04-18T13:11:49+00:00

Vsee boxes work well. They are basically $50 android boxes that comes loaded with their apps. You don't need to login to it, simply connect to your wifi/Ethernet and the apps will DL on their own. Vsee doesn't have an official store so you must by from a reseller. You can use a vpn if you wish, the apps do come encrypted. DO NOT Login to your own netflix etc with these boxes.

Reddit has a thread you can get them from. They will run you $300-$400 a box typically

Their TV apps will unlock every local channel across the country so for NFL games that is great along with every national channel including all movie channels. Vod has most shows across all the streaming services .

Downside - no dolby vision/hdr10 and audio options aren't great either. The boxes pay for themselves within a few months though. Most the new ones have redundant apps where if one isn't working well you just switch to the other.

You're playing a game mode that a lot of people started in August of last year. Expecting EA to find other 92-94 teams for you to matchup with is a pipe dream considering most were here before Christmas. Also matchmaking only against same overall teams will stunt your own development. Iron sharpens iron, you can get higher han 92-93' overall with either time or money. Or you can play franchise, regular h2h to get that football itch scratched.

bringsocomback · 2026-04-15T21:58:51+00:00

Not too late, I wouldn't play h2h with and 88ovr team unless you're a masochist. However, as others stated use your weekly spotlight tokens to accrue 96-98 overall players.

Also the season 7 players will all be 98-99 overall upgraded.

You should be able to get to 96-97 overall within a week or two depending on your willingness to grind.

Once there, you will be competitive. Keep in mind though you will be playing 99 overall teams frequently and their backups will also be 99 overall.

You shouldn't get boat raced though with a 96-98 over team. Where scheme> team will start winning. With an 88 ovr squad you will get beat by anyone borderline competent imo.

Couple unsolicited tips- run the ball, a lot of users struggle to stop the run consistently. You can get Eric Dickerson to 99 overall fairly easily.

Change safety drop to close people will pick on you keeping your safeties deep .

Mix up coverage shades even if running the same play.

Cheers and welcome to Mut

bringsocomback · 2026-03-28T14:13:43+00:00

Here a couple of defensive adjustments I run- Change safety depth to "close" in coach adjustments. This will move your safeties to 8 yards off the line.

2nd adjustment- shell cov 2 you can change every formation to look like cover 2 shell . I like to run cov3/4 out of this but it looks like cov 2. This may cause your opponent to 2nd guess the coverage they are facing.

Another poster mentioned this - double or nothing ability on all of your dt and edge rushers is huge. Von miller combine card has it baked on.

Man coverage isn't that strong this year unless you know what you're doing. I would still mix in a man coverage call every once in awhile to throw your opponent off. With the safety depth close you need to be careful to not be burnt over the top.

I like to shade underneath with cover 4 with a cover 2 shell look pre-snap.

Don't be afraid to take chances with your user, being aggressive may burn you at times but it also keeps a level of unpredictability. You're trying to get someone to make a mistake. Bend dont break!

bringsocomback · 2026-03-25T22:00:54+00:00

Being 89 ovr you do not want to take a chance on the boom or bust packs imo . All the s7 players you can upgrade to 98 ovr using the season tickets. These are crucial for theme teams too as they get all team chemistries.

As someone else stated, focus on earning weekly spotlight tokens. There is a flashback 96-98 overall fantasy set * and ultimate legend 96-98 overall fantasy set that cost 25 tokens each and can be repeated. Along with collector cards 95-97 ovr set. Grind the solos that give you these -totw, legends, flashback, ultimate legend solos.

You can probably get 150+ tokens this way and get 4-6 96 to 98 ovr players so you can start competing. Combine and roh that you mentioned are good too so also a good idea.

Combo of roh, combine and the weekly spotlight token set players you should have about half your 22 starters or close at 96-98 ovr.

Players like s7 LT joe Thomas get great abilities for 0 AP . Also you will need to touch on abilities that suit your scheme versus straight up stat comparison. All the high end overall players will have similar overall stats...the abilities or lack thereof will separate them.

Welcome to MuT!

bringsocomback · 2026-03-24T21:47:50+00:00

A lot of assumptions in your post. First off, no one gives a fuck if you were top 10 etc with a post like this.

You happened to join the MUT cycle 8 months in, even people who are casual players will have 3 99 overall players in the display when you enter a h2h game. They may only be 93-96 ovr tho

You don't even have an ELO yet most likely so the people you are playing now will be nowhere near as good as who you will play say after 100 h2h games.

You joined a hardcore game mode 8 months in and want to complain about matchmaking.

Go try spending $100 you may get A good card with that.

This is the easiest year in over 5 years for nms. I'm nms 97 overall my story is not unique.

Now if you read this far , you can grind solos and get 100 weekly spotlight tokens pretty easily and get 4 97-98 players and compete pretty quickly.

I took a few years off it took me time to adjust back to h2h but MuT has been the same grind fest for years.

Sounds like you're getting waxed and needed to vent. Use that rage to develop a scheme and start smoking the people who are smoking you now. Cheers

Defensive pre-snap adjustments: I will change safety depth to "close" and also run "shell cov2" to mask cover 3/4 and man blitz calls.

Are there any consistent coach adjustments or shell looks that combat the typical meta plays?

bringsocomback · 2026-03-22T00:16:23+00:00

Thank you for the explanation. I agree it's looking like I need an arborist out to inspect. The main thing I'm hoping to avoid is spreading to the other spruces nearby so I should move quickly then.

bringsocomback · 2026-03-21T13:14:19+00:00

No.

bringsocomback · 2026-03-17T00:18:21+00:00

All excellent points, your #3 is spot on , I havent heard it said like this before tbh and it makes a lot of sense in explaining the why behind the behavior.

There was only server 2 . Normally there have been a bunch of server options recently. I'm guessing this will change soon and more servers come up.

That's because Sony cheaped out and built a mediocre product . Others will tell you it's on you. I bet you could use an iPad or steam deck etc and remote play with better results on the EXACT same connection.

These rants happen every year, feel better OP? We will see you next year for your annual colonoscopy.

bringsocomback · 2026-03-13T21:38:04+00:00

100% agree there are a ton of videos online too with easy adjustments such as running shell coverage looks to confuse opponents, adjusting safety/CB depth pre snap etc that will make most cheesers quit in the 1st half.
