“game is dead”=you cant win if teams are even

people say the “game is dead” at the point where there is parity on most teams,

basically, when there so many 99s that almost every team is stacked and the big spenders arent special anymore.

when strategy is the last determining factor:

most folks quit because they really want tecmo bowl, opposed to a real gridiron chess match.

i dont believe most folks even like the actual sport of football, they just want to feel like a winner….

until “the game is dead” and the glitches and whale rosters dont mean much.

just an observation.

I really hope EA brings back the Salary Cap stuff in MUT. 

I know, I know, no economic interests on doing that so forget it... But at the end I think that only with restrictions you can mantain a realistic gameplay (and it's much more fun building teams).

thats an interesting idea…

i would advocate for custom playbooks and more ways to develop players in a unique way.

i dont mind the “god squads,” I just would like more room for creativity in the strategy and team building process

I agree, a lot of people jump ship when they don’t have a clear advantage anymore and they actually have to “earn” their wins.

I build the best team that I can but I don‘t run the meta offense or defense and I don‘t watch YouTube so I’m used to “earning” my wins. I prefer it that way. I’d rather play a fun back and forth game then get a quick win by exploiting something I saw in a YouTube video.

I normally play all the way through the end of content, usually all the way to Oct/Nov but it does get a little boring when they stop releasing new content and you have to wait forever for H2H matchups.

It might also be a tiny bit skill issue but I hear what you are saying just disagree a liitle

I don't mind it as much as it feels more like scheme/adjustments over team later in the year. 

Earlier in the year when the highest overall cards are 90-92, you can get absolutely crushed by a worse player simply because your 87 overall players can't keep up. Later in the year when higher end cards start coming out, there seems to be much smaller gaps between a 98 overall and a 95 overall card because of thresholds, so it comes down to much more scheme based gameplay rather than the guy with the better players dominating.

you get it.

💯

I enjoy competition.  I don't want to play people I can beat by 50 points.  There is just no fun in that.  I would rather play a full game, see a variety of plays on offense and defense, and enjoy myself.
