UT is ruined

it was ruined since day one this is electronic fucking arts we're talking about here. 

today i was playing the house rules and i called 2 man then show 3 so my corners dont press because pressing is always horrible for me and i knew what this guy was going to do which is throw up a prayer as it was 3rd and 34. so what does my right corner do? just completely ignore my audible to show 3 and continue to try to press, then proceed to not do a damn thing after the wr on a streak beats his press (93 press btw). this corner was the new davison igbinosun who supposedly has high motor and yet just completely gave up on the play. the wr was ian strong with 92 release. davison also has higher strength as well so it shouldnt be that he was just too weak and got bullied. strong has 93 cit and reed, who is my safety who hits him after the catch, has 90 hit power so i cant be too mad at the catch, which he shouldnt have gotten in the first place however if my corner would DO WHAT THE FUCK I ASKED HIM TO. anyways man heres video proof

and to anyone who comes across this whos been spending money on this shitty game, please stop. this company needs to be hit where it hurts which is their wallet and they need to either get their shit together or get the fuck on and someone else makes football video games and we boycott them. catering towards these players with no type of football iq just spamming streaks lobbing up prayers with significantly worse teams is unnerving, damning, disrespectful, etc. and ive had enough of this shit. this was the first football game ive bought from electronic fucking arts since madden 17 and for good reason and nothing has changed and im done for good now. will sell my team and coins off and get some type of reimbursement

Just got a chance to watch the clip.  Are you saying you called a Cover 3 shell over 2 Man?  After the snap the D is clearly playing 2 Man.  It is strange that the BCB didn't carry his man on the streak.  Also, the FCB is playing bail while the BCB is playing press.  I've never tried calling a 3 shell out of 2 Man so maybe it causes it to glitch if that's the case.

I just started playing H2H again since probably around Thanksgiving or so after I built my team up to a 94 straight down the board. What has been very frustrating is line play. I have a 96 at LE and RE, and a 97 and 95 at DT for my defensive line. So far over the past week or so, I’ve played close to 7 or 8 games, and I’ve only legitimately been able to get pressure with just my line on one team :/   One guys best offensive lineman was a 93 in a game I played the other night, and I couldn’t get pressure on him with my line for pretty much the whole game, and I ended up losing.

I don't know, feel my wins tend to be against players equal to and/or worse than me in terms of skill & football knowledge.  Someone that clearly has ball knowledge  (you can tell pretty quickly) and are better button pushers than I am at 50 yrs old, I typically lose to.  In those games I know I'm in for a fight.  I just try to stay within a score and hope they make a mistake.  I don't often feel like I'm losing to people worse or equal to me even if they're fielding 95+ god squads.  Just my experience.  

My one complaint is the switch stick.  I  wish it was disabled in H2H play.  I feel like it takes away a major part of the chess match in terms of exploiting matchups, decoying, baiting with motion, etc. that is such a key part of real football.  IMHO it would level the playing field better. 

Btw my team is a 92 almost all BND.  Take it FWIW.

Exactly my take. My NMS team is a 92 overall and an 89 team with a skilled user (switch stick and good at baiting) can be tough. Or a 95 overall played by someone with poor reads means an easy win even for someone with limited stick skills like myself. I can live with the switch stick since I don't care if I win or lose - just want to have fun and try to outsmart my opponent.

DDA has killed UT, not fun in the slightest anymore and before you all say anything about skill just don’t. 
 

Ever since Christmas the game has been ruined. I have spent soooo much money on this game and have a great team but it’s pointless I’m honestly on the verge of just not playing UT anymore, been playing road to the college football playoff and it’s so much more realistic and way less DDA. 

Dropped passes and dropped picks kill UT, other team always open on 4th down and like 26, mark it down as a first down. All UT is a joke. 
 

Not to mention the Will Howard I paid $100 for is not worth it in the slightest, no advantage to spend money on the game because you just get DDA on a NMS squad, which I respect the people that don’t spend money, I was one of them until I really got into UT about a month into the game and realized I wanted the new cards and I wanted a better team after playing really good to start the year but now it’s all pointless and I get more mad and disappointed than just having fun.

Whatever they have done to the game after chris is AWFUL!!!

p.s. - This is coming from a VERY disappointed custome. Do better EA.

No matter what the overall a buckeye isn't worth shit

Completely agree with this take. But agreeing and being able to stay calm cool and collected enough to successfully execute this mindset is two different things 😂

I agree also. To the other guy, my mortgage is paid so my "play money" is just that. The frustrating part is when you run a play (and replays always tell the truth) and your pulling guard runs up-field to block a safety rather than one of the linebacker in front of him.

I got Howard too, sold him and got Ngata, Powers, and Pat Pete. Just gotta use ur resources right

Yep agree.  Unfortunately I date back to Techno Bowl on the NES and remember when it was "John Madden Football" on the Genesis, so my ego is not in it.  I'm just trying to play well enough to hang in with the youngsters and have fun.  After not having a console for over a decade, I'm grateful I have a fun NCAA franchise game to play again.

100% agree. 

I'm not ever spending money with EA Sports again until all the libtard idiots are replaced.  Whoever was working there in 2005-2007, bring them back.  

Gauntlets have been bullshit all year....go 8-0 and then have a lag switch player freeze your controller and boot you from the game.  Every gauntlet I get 1 or 2 of these.  Hhilarious too that I've never seen a youtube player ever once get a game like that.  AND their competition in gauntlets is the most sorry ass players. 

Dda is super whack. 

The Game is never consistent.  Constantly changes little things like passing type or just in general how the cpu plays.  Games will either have people literally walking around clueless not blocking or playing position and klubnik is throwing dimes to flannigan on the top db's in the game.  Its just pathetic.  DEI is ghey af just like dda.

Randy moss wide open....dropped ball. 

DE about to make a sack....stops and looks at qb.  

Might as well play with a magic eightball.

The funniest thing is the bums that think they are good at video games when they spam midblitz and use the least skill required glitches in the game.  This is like going to walmart....makes you devalue the entire human population.

And who are the morons that decide every week which players are which schemes.  Yiu guys at EA don't know shit about football or how to strategically plan a game.  Stop being the downs syndrome gatekeepers.  

You should have no control over schemes or be charging for team.  Also why are they restricting abilities!??? Like have tons of abilities and why are we not at platinum yet?!

Who the fck are you to gatekeep all this stuff.  You make the game suck.  The people could organize special abilities on players to actually make games more interesting and have real impact players. 

Instead we just have to march along to the beat of the most retarded drummer....you, ea sports.

Definitely a skill issue

Game been broken for a while. 
Great time to check out some diff games
