The end is near

Find my madden time is playing full squads exhibition with a buddy, duos but without the trash of the overpowered stuff. Have one or last h2h seasons in me than rerunning odyssey as I await shadows, than onto gta

Momentum Shift doesn’t shut down the Unstoppable X-Factor?

It does yes

You can always play the sub in, sub out game with your opponent, but if the game gets to that point, then it really is the end.

Agreed. I hated that about Aidan Hutchinson’s Momentum Shift last year.

Yea they’re going over board with the abilities to sell packs to people who struggle to move the ball organically. This prolly my last year playing madden and i’ll be on college football next year. Although it has its own bugs, abilities aren’t as overpowering and no xfactors. Plus majority of the content is just current/former NFL players anyways.

Moving the ball organically is extremely difficult because EA refuses to fix their trash game.  The internet ruined the strategy and need to learn the game. 

Most people run meta defense or offense featuring unblockable blitzes. The only way to counteract this is with an O-line loaded with abilities or crazy pre-snap adjustments. 

EA in turn markets cards with ridiculous abilities rather than making a good football game where smart plays and strategies are implemented.

Can't stop the pass? Here's zone and man knockouts

Can't run? Here's freight train and angry runs

Can't user defense? Here's pick artist

Every year it's the same shit. X factors and abilities ruin the game. The game is already bad but the x factors and abilities make it worse.

Honestly defense was non existent before we got pick artist and 3ap mid zones. I felt the game played best during most feared. I know EA designs both games but I’d much rather play the one that doesn’t have film study, omaha, universal coverage, angry runs, double me, etc.

It’s about that time to hang up the digital cleats for 25. 

Marcus Allen is dumb, and Marcus Allen will only be the beginning.

I have now played 3 games with him and have yet to see a third down. Double team an inside stuff, and just snap the ball. I haven’t had to attempt a pass.  Buy Marcus, have two thumbs, win  

EA did well (as well as they could) keeping the game balanced during ZC with 0 AP abilities everywhere, and even did so-so w/ the SB with the start on XFactors that were limited to a few plays (unless you were an MGJ savage). This is going to turn into the combine promo where it’s all glowing dudes everywhere. 

If defense logic wasn’t bad enough, now this. 

Will be counting down the days til MLB, Elden Ring and GTA. This game is about toast.

When is GTA 6 coming out?

MLB the Show is a month out... the last UT mode where they seem to listen. Although last year was a dumpster fire for 2/3 of the year, they seem to have walked it back.

i was really late to the party discovering these X-factor players and how much grief potential they have.  Just when i thought 2AP Unstoppable Freight Train on Emmitt Smith was a bit too far, now we're potentially going to have to deal with an always-on Angry Runs, which works in run and pass game, as well as on special teams.  My goodness, this is going to be Quadfather level nasty, eh?

Late last night once i finally discovered this, i had to overpay to secure my green Marcus Allen.  Haven't tried him (yet), but hoping to take some boyz to poundtown later this evening... i need to quit this job, it's holding me back from my budding MUT career.

If i was smart, next time i had the urge to splurge on some overpriced cards for the virtual gridiron, i'd put forty towards Shadow of the Erdtree and never look back.  You going to try Nightreign?  I heard some folks recently got early access, but not sure if the fast paced nature of that game is for me.

I am going to try Night Rein 100%!

I am lucky to have a network test code and excited to try it out Friday

WOOHOO, enjoy man!  Please let me know your initial impressions... you have a crew you run with or how do you intend to attack that game?  I need to retire from MUT, i keep promising myself that Shadow of the Erdtree is my way out of this current mess i'm faced with, but addictions die hard.  Oof.

Was just watching Vaati's NightReign video this mr0ning describing his experiences with the Network Test.
