Now that stiff arm is nerfed to nothing…

Stiff arm has been nerfed out of the game. What are the changes in this game from CFB25? Now it feels the exact same

While I don't excessively use it, I still have success.

The people who will complain the most are the ones who try to spam it.

I’m not complaining. But it was one of the few differences this year

I would say this game has an entirely different feel but not really in a good way, still too clunky.

They need to get these pre snap adjustments to work, and less silly delay of games.

It has an absolutely different feel to me and still holding out hope as some things do have promise

Stiff arm was broken, glad they fixed it. It’s not nerfed, it’s just not OP

Did this just happen? I was playing about 12 hours ago and it was still very very strong, with guys like Gronk and Hardy (Hardy did have arm bar) being able to stiff arm atleast 2 guys on most plays, and pretty much everyone else including Carson beck being good for atleast 1. Hell, I stiff armed a defensive lineman with my kicker on a fake PAT attempt. 

People have adapted somewhat by everyone going for cut sticks more frequently which in my opinion is better and more of what you see in real life especially from defensive backs. I’ve always disliked how common those massive head up hit sticks are when you see maybe 1 a game in real life but you would see atleast 1 a drive when playing. Makes them actually feel rewarding and promotes smart tackling decisions based on what defensive player you’re using and which offensive player you are trying to tackle.

Lol I love that fake field goal, also stiff armed with the kicker. Yeah and hurdling was sick.

Stiff arm feels useless again imo. Game feels exactly the same as last year now.

Wasn’t necessarily a fan of the broken stiff arm, but it made gameplay atleast new.

It got nerfed what are you talking about 😂. Yeah the only downside to that is now the gameplay is more like 25s

defense got progressively worse, and abilities are not only expensive but unuseable. this is a tug-of-war simulator.

The abilities being expensive is a good thing. Can’t just load up on the cheaper ones that have the best value for impact ratio. You actually have to strategize what you need most

strategy- a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim.

this is ultimate team not limited team.

i don't mind the aftershocks and battling ram being out the game, but when majorly of the abilities favor the offensive side of the ball it's grab the fastest player that comes out and send the house. and pray you get stops.

Bro took the gamemode title way out of context. The mode was not built for grabbing best available players. It’s built for grabbing favorite players and using them. That’s what it was made for 10+ years ago on FIFA. It’s just evolved into a “some cards are just better” type gamemode. So your point isn’t valid. Do your research and get back to me. Damn I miss the OG ultimate team on madden

dude my favorite players are the team on your far  left profile pic, ohio state (natty champs), maryland, and gerogia tech. EA follows what gives them money, they don't work on counters and consistencies of the game unless it effects their bottom dollar, ironic that you gave me another game that EA ruin their licensing for cause they want "creative freedom" and ended up making the same patched-up game like all the others. 

i played og madden; it was the same then as it was now, standalone  db's play braindead, the rushers are at the mercy of running backs and quarterbacks and the safeties jolt away from the receiver every time the ball is thrown.

Lmao it did not get nerfed one iota. I still get stiff armed to hell and back every play
