This May Be My Last MUT

I'm tired of getting killed by coinflips and not because I was outschemed. I'm tired of having to study the cheat plays instead of studying the equivalent of NFL game film. I'm tired of quarterbacks scrambling for decades in the backfield without ever having pursuit reach them, only to throw a slow-motion dart to a receiver fifty yards away without a defender in the same stadium. I'm tired of spending hours in the Auction House and yet still being 60 million coins behind guys with 87 OVR lineups. I'm tired of trying to get away from the nonsense by playing Solos only to find them monotonous, and after all that, to pull items that don't justify the time spent.

I like MUT in principle, but I hate the experience. It takes and takes, but it never gives back. Only cheaters win, and only thirty-year old children have a prayer in this environment. It's not a game, it's a way of life, and I just don't know how much longer I can fool myself into thinking that this is OK. Even if I'm better than the majority of my opponents, I will end up getting curbstomped by some know-nothing-about-football glitcher many games before I could earn anything of value. I either have to care and be angered by the environment, or I have to not care, and then wonder how I can spend hours of my life doing something I don't care about. Because there's too much to care about.

EA, fix this, or it will be my last MUT. This year started out promising, but we're accelerating toward the point where cheaters will dominate.

I pray the game is the exact same not because it’s good but just so your constant crying is finally gone. It has to be tiring bitching that a virtual game isn't a perfect representation of real life and there are still game like aspects to it. If you spent half the time you spent crying about sucking learning how to play the game you’d have more belts then Henry by now😭

Thank you for your insights. Everyone is clear about how you feel about your fellow user.

Just ignore him man. Responses are how threads get locked.. it’s an Internet forum. Everyone has the right to vent. If you don’t agree with the topic or if you aren’t a fan of Phantelors (sp) topics, move on to the next thread. It’s not that hard.

Seems I struck a nerve if you had brain cells you would have seen I said the game wasn't good at all it's in a terrible place, but not as bad as it has been. And no I have an 18 play scheme out of saints offense with plays for every possible situation and defense. The game has many issues but at some point you have to take it for what it is or move on, this constant bitching has to be raising your blood pressure unc.

hopefully they patch some stuff. you seem like a good opponent to enjoy a game against.

ive been gone since 23  so once i get this throwing timing down, and learn situation football plays in my book ill be good.

gotten a better hang of defense.  losing to some fluke stuff even in a game is definetly infuriating 

ive never lost so many games and have yet to win a superbowl

the expolits in this game could be worse but it's not deterioting my experience,

i don't like the rewards being garbage, don't like the lack of objectivity in the game and that's why i'm screaming for MUT Master  i'm already max level in most of my field pass stuff and after weeks and weeks there's just constant boring content circulating the game. i had to go back to CFB again it too has it content problems but that's not the point, i missed the days where content had creativity and it was journey to be finished and you didn't care how  long. this new format sucks moose feet.

I really didn't think that when I saw AKA Iconoclash last year, that would be some kind of model for the game to come.

i never like that either, nor gave it the time. but it's the same direction they are heading with. i wish they found a balance of guys who want to do challenges but also play h2h at the same time and stop treating "solo champions" like solo battles.

i like solo scenario challenges

instead of solo full game/half game challenges

The Solo Games are such a miss. They could be fun if they were the old Fantasy games, with players that disappeared, teams that cheated with extra downs and altered goal posts on field goal attempts, kickers that could clear the crossbar kicking from the opposite endzone, and so forth.

it's not a great game if you don't like building coins.  it's not the best gameplay mode or game for sure.  mlb the show is way more fun for me as gameplay but i enjoy the binder part of this as a game.  i think gameplay was better before they introduced abilities.  actually, for me, the game became "bad" when they introduced the series X version.  the old gen gameplay for me was way better.
