How to beat DDA or Momentum shift?

Some believe it’s a myth, others believe it’s real, but everyone experienced it… 

when all of a sudden your team is running half speed, dropping open pass, receivers  don’t react to the ball, linemen give sacks with only three rushers, passer thrown innacurate pass in opponent  hands without being pressured  and defense is  playing with -10 awarenness. 

Is there a way to get your players to come back from it? I mean you can see it kick in after taking a lead and having a winning record for a few games in a row. Particulary when the game take a minute or two to find a game when it normaly take 10 seconds… 

I understand it’s a way to balance skill when EA can’t find a opponent that as your skill cause it’s not happening when opponent is clearly just better than me. Or, Maybe it’s just a momentum shift that happen during the game. If that’s the case, there must be a way to switch that momentum back to your side during game? 

When that happen I go back to basic, simple play’s that work 90% of the time, but the situations stated above are still prominently happening until a few weird glitch or animations cause the oppenent to have a lot of advantages during the game (such as receiver who keep running without reacting to ball and it fall in your opponent hands 15 yards down the field). 

how ya’ll dealing with this? Any tips and tricks? 

(Pardon my english, third language)

This usually happens for me vs bad teams, as in 94 ovr Ty Law would superman a seam high throw from 15 yards away. The only way I found to counter this bs is running the ball. Take No risks. Same on defense run cov 4 and sprinkled in agap, do not press as that 95 ovr Calvin Ridley will absolutely torch your woolen. there is nothing else you can do

Yeah same for me, it’s mostly against mid squad. I had an opponent D-Line make a pick 5 yard off the line on a 30 yard deep pass. bro had a 5 feet high animations for a DT 😂
 

I’ll try running the ball. It seems like it’s the best way to counter it‘s since your less dependant on CPU animation. 
 

Thanks for the input!

Best way I have found to counter this at least on offense is to go to basics. Run once every 3-4 downs, as that will est your play action, and take the easy checkdowns. After a drive or two of playing like that offense, things tend to open up for some reason and you can take deep shots again,

Go into a h2h mode that you don’t play and get destroyed 21-0 before the end of the 1st q. When the quarter ends being down 20+ points, a message pops up and declares “ea has matched you up above your level”. Then a prompt will appear asking if you want to quit. DDA will then be lessened on you for a few games minimum. 
 

Tldr; get killed by 21 and manipulate your ELO
