Lets just use this thread to call out every offensive and defensive play which is effective, have it reduced/made impotent and shift all leagues to Roster Only.

Not saying they get nerfed. Just that the ability to familiarise to them works as it should be.

Man Olb Flat Zone (to pick out a play) is something I've noticed emerging recently and is rather strong. Overall it looks to really do destruction but I've seen it get exposed a couple of times for big gains. I believe that weaker LB corps can get exposed or tailoring some offensive plays to strike against it....it has its weak spots if someone is completely leaning on it. (featuring and zapping it at someone every play as their only Normal Defensive Set defensive play per se)

An opponent today has used it 58 times in the last 4 games.
The typical code beater.
I know hes gonna read it and i honestly hope he finds joy playing this way but i know a lot of players that gets annoyed and even consider leaving MFN for those "code beater".

When I'm in a big game and I notice something like this (severe play over-usage) I get mad. In the past I'd devise specific plays to go right at that defensive play and blow it out of the water.

In today's climate someone streaming a defensive play isn't quite like it was when you'd see the same Blitzes coming at you non-stop. It's also difficult to get pass plays to pop and hone in on doing this under the current code.

Over-using a defensive play today is different than back before the code changes but I get why you're upset. It's pounding a 'containment play' over and over to ensure very small yardage gains by the offense.

:(

Dont think OP is wanting that or that extreme to solve the issue people using same plays over and over.

anyway if i recall setherick had posted a offense play and/or defense play that was too overpowering yet dont think anyone said he wanted what you said to OP or to go that extreme.

i think it was in of these thread
thread = https://rivals.myfootballnow.com/forums/1/111?page=1
thread = https://rivals.myfootballnow.com/forums/1/63?page=1

Now even if he never did i have a message from him from one of his threads yet in that thread when he wanted something no one said he wanted what you think the OP of this thread wants or anything that extreme

I change my play calling for almost every team that I play based on their defenses and their personnel, so I don't see limited playbooks as a liability. I see them as strategic.
That said, I want the catch nerf to be removed ... like a month ago.

I was being sarcastic in my initial post but now see that Alexan had a legitimate reason/motivation on why he posted.

So I sympathized and shared my thoughts with him. :)

I am highly too busy with work, family, friends, social and life to be worrying about studying, examinating and planning against that.
