Which H2H Mode Would You Choose?

Angry runs seems to be what causes the most frustration for most players. Some abilities are just too overpowered. 

 I think it’s absolutely insane that coins aren’t being awarded for opponents quitting in the first half. I actually sat out this year because I could see the direction MUT was going in 23 and I had the feeling it would only get worse in 24.

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.

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.

If it’s intentional I just can’t imagine buying another EA game ever again.

Yeah I agree, even in MUT23 when Quadfather dropped it was 1AP for his AKA Freight Train and 0AP for Persistent. After like 2-3 days EA realized it was way too powerful and they changed it to 2AP for the X-factor and 1AP for Persistent. 
 

It seems like they should‘ve done more to try to keep things balanced better this year.

The one not listed…H2H cool down seasons

Like how some of the house rules used to be? Where you could only run the same play a few times per quarter or whatever? That’s not a bad idea.

 I still think it would be great if the game could be coded so that the defense would recognize and react better/faster to a play that is called repeatedly.

Interesting results so far. 29 total votes and only 1 vote saying they would choose to play the game the way that H2H is setup now.

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

Agreed, I always enjoyed MUT Draft but they haven’t consistently updated it for years.

Would love salary cap to come back. So much more enjoyable and realistic.

Abilities are the only thing that matters, top end cards don't mean shit. Remove abilities, tweak some gameplay and the game would be 100% better. Abilities have ruined the game and instead of being a bonus, they are more of a crutch and you can't play without them and even if you do, you're at a huge disadvantage

Yup. You could run a 70 ovr gold at CB, aslong as he has DZKO you'll be good. I think they should just have 3 players on offense and defense that can have abilities.

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.

The current H2H mode makes it difficult for casual MUT players to keep up with big money spenders and constant grinders. Not having the top cards or the most dominant abilities can put you at a significant disadvantage that can be incredibly overwhelming and make the H2H mode completely unenjoyable.

What if there were multiple H2H modes to allow MUT players to play the way they want? (Yes I already know this is very unlikely as it doesn’t cater to EA’s greed plan)

I really enjoyed those ultra-short, Superbowl Run style game modes.  Possibly/probably because we could actually earn coins from grinding that and i could often crank out 2-3 Superbowl (4-game win streaks) victories in a single evening.  It was basically ALL i played during the lengthy period it was available.  This is one of the few times where EA's incompetence was a boon for the community, or at least me, personally.  Ending 02/15 HAAAA.  It lasted til what, liek almost March 15th?  A full month beyond their stated date to wind down.

So much wasted potential, what a disappointing, buggy ass mess this has become.

I agree with all of this. 95% of my offense is from coach suggestions. There are a few “go to” plays I will look for in certain situations or if I’m seeing specific coverages. I just can’t have fun running 3 or less plays the whole game.
