How is the game now?

Taken an extended break but getting the itch to play again. How is the game now?

• gameplay is worse than it’s ever been unless you run exploit plays. It’s just a bunch of cheesers and AI Bot Teams screwing you over with DDA and straight up cheating now. Seeing some are getting banned for it and good. EA can’t suspend itself though and they are the biggest cheat in the game.

Thanks, don’t think I’ll bother coming back then.

I am not having too much issue with "exploit" plays. I am currently winning 5 out of 6 ranked matches and I am using a running scheme at the moment. 

The gameplay is worse than last year but I enjoy all the new plays and ways to customize. I also find it easy to maintain a competitive team without spending money. I have had no reason to suspect I am playing AI either, as many talk to me on the mic.

Game should be better but I enjoy playing it.

i keep saying it over and over again, although I have no way to prove it. EA keeps tuning the gameplay every other week. Right now? The game is horrible at least in all american h2h i havent been playing on heisman so i cant speak on that. How are my guys dropping more picks withe SILVER house call than when they had bronze a few months back? Knockouts occur less, and defense is non existent once again. A couple weeks ago, my guys were catching more picks, pursuit seemed better, and knockouts occured more frequently especially in double/triple coverage. Why do they keep silently tuning the game

Pack odds have been horrible (although, that’s supposed to change with the odds boost but who knows), gameplay has been even worse, but as of late is a tad better. 
DDA is at an all time high. For me, personally, I get to the point where I put in enough time to be good, but figure, what’s the point? I’m going to get cheated anyway.

DDA exists. I hate it. It has much less impact than many claim.

The best players win consistently. The worst lose consistently. 

This game is less predictable in play to play results than others, but the final results at the end are pretty consistent with what would be predicted.

Honestly college football ultimate team is dead and not worth getting back into

DDA is wild right now. I’m 81-9 in ranked and can over come it for the most part but just played a guy that had Brandon Marshall cooking my Leonard Moore. Catching every ball 99 CIT. No skill just rolling out right with qb bc contains are still trash and throwing it up to him all game.  Contested catches but never dropped 1. I won the game but I’m tired of dealing with it. It’s obvious when the game is being influenced.

They nerfed packs after season 3 HARD just like they did last year

I could write a 10 page essay for you but to keep it short, dont come back, the game is in the worst state ive ever seen a football game be in. Id rather play roblox football.

Completely agree but that’s every year unfortunately. I don’t know why people even enjoy playing that way. I want to play real football. Half of it’s ea’s fault, half is the people that choose to play that way.

You’re not alone.

I'm enjoying it. Tons of content. Great card animations. Rush is going on right now with Vick and Hester. Great time to start back up as they hit the mid 90s on cards
