Well, When People Cheat, and They Get RNG

There's no stopping them.

How is it that you folks cope with this crap in head-to-head when almost zero games played have any resemblance to football, and don't truly involve skills beyond executing the exploits themselves?

Getting the Freight Train treatment today repeatedly at every clutch moment, regardless of scheme. When random chance says your opponents win eight times out of ten, why does anyone even imagine they're clever? Or even mediocre?

Careful-

You’re speaking too truthfully 

It’s why I say I believe NOBODY is actually good at this game, myself included. When you press a button that button is supposed to respond accordingly. When it does not, what goes into deciding that happens? Why or what decides my opponents players had the best rest and continental breakfast at the hotel pre game but every single one of my players seem like they all were on a team binder the night before, and all simultaneously had their wives and gfs leave them? The answer isn’t logic it isn’t football- it’s money.

You do understand the difference between DDA and RNG, right? I'm not getting into the DDA weeds here. I'm simply saying that when your opponent cheats and they get the rolls, it's impossible to win.

Exactly i got a good number of games in compared to the few i get after work or something. 

The amount of glitches or just flat out terrible plays made by my ai defenders was jarring. Catches in traffic right in between 2 of my 99 ovr defenders with KO’s in the zones. QB roll outs where the guy rolled out, had my chasing defender right in front of his face, and still the qb managed set his feet, load up a cross body fifty yard bomb and hit a guy ON THE OPPOSITE SIDELINE who finally came free after everyone else was already down field. All that with multiple lineman flying right at him with 1 not 2 yards away from him. 

A handful of plays like that

And I’m saying what exactly goes into those rolls? What decides that 8/10 you stated?

I can handle the “cheats” it’s the DDA I can’t overcome. That’s simply EA “keeping me engaged” when getting my ass cheated clean off is exactly what I define as “engaging”. 

The “cheats” have always been there and always will be. That’s a skill issue imo

Absolute facts. The games in a bad state and likely will spiral as the corporate cash grabs continues. Ive beaten Top 100 dudes one game and will lose to an Ask Madden Bot the next. Most inconsistent gameplay possible. They 100% have "tuners" for gameplay. I'd like somebody to even try and speak to the "speed differential" once INT occur when OL are clearly running as fast to hawk down 99 Speed Players. Anyone with half a brain can stop and think for one second.. That if it happens without fail that OL will get a boost once INT happen to balance pick 6 every turnover with speed boosting. It's clear and evident that they have implentations that affect gameplay reguardless of the 1000x conversations about RNG & DDA. Humans are very good a pattern recognigiton. If we all have been playing the same damn game all year, you feel how the shift of mometum can occur without fail. Even, predict it.

I got 'speed-differentialed' earlier today. It's not realistic to have the fastest players run at the same speed every play. It's also not realistic to have players with a head of steam and a jump off the line making a pick, and being tracked down by a player with 120% of the distance to cover and the same base speed.

The random is too random, and it kills the experience. If my opponents dropped as many picks, or dropped as many passes as my players did, I'd feel differently.

And just as I'm stumbling onto some patterns with one-read attempts and drop depths, I am absolutely befuddling a guy who is clearly calling nothing but cheat plays.

And then he blows me up with a double pass where every player on defense bites.

Idiotic. Every lover of football deserves better than this game and these toxic players.

Not only do I agree with your points...this was hilarious.  Well done.

🫡    Lol

Made it to the penultimate game. RNG'd for the loss.

I faced so many cheaters, but hit a stride where I could do whatever I wanted on offense, and they couldn't keep up. But not one of these was a "football" game when my opponent had possession.

Then, I just had a blah game, where no one would break tackles or get loose on routes, or even move for that matter. Threw a pick on 4th down at the goal line, and that was the end.
