If My Success in MUT Wasn't Directly Analogous to Winning...

...I wouldn't be so frustrated when I outplay my opponent by a tremendous margin, but lose on cheesy, unfortunate junk. My last opponent was junk as a user, but when defense is trash against scrambling quarterbacks and I get a pick, having his offense force a fumble and recover it in a game that comes down to the final possession is simply inappropriate.

MUT isn't Chess, but in practice it looks more like Poker. The guy across from you can be an idiot, but if he knows the rules and is dealt a royal flush, he's probably winning the hand, and I'll be on mut.gg shortly thereafter writing posts about it.

I certainly understand the frustration with this game.  However, not sure if you "lose on cheesy, unfortunate junk" that makes your opponent "junk as a user"  and likely not "an idiot".  My take (I know zero about coding or how Madden sets things up) is...when the breaks are all going against me it is just EA's way of saying I'm great and trying to balance the scale (EA would be wrong as I'm actually really bad) and when the breaks go my way it is EA's way of saying I'm over matched (they would be right on this on).  I get frustrated with EA's thumb on the scale often, but...unless my opponent has some amazing computer hacking skills...it ain't my opponent's fault EA did what they did. But again...I get it.

While I believe DDA exists in principle, I believe its effects are randomly applied, so I accept the latter part of your comments. About the "junk as a user" comment, either your opponent puts their user in the right place, or they're spastic and not able to effectively do anything at that level, and either they're throwing to open players, or they're making dangerous throws that deserve to be picked off. Still, there are ten other guys that sometimes pick up the slack by falling on fumbles that are highly improbable under the circumstances, and there's always the chance that my quarterback is going to grossly overthrow guys that are wide, wide open.

Anyone that frequently browses this forum is already forced to read your consistently negative whining and complaining.  Since we can't hide/ignore your presence here, could you at least keep your ranting and raving to only 1 of your produced threads?  Thank you kindly.
