Dude, im getting really sick of EA doing this kind of stuff

Not only ignoring the blatant problems/glitches weve all been complaining about for months and years while simultaneously instantly fixing anything that benefits players etc

Lately things to screw NMS/solo grinder types etc even MORE. None more annoying than the recent artificial dramatic increase in "difficulty"  in solos and challenges etc. Its ridiculous. Some of these are becoming harder than playing an actual human in MUT champs. The computer literally cheats. Even on "rookie" (lolol yea right, it SAYS rookie but its clearly not, that changed a few weeks ago)

Its not a "challenge" its just annoying and wastes our time even further. SMH Rant ends/

I'm NMS and don't even bother with anything I don't want to play. It's that simple. I won't blame the cards as an excuse for losing as it's my choice what to play and what position to put them in to succeed or not. However, the lag and general performance issues that ONLY HAPPEN when playing people online...yeah, inexcusable as hell and sketch.

I don't mind tough solos as long as the rewards are good but the rewards are dog shit and a waste of time. Someone told me you have to do the haunted neighborhood and haunted house or whatever it's called 11 times for a 90? That's 143 games, fuck that. I remember you had solos and you got the stars and got your champion or at least a card that can be used for a set or to sell. 

I know, the people who had farm accounts are a big reason for leaving us with bnd cards but ban them permanently and let the people who are actually playing the game the right way get rewarded.

That last part is pretty key here, and an important takeaway in life outside of madden and in any other walk of life as well. Some of us genuinely want to do the right thing (for the record, I didn't even bother doing the superstar glitch or whatever even though I was aware of it and had some time if I wanted to do it, as a personal example) and it's unfair to punish everyone else or change how you view them or interact with them in some way because of the actions of others.

Yep. EA pretty much told us all to fuck off with the bnd stuff. This is what happens when people try to get an advantage, they ruin it for everyone else. That's why even tho EA pretty much doesn't care about us, i can't blame them since a large part of this community would break the game or take advantage of a glitch if they had the chance. Not all of us ofc but a good amount. it's part of the reason we are where we are with MUT

Yep, sadly pretty much any multiplayer gaming community I've been a part of consists of highly toxic players. In a similar vein to what I said a minute ago, this reflects life outside of the games rather than the games itself that these people happen to be a part of. People suck.

Pretty much. It just sucks that the people trying to play the game the right way also get punished. It would be interesting if EA can program the matchmaking to where it matches you with someone who calls similar plays as you do. If you call cheese all the time, you'll be matched up against them and etc. I think that would be a way to flush out the cheesers and let them keep playing each other

Great idea honestly. Would be really cool if it worked that way, although it would be a complicated algorithm to develop, especially with the complete randomness of people. There are times I randomly want to play something else, and mess around with it and might stay roughly within the same 4-10 plays which could arguably be a cheese, although I think of that more as wanting to develop better skills by starting off simple. Great idea though that would definitely be interesting, but clearly far above any effort EA wants to make.

All of a sudden this year the last legends challenges are hard and other challenges are on all madden 

idiotic imo just hoping people spend and bnds are non existent for the most part

I agree 💯 with you. I played a solo battle game the other day. where the CPU only had 6 players on the field. of course the game didn't play all the way through. it ended up glitching and shutting down. i take the loss and none of my stats counted. the lagging is a constant struggle and irritating. you' think they' fix this by now. but they don't give a shit about their customers.

I don't find solos hard at all

Yea, it would go by the percentage you call the plays. Say you call iform 2000 times, you will be matched with someone who also called it a similar amount of times

Haha when's the last time you've seen someone use iform even once, except maybe for really obvious running situations? I'm someone who legitimately wants to make those kind of things work, and just recently switched to the west coast playbook which does have a good diversity of those.. ironically the one gun formation in the book I'm least likely to use is gun bunch. It just somehow really doesn't seem to work for me.

 Another thing I like is singleback ace, ace slot, wing offset, or y trips...don't see many people running those. I also played around with the spread playbook just to go with gun ace, ace slot, wing formations etc..I like to be effectively different. I digress though. Maybe plays could be given a cheese weight or something, like say the ones who call spinner over and over have a higher cheese weight, and the ones who have lower cheese weight by actually doing their own thing match each other.

I play out of iform a lot actually. I'm a big runner and i like to pass out of running formations once my opponents brings his dbs down. I play out of a lot of different formations. I use the 49ers offense and they have a formation in shotgun that puts one of your receivers at HB so with HRM, i can put them in the flats and on a texas route, it's crazy. Since Madden 11, i ran the Saints offense but they took a lot of stuff out of it this year so i found a new one. Strong is another nice formation. There is a fullback dive play in Strong and i put 89 Henry at fb in that formation lol, won me a game last night in my playoffs
