DDA?

It’s obviously in the game I just saw it with my own eyes. Guy I’m playing breaks up the middle with Devin Neal (93 speed). I’m chasing him down with Igbinosun (98 speed, 99 accel with theme team). I actually lose distance on him and he scores a 75 yarder

Meanwhile I’m getting tackled in the backfield trying to run with 96 Etienne or 95 Sampson. It feels like a joke considering the difference in my team vs his. If you’re 2+ overalls better than your opponent you might as well just quit.

Everyone blaming us for having good teams can go play Dynasty. Sorry but when you’re putting money into a game there should be an expectation that your players perform exactly to their stats. Don’t know how this is debatable

Can confirm this.

I have been telling everyone lately I would MUCH rather play someone the same as my overall or one below.

Anything more than that and your receivers aren't going to get open no matte who you have and your running back is gonna have a hard time just getting out of the backfield nevermind the line of scrimmage.

They could also run Tahj Brooks out there and he's gonna outrun your fastest guys to the endzone.

DDA stands for "I spent money and therefore think I should never lose"

Everyone who thinks they've lost games because of DDA should be able to report a similar number of games they won because of DDA.

It's mathematically impossible for everyone to be only losing H2H games because of DDA.

In the 9 years I've been on various MUT (and now CUT) forums I've yet to see a single person report they think they won a game because of DDA.

I would rather have no dda and lose most of my games to players that r just better than me than have dda win a few games but than have to play little Timmy who just loaded up 100 dollars worth of points and proceed to get ass whooped because 94s and 95s become 60

Just played someone with a much worse team than me, he quit down 21-0 2 pick sixes and scoring drive, thanks DDA

Nice alt. Didn’t learn your lesson I see. And odds are you’re the player getting bailed out all game every game lol

This post stands for “ I can’t afford shit in a hobby I do so ima hate like the adolescent punk I am”. Fair trade.

I don’t think money should guarantee you wins. But if EA is gonna advertise “the best players” in packs and get people to drop $$$ on them, the players should actually be the best and outperform much lower overall players in a majority of situations.

In Clash of Clans, you don’t see Supercell boosting lower Townhalls so they can beat up on higher level players to make the game more “fair”.

Play NMS if you want, it’s a choice and I respect it. However, myself and many others did spend money to get the benefits EA advertised. It’s not “fair” to us to give you handouts I’m sorry.

Sounds like fraud

no i feel you man, its easy to just blame the game and DDA for stuff that happens, but when its stuff you legitimately can not control it gets a little fishy

For example, I play Marshon Lattimore as CB1, with my boosts and strat cards he plays as a 98 in my lineup with 97 speed and 99 man coverage 

I was playing a game where the guy had 92 speed Treadwell in as WR1, game on the line in the 4th quarter, guy has to score or the game is over. I set all my settings, shade over the top, etc. His 92 speed treadwell just randomly torches Lattimore in coverage and has a walk in touchdown. its shit like this that makes us question it. Lattimore had this guy in a straight jacket all game, and you mean to tell me last play of the game Lattimore just decides to not cover him? on a basic go route?

well if Lattimore was in zone the 85 Zone coverage against a 90+ route runner would explain it

EA, DDA is in the game.

there are just too many instances examples, good and bad players noticing shit that is just unrealistic within a sand box of abilities and attributes at hand. 
Will  a bad player loose because of DDA with a god squad, versus a bad player with bum squad & DDA on his side? Absolutely. 
It gets tricky when a good player with a bad squad plays a good player with a good squad. That in sense does not happen a lot, but it is the most infuriating games ever when it does.

good players will always find ways to win vs bad players, is the point, dda and all.

In madden I 1000% believe in games where you face an opponent with a lesser team, certain 50/50 events tend to go their way and lineman in particular just do not shed. I also believe they “shadow nerf” free items. qbs are the most notable, idc what overall it is free qbs are absolutely trash, and if you have a lower overall that meets accuracy thresholds but he’s outdated af he will one day just start air mailing passes. 
 

in cut, I think the game is just awful and sometimes bad things happen to you. 
 

both ends of the stick have shit on it, the cut side just has a little less than the madden side.

Lol EA literally talked bout it being implemented in Madden years ago, then went on to change their story/run from their original statement ever since. If you don't know at this point, you haven't been paying attention.

On what kind of route? a simple go route? ok sure 

Was it a double move with the receiver having cutter? What coverage was he in?

bro just go back to working for ea nobody on this website is talking about how great the game is

If you don’t think it’s real, just remember how good O-line Pursuit angles are. 97 speed corners getting angled with 20 yards of horizontal separation and hawked down shoulder-to-shoulder.

One of the more noticeable things is the o line.

If they're a few overalls beneath you you won't get any push on either side of the ball at all.
