Did an experiment this week - SHOCKING RESULTS!

So I always finish with 13-15 wins a week - Never more, Never less…Like clockwork.

I have a 91 overall team - It’s a good team. But no matter who I added or changed or upgraded - 13 to 15 wins per week. 
 

So this week I decided to try something - Played nothing but 84’s in every position in my lineup just to see how much worse I would be…Well guess what?..13 wins.

In conclusion…This is all just a mirage. It truly doesn’t matter how good or bad your team is. You will be matched up with people to make you arrive at 13-15 games (or whatever your norm is). Bottom line - Play who you want & don’t worry about upgrading.

It’s that EA DDA lol last night I played 4 champs games, first 2 were against 91 overalls (I’m 89) and I easily won both games. Next two were against a 87 and a 86 and suddenly Winston started overthrowing simple routes

Bro…YES….I get more nervous when I see their 3 best players are NMS than when I see a God Squad! lol

I agree to an extent. I thunk 88 to 92 overall plays really close but anytime I've ever played anyone eith an 84 as their best, I've demolished them 

How good was the teams you were matched up against ?

They varied greatly. Some were low rated, Some were god squads. The algorithm seems to just care about getting you to that number of wins. Like I’d get smacked by a God Squad and then get 3 games against guys who quit after their first possession fails.

Yeah this checks out. I was in the same window consistently, did the tebow set at the end of season 1 and massively upgraded my team and got full TT chems- started off like 8-0 and thought I'd never lose again, just to end up getting insane matchups and landing right at 15 wins (my previous best) lol

It’s a play calling / adjustment issue. Yes it’s true your team plays up or down compared to your opponent. So naturally when your team is playing down you need to call better plays and make more hot routes and individual defensive adjustments. Pass lead less and get people more wide open. Defend better and man crosses and make zone shells in man blitzes rather than running stock.

Live by this code and watch yourself get those few extra wins to get 16+ in champs

DDA is in all EA games it was always the same with Fifa too

Exact same thing happens to me like clockwork.  13-15 wins every time.  Started after I got 16 wins and then bought a token.  Once i paid for a gauntlet token....never got a free one ever again. 

Also, same with gauntlet, I go 8-0 then get a lag switcher or the guy that locks out my controller so ur up 7-0 and then suddenly the buttons don't work and you get tossed for excessive grieving.  

Its absolute bs but the real question is will EA change anything or do anything??

If they made the matchmaking like a casino can I at least get drunk while im getting tricked? 🤨
