Abilities Have Ruined Madden

I get the idea of abilities is to help close the skill gap between players, and to make the game more "arcadey", but it's made the game less enjoyable for me. You can completely wipe out an opponents run game by putting Inside Stuff/No Outsiders on all of your lineman or a player can get hit 3 times on the same play and still be running forward. Also, it ruins the market value of players as evidenced by the new combine players, so if you want to be able to field a competitive team, you have to invest into every new promo. 

And on a side note, a lot of the game mechanics are broken. Players reacting to a route by completely abandoning their zone, defenders backing off from a tackle once someone engages with the ball carrier, etc.

On top of this, it seems like EA doesn't really care about the people playing the game. Their reaction to the "95+" pack combined with the mess up with ranked rewards (still haven't gotten Brents) has really put me off from wanting to play.

secure/run protector counters inside stuff and no outsiders. secure tackler, tackle supreme, and enforcer supreme help with tackling freight train and angry runs. 

its always been like that. new,better cards come out almost every day and week

I do agree here, deion broke down but let the WR run straight passed him to the 2 on a jet touch pass.

I'm glad I didn't put time into ranked bc I'd be pissed too. 

I get ur struggles, most people are dealing with them too. but abilities counter abilities.
