The people I hate that stay are the ones who don't try anything different.... if I'm outmatched I will try completely different things a few times and then quit when I'm clearly outmatched.

throw enough picks you'll learn what works and what doesn't

Skills trainer every year since madden 17 for those gold packs and trial and error in h2h.

I like to think I'm tough to go against Venetia I'm not running ebooks or YouTube plays out there.  I do incorporate what my opponents beat me with into my own game so I have s variety of skills at my disposal. 

Biggest skill gap is being able to make so many adjustments on the fly and have it result in a different look every down to keep your opponent on their toes.

Stacking of the same ability does nothing. Only need one.

I agree if they coded the game to recognize the same play being called every down especially when I stop it 3 out of 4 times cool down would be unnecessary. I doubt that happens though lol. I’m thinking along the lines of how they do house rules, or  I’d also like to see if they could implement something to where when a  Play is being spammed and gets shut down once you can’t pick that play either for the rest of the game or for like 10-15 plays.  I’m so tired of everybody running the same meta shit when you can be successful with running multiple plays out of multiple formations…you know like real football is played.

I'd love a H2H with no abilities. But it would be great if they were to regularly update MUT draft again.

I'm actually coming out in this default Dbl Safety Go formation and then immediately audibling over to my desired play, such as the FS Zone Blitz, or DB Fire 2, perhaps even Cover 4 Quarters, because we can't blitz on every single down.  This is a tremendous help in my experience.

I feel ya on the undecided future.  I bought a second (Digital Edition) PS5 console late last summer, once i figured out that the versions of the game had been fully split between last generation and current consoles, uggh.  For how much i've pissed away on this darn game, i could have a brand new OLED television in my bedroom.  Things aren't getting any better, i'm not convinced EA is capable of improving the state of the game, they prioritize all the wrong things (greed over gameplay).  Truly unfortunate, but nothing can or will change until that exclusive NFL license expires in May 2026.  If EA renews or extends that, uggh we're all doomed.

I wouldn't mind abilities and xfactors so much if there weren't so many on the field or if they appropriately costed. There's no way Bo's angry runs should be 1 ap for how impactful it is. A lot of the KOs should probably be more expensive as well for how much they alter the passing game

I guess what I'm trying to say is I wouldn't mind if we had a mode that was like the madden 20 era where you could only have 3 players with abilities. Well either that or a world where abilities/xfactors never get discounted. So you're stuck with the launch ap cap that practically enforces this. But I know that would never happen because it doesn't help EA sell packs.

I've just recently revamped my entire defense, have a nice, new (to me) HEAVY BOX out of Dollar, which was fantastic after my first full night of using and tinkering with it.  Seems to help offset the most glaring issues and weaknesses of Dollar, such as defending those TE streaks, or against the run, having both safeties walked up into the box is amazing.  I don't know why in the past i had only been doing this out of Dime and primarily for run defense, but Madden is often counter-intuitive, or so it seems.  Safeties almost NEVER get beat deep, even when they've been brought way down, so they're only 5+ yards off the line of scrimmage.

Gives me the ability to bring multiple types of pressure, either A-gap 5 man rush, a la FS Zone Blitz or the usual edge pressure, via DB Fire 2, sending both Slot corners, which typically will get home even if my opponent is doing the usual, sliding blocking protection right, keeping RB in to also block, etc.  I'm slowly improving.

It hasn´t been like this all year. I don´t think this is a bug, some asshole in the EA headquarters thought they had to up their package sales or something, i hope they realize soon this gonna drive people away from the game.
