But playing H2H I would suggest getting really comfortable with one formation and have several runs and passes out of it and mix it up to keep opponents guessing. And play the game at your own tempo. Dictate the pace. I like to run and use the clock to limit possessions by the opponent since most people online like to have a quick scoring offense going for big plays. Also since games are so short there's only a few possessions per game. You could realistically keep the ball for an entire half. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

Completely agree with this. 2k is the same. I’ve noticed the online cheeses who play “2k” ball versus actual basketball. 2k rewards the cheesers.

So far I haven’t seen as much cheese in Madden but that could be from lack of playing online too much.

The pace of play Def works. Plenty of the games I’ve won, the opponent starts the game with a TD within 3 plays. I adjust after but usually they can’t seem to adjust. I just hold the ball for a decent amount of time instead of going for the 1 play TD kill
