The Sweatiest Win

I agree that I am disadvantaged. The problem is that the community didn't choose to live with disadvantage. Many have gone completely Dark Side on this. Others return toxicity with toxicity. But it's hard to be good at toxic unless you practice toxic. Where should anyone draw the line?

I hold EA solely responsible for breaking functional mechanics and introducing new mechanics that were broken out of the gate. It doesn't mean the users have to choose to exploit. The problem is that they do. Some quit altogether because the users are so toxic in the way they play.

Seeing people justify toxicity because being toxic is essential to winning has to be the daftest argument I've seen explicitly made anywhere ever. And there was a time people would be publicly shamed for this. But apparently this community is this far gone that they wink at it, and accept cheating as a necessary response to cheating.

i can respect that

They may have been people of integrity once, but they let themselves be corrupted. I prefer to be a bulwark against that nonsense.

Lmao facts I payed someone that ran that the entire game then got mad that I went into cover 2 to stop it 😂  messaged me and said I spammed cover 2 all game. 

What was even funnier is he left the flats wide open so I kept checking it to the RB and he got mad about that it’s honestly hilarious, said I kept taking the check down when I told him yea that’s how you play football he said it isn’t the Super Bowl throw it deep 😂 

Really thought I’d just throw it right to his defenders he also scum kicked the entire game it’s sad what these YouTubers have done to madden.

Your posts don’t confront anything. My wins are legitimate because I learn from my mistakes and get better everyday. The quicker you realize that we are playing a video game the quicker you will become better at this game. You obviously like this game enough to continue playing it, how about you stop complaining like a child and put your big boy pants on and learn how to beat whatever you’re so mad about. Nothing you say on this site will change anything about the game. I’m not saying it’s right but that’s reality. Stop being so negative and just play the game or find a different one.

You're wasting your time trying to explain this to him. He's been complaining about glitches for the past few years. Just let miserable people be miserable.

Incessant Mid-Blitzes, and he'd back off them when I burned him, but it was always his most effective defense. It was a five-possession game, barring his final failed kick return attempt with four seconds left after I went up 15-14 on a two-point conversion (he went 1-2 on his attempts).

I was never going to stop him on offense. Just stupid physics-defying nonsense with the speed boost. My W simply came down to not getting terrible RNG on top of all the glitchy offensive line penetrations he got even when I was having to keep six and seven in to block. Not that I didn't get bad RNG, but I never got it two plays in a row.

All of this just to get to 4-2 on the Event. My opponent was absolute trash when it came to strategy and tactics, but he knew the glitches. It just shouldn't be so hard to get a win when the opponent's best ability is being Usain Bolt. But there are people out there that think this is OK. Just makes me shake my head. Life is easy when you're a cheater, but every once-in-a-while, the cheaters get what they deserve. If only an L Without Honor cost a soul more than a simple L.

I’m not sure you understand glitches and RNG, seems like you use them as a coping mechanism when people are better than you. Maybe you should explain what glitches your experiencing so people can understand what you mean. I’ve only seen one true glitch in this game and that’s the DT disengage. 

Mid blitz and sending 6-7 rushers against 5 blockers isn’t a glitch.

You’re delusional. Who’s cheating? Running specific plays, using certain blitzes, scum kicking, blocking kicks and speed boosting is not cheating. You’re literally just making stuff up in your head. Please tell me how any of that is cheating. 

You’re acting like people are using a formation with 12 players on the field. We’re playing a video game in 2026. I honestly think things could be worse.

do you have anything better to do than argue with randos damn your life must be depressing

I just call it how I see it. If you have something to say, say it. If not move along kid.

Jesus. If this is how you whine when you win, I'd hate to see you lose.

all ima say is if you cant beat em (ik u just did but thats besides the point), join em

you are putting yourself at a disadvantage by not capitalizing on how badly this game is made

This man had a stretch of 69-6 and 8 sbs, gives great advice. Listen to this guy

I think he said it very well. You have this need to defend the cheaters. Just let people vent about their experiences. Why do you care so much? Clearly you cheat and get offended. 🙄

Just say you enjoy arguing, nobody will be mad bud

I can appreciate an off meta player. They are few and far between. When I see an off meta guy I like to return the favor. 

Idk if EA realizes there errors and how they create so many problems for us. 

Justifying toxicity with toxicity has to sure ruined at least 50% of online gameplay experiences. Thats probably low balling

Droblunts has to be an EA employee

They're by far the most loyal defender of EA whenever someone criticizes maddens horrible gameplay

You have this need to call people cheaters for playing the game strategically to win. Clearly you get beat a lot by “cheaters” and get offended.
