I played LB most of the year until the new TJ came out now I'm having fun playing as him as they have to double team me to stop me from getting in. If they are pass heavy then I only bring 3 and still get pressure. Personally I don't care what people like as I play to have fun and I've always had the most fun trying to rush the passer, whether that is franchise or MUT. I've had people talk trash that I still beat them even though I'm a "D line user". One guy even said they shouldn't allow it, like that makes sense. I just want to have fun and play football and most of the people complaining don't want that, they want to run the meta and win no matter what, so let them complain and just laugh that their life is so pathetic that they say the crap they do to people they don't know about a game.

Exactly, that's what I didn't get, people can play the way they want to if they're enjoying themselves
I user both DLine and LBs, depending on where my defense needs the most help
I like to user Peppers on passing downs, he is so damn fast lol.
Really funny when I get sacks from a 2 man rush lol
I never understood it, I personally can do both but I prefer to use the D-Line because I grew up when that’s just how you played Madden. Honestly I have more fun using the D-Line there’s nothing like user sacking a guy only sending 3 when he’s done nothing all game but blitz, and TBH usering just feels cheap because you get away with things that are not possible because there’s no realism, no penalties for change of direction just full speed at all times, animations cause players to do things they can’t do in real life (if I ever see Aaron Donald one hand fade interception over George Kittel I’ll shit my pants). I just feel more accomplished when I user the D-line a force a pick then when I Just hold sprint and run around WRs mashing Y. In some cases it can’t be helped tho such as a roll out crossers spamer then you have to user but if I don’t have to D-line all day

I know what you mean. When I first started playing the first player I used was on the D-line so I just kept using that as it was what I knew
I always try and play LB, thats the best position for run stopping and picking off passes. The only problem is I am not that good at it, but in theory the more you play it, the better you should get. I have had many games where Im struggling, so switch to a DL, much harder to mess up in that position. But a good player will tear you to pieces if your controlling just a DL.
Well, I love to play on the D-Line for run-stopping purposes and even pass rush. I have no problem getting to the QB and if he gets it off I can quickly swap and user someone in the secondary and make a play. I've plenty of safety users and yes most blow the coverage running from left to right, but I have played some really good users that can shut down almost anything thrown back there and step up to stop the run. To me, it's just what do you feel comfortable doing, it doesn't mean you suck cause you play on the D-Line.
Same here, I want to try and disrupt things early so I use D-line but I'll swap back if they get the pass off

I have played so many safety users that blow coverage - dont know why people do it. Why all the hatin on dline users?
I've probably played less than 10 this year. Seems as if everyone is a safety user now
It basically tells me that I’m playing against the cpu - like solo battles
I guarantee you my dline user will get 3 sacks a game and at least 5 hurries usually force two interceptions or get two fumbles per game like 75% of the time.
It hasn't happened in a long time, but I love playing dline users. Way too easy.
It’s the universal sign for “I suck but my team is good”
I love it cause that means I won’t have to worry about getting picked off by a user. I don’t know why anyone would hate it. Unless you’re playing squads, then you probably would want a teammate that can user very well.
I don't think it's that people don't like d-line users, most people laugh at d-line users, the users ability to cover ground is significantly better than the computers, a user can take away the entire middle of the field or wherever they use, d-line users are easier to go against for the most part...there is an exploit with a user loop that is stupid and annoying but if you know it's coming you can adjust
From what I've seen it seems like people don't like people who use their D-line players, why is this?
