Attributes to abilities to discounted abilities to xfactors…

… no idea what comes next except we’ll need it to win and it won be cheap.

The baked on xfactors are the end.

Game will be on life support next month.

double baked on x factors

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if EA eventually released an ability/xfactor that would turn off all of your opponent's abilities for a certain amount of plays. Basically, it would be momentum shift on steroids. Maybe not this year but I certainly think it's possible if they plan for more xfactors as abilities in future games.

nothing but things to make the game even more arcade like 😂 the cheese has increased x5 now I‘m running across guys with Van Guard everywhere & running like a madman , RPO’s are now worse & with double me its hard to beat cause they always catch it , free film study is annoying not to forget about Omaha its all doomed & annoying to play against

Free Film Study is the best thing about this game right now. Heck, I often know what my opponent is about to do, and still struggle to stop it. And the better users that run Identifier can see when I've sniffed them out, and just audible to another formation.

There is no reason Film Study should even be an ability. It should be automatic.

Get your credit cards ready.

I‘m sorry but thats just a wild comment 😂😂 that totally defeats the purpose of football its bad enough on regular H2H it shows what play you last used in between plays that alone is annoying if the coaches in real life dont see each others plays in Madden we shouldn’t either thats why I said its becoming more arcade like with the abilities & x factors its just a big shit show now

Film study, gee, I wonder why it's called film study.. 

It's almost as if NFL teams study film and can, and HAVE, been able to see a play coming because they watched film? 

Do you watch football? Heck, do you even play Madden? Most people once they know their opponent can start to pick up tendencies and sometimes can even catch the whole play. I'm pretty sure I can sniff out a play without seeing the play art as well because I pay attention. 

And Omaha? Don't even get me started. Unless they're running some disguises it's pretty easy to read coverage.

Omaha is one of the most abusive X-factors. Paired with Identifier, my opponent can just run double-corners against Cover 2, and against other schemes, my opponent can almost effortlessly match down the field.

I have ways to cope with Omaha, but once my opponent audibles out of their first play (which some users do on every play), I have seconds to adjust to the emerging formation, to cover the evident gaps, and not get caught usering the wrong player at the snap. This last step is usually the one that buries me.

Omaha and Film Study shouldn't be abilities in my opinion. Just another way to bail out people who don't know how to make reads or make adjustments.

See I used to be of this opinion, but since I have put film study on my squad, I have encountered significantly less rpo cheesers, as once they figure I out that I can stop their rpo's and can see them coming, they audible to something else and run a real offense. 

Yes in a perfect world, EA could just fix the RPO issue and not have film study in the game, but the current solution is not that terrible IMO.
