Spamming 1 play

Shouldn’t be a thing only people ive lost to in the Super Bowl run just spam 1 or 2 at most plays . the game should not even allow the same play to be ran the entire game with no penalty it’s not even football it’s exploit the glitch sad

feels like 4/5 players online just run the loop blitz on defense alternating between a cover 3 or 4 shell. so annoying having to block 6 for a chance to stop 4 rushers or limit your route concepts to whatever play action plays your playbook has. running from certain formations has become limited with all the discounted inside stuffs too the spenders are running. such stale game play

Defense is alot more acceptable to "spam" the same plays than offense. There are infinite combinations of offensive plays and only a few on defense. Add in this year especially, how defense just doesnt exist, i dont blame people for using the same couple that MIGHT work over and over.

Having said that, its all EAs fault for in this modern time when people are catching rockets out of the air and can transplant nearly any organ as routinely as people were able to fill a cavity back in the day, cant be BOTHERED to program BASIC ai logic for non usered players.

I think there should be diminishing returns from running the same play over and over.

Call it more then 2 times in a row, your players lose 50% stats, and keep dropping it from there. 

I mean there isn't almost anything realistic about madden anyway so why not add some variety.

Diminish stats because YOU struggle ?? That sounds completely outlandish. Yikes

I understand the same coverage shells, but people only use this blitz’s because it’s broken. Forces you to play one way which leads to pretty much calling the same 2/4 route concepts on offense.

The noob defensive individual adjustors dont care about the formations.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I like it more if someone only runs one play, I find it more rewarding when you stop it. At the end of the day it's a game and I don't take it too serious.

Not my first message related to this and sadly not last but could there be a game mode which takes out plays after used ones (or twice) and no hot routes. You can only audible to different play. Hurry up offence banned unless losing position at 4th qtr.

Pretty basic sim league rules where playing is 99% enjoyable.

People are just crazy. They play because they either want more coins and/or can’t accept defeat and when they have even more coins they start the cycle again. This is a video game which should be fun and goal should be playing with others, not grabbing some virtual coins and virtual player cards.

Yeah the whole “adaptive AI” thing just doesn’t work. Lost a SB last night cuz of it. weather I played hard flats or man or whatever there was no stopping him

No ELO doesn't mean a thing if the RNG bug keeps biting and won't throw you a bone once in a while.

The most one-dimensional users succeed again and again between broken plays and counters that work only sometimes, but that give up big yards to other broken plays. Coupled with cheap defensive schemes that work far too well far too often and again leave you reliant on catch-in-traffic and knock-out algorithms, there's no safe space for legitimate football play.

Stop. Nobody is struggling, the game is a piece of shit and you shouldn't be able to run the same play 50 times in a row and get away with it.

Not even sure how they could program the adaptive AI to help because people that play this way know what adjustments you will make to stop a certain route combo and have labbed out another cheesy combo to counter the adjustments.

They are running one play but not really.

Go to practice mode and put your team in these coverages and play around with route combos I did and I figured out the middle is always open on a cover 4 right behind the middle linebacker all the way up the side sometimes to a td only other ways I could move the ball were run plays and whips post and slants also check downs are broken this year 99.9 percent of the time its a catch with no knockouts even with knockouts they still come down with the ball I’ve realized note I don’t play zone because I refuse to let the game play for me and have everyone just sitting standing waiting for the ball in Man U have to be a lot more active with the user and actually use your brain power to stop something not just get a stop because it’s coded that way or u get bailed out by a zone ko that’s what kos are are get out of jail free cards how many of yall have lost a game simply because of a ko or left because anytime your receiver gets touched it’s dropped I think if the nfl was like that irl we wouldn’t watch it players get paid millions to hold onto a ball but in a game based around these real players they just drop it like they could care less ea for the love of your fan base and god lower the ko rates to a 30-70 percent 30 percent it could be knocked out 70 percent we can actually catch the ball only people who throwing dots got all the best wrs in the game shi give me those cards and watch what I do kos are what ruined madden
