Just When I Think the Bad Breaks Are All RNG...

...I get a game that feels completely DDA.

There's just no reason I should get that many bad rolls in one game, both on offense and on defense.

The people who deny DDA want people to disbelieve their lying eyes. Don't believe the fact that EA has a patent for DDA, don't believe the fact that DDA only got talked about in around Madden 15 and 16, when things felt way off when compared to just Madden 25 or 13; don't believe the fact that we have a decade worth of anecdotes and data to look at, and you sure as shit can't believe your own experiences playing the game. 

If you've played Madden long enough, you know when you or someone else is playing like garbage, or just isn't great at the game, and when it's completely out of their hands. There've been hundreds of games I've played over the last decade where there was without a shadow of doubt, DDA. And in the few games where I had DDA going in my favor, it's not hard to spot. But one of the problems is that it's an artificial ego-boost for so many of these dipshit kids. So as soon as they open up the possibility that EA's handed them freebies and they're not half as good as they think they are, that artificial ego-boost ceases to exist. 

And just as another point, no, the randomness and flukiness of Madden doesn't explain things in the slightest. Not in single games, nor over considerable periods of time. Again, you can easily tell when something's a one-off and when it's a pattern.

Man, that’s a paragraph for sure..

there is no such thing as DDA… I’ve played 700 games this year, I win those that I play well, I lose those where I suck.., 

Claiming dDA is a thing tells me that you struggle. DM me to help on a scheme

Scenario A: Assume an O-line that’s 99 OVR with RBK- or PBK-class attributes boosted to 99, with Secure Protector across the front five, and Edge Protector at both tackles. Opponent is fielding a defensive line of similar strength.

Question A: How frequently should I experience immediate penetration by insta-shed?

There's Def games where the game helps out one team over the other. Anyone who denies is delusional or an EA fanboy.

Folks please stay on topic and stop with the name calling and flaming. Thank you.

There are blitzes in the game that regardless of overall, if you don’t block them, they will come through. That’s not DDA sir, just bad programming of the game.

Horrible comparison and not even in the same atmosphere as dda. The stuff you described is meta bs.   

We’re talking about the blatant cheating ea forces. At least stay on topic like the moderator said fr.

😂😂😂 once again, I’ve not seen this DDA yall claim.. I’ll leave the conversation. gotta dap up the guys at EA for making sure I got the non-DDA account. You guys have a good one.

The NFL should not license this game until they provide FAIR HONEST gameplay

I’m sorry, I should have been more specific, there are certain formations where you can adjust your linemen where they come through untouched… not blitzes, but d linemen adjustments.. 

hope that cleared things up.

It did not. It’s ok though! No need for DC, you lost this one. Move on like you said you were to do.

What does DDA stand for?

I agree that the game play is crazy right now. There is an abundance of crazy stuff happening...I just have not heard that term before.
