Madden adjusts game sliders?

After playing a lot of ranked madden I think I’ve come to a conclusion especially after a game I recently played. It seems that when you go on a winning streak and you get into a game with a not so good opponent or team they adjust the sliders your opponents way. Now I wouldn’t see this as a problem if it was in base h2h but in ranked, no way. Ranked is supposed to be skill vs skill(and whoever spends more money) but I just played an absolute 🗑️ and his players had to be on roids. I have a lot of the combine cards and none of there x-factors worked but his 90 overall players were the goats. Idk i just don’t think something like this should be in effect, ESPECIALLY in ranked. I would like to here what you guys think.

Maybe they have the right mix of players and know exactly how to use them based on their specific schemes on offense and defense. There are a lot of players that think a player's overall is the be all end all of how they're gonna perform in every offense and defense. Having players on your team in place really fit their specific roles can go a long way. 

Maybe your opponent can read your coverages on defense and knows exactly how to counter them. Maybe your opponent happens to be really good at stopping your specific strategies you use on offense.

Maybe what you do on defense and/or offense just happens to be a bad match for what he does on offense and/or defense based on personnel. Not every roster is going to be built to stop and/or beat everything. Teams are going to have strengths and weaknesses. Offensive and defensive strategies are also going to have their own set of strengths and weaknesses. Individual players on are not built to beat every single player they're going to face. 

 Are you adjusting based on what your opponent is doing or are you the player that is going to live and die on what you're most comfortable doing despite the matchup? Players do make adjustments.

 I played a guy last night who dismissed any and everything I did in the game as the game bailing me out. My opponent had no clue how basic his strategy was to me on offense and defense and the only thing that was really keeping him in the game was the fact that his roster was much more stronger than mine. Based on the way he was playing if he and I had more even rosters it would've been a blowout my way. He constantly usered his linebacker and I guessed that he was compensating for not truly knowing how  coverages worked so I would flood the middle of the field that he was defending and targeted his other linebacker that was constantly matched up against my much faster tight end in man coverage. I also ran a bunch of drags, crossers, and slants to the inside because his defenders were geared to stop passing to the outside. I also figured out he had trouble with Cover 4 so he saw that coverage for the whole second half because he never adjusted and took short routes underneath the coverage. He solely wanted to scramble and chuck for big plays downfield. 

In that case and many others I've seen I really don't believe in this idea of DDA taking potential wins away from players. I think there are players that don't understand the nuiances of this game and that there isn't supposed to be any plays that work out a full 100% of the time. I also play poker and people have the same mentality when it comes to that especially in the casino. Nothing is a guarantee. People often forget about all the times the obvious play worked out for them or their opponents got unlucky when the odds were in their opponents' favor. They normally only remember when things didn't go their way when they were expecting otherwise.
