i had no idea we'd be getting a Week 4, now i feel foolish that i wasted my token on a second copy of whatever card was most expensive last week. What's the reward for Week 4 flawless House Rules run? Been a busy week for me, haven't really kept pace with the content and what little playing time i've had is typically devoted to trying to catch a few games of Squads with the boyz, so haven't yet embarked upon another flawless run, but i have no doubts my experience will be exactly the same as your own.
What flavor of cheese you dealing with lately? I expect the usual ~18 Vanguards, plus RPO, plus whatever other madness. Thankfully, most of these brain dead chumps are straight up one-play pussies. If we can figure out how to take that away from them, there's no Plan B.

I'm just done trying to learn how to play football like it's a completely different sport than it is. I'm tired of having to say "up" to get down, and all the other "nuance" the engine asks of me that is merely a subtle way of cheating.
I'm also sick of the segment of community that justifies and excuses this. EA made a weak game full of exploits. The players are the ones exploiting. I hate the game. And the gamer.
It’s june
people don’t care about wins or losses much anymore

Wish I was one of them. I can't stand that Everytime I lock down someone on defense, they come out on 4th and 30 and double pass while getting sacked 70 yards down field. It's usually not even a oop QB like lamar

Fair enough, very much respect where you are coming from. I make a point to regularly point out with our little squads trio that we are NOT playing the same game as most of these brain-dead twats. They're playing "Madden" whereas i was actually dumb enough to think i was signing up for a modern, simulation fatball experience. Clearly these are not the same.
In actual football, you'd punt on 4th and 27, especially from your own end of the field. In Madden, dipshits will run a inside zone on 4th and a mile, only to have enough Vanguards show up to decimate the Tampa 2 i was probably running at the time. Okay, got me good.
Managed to squeak out a close one last night, where we had to not only defeat an inferior opponent, but also had the EA gods doing everything in their power (shy of actual DDA) to ensure we dropped that one. Those are the sweetest victories, yet somehow still oh SO very frustrating.
I wish i were smart enough to simply retire from the madness, this shit clearly is not going to get any better. With the most meaningful updates to M26 appearing to be a copy/paste of CFB and some "impactful" weather... i think we all know the routine by now. Brief hype cycle, followed immediately by being slapped in our faces by EA's usual nonsense. DON'T THINK, JUST CONSUME. BUY MORE PACKS.
Uggh.
