DBs being behind your WR and intercepting the ball? It’s like their DBs animation overrides my WRs and it goes through them.

Of course, this is what animations, DDA, and RNG are all about. Take away user control and Maddens code decides who wins certain player interactions. There are ways to combat this, as you have to find out which animations will trigger in certain instances. But overall, this is why animations are terrible. And if youre lagging, forget winning an animation battle. 

You can also tell when Madden DDA is taking over when your secondary reacts late to passes and allows the opponent to get yards. Another example is when your players just dont seem to be pursuing the ball carrier and take horrific angles. Another is when youre OL completely block absolutely no one (I have this clipped a few times, but it has happened to be a lot more than I have clipped it). 

This game is completely controlled by animations and DDA to keep games close to users keep playing and dont quit against high level players. Obviously this is a win for EA's monopoly as the more users the more $$$. 

Ryan Moody shows another reason why animations are terrible....and why blitzing is effective because your QB actually gets stuck in an animation. Although, the animation that Ryan Moody talks about in the video below is helped by the Fearless and Gunslinger Ability on your QB.

Here is an outstanding video by Madden MoneyShot on Madden DDA. Basically exposes all the ways users get screwed in games, just so your opponent is kept withing a reasonable point deferential (obviously not every game is heavily influenced, but many are)....

EA consitently denies it has DDA in its games, but anyone that plays it knows it is 100 percent in their games. The inconsistentcy in the player awareness shows it glaringly. 

Im waiting on EA to bring in cartoon characters to run off the sideline and jump on the QB after you sack him like NFL Blitz.

Haha.

Simply put, EA Sports is the worst managed company in the world in my opinion. The CEO and Board of Directors should fire everyone, then they should fire themselves.
