Probably in the minority here

Does anyone else mainly just do the solo battles and challenges? I’ll do the occasional online game but most of the time it’s just not fun so find myself playing against the CPU.

I used to do that but I find it boring playing against only the CPU. It really doesn't matter how good the slider on the CPU are, they're never going to present the same challenge as online H2H.

I’m the opposite. I can’t play madden unless I’m playing a real person. The CPU is trash and offers no competition. I do solos when they are worth it but hate every second of it!

This is exactly what I do. I'm in my mid 30s and have no interest or patience for the toxic online play I've experienced over the years on mut (spam cheese plays,nasty messages etc) so I play Solo battles on legendary mainly for fun. Usually in the top 5 for SB score each week if I have the time, but that's not saying much.

Same here but I'm closing in on 60 years old and I just can't deal with the toxic h2h games.

When I first started playing MUT (18 months ago) i really only played solo battles and challenges.  Once I built up a team and got more familiar with gameplay mechanics I started playing h2h and that is the mode i enjoy playing the most now.

I only play solo battles now to get the comp pass rewards.  I am about to play my 35th and I am very happy every two weeks when that grind is over.  I play them in the background, i.e. I let the CPU play defense and do something else and then come back to game.  on offense I use solo battles to lab plays.  or to try out new cards to see how they play. most of the time i just che

i liken playing solo battles to eating your vegetables...you may not always like it but its "good for you"...it makes getting to 300 pts on the CP infinitely easier and I don't always have time every week to play a lot of h2h or champs.

at this point in my evolution as a madden player i find playing solos a braindead activity.  I do think its a helpful mode for players just starting out.

Solo Battles and Challenges are the only thing I do

Before this year I rarely played H2H. But with the comp pass having season XP, I do get my 15 champs wins each week now to get me the extra CP. I use solo battles to get my stats but it gets super boring. I whole heartedly agree that champs gets old fast too though because every opponent spams the same ebook offense with no creativity, and if you know how to stop that, they have no answer and usually quit. It does get very toxic but unfortunately that will always be a thing as long as the internet exists, as some of these dudes seem like Madden wins are their sole purpose in life. EA needs to have it back to where weekend league was a thing, with actual better rewards, and then maybe it wouldnt be so toxic towards casual gamers just looking to level up and enjoy their teams.

I hardly play Solo battles. I do have a buddy and that’s alllll he plays. Doesn’t go vs online against people and their God squads and doesn’t sweat or get pissed, he just gets drunk af and puts up 150 points against the computer haha

Solos have become more chore like and tedious. Simply not worth the time and energy to obtain a bnd card worth a fraction of it's non bnd counterpart. I can't stand solos.

I do. I bought 1 month of XBOX live to play H2H, played one game (and won) and lost interest. Played all the solo battles and challenges and haven't had the urge to re-up. Seems like the majority of H2H players are "cheezers?" and glitch exploiters.

ETA: In solos, I still cannot understand how the 88 cpu team can even compete with my mostly 98-99 team on MVP or whatever difficulty All Madden/Competetive is. 

i.e. 99 BTK rb is casually tackled by a 91 TKL safety while my Pao-Malo hit stick tackle mildly annoyed 88 ovr Bo Jackson.
