I'll make this short because if I'm going to detail everything I'll have you reading this post for 3 hours and that's a small portion of the erroneous errors I've seen for years now, I'm now under the full belief that the DDA (dynamic difficulty adjustment) is the true cause of who wins and who loses each game while playing head 2 head. I've had nice win streaks where my strategy on both offense and defense have worked very well to grant me winning streaks of 12-15 wins in a row, everything is working fine and I'm feeling good about my progress. However I'm now seeing the hard work and great strategy get taken away from me in every game now putting me in losing streaks of 7-10 games at a time. I'm constantly switching strategies now to combat the way I'm forced to play this madden game trying to find ways around the DDA but I'm not able to play the way I normally do because I'm getting stopped on each run and many passes are either incomplete or picked off, I feel like the more I get wins the harsher the punishment is when I need to return those wins as an agreement by EA with me - (you will be allowed to win these games but we will come back for those at a later time) - I've noticed my players don't do much on offense letting defenders walk in to make a stop in the backfield or getting a QB sack/ forced bad throw. Meanwhile my opponents are having a simple time getting everything they want without any kind of difficulty whatsoever. This looks to much like DDA being the dictatorship system making the decisions for wins and loses. There is no way to counter this because it is integrated in the game itself. You may think you're playing an actual user but checking their name after the game is over will result in user not found most of the time. I'm fully convinced that DDA is real and it is causing me to not play madden anymore. You cannot play a game where you don't have a say about the outcome, the only thing you are to do is wait for the AI to give one of the 2 users the win.
Anybody else having this issue with madden?
