Once again...a reminder to EA...ban or penalize constant hurry ups

I agree, but I think there are more pressing issues in the game to make it less arcade-like and more sim. For starters, let's implement the limit of calling the same play. 99% of my games I'm facing the same 1 or 2 plays on offense or defense, most of which are found on YouTube because they break the CPU somehow.

Actually, I think people should be able to call the same play as many times as they would like. And I think the opposing team's AI should get an escalating recognition boost for each instance that it sees the same thing. By the third or fourth time the same play is called in a single game, man-cover defenders should be glued to route runners, zone coverage should shade more effectively, run defenses should shed more quickly, and for crying out loud!, safeties should not be biting on play action fakes. On the other side of the ball, receivers should be finding the seams in zone coverage, tackles should more effectively pick up edge rushers, and interior linemen should be picking up A- and B-gap blitzers consistently.

I hate workarounds that shield a programming team from fixing actual problems, and cool-downs or hard caps on the number of times a play is called is an acknowledgment that the play is broken and the response mechanics require attention.

I'll take the bait...running no-huddle is 100% a viable strategy in the NFL and players do not get tired any quicker than huddling.  Peyton Manning and others used to run this type of offense ALL the time.  He was still using the whole play clock to call the play at the line, he just wouldn't huddle so the defense couldn't make adjustments/subs.  I'll do the same thing in Madden.  If I'm in a play/formation that is going to destroy mid-blitz, and they are in mid-blitz, I'm going no-huddle until I score or they call time-out.

How many times would Peyton Manning, with the Colts or the Broncos, do that in a game of about 70 offensive snaps? I'm not looking for an exact stat, but just a rough figure.

When he was with the Broncos, I would say about 30+ snaps.  

Now, I'm not defending the people who did this as an attempt to glitch out the coding.  I only run hurry-up about once every 5 games, so it's not part of my scheme.  Also, I typically run zone and base align so the people who try to run this as well as flipping their plays have very little effect on my defense.

I'm sorry, but who doesn't No Huddle to glitch the coding? Seriously, these people aren't Peyton Manning. They don't know jack about football. But they know that if they quick snap (which is not what you described Manning doing), the defense can't cover everything when there's only a fraction of the time needed to make the various adjustments to deal with the abundant variations of offensive cheese. And the defensive linemen get so gassed that they can't provide effective pursuit against relentless stretch plays and rollouts.

There is a legitimate place for No Huddle in football and in Madden. What you said you are doing is not what 95% of No Huddle spammers are doing.

You don't know anything about what's to come, stop it. The problem isn't the play, it's running no huddle and not being punished for it which is bullshit.

It’s a videogame. Do you really expect it to be realistic? You guys that complain about everything are insane. Go look up the definition of insane

This is a forum. People are here to complain.

Go out and get back to glitching, I mean, playing the game the way it was made to be played.

dont think its as annoying as MID BLITZ EVERY FRICKING PLAY

Mid blitz is easy to counter now...use identifier, have 2 RBs and throw a quick slant away from the user

Just call a timeout?

Im not gonna bother copying and pasting what i said earlier in the thread, to sum it up, yes you DO fatigue faster running hurry up. Youre confusing "no huddle" offenses I think, with hurry up. The thing in madden is hurry up. As in, when a guy catches a forty yard bomb, the whole team sprints down the field and immediately rushes to the line and snaps as quickly as possible. In fact, in madden its also unrealistic how quickly they all make it forty yards down the field and lined up and ready to go, even outside of the fatigue issue. 🤷

I like cfb 25 hurry up mechanic, the players have to physically run down the field back to the LOS instead of just magically appearing after a 15 sec runoff. If only Madden could copy how cfb 25 does clock management

Exactly, not to mention there is a very increased risk of false start or a lineman lining up in the wrong spot
