Abilities have completely ruined this game

I stopped playing when x factors and abilities became a thing cos i didn't like the cartoonish aspect of it within a 'SIM' game. But got the itch so thought I'd try MUT again to see if I want to play from the start of the game next year. But man, this is straight trash. Little stars lighting up all over the place and over powered abilities making it impossible to do anything. No user skill, no realism at all, how they market this as a 'SIM' game is beyond me. At least in CFB the abilities seem far less impactful on the gameplay. Defiantely wont be playing this game next year.

Do you disagree?

I personally believe abilities can be fine for the game if done correctly. X-factors as abilities...now that is another story.

It's just a money grab in my opinion. How else are they going to sell bundles without introducing better abilities down the road? They have been recycling the same players over and over this year.

Thank god for this TTS promo though. It gives everyone the chance to grind for surge. Evens the playing field a bit.

How many times are we gonna get the same thread? I see this nearly everyday.

I have opinions of this first I don't believe they are actually not playing next year or even this year  , The people who really stop playing just stop they don't make an declaration . Also I think its disingenuous   ,  If you have played you know this time of the year  it is always like this .   Lastly  , rarely is anyone having prelit X factors which the OP of this whole thread said he is seeing , If someone is playing  with pre lit X factors there using Combine and SB cards that came out 3 months ago .

Thanks for your opinion. I don’t really care if you believe whether I have played or not, but I haven’t. When I say lighting up I mean the little symbol underneath flashing when it triggers, not pre lit. Re read my post. I didn’t say pre lit but have fun up on your high horse. 

Since stopping playing a few years back I’ve been playing EAFC/Fifa but bored so got the itch to play madden again. Hence giving it a go to see how it is. Second point. No actually I don’t know how it is this time of year as I haven’t played this time of year since abilities came out, as I said. Guess I was looking for some sensible counters but as usual the only response you get on these forums is the type of response you give.

But cheers.

If you didn't care there would not be a response.

I never said I didn't care . Also for someone who doesn't play Madden you stay on the MUT forums a lot  ,  I don't watch cricket  but I also have never been on a Forum about it  and have never checked the scores . hypothetically  if I did give it a chance and hated it I would not then go on the forums and announce to people who don't know me that I'm not  gonna watch it again .

the thing with all the free abilities now is they actually cancel eachother out so its like playing with zero abilities again.

Good day 

 I’ve heard this before and the fact that EA    Knows about these things without telling the community just proves once again how much incorrect information is being put out there as they’re advertising cards in the game. I almost feel like it’s false advertisement in someway 

I had a thread the other day where I don’t know where it went, but I was talking about how the stats really don’t matter when they should you’ve achieved the 99 threshold which is  supposed to be the highest point in the game yet your wide receiver will still continue to drop the ball which then somebody in the thread the  pointed out that they stats do not matter it’s all about what abilities are on the card which then begs the question why are they even advertising overalls all year when they actually don’t mean anything ? you could say the same thing with these abilities, once you have certain abilities, they  then cancel out other abilities.

 It just feels like the whole mode is one big head scratcher

I mean I clearly said I was trying it out again to see if I want to play it next year. Hence why I came on here. In the old days I used to be on Muthead and it was a good community. Seems times have changed.
