Hey boys, can you help a new player out?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if you guys could help out a new player. I am coming from NHL 17 hut, I played the beta and I'm not impressed with 18 so I am going to buy madden this year, the last year I played madden was 2005 so do you guys have any advice for me on learning the best way to play and actually be competitive because I don't want to get my ass handed to me every single game and have a 0-100 record on MUT.

Iv watched probably every gmia video because the guy is insanely hilarious and has me in tears, I noticed that he also puts a bunch of his offensive cards on defence and do a lot of players do that on mut?

Also should I look at e books from guys like young kiv? I have no idea where to start with this. I have pre ordered the goat edition on PS4 and would appreciate any advice and for anyone reading this. Thank you.
