RaymondSeenIt said:BTW, the team shows no improvement with either the Playoffs or the Black history Month Strategy cards. I’ve been using them, testing out things. I’ve been through more permutations than you would likely believe. I plug those I and it doesn’t effect my team in the way you might expect: they do nothing. What is on paper is not what is on field.
As a rule, attributes influence on-field performance, but once every player on the field has two or more abilities, attributes matter much less. Even SPD won't matter much if your defender is running quickly in the wrong direction because the random number generation on receiver-defender interactions determines that your defender has been beaten. SPD also won't matter much against Mesh concepts if your opponent has aligned their formation and selected receivers with particular SPD's to raise the chance of rubs that leave receivers wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open.
I wouldn't put too much stake in AWR, as that alone will not make your players smarter and react better to the cheap crap most users are running in head-to-head. A 99 AWR safety in zone coverage will still tend to bite on the lateral that precedes the downfield pass on the Double Pass plays, and a 99 AWR Read-Key defensive end will still ignore your pre-play instructions to run out to the flats to defend the RPO pass attempt if your opponent calls an RPO play. I haven't seen a coherent explanation of what AWR or PRC do that holds up to all of the things I see in this game, and that is why I have no problem calling users cheaters when they deliberately execute plays in such a way as to make "smart players" act dumb.
In this context, it is impossible for me to recommend which players here to listen to about countering the cheats without being sanctioned for calling out users. Keep reading what users post on this website, and you'll pick up on some ideas for counters that can be highly effective if you're willing to reduce Madden to an analog of Simon.
