I'm Seeing What Happened Now

I do tire of the grind. For what? More cheese? I could save myself a lot of trouble.

And I'm sure there are plenty of people that would say that's the right thing to do at this point.

Just frustrating to spend money on a game and watch it get corrupted by the players and have that amplified by EA.

I just want a football game that plays like a football game. It's not asking for much.

I agree!

you want me to post the screen shots of people calling you negative and you insulting people ?

damn hypocrite

Listen, you either have some kind of disability or you're very young. Stop repeating what other people say or do and try to think for yourself. You seem like you're easily influenced which is why you point out weird shit like my interactions with people. Feel free to post screenshots if you want, i really could care less. Again, another young minded statement and i'm telling you this for your own good, think for yourself and stop trying to be like everyone else. Every single post is just you echoing everyone else, it's a little sad to see. 

I have plenty of positive interactions with people here but you either ignore it or your mind is stopping you from seeing it. I personally don't care if you see them or not and i really don't care about your opinion either way. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and instead of reacting emotionally, try to understand what i said. Hope a couple of paragraphs isn't too much for you to handle.

Not rattled at all. Just giving you some advice so maybe you won't embarass yourself anymore than you already do on a daily basis but i doubt you'll listen.

I missed the game. I went in for Super Bowl, and the real big hitters this year were Ultimate Legends and Combine. I'm coin-strapped, and sidelined against these ability-heavy rosters.

This game has absolutely gone to trash for NMS players that mistimed the market. I didn't do anything foolish. I just grabbed the wrong items at the worst possible time.

Awful, awful model for a game. MUT 25 has been an absolute disappointment. I spent coins working around terrible AI, and now I don't have the coins to keep up with the cheat plays everyone is running with high-end players that are unstoppable for my 96 OVR team.

You have a 96 overall team and complaining? I have a 95 overall theme team and playing just fine. I guess it depends on what you play it for. I don't play for the best and newest players and godly team. I just make theme teams and incorporate miami hurricanes players inside that team and just play. This is a cool down from real life for me. I don't care enough I guess to complain about other people teams

lol the combine cards will be worthless soon.  its just a constant cycle.  the playoff cards are even more worthless.

for whatever reason the roster revolution cards are selling for a lot being the worst cards in the game.  not enough people spending money so the market will be overpriced.

As mentioned earlier, 96 overall isn't quite the thing, other than that I have 'kept up'. But in this latest patch and with the latest cards with ultra-low AP ability stacks, my guys won't hold on to anything, they won't cover anything, and they won't tackle anything. My free safety with Deep In-Zone KO just watched a receiver run right through his zone. Just stood there. Apparently I haven't paid enough for the new free safety, now with legs.

Do us all a favor and define what is good:

I don't run the exploits, I don't crash down nine into the box, I don't loop blitz. Basically, I don't do anything of the things on offense or defense that are winning games for the top 1% of MUT players. Therefore, I'm not good.

If we were talking football IQ, I'd argue that I know what I'm doing.

Plus, and I haven't really mentioned this until now, but the game keeps changing constantly. Stuff gets patched, and now different cheat plays emerge. Now I have to learn a whole new set of counters. Also, blocking assignments don't work quite the same as they did with the new cheese blitzes. Every time EA tries to fix something with routine patches, it means I have to learn MUT all over again. If the game played anything like football, I'd probably be fine.

But I'm not here to complain that I'm not better. I'm just complaining that the game right now is glutted with unsportsmanlike behaviors in the gameplay alone. This is beyond argument.

Sorry man. This game is beyond frustrating at times. 

Im going to say something, and I promise im not being smart, or condescending…Madden might not be for you.

EA has shown zero ability and or desire to make this game any sort of a football simulation. The only thing it has is the names on the jerseys and the logos on the helmets. This game will ALWAYS cater to whoever best manipulates EAs horrible engine. 

The beginning of MUT is about as close to an organic game as we’ll have. No abilities, people are still figuring out what works and what doesn’t, and the player pool isn’t stripped down to the hardcore of the hardcore. 

Again, I promise I’m not trying to be crass. This is the way this game and mode will be until the NFL removes the exclusive tag away from EA.

Ok that make sense. I can agree that later in the year the game gets more unbearable because of the abilities every where on the field for free and feels less skill based and more who has the most abilities. But honestly it's been that way for a few years now to me. Meta meta meta abilities abilities. Rinse and repeat. I guess that's why it don't bother me as much lol. I'm telling you. The different theme teams every month or so keep the game interesting. For me atleast. Hope it gets better for you. I just understand what madden has become now and don't let it bother me to much.

But MUT 24 wasn't like this. At all. We didn't get this far until Fan Appreciation. June! The power creep happened on a massive scale, and suddenly.

Just a terrible way to stack on the pain for NMS players that put in the hard hours early on. Absolute waste of time.

It does mean it if your 94 overall comes with a bunch of free abilities. Maybe my 96 OVR is getting matched up against compulsive cheaters.

youre encountering madden cheaters often?

i just lost my super bowl b/c EA gave the dude the best throw somehow im playing prevent dude launches it I MIND YOU ITS A 92 OVR QB and HE CAUGHT IT BUT WHENEVER IM ON OFFENSE ITS LIKE MY OLINE DOESNT WANNA PLAY FOR ME I HAVE 90+ WITH THE BEST ABILITIES ON THEM AND THE DUDE HAD NOTHING I REPEAT NOTHING ON HIS LINE JUST PHASING THROUGH MY OLINE

I don't take what you said disrespectfully. Quitting is my last resort. Recognizing the sunk cost fallacy directs me to quit. Enjoying my entertainment directs me to quit. There's a competitive part of me that says stick around. It's hard saying goodbye. If I quit, I will have to do it with the resolve to never come back unless EA pays me to.
