H2H is impossible with Gurley

I know this is tinfoil hat stuff, but the difficulty for me has gone through the roof since I updated my 50/50 Eagles squad with Gurley, Lewis, Bland, Vincent, etc. 

Last week in Champs I went 20-2. This week I have already lost 3 and my wins have been a grind. My o line with lynchpin stopped blocking so guys are in my backfield immediately on runs and passes. Opponent DBs are now reacting to balls before they leave Vick’s hand. My DBs won’t play coverage at all. Worst of all Gurley can only flex his speed on passing plays because he can’t get to the LOS without being touched. 

I’m thinking about cashing Gurley in. I know some of you don’t believe sliders exist in H2H but I do and having a blue 97 on my squad certainly seems to have engaged them. 

Am I a crazy person?

You have 11.5 million coins in 4 players.  This thread is not needed.  Sell all of them.

I got all of them from my prebuild. I had massive profit left over for Lewis and Brand.

Regardless of how you obtained them, if they are auction able, it doesn't matter.  11.5 million coins.   You said it yourself you did better last week without Gurley.  11.5 million will go down by half in a month, if not more.   I bet you do just as good after you sell all 4 as you do with.

You are probably right. Saving 3 AP on defense from Lewis and Bland seems worth it for 3.2 million coins. 

Hidden benefit on Gurley - my last two opponents quit without snapping the ball…

Its virtual currency, keep your good players

I think you're just on a bad run. I'd keep him, personally, but it is A LOT of coins.

Sliders do exist in madden, it is most noticeable if your team is 2 ovr’s better than opponent. You will notice 88 bnd players skipping the lube station on the way to wrecking you. The sliders existed for as long as I can remember, they are also present when playing in regular H2H.

This has been my experience 100/100

It's all virtual til you run out and have to buy more.

I have tested & tested & tested this game flipped and bounced teams all types of ways, and in my personal experience, my best playing experience has always been when I'm in that game where my overall is the highest it can be but lower than my opponents overall. like it can't just be a tanked team, but if your opponent has a trash squad prepare for dropped balls, fumbles, super difficult 4th downs and red zone interactions etc.

I think the game goes in runs or something, like for example 10 bad games 10 good games where the 10 bad are super difficult but still winable, and the 10 good are super easy. some type of formula like that.......

when the momentum meter is on my side my offense & defense is lights out, when the momentum meter is not on my side it's super difficult to win/pick up yards but still possible.

my team has "NEVER" played well with all the top players, and I definately have the coins for all the top players, I just don't use them because it doesn't play good, i've tried theme teams, god squads, best QB's, best CB's, best WR's, none of that has really mattered......

if i have a god squad the WR seperation against less opponents is almost non existant even with the best WR's in the game, my HB can't find holes etc.

if I tank my team to like 87, all my top players then suddenly become magicians, like if I put that gurly on a 90-91 squad he'd be trash, if I put him on an 87 squad he be the best HB in mut that ever existed.

not sure the exact formula or whats going on, so it's not like you can really pinpoint any exact winning formula or exact players, that's why you will have some people say players are amazing and the exact same player does nothing for the other guy. 

very interested in any insight on the topic, I play the game all the time and i'd love for top players to work for me but they just don't unless my team is setup really strange....

the only thing I can think is maybe they like gate it at 87? so theme teams excel? or you get good performance out of a theme teams? because i tried a falcons theme team and it was amazing at 87 overall, when I upgraded w/ harvest and deion etc, it became total trash and couldn't do sh*t... before that asante samuel on the 87 overall team was making the craziest interceptions I had ever seen.

I stopped chasing top players and started playing with all limiteds and my team is currently playing very well.... not really sure?

This really parallels my experience. I had talked myself into the idea of 97 speed Gurley breaking the game. It just feels like he sped up all of my opponents. 

I’m thinking I might go back to a gold punter to drop my OVR…

the crazy part about this is, lower overall players can be glitchy etc, I've noticed 83 devin duvernay and several of the under 87 most feared players have amazing animations and be super glitchy, 82? I think it is ashon robinson from harvest was in my lineup and was getting as many sacks as anybody else i've played with.........

nothing really makes sense, I'm playing a guy just now with all the top players, otto graham etc, and von miller just played a zig route like the best man corner i've ever seen and he was in zone, his graham cannot make a throw against me at all and none of his plays are working for him. I'd love to figure out the formula, just not sure what is what.

this poor soul has momentum and everything, and still his players are just not working for him it's plain as day.

derwin james w/ a pick, barry sanders getting crazy yardage every play against the god squad.

EA scams people in more ways than one lol. I think that is my biggest deterrent to spend money on this shitshow
