Does your blood boil

I stopped playing h2h modes for two weeks now and my whole body and mind feels better. My blood pressure is normal now and loss a few pounds.

Is this game really worth it to your body and mind? The defense on this game is mind boggling and nothing works… unless you do the meta cheese blitz or double a gap blitz.  Now we have zero abilities it’s even ten times worst. All in all my goal was to get chris johnson. now I know it’s not worth the cost that is costing my mind and body. 
 

Anyone here stopped playing h2h modes I think the mode got worst because the zero abilities.

For me abilities are fine i guess its just the damn instant pressure every play in ranked and that draft mode is just  as  bad. I get people want to win but you would think if they lose they die irl its so frustrating. In ranked its a constant loop of winning a game and then losing two more and i would like to think of my self as a decent player and i have a 93ovr team so i dont know what im doing wrong.

this place is turning into alcoholics anonymous

Maybe find a different hobby if this game is doing that to you.

Yeah it’s worst in ranked and champs. I like how last year there was less pressure on everyone since the player reward was tied to the comp field pass. I hate how EA went back to this way.

They just need to remove the DDA

The solution is just not caring so much lol

Best of luck. I've been playing madden for 10+ years and gotta say this is the worst madden I've played. The DDA in this game is blatant. You can drop a pick and give up a touchdown the next play. Your WR is open but the diving animation makes him drop the pass because you dont have gift wrapped on. Dline insta sheds turn into Dline picks. Fumbling on conservative. Inaccurate passes, safeties slowing down and giving up streaks, your opponents defense becomes zeus when you try to convert 4th downs, your defense stands still on 2 pt conversions, the list goes on.....i think this game goes downhill with 0 AP abilities. IMO

I respect where you are coming from, but that's basically the reason WHY i'm here -- little else manages (for better or worse) to get the competitive juices flowing liek battling it out on the virtual gridiron.  I'm not a young man, so my days of running around seeking adventure and excitement are behind me, but this allows me to hang out with my boys, play some smash mouth football from time to time and hopefully not want to smash my controller off the television in the process.

Quitting is the correct decision, this bad, buggy-ass, inconsistent mess of a "simulation" football game has cost me FAR more than I'd care to admit, in terms of time, money, resources... and most importantly, mental well-being.

I had to basically take August, September and October off... was still casually tinkering with my team, biding my time and waiting for the game to get to a state where i thought it was at least remotely playable without wanting to immediately choke a bitch anytime I engaged with Madden Ultimate Team.  Things are definitely NOT good, the game is still an absolute mess, but the most glaring (route stem / speed glitches) and such have kind of been patched.  Sadly, this is as good as it's going to get, at least unless/until the league decides to open up that exclusive licensing arrangement they've had with EA for decades now.  Even then, it's not liek Take Two Interactive is going to be any better. Once Wall Street got involved and started seeing dollar signs (during peak COVID), these franchises are now seen as investment vehicles, more so than video games.

I feel the opposite about Zero Chill -- the game now feels more playable than ever, due to the introduction of 0AP abilities.  I finally feel liek we've got a chance on defense.  I hate the fact that abilities exist in this game, but they're an absolute necessity and cards do not play well without proper ability setup.  There's some massive skill gap stuff going on here.  I can instantly look at an opponent's ability setups and use that to judge their knowledge level of the current game.  Abilities are some of THE most impactful stuff to exist in Madden Ultimate Team.

mut 25 it’s the most inconsistent gameplay ever. Add to that No defense ( you have to use the meta blitz to get stops) players not catching picks. on offense the bump that your WR ruins the whole timing. Also the run game is bad.

I appreciate your feedback man I’m gonna to continue on the h2h sabbatical . I am still plating solo seasons and solos. This year gameplay has been really a big disappointment.

i wish i could care about anything as much as you
